#redacted contra-elementals

[elisacaleisa]

DISCLAIMER!: The quiz is public and available to everyone in Redacted Records website. If it was an accidental technical issue, that made the quiz go public, I have no problem with taking them down. Please, notify me, if that is the case! /gensrs /lh

Thank you for reading! And that being said, these icons are now available in Google Drive to be used for silly edits, inspiration of OCs and some lore theorizing, boards, etc. All of these icons belong to Erik (RedactedAudio), as they always did.

There are two official examples of said icons: RE-RENDERED FREELANCER and SEER

I have updated icons for: ELEMENTALS, ENERGETICS, CONTRA-FIRE and FREELANCER

I have added icons for: SEER, LATENT, HEALER, PSYCHOKINETIC, ILLUSORY, STEALTH, rest of CONTRA-ELEMENTALS, SHIFTER, DREAMWALKER, TELEPATH, VAMPIRE, WARDER

You will find them under their respesctive names of said ability + elementals (and contra-fire) have been renamed to "Air Elemental / Lasko" as the icons represent the ability more than the characters now.

I hope that's all and have a nice day, everyone!

So…

Did Erik ever explain contra-elementals fully??

Because I’m sitting here wondering like, whether Xavier was killed off simply for being against the laws of the universe 😔

Or do Contra-Elementals only exist within the fire elemental genre? Because the way Xavier is explained, is through the pulling of heat energy rather than the production of it.

But in my opinion that creates a very confusing circumstance for the rest of elements? Imperium Lasko is already seen withdrawing air from rooms.

Do Contra-Water elementals just delete water from existence? Or does it overlap into like, heat energy and evaporation?

Conclusion, someone please revive Xavier and get him to explain himself!!🙏🙏🙏

(Please I’m on my knees)

headcannon that vampires are almost cold-blooded, and because they can’t be in the sun they’re cold almost all the time. so (unconsciously) they’ll always be doing something to be warm; fireplaces, stupid amounts of blankets, etc.

[free-boundsoul]

Random thought that popped into my head as Im about to sleep: What if Contra-Air Elementals dealt with manipulating atmospheric pressure?

[vilf-lover]

it’d be cool to explore contra-elementals

bc currently i feel so stupid when anyone mentions them

[sunshineboy-greer-collins]

i want a character and a listener that are actual opposites (attracts) with their powers (and maybe a personality too?). i want an elemental and a contra elemental for that element

gimme a freaking fire elemental and contra fire elemental PLEASEEEEE

[fishrat4372]

Right?!

It’s so hard because it’s not exactly described as a “specific niche” like lightning benders in ATLA.

The way Xavier is described is as a stark opposite as classic fire elementals- the taking of energy rather than the production of it.

But when you think about it, that really doesn’t work for the others because the other elements aren’t forms of energy.

Though you could argue air as a kinetic form, the same goes for water and even earth.

So you’d have to gift each element a specific concept for which there can be a give and take or yin and yang.

Then again it’s also hard to do such a thing since the complete capabilities of each elemental isn’t exactly defined

But yeah that’s just how it works in my head, and I don’t really see how that could work in my own brain- so hopefully it ends up more simple than that.

yes but what do the other contra-elementals do

what do you mean “earth contra-elemental” what

[bigbrownboots]

so ever since the quizzes came out and we finally got confirmation on what the hell it is that all the other contra-elementals can do, i’ve been obsessed with the confirmation that.. Lasko is canonically super fucking powerful as a magic user, and specifically as an air elemental. here’s why: (possible tw: mention of asphyxiation as it occurs across the storyline and the Imperium briefly)

in the first video where contras are really brought up - Audio RP | Catching Up and Hanging Out With Your Himbo Friend [M4A] - Huxley uses fire elementals and fire-contras as his main example for how elementals and contras compare: he talks about how fire elementals are great at producing heat, but it takes far more effort for them to be able to take it in, and even when they do, they cannot take in much. that’s something that fire-contras are much better equipped to do, since that’s their specialty.

we already know that specialists will always be the most capable when it comes to performing their specific branch of magic, and for everyone else, that’s something they have to train and build to over time.

Lasko is an air elemental. air elementals are great at controlling air, and again, producing gusts, hurricanes, flurries of wind and such. it is specifically air-contras that specialise in taking large amounts of air in, and thus creating vacuums.

do you see where i’m going with this?

we know from what Lasko revealed about his past that, even completely untrained, he was able to completely take in all the air in a room - which he and his mother were standing in, so, presumably it was one of the main rooms in his childhood home, not just a tiny storage space or a cupboard under the stairs - Lasko managed to take out all the air in that entire room, creating a vacuum strong enough that his mother could not breathe in.

and we know that this wasn’t a one-time fluke due to his powers manifesting, because he’s still capable of performing this ability, seemingly without substancial effort. in his very first audio - Audio RP | Nervous Air Elemental Guidance Councillor Schedules Your Classes [M4A] - Lasko mentions that he “should’ve just negated all the air in the room to douse the flames” when Damien set his papers on fire, but this time decided not to, since he “can’t just suffocate him” (referring to Damien).

also, if we want to bring the Imperium storyline into this, (which i understand that technically, President Moore is a different character, but let’s say that theoretically they would be at similar power-levels - since the only way to improve your magic is by training it, and both characters started from the same parentally-established-magically-restrictive-humanborn place, and spent presumably the same amount of time at the academy) President Moore is able to take all of the air out of a room and create a vacuum able to asphyxiate a person even “through a wall,” “just as simply” (holy fuck). and, in addition to this, Vindemiator blatantly says “you’re strong, Lasko” as he’s pinning him. he has no reason to lie or to inflate (ha ha) Moore’s ego, in fact, Vindemiator is very open with how much he despises Moore, so i’m inclined to believe the powerful demon when he admits to Moore’s magical control.

but, even without considering the Imperium, i think it’s definitely something to think about. even just as an air elemental, Lasko is able to wield air-contra magic like it’s just a part of his natural skillset. Lasko Moore is a fucking powerful magic user.

- i would like to point out now that it’s entirely possible that Mr Redacted didn’t have everything fleshed out from the beginning, and that Lasko’s ability to take in air could have originally been just a part of air elementals’ capabilities, (and then with the inclusion of contras, things got divided and changed) but i think it’s fun to believe and theorise regardless.

in conclusion: holy fuck, Lasky

4, 19, 33 for the redacted ask game ^^

4: @cashandprizes and I's accidental lovechild Moonlit Chains is probably my go-to answer for favorite non-canon couple. It's nothing wild, a rarepair featuring Milo/Nirav (SH)/Maia (Darlin), but it's evolved so much that this is my mental default for all of them. I made my Darlin OC w/ Sam in mind but nope, that's Milo's mate now. I don't make the rules, I just enforce em' /lh

[Runner Up Answer: Just about every listener squared ship I've made too /pos]

19: There's so many characters I'd love to be friends with but near the top of the list, I'll say Asher, Damien (or the DAMN Crew as a whole, let's be real), and Guy.

33: A new character I'd like to see is probably a humanborn speaker. "PK we have Lasko—" But we didn't see the crux of his humanborn experience! FL is there but they're a listener, so I'd love to see it from a close-up speaker perspective. I'd pair them with an Energetic or Contra-Elemental, or really any magical race we haven't heard of as much from. If they're the same magical race, the humanborn speaker sought them out initially rather than going straight to DAMN (or a similar institution) after the speaker accidentally gets caught doing magic/exposing magic (thankfully in front of a fellow empowered person). Romantic subplot not necessarily required, a general developed closeness/bond formed would be great regardless of the form said bond takes.

[sunshineboy-greer-collins]

oh my- i love this hc so much pls let it be real loved it for a long time

but also imagine him throwing us actually for a loop and making them a latent contra fire elemental

erik’s gonna reveal that angel’s a latent fire elemental thinking he fooled us all, only for people to start screaming “I KNEW IT”

[taelonsamada]

Hello, i hope you're well.

I feel a little silly for asking this but can you please explain the moonbound and sunbound thing? And is there a specific video explaining this? Thank you

It’s not silly at all!!

All empowered people are bound to one of the Solstices, either the Summer or Winter solstice. On their designated solstice, their abilities surge in power. On their opposite solstice, their power drains away and they’re left sickened and weak and miserable. Both David and Damien & Hux havd audios where they deal with solstice sickness.

I’m not sure if there’s an official audio determining who’s under what, I found a list of who’s under what while I was in the official redacted discord back when Erik was still in it. I copied that list, so even after leaving the discord, I still have it for reference!

Said list is:

Sunbound:

* Fire Elemental

* Fire Contra-Elemental

* Air Elemental

* Air Contra-Elemental

* Electro Energetic

* Magneto Energetic

* Seer

* Psychokinetic

* Telepath

* Warders

Moonbound:

* Water Elemental

* Water Contra-Elemental

* Earth Elemental

* Earth Contra-Elemental

* Graviton Energetic

* Sonal Energetic

* Vampires

* Shifters

* Dreamwalker

* Stealth

* Illusory

1 AM Redacted Opinions while waiting for my Noodle Water to Boil

We need something like the E&E Games it was so fun imo

It would be nice if we got a character outside US (Afaik all characters currently are in US right?)

We need more focus on other types of elementals/energetics imo like a character that is a Contra-Elemental or an Energetic would be neat! (Ik Lovely exists but they became a vampire later on so we didnt really get to focus on theirs) They can either be a listener or a speaker it doesnt matter

[free-boundsoul]

[ask-mxfrost]

Hello, my name is Frost Jones. I work at DAMN, I teach an advanced contra fire elemental course. I’m 5’2, I use they/them pronouns. I’m biromantic demisexual and polyamorous- Oh! I’m 25- that’s all any, other questions?

[bigbrownboots]

Some possibilities in the Redacted-verse I haven’t stopped thinking about since they’ve been mentioned/brought up:

- an audio - or multiple!! - of the DAMN crew spending a day at the beach

- an explanation of contra elementals, and the other branches of magic (we have NOTHING on illusion, warding, or any other energetic magic other than the brief videos on electros for Lovely. PLEASE give us lore gremlins SOMETHING)

- an audio devoted specifically to aftercare (it’s Gavin or nothing for me because nothing else makes sense and I always need more of my beloved)

- lasko getting the whole DAMN crew into DnD with the whole group playing at least one session together

- meeting a nice sadism demon (bonus points if its freelancer meeting him because they need more positive associations)

(NSFW BELOW - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

- it’ll probably never happen since everyone is paired up now and there seems to be no more non-canon content but i still live for poly DAMN

- MORE SUBMISSIVE GAVIN i’m not talking about freelancer being on top of him. when you say role-reversal, i want you to MEAN IT!! i want this man to BEG (bottom gavin? in my dreams)

- speaking of, i need lasko to get pegged. give the good boy what he deserves.

- give me my lasko/gavin first meeting flashback PLEASE

thank you for coming (eyy) to my TEDtalk
