The Element Chronicles

The Element Chronicles is one of the more customized video games of all time, with that customization applied to a heroic and adventurous setting. The basic plot of the game is a world divinely governed by two deities, a male and a female, whose children represent all of the thinkable elements. It is predictably a mixture of sons and daughters, and at one point the god out of the two ruling deities say that the children are not properly worshipped in the lands dedicated to them. The goddess says that this world they govern should not be driven by worship, and that they should leave the inhabitants to do what they desire. The god believes that people should show great respect to their elders, and thinks that creatures should be sent down to restore order to the kingdoms, as they already employ elemental magic, but do not show the proper acknowledgement of the gods and goddesses. They break into a fight, at the end of which the god summons his sons and the goddess summons her daughters. The god and his sons send horrid creatures based on the respective elements into the kingdoms while the goddess and her daughters send equally horrid creatures to try to repel them. Ouright battle is about to begin.

However, there is one person who remains a symbol of hope. This is where the customization comes in: the main character can be gender specific, and the appearance and weapons can be shaped to suit the player, but the player always has two magic gauntlets, each of a different selectable element.
