Also wanted to add that if you want to incorporate Hindu, Buddhist, or other non-Chinese or religious elements into your characters or the roleplay's philosophical systems, that is doable, since lots of things were adopted or carried over between India, China, Japan, Korea, Buddhism, Taoism, and so on. I'm not going to be very choosy about where your characters gets his or her powers from, so long as they're loosely related to and connected with the five elements. :)
