Hiya mods! Hopefully I can keep this as brief as I want it to be, but if not, I am so sorry.

Re: characters that don't canonly have powers. I was wondering how canon faction-based "alignments" are handled.

In my case (and maybe other potential Dynasty Warriors castmates??), Yuanji is affiliated with the Wei and (later) Jin kingdoms, where both have an elemental affiliation of sorts with ice. Now, despite some spinoffs having a more magicky feel and what not, Dynasty Warriors itself is pretty normal despite typical video game crazy, so the ice affiliation is more based off of combo strings and what musou (basically the game's unique/limit break skill) is used. Though sometimes it also depends on what the currently equipped weapon's element affinity is, though I default to kingdom-based instead when it comes to playing from the series.

Now that rambling is out of the way: Would this be considered as being a canon power, or just left up to the player to decide if they wish to make it such and/or incorporate it in some way for the game setting?
