Troubadour
My universe has a kind of elemental magic with seven elements instead of the classic four (Wind, Fire, Metal, Earth, Wood, Water, Lightning). Each of these elements are governed by a god, which in turn, is governed by the two Titans, creators of the universe.
After mortals came to be, seven immortals were created by the gods to carry out their will on the world. These immortals eventually had descendants with mortals, these descendants and their descendants are called Elementals.
Elementals are characterized because they have an innate capacity to control their respective elements (unlike common mortals, who have to learn how to do this), instead of common blood, a form of their element flow trough their veins (fire elementals have a kind of liquid fire instead of blood, metal elementals have something similar to mercury, etc), and they can become one with their element if they wish. This last ability presents a great power, but a great disadvantage, as they also acquire their element's weaknesses (i.e. fire can be put out with water)
