1a. Well, a basic set of rules are in the first post; but a crash course in this is basically 'Chaos Hunters are bad but believe they're good', 'Chosen Ones are widely stated to actually be bad, as of now', along with some other things I can't think of at this moment.
1b. Well I named pretty much all the elements that
did have users in the RPG(Though now with one less air user, and one more Earth user, since Skye had her Element changed. =P), and given that I'm pretty much basing my element list on the Bionicle list, sans Psionics...(Though I forgot shadow in that list, but those are limited as well, so...)
1c. Well... a six month time skip(Transition from Chapter 3 to Chapter 4) will happen hopefully by page 400, and there are at least 6 more high ranking officers in the Chaos Hunters known as 'Chaos Guardians'. Those hold the Quest Item of sorts; known as the 'Chaos Code'.
Funny thing is, while Chapter 4 will likely be the shortest chapter in the story; I fully expect it to surpass every single chapter before it in number of pages. We do that much side-story stuff. =P
2. That's true. =P It does make me realize that I need to give some of those elements to my newer characters; even if half the Chaos Guardians have the more uncommon elements.(Like stuff that'd be considered powers in Bionicle... Just to hint.

)
