What should be the personality of a god of earth, water, air and fire?

Source: L5R 4E, on kami (elemental spirits).

>Air kami
Subtle and varied, these kami were playful and inquisitive. The air kami enjoyed a good mystery, and would not run from the chance to help solve one. When asked questions, these kami might answer by asking their own. Air kami were also distracted easily, and if they felt their wisdom wasn't being used, they won't hesitate to move on.

>Earth kami
Embodying the traits of strength and persistence, these kami are the most patient. Earth kami believe answers come with time, and often respond to questions with silence.

>Fire kami
Destruction and power were the keys to these kami. The fire kami's wisdom and insight could prove difficult if not immediately comprehended — made more difficult due to their tendency to speak quickly. Arrogant and egotistical, the power-hungry fire kami were short-lived.

>Water kami
The water kami found joy in transformation and change. Their emotions ebbed and flowed just as readily as the element they embodied. In contrast to their personality, they communicated with only stark memories of the past.

Completely autistic. The god of the elements spent ages before Being sculpting every tiny detail of the world, pouring sand on the beaches and sculpting the continents before he let Life near it.

Raw and ancient and difficult to comprehend.

As a single aspect, the god is like other gods, embodying parts of the people who worship it and the things that shape it. As water it is cool and soothing, slow to anger but quick to rage. As air it is inconstant and fleeting, but ever present. As fire it is potent and infectious, but overeager to the point of danger. And as earth it is stubborn and strong, a font of life and an impenetrable bulwark in one.

However, as all of these things it is alien to the mortal mind. It is no longer a god that can be understood, merely felt. The Fourfold God simply IS, it's presence no longer a matter of worship or prayer or thought. It is the ground beneath your feet, the wind in your ears, the water on your tongue and the fire in your heart. It's voice is not heard, but felt. It's passing is effortless, for it is the world and the world cannot impede it. Its actions are arcane, its motivations seemingly impenetrable, and its power apparent beyond belief.

It is a rare thing, that the four gods become Fourfold, but when they do, it is a moment for historians to remember in all corners of the world.

Air, Earth and Water and vast and ponderous, Air is capricious YHWH of lightning, sun and wind but also agricultural fertility, Earth is a two-sided god of all-encompassing fertility in reproduction and ambition in its good-natured aspect but rampant carnivorous life in its wrathful aspect, Water is a cryptic being of dreams, the thin strand between life and death and shares fertility in hunting.

Fire is the strange god. Fire is change and movement. It shares many aspects with other gods - it is a giver if life but also bringer of death, its ashes can fertilize fields, it can assist in creation and destruction, fire always changes. The air, waters and land are slow to change, the gust of air or swift river which gnaw at rock for millions of years are nothing compared to the flames which consume entire forests in mere hours, which scorch and melt rock in the depths of the earth, which evaporate the waters they touch.

If you had to pick between 0 and 100 what level would they take pollution to?

The God of the Four Elements is paradox, balance embodied. For what else would be heat and cold, changing and unchanging? So well mixed are the four elements that it must appear sterile, immovable. Yet when one aspect threatens to overtake another the being is thrown into Chaos, struggling to maintain itself as its constituents battle for supremacy. Thus is the god inviolate and volatile, a balanced being, yet woe betide any who disturb the balance

Stoic, bi-polar, air-headed, and adaptable.
Trash god.

I don't kow if there's anything similar for classical Western elements, but Chinese have stuff about elemental cycles, about how elements give birth to each other or overcome each other. Do something with thatin terms of personality. IIRC Chinese also associated different elements with different seasons, so a god whose mood varies with seasons might also make sense. He shouldn't be bipolar or have split personality, though. He could have mood swings, but they should make some kind of sense and be about one emotion naturally and logivally leading to another rather. The god could seem like a different person to a mortal who meets him in two different occasions, but for someone who knows him better and for a longer time, there should be some kind of a logic and consistency to him.

Fire really lights up the party, air has an atmosphere to him, earth is always very grounded and water get's all steamy under intense pressure

Well, what would the manifestation look like? Where do we see the four base elements combined? Earth and Fire combined would be a volcano, which when shooting its load into the air adds air. And when a volcano erupts there's quite a bit of water released as well, and the friction from all the dust creates static discharges. This is what's known as a dirty thunderstorm.

So what would a god of all four elements look like? He'd look FUCKING METAL.

Well, it's a passionate god. His default state is calmness. He is lazy, inert and sleepy. But should people do something to anger him, his vile self awakens and he becomes a furious destroyer unleashing all elements on those who offended him, until he deals with the problem or is somehow appeased. Whenever hard times happen, however, he is eager to help people and make their life better. Whenever he is too happy for a too long time, he gets bored however. And when he is bored, he loves playing pranks, sometimes really cruel, on mortals.
