Symbolism - Part 1

Hello all. I apologise for only being able to put out the weekly Legacy of O.U.T.L.A.W.S. posts but, as I've said, I've been very busy with my own, already expansive (and terribly unorganised), chronicles. Anyways, one of the main things that I've introduced but haven't really explained have been the symbols of the Elemental Universe. In fact, some of you (I'd hope most of you) would, probably, have spotted my own symbol. And then, of course, you've got the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. symbol among others. And, so, I have decided to do a series of posts detailing the main symbols of the Elemental Universe (which will be updated as more show up in other posts/if I find one that really interests me). This will include a brief history, who's symbol it is and, of course, the symbol itself. And, I think that the first symbol I'll look into is my own:

The Legacy of O.U.T.L.A.W.S.: No. 3 The Briefing

The shadow moved further into the room, stepping into the light. The artificial light reflected off of the creature's two horns and four eyes before revealing his crimson skin. The oni (for that was what the creature was) stood at close to three meters and was highly muscled with scars covering the majority of his arms and torso.

The Legacy of O.U.T.L.A.W.S.: No. 2 The Team

Fam and Gedrick walked through a tall glass door into a huge entrance hall full of Elementals of varying size and depiction. The ceiling was high, so as to easily fit even the largest of Elementals (ogres, trolls and the like) and the walls were far apart so that the whole hall gave the impression of power and supremacy. As well as the glass door that Fam and Gedrick had just entered through, there were dozens of alcoves along the top of the left and right walls. These alcoves were entrances to the hall and had an almost continuous flow of Air Elementals (either messengers or agents) entering the building. On the other side of the hall was a desk that ran about half the length of the wall. The desk was covered in various screens and computers, each handled by a different Elemental. Behind the desk was a massive map depicting the Element Island in impressive detail. On either side of the desk was another door that led to a series of corridors and other rooms. In the middle of the floor was the symbol of the O.U.T.L.A.W.S.: a circle with a question mark and the acronym on it (as well the Elemental's ten pointed star). As the pair walked past it they noticed the ever-present colours of the Elements reflecting off of the polished surface of the floor.
