Abilities part 3: Opposites

There are █, 8 different abilities in my Numbered series, as well 0s, or, individuals with no abilities. Some abilities work as counters, or opposites to other abilities. Here are the "Opposites".

1s and 5s:
1s and 5s are opposites in many different aspects. The most glaringly obvious aspect is their respective roles in society. 1s, as you probably already know, are considered the lowest rank in society without being a 0 and barely manage to keep a house. 1s are also the most common ability out there.

In comparison, 5s are towards the top of society. Not only are they considered major nobility and constantly have connections with other nobility and even royalty. They can even marry/be born into royal families. 5s, unlike 1s, never have to worry about financial troubles.

Now, they are also opposites when it comes to their actual abilities. 1s have the ability to control the air and wind, as you probably already know which is why 1s tend to like "flying", hiking and being high up, meanwhile 5s have an ability based on plants, fungi, and materials that make up the Earth. Due to this, 5s tend to prefer to be on the ground where they can feel connected to the Earth and the plants around them and most are terrified of heights. 5s are also easily able to survive in nature as well as being able to tell/have knowledge on which plants and fungi are poisonous and which are edible.

2s and 4s:
2s are the highest of the "poor" Ranks, meanwhile 4s are the bottom of the "nobility" Ranks. As you can already guess, water and fire are complete opposites and this also reflects in their personalities. 2s are usually seen as calm and collected, however when they get mad, they have an explosive temper that comes quickly and can often leave destruction in their wake, similar to a flash flood.

On the completely opposite spectrum, 4s can often seem quick to anger and be very passionate about their beliefs, however, they also have a softer side hidden underneath, similar to how fires can also provide warmth and make room for new life.

7s and 8s:
7s and 8s are like day and night. 7s can kill someone with a look and, if they are strong enough they can even raise and control the dead (keep in mind that the dead are still dead), meanwhile, excluding seeing into the past and future, 8s can heal others and even themselves (if strong enough) as well as bring dead people back to life if they have the majority of the body near them and if they are strong enough (unlike 7s, those they bring back actually are revived with their original personality instead of 7s who only control the mindless husk of dead bodies).

6s and █:
6s and █ have many differences including ████████████ and ███████. 6s strength mainly comes from their mental abilities meanwhile, █, strength comes from █████████████ and ████████.

3s and 0s:
3s and 0s are the only Ranks who don't have an opposite, and as such, they have been grouped together.
