Writer Nonnie and one more yo: Shiro gets Alien X, Keith gets Hunan Torch, Hunk is... IDK The Thing(Fantastic 4), Pidge is either Poison Ivy Lite or Groot, Lance can be that Chaos blob thing from Sonic(even though it's "concentrated energy" and not water despite it's appearance). OH! And Allura's can be like the Anodites(also from Ben 10)! Maybe change the color but besides that one line about "pink is the color of the fallen" or whatever pffft IDK. Ah, or did you already have ideas?
I was thinking a bit more along the lines of Naruto’s True Kyubi form—all glowy and badass, but they’re still themselves; and a bit more “barely contained inner power”.
So, having Hunk glow like he has a magma core and a touch of stoneskin over his human skin (because Earth as a substance moreso than the philosophical element is essentially a Terrestrial Planet. So both the “classic terrakinesis” and bending actual magma along with super strength.)
While Keith is the pure chaos of a flame in all its colors, but mostly the carbon-orange. (Heh. Keith with blue and white flames. Or occationally violet and green. But the varried flames and focused or spread flames would definitely require...well...Patience Yields Focus.) (Oh...and everchanging flametongue patterns on his skin. And if Shiro gets wings, then Keith has a tongue of flame streaking after him like a cloak or comet tail. Especially when in speedster mode.)
Pidge...would be nuts. Barkskin that’s similar to Hunk’s stoneskin, an insane healfactor, and even the “nice” plants wage chemical warfare. So...a toxin queen with both close contact, sap covered weapons, and airborn particulates. And you know how leaves glow that almost golden-green when the sun shines through a canopy? Yep, that’s her glowup. (Less controling plants, and more she IS the plant.)
Lance’s glowy eyes are that blinding clear when the sun hits water or ice just right, and ever-changing wavelike patterns on his skin glowing that same light, only a bit more subsued. And of course, hydrokinesis with liquid water, ice, and water vapor. (He can make an iceskin, but it takes him a bit to get it to not melt or shatter almost immediately. But once he gets it...freezeburn on contact. “I’m so hot that I’m cool!” [everybody groans])
Anodite does sound pretty perfect for Allura, both from an alchemic sense, and leaning into her LionGoddess status (and being the White Paladin of Light (albeit thematically dawn-pink)). But, probably not quite so featureless, her hair just does that cool waving-in-water thing, and probably sprouts wings of pure light in addition to her alchemy and making alchemic constructs. And of course her eyes, marks, and hair all glow...naturally xD
