Genasi

[work in progress]

Overview

The genasi as a race are very young. They have elemental ancestry, resulting in their striking appearances and certain physical properties which, aside from making them easy to spot in a crowd, offer them various strengths and weaknesses. These depend entirely on the type of genasi, of which there are four main types, each corresponding to a classical element. Though para-elemental genasi exist, they are far less common; and genasi who can hold two different elimental manifestations are rarer still.

Origins

Genasi are planetouched humanoids, as a result of crosbreeding powerful elementals such as genies with humans. However, although they do resemble humans in many ways they are clearly outsiders amongst them; likewise, genies had a tendency to view them with disdain as comparitively powerless half breeds. The result of this was genasi forming their own societies, even towns and cities in some cases.
