[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8196839, member: 779"] My initial writeup of the Genasi, where I also try to address the Ruvkova of Dark Sun (and the Planescape MCIII) and the Janni. [SIZE=5][B]Genasi[/B][/SIZE] The trace their lineage to the various inner planes, mostly the planes of Air, Earth, Fire and Water, with some that might come the Energy Planes, Elemental Chaos, Para and Quasi-elemental planes. Genies are often linked to the Genasi which is thought to be where their name comes from, but the shifting elemental spirits and energies of the Inner planes often have an influence in the origins of a Genasi. The Genasi are sometimes more alien socially and in their outlook compared to the Planetouched of other lineages. The elemental influence on a Genasi is often more biological, compared to that of Fiends or Celestials. The elemental influence on a Genasi might cause them to show certain personality traits. Those influenced by Air tend to be flighty or astute, Earth influences a Genasi to be ponderous or deliberate, Fire makes one passionate and hot-headed and Water might influence one to be arrogant or cold-hearted. In more cosmopolitian planar societies Air Genasi are sometimes are known as Wind Dukes, Earth as Stone Princes, Fire as Flame Lords and Water as Sea Kings. Genasi as such tend to associate in clans: sometimes of similar elements, and sometimes of varied groups of any of the elements in their ancestries. In some cases groups of these Genasi of varied elements have been known to bring together Planetouched of all sorts of backgrounds, such as getting Aasimar and Tieflings to work together. The Genasi clans known as the Ruvkova tend to prefer a single type element often roaming the planes in parts where this element is of significance. The most well known clans are the Brajeti and Zathosi of Earth, Ethilum of Air, Kaltori of Fire, Ramoka of Steam and Sartarin of Ash. The Ruvkova clans who see themselves as the caretakers of their chosen element, are thought to be originally from Druids who were gifted with their transformation into Genasi by the Genie Lords. Other Genasi are known to be nomadic traveling between the different elements, often getting themselves involved in the various politics of the Genies. These Genasi are known as the Janni, often being mistaken as being pure Genies themselves, the Janni are often a part of Genie societies being one of its lower caste. Some of the Janni are content to live under the rule of Genie overlords as some are benevolent or at least uncaring, but as many of the Genie overlords are tyrants many of the Janni clans despise living their yoke always seeking to move across the planes. The Janni know of a ritual called the Passage of the Elemental Traveler that allows one to change their elemental nature when crossing planes. [/QUOTE]
