[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6379197, member: 7635"] Genasi Genasi are an inherent contradiction. Each genasi embodies the potential chaos of air and fire, the order of earth and water, or the ferocity of thunder and lightning. Genasi manifest one of these facets of their elemental soul at all times. Their race is passionate and nearly as diverse as humans. Genasi can be found almost anywhere. Elemental Paragons Every genasi constantly manifests an element. (Genasi have no neutral, nonelemental state.) All genasi are born with an elemental manifestation, a genetic trait that is handed down from his or her parents. Genasi are of roughly the same size and proportions as humans, though they tend toward broader physiques that are evidence of their physical strength. A genasi’s body is etched with energy lines that glow in a color associated with the element that the genasi is manifesting. The energy lines on a genasi’s body appear in a pattern that is common between members of the same family and sometimes between natives of the same area. The specific configuration of energy lines on each genasi’s face and head is distinctive, varying between individuals the way fingerprints differ between humans. To show off the energy lines etching his or her body, a genasi often wears clothes that leave at least some portion of his or her body uncovered. Genasi skin tones and “hair” also vary depending on which element an individual has. Genasi don’t have actual hair—the substance that appears to cover their heads during different manifestations is a magical expression of their elemental nature. Pride and Change Generalities about a genasi’s elemental manifestation are sometimes contradicted by the race’s varied nature. In most regions where genasi live, the dominant manifestation is the one most closely associated with the region’s environment. The most extreme example of this truism occurs in underwater communities, where it’s essentially impossible for a genasi to survive without the watersoul manifestration. Ambition and pride have strongly influenced genasi culture. Genasi are constantly aspiring to improve their station. Their societies bubble with a constant pressure for recognition of true strength and competence. In consequence, genasi social structures are nowhere near as stable as those created by other races. Genasi have no longstanding animosity toward any other races. Neither can they be said to be sure friends of any other race—not even their own.
