[QUOTE="DreadPirateMurphy, post: 4769945, member: 20715"] [B]Touched by an Angel[/B] The Primordial Chaos touches the world in many places. Humans caught in the most violent of elemental events are sometimes changed in subtle ways. Sometimes the eyes or hair change color. Sometimes the skin becomes rough and hard or translucent in small patches. In general, these changes rarely have any practical effect…until child is born of a union of two so touched. Genasi are the offspring of such unions. Unlike the abandoned, devas and tieflings, they are active, if unwitting, agents of an external force. Apart from obvious physical manifestations of an elemental nature, the environment around genasi is more prone to odd and unusual events. For this reason, they tend to be loners. An entire town of genasi would be beset by wildly variable weather, random structural failings in buildings, bizarre swings of chance, and weird coincidences. Most gambling establishments have a standard policy to bar entry. Some genasi attempt to get around these limitations through devout worship of gods of law. Their faith can offset the influence of chaos, and so many genasi tend toward the lawful good end of the alignment spectrum. Others go in the opposite direction. The most active agents of chaos are also the most likely to profit from it. Chaotic evil genasi are a stock villain in the tales told by bards. Unaligned genasi tend to be oblivious to the impact of chaos on their lives. After all, if weird things [I]always [/I]happened to you, you probably wouldn’t think they were unusual. [/QUOTE]
