I love the origin. I'm gonna have to trust you on how the Mystic stuff works. I haven't looked at it since the week it came out. Pyrus looks very interesting, though.

Psionic Talents (like cantrips):
Blind Spot: As an Action, you erase your image from the mind of one creature you can see within 120 feet. Target makes wisdom saving throw (DC 11), and if fails, you are invisible to him until end of your next turn
Delusion: Basically, Minor Illusion, but only effects one person.
Disciplines (can spend max 3 points on any one discipline at a time):
Mastery of Air
Wu Jen Discipline
You become one with the power of elemental air. Psychic Focus. While focused on this
discipline, you take no falling damage, and you ignore difficult terrain when walking.
Wind Step (1–7 psi). As part of your move on your turn, you can fly up to 20 feet for each psi point spent. If you end this flight in the air, you fall unless something else holds you aloft.
Wind Stream (1–7 psi). As an action, you create a line of focused air that is 30 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a Strength saving throw, taking 1d8
bludgeoning damage per psi point spent and being knocked prone on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Cloak of Air (3 psi; conc., 10 min.). As a bonus action, you seize control of the air around you to create a protective veil. Until your concentration ends, attack rolls against you have disadvantage, and when a creature you can see misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to force the creature to repeat the attack roll against itself.
Nomadic Step
Nomad Discipline
You exert your mind on the area around you, twisting the intraplanar pathways you perceive to allow instantaneous travel.
Psychic Focus. After you teleport on your turn while focused on this discipline, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the turn, as you are propelled by the magic of your teleportation. You can receive this increase only once per turn.
Step of a Dozen Paces (1–7 psi). If you haven’t moved yet on your turn, you take a bonus action to teleport up to 20 feet per psi point spent to an unoccupied space you can see, and your speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the turn.
Nomadic Anchor (1 psi). As an action, you create an invisible, intangible teleportation anchor in a 5-foot cube you can see within 120 feet of you. For the next 8 hours, whenever you use this psionic discipline to teleport, you can instead teleport to the anchor, even if you can’t see it, but it must be within range of the teleportation ability.
Defensive Step (2 psi). When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to gain a +4 bonus to AC against that attack, possibly turning it into a miss. You then teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.
There and Back Again (2 psi). As a bonus action, you teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see and then move up to half your speed. At the end of your turn, you can teleport back to the spot you occupied before teleporting, unless it is now occupied or on a different plane of existence.
Transposition (3 psi). If you haven’t moved yet on your turn, choose an ally you can see within 60 feet of you. As a bonus action, you and that creature teleport, swapping places, and your speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the turn. This ability fails and is wasted if either of you can’t fit in the destination space.

I've been studying the Mystic since it came out, so I'm pretty familiar. It's about as versitile as a wizard is, but the "Spells" are more themed than the wizard. Where the wizard can cherry pick his spells, the Mystic has to pick a Discipline, which grants themed 'spells'. So, less versitile than a wizard, but just as many spells or so.

Yeah. I like the flavour of these characters, in particular when combined with the Genasi. I'm a sucker for "first generation" fluff on the stranger races, as well, so I lije the idea that your characters are Genasi by design, rather than by birth.
I have done this sort of thing with everything from dragonborn to half-elves (making them humans who were fey-touched), and that sort if thing.
I dig it.

One more.
What's funny is just how different each of these will play. Pyrus is a caster, plain and simple, he wants to blow things up and hurt people. Auria teleports around, slashing from behind, and gets up close and personal. Aquaria is a dancer, who inspires her allies and psychically assaults her foes, but does everything from well away from the front line, and I'm about to find out what Terrus will be as an Immortal. I'm excited.

Brute Strike (1–7 psi). As a bonus action, you gain a bonus to your next damage roll against a target you hit with a melee attack during the current turn. The bonus equals +1d6 per psi point spent, and the bonus damage is the same type as the attack. If the attack has more than one damage type, you choose which one to use for the bonus damage.

And Terrus is a tank. Like, big time. He doesn't need to eat, sleep or breathe (as long as he's focused on Adaptive Body), can increase his strength at will, can alter his body to take on animal aspects granting the ultimate utility and can turn his skin to metal to increase his AC. Pretty beast.
Oh, and has a similar thing to Barbarians unarmored defense, dex+con, which is great with Genasi. So, he's an Earth Genasi who walks around without a shirt, with big burly shoulders and a greatsword on his back (had to use my feat to get that, but it worked out.)
So there's my four. A Caster, a sneaky teleporting slasher, a back of the line support and an in your face tank. Pretty good party by themselves, actually. Actually, I'm going to trade out one of Aquaria's disciplines for Pionic Restoration. That way there's some healing there.

Neat. I find it funny that a heavy rock guy can fly (though not until higher level) but I suppose you could fluff it more like a Hulk-leap or some kind of psychic stone-launcher (rather than really "wings from your back").
