#### **Appearance**

Born of elemental power, the **genasi** are humanoids with distinct features. The genasi are divided into four subraces, one for each element of air, earth, fire, and water. From afar, the genasi can be confused for a human, but the heritage is apparent once up close. Each subrace of genasi has its own skin color, blue to gray for air, green to brown for earth, red to black for fire, and steel blue to turquoise for water. Their stature also differs, where earth and water tend to be heavier and taller, and fire and air members tend to be shorter and lighter.

#### **Lore**

##### **Individualistic to a Fault**

Like many other humanoid Enna, the genasi was a reactionary creation in response to the human. The primary elemental gods of air, earth, fire, and water (Aemun, Ghebsis, Hedjet, and Tefei), the creators of the elementals, were the parents of the Genasi. Surprisingly, the elemental Enna not only wanted to infuse their creation with potent elemental energy but also as much independence as possible. All other Enneade went the other direction, wanting their Enna to be as loyal as possible. Aemun, Ghebsis, Hedjet, and Tefei had different opinions. They were important voices for protecting the human race when the human capacity of freedom of devotion came into question. These Enneade did not find the trait to be problematic. However, the elemental Enneade couldn’t recreate the human trait of freedom of devotion as such was beyond the scope of their combined powers, but they certainly tried.

The result was an Enna race that still couldn’t choose another Enneade to devote themselves to or none. The genasi were still bound to their creator. However, their choices and personality are almost unaffected by their Enneade. The genasi turned out to be remarkably individualistic and self-reliant. Consequently, the genasi traveled all over the World, finding their paths and purpose. The genasi never formed a coherent community of their own. Instead, they joined whichever community, organization, or ideology they pleased. Even if the elemental Enneade was proud of their creation, as they value freedom, individuality, and strength of character, the genasi did become troublesome for them as most didn’t come to their aid during the War of Collapse, most not seeing the fight as their own. Likewise, almost no genasi returned to take sides when the elemental conflict between air and earth started. Therefore the genasi does not share the bitterness from the elemental conflict between air and earth as many other elemental Enna do.

##### **Self-Assured**

For the benefit of their individualistic nature, the genasi certainly does not lack self-confidence. But it manifests individually. It could be everything from quiet determination to boastful arrogance. Genasi are weak to risk, often believing themselves able to face any challenge. However, the genasi aren’t fools. They are always searching for opportunities to improve themselves to live up to their self-expectations.

Another consequence of their nature is the unfortunately common occurrence of neglect of their offspring. Many genasi want to have children, but once they are born, the parents want them to become self-sufficient. Besides, they don’t want to be tied by their offspring for too long. This can make genasi children hungry for attention, appreciation, and devotion.

Genasi can be found everywhere, from the most common of places to the most unlikely. Yet, because they are so spread out and forming families is not as common as it is for many other humanoid races, the genasi has become a bit of a rarity.

##### *Air Genasi*

Air genasi are prone to quick changes in their emotional state, but anger and other negative emotions do not tend to stay long. They are often very tolerant, curious, and light-hearted.

##### *Earth Genasi*

Earth genasi tend to possess a practical and calm mindset. They are often hardworking, patient, and diligent.

##### *Fire Genasi*

Fire genasi, on the other hand, are commonly impulsive and decisive. They are often passionate, stubborn, and warm-hearted.

##### Water Genasi

The water genasi usually possess empathetic and progressive minds. They are often adaptable, sensitive, and serene. However, if you somehow manage to anger a water genasi, their hatred of you will be bottomless and pitch black.
