A Genus ("Jen-is") is a elemental Savant who is skilled in a particular element that he/she is gifted by the Ancients at birth. The Genus have studied these elements and the ways of the Ancients, learning and growing over the hundreds of years that they have existed. The Genus have come together over the years, creating what is known as the Genus Unity. This is an order that protects the universe from harm and tries to make things balanced.
