Genasi

Genasi is the term used to refer to the collection of Humanoids descended from Elemental creatures, such as Genies, Mephits... And Elementals, come the fuck on. They can manifest any combination of elemental traits from their ancestry, such as Lightning Genasi bearing traits of Jyoti(Positive Energy Genasi), Air Genasi(Alternatively, Sylphs), and Fire Genasi(Ifrit) together.

Genasi, collectively, are uncommon... Everywhere. Now, specific genasi are incredibly common in specific places; Earth Genasi(Oreads) are everywhere in the underdark, Undine(Water) are all over the place in the many underwater cities around Nexus... Oh, and all of them are common as shit on their own plane of existence. But very, very few places are hotbed for all genasi.

Genasi do tend towards humanoid forms, unlike some Aasimar, Elves, and Tieflings, due to the fact that Elementals don't often possess stable forms capable of mating with humanoids(Thus, those that do tend to be shapeshifted or semi-humanoid, leading to a humanoid genasi)
