Dust Genasi originate from ancient magic filled deserts, from bloodlines influenced by powerful desert elemental beings, or rarely as the result of Air and Earth Genasi parents. Their skin can be the colors of sand and the lighter tones of earth. If they have human skin tones, of which they lean towards darker tones, they often always give off bits of sand and dust when they make large movements, have patterns on their skin that resemble dunes, or have a natural texture like desert sand. Dust Genasi hair can resemble clouds of dust or sandstorms, be smooth and windswept like dunes, or layered with large waves with sand and dust perpetually shaking out of it.
Their elemental makeup makes them somewhat averse to water, although they suffer no direct harm from it.
