Genasi

Genasi are planetouched humans, infused with the power of the elements. Along with aasimar and tieflings, genasi are the most common planetouched found on the world of The Lost Lands.
Technically speaking, the genasi are not a race but rather a general classification of humans who had a heritage (usually unknown) that included some planar being from one of the elemental planes, most often a genie(dao, djinn, efreet, marid, or jann) which is whence their name is derived. Other times Genasi would be born of parents found in areas strongl aligned to a particular element. Each of the four fundamental elements had associated genasi, so the most common genasi are air genasi, earth genasi, fire genasi, and water genasi, but void genasi can be found in certain realms.
No two genasi are alike in appearance. Some could pass as normal humans, bearing the marks of their human ethnicity; for others, their elemental nature was impossible to hide. Their heritage was nearly always evident in one or two physical traits, such as skin or hair color or an elemental aura. Some genasi did not have hair at all; for such genasi, the substance that appeared to cover their heads was actually a supernatural expression of their elemental nature.
All genasi had inherent magical powers and resistances related to their element. Unlike many planetouched races, genasi generally took pride in their unusual features. Furthermore, because of their elemental power, most genasi felt a sense of superiority over other races and even over other genasi—including those of the same element. The personality of the typical genasi reflected her or his core element. For example, a fire genasi might have a "hot temper" and an earth genasi might take life slowly and carefully.
Genasi are fairly rare and in some areas not found in all. They could only reproduce with humans or half-humans, having a small chance of producing another Genasi of the same type, but most commonly having a full human.

Names

Genasi are commonly named after their human heritage, but sometimes would take names akin to their element such as Cinder, Wave, Slate or Tempest.

Air Genasi

As an air genasi, you are descended from the djinn. As changeable as the weather, your moods shift from calm to wild and violent with little warning, but these storms rarely last long.

Earth Genasi

As an earth genasi, you are descended from the cruel and greedy dao, though you aren’t necessarily evil. You have inherited some measure of control over earth, reveling in superior strength and solid power. You tend to avoid rash decisions, pausing long enough to consider your options before taking action.
Elemental earth manifests differently from one individual to the next. Some earth genasi always have bits of dust falling from their bodies and mud clinging to their clothes, never getting clean no matter how often they bathe. Others are as shiny and polished as gemstones, with skin tones of deep brown or black, eyes sparkling like agates. Earth genasi can also have smooth metallic flesh, dull iron skin spotted with rust, a pebbled and rough hide, or even a coating of tiny embedded crystals. The most arresting have fissures in their flesh, from which faint light shines

Fire Genasi

As a fire genasi, you have inherited the volatile mood and keen mind of the efreet. You tend toward impatience and making snap judgments. Rather than hide your distinctive appearance, you exult in it.
Nearly all fire genasi are feverishly hot as if burning inside, an impression reinforced by flaming red, coal- black, or ash-gray skin tones. The more human-looking have fiery red hair that writhes under extreme emotion, while more exotic specimens sport actual flames dancing on their heads. Fire genasi voices might sound like crackling flames, and their eyes flare when angered. Some are accompanied by the faint scent of brimstone.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Ignan (a dialect of Primordial)

Water Genasi

The lapping of waves, the spray of sea foam on the wind, the ocean depths—all of these things call to your heart. You wander freely and take pride in your independence, though others might consider you selfish.
Most water genasi look as if they just finished bathing, with beads of moisture collecting on their skin and hair. They smell of fresh rain and clean water. Blue or green skin is common, and most have somewhat overlarge eyes, blue-black in color. A water genasi’s hair might float freely, swaying and waving as if underwater. Some have voices with undertones reminiscent of whale song or trickling streams.

Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Void Genasi

Many theorize how void genasi came to be, but many guess they are a corrupted form of air elementals, or perhaps the results of certain kinds of magical experiments of rituals. The void genasi are generally humanoid, but have an eldritch, otherworldly aspect about them, such as out of place aberrations that frequently appear on their body, extra appendages, limbs, eyes, wispy smoke or cloud like hair, skin that's ice cold to touch or palettes that shift from dark blues and purples to shimmering starry textures, giving them a look of as if the night sky was condensed into the form of a person.
