Earth Genasi
As with all Genasi, the Earth Genasi are descended from a union between a mortal and a genie of the Elemental Planes. In the case of the Earth Genasi, they are descended from the cruel and greedy Dao, of the Elemental Plane of Earth. Though their Dao forbears may be almost universally of reprehensible character, this does not damn their Genasi offspring to the same fate, however.
Earth Genasi, by and large, tend to avoid rash decisions, pausing long enough to consider their options before taking action. Most have inherited some measure of control over the earth, and are blessed with strength beyond that of regular humans, or indeed Genasi of other varieties.
Visually, the Earth Elemental genetics manifest 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, while otherwise retaining a look closer to that of their mortal parent. Others are as shiny and polished as gemstones, with eyes, hair and skin in deep earth tones. Earth genasi can also have smooth metallic flesh, dull iron skin spotted with rust, a pebbled and rough hide, or even a body-wide pattern of embedded crystals. The most visually distinctive have fissures in their flesh, from which faint light shines.
Basic Information
Growth Rate & Stages
Like all Genasi, Earth Genasi mature at about the same rate as humans and reach adulthood in their late teens. They live somewhat longer than humans do, up to 120 years.
