Genasi are plane-touched humans. They are of similar height and weight to humans but can look very different. Depending on which side of the family they take after, they can pass as humans or have a distinct nature element showing their heritage.
Their bodies are etched with energy lines of elemental nature, an element they were manifesting – earth, fire, storm, water, and wind. Most try to keep them visible, proud of their heritage, as they judge the ones who decide to hide it.
Genasi are fairly ambitious and some even go as far as never giving up, no matter the odds. They are resistant to the element tied to their nature, and many are known to control such elements. Those more potent manage to control more than one.
Genasi Last Names
All Genasi are passionate and care deeply for family and friends. Their bonds are strong. Most families are large, where socializing is highly encouraged. Any other Genasi they meet are soon considered relatives, cousins, or even brothers and sisters. Since they all feel like one big family, having a last name makes no sense.
They can, just like other races, earn a nickname or two, though that depends on where they grew up. They introduce themselves with a name only, while having a healthy dose of interest towards other race’s surnames. However, if a certain Genasi lived away from a Genasi society, it’s not strange to see them use a last name.
Female & Male Genasi Names
Both genders do their part equally. Whether it’s a family problem, a social one, or even a more physical one, females are very much equal, if not better, at solving them.
From strong fighters to clever elemental mages, they can adapt fairly quickly using their wits and charms. If those fail, they are powerful enough if a fight breaks loose.
