Description

Physical Appearance
While genasi maintain elements of their base race in appearance, they also features which make clear their elemental heritage. Skin and hair color and texture are the traits most often altered by elemental heritage.

Their skin is often shades of blue or green, sometimes a blend of the two. If they have a human skin tone, there is a glistening texture that catches the light, like water droplets or nearly invisible fish scales. Their hair can resemble seaweed, waving as if in a current, or it can even be like water itself.
