Description

Water genasi are humans with an ancestor from the plane of water, usually an elemental. They are patient and independant, usually tranquil but at times can be fierce and destructive as a storm. They carry the feeling of superiority that is common to genasi, particularly over the sailors they sometimes spend time with. They are most comfortable at sea, and can breathe water as well as air, often retreating to underground lairs for long spans of time, as they often tend to be loners. However, they do feel kinship with other aquatic creatures. They tend towards neutrality in many things, avoiding extremes in opinion or action. Water genasi priests prefer to follow a deity that offers the domain of water. Genasi have no natural disposition towards light or dark, and may follow any path.
