Homebrew Dust Genasi Species Details

Dust genasi are either born to an earth genasi parent and an air genasi parent, or to non-genasi parents who lived near a place suffused with a blend of energies from the Elemental Planes of Air and Earth. Dust genasi’s skin tones typically include a range of light browns and tans. Their skin is often marked by swirling lines both darker and lighter than their primary skin tone. A dust genasi’s hair usually comes in various shades of brown and might blow in a phantom wind.
