Homebrew Ancient Genasi Species Details

Origins - Primordial Genasi are a once thought extinct version of the modern days genasi.  They come from powers even greater than what created the Genasi of the modern day.  When elementals shaped the material plane, parts of their power combined and found sentience.  This is what created the Primordial Genasi.  A combination of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air powers all forming together to make a species that embodied them all.

Appearance - Primordial Genasi come in all kinds of colours and shades.  From the darkest black, to a blinding light, the Primordial Genasi embody every colour.  On the surface of their skin, primordial magic flows.  Others can see the different colours flowing through them.  Some lines come together at the palms of the hands where spells are cast, or they all intersect at their heart.  These lines are the equivalent of any humanoids characteristics that make them unique.
