Homebrew Genie Species Details
Genies reside on the Elemental Planes, where they rule from lavish palaces and are attended by worshipful slaves. Genies are as brilliant as they are mighty, as proud as they are majestic. Haughty and decadent, they have a profound sense of entitlement that stems from the knowledge that few creatures except the gods and other genies can challenge their power.
Genies are large muscular and colorful skinned creatures that resemble humanoids only in vague shape. Their appearances vary greatly between subraces, with each of them reflecting their particular form of primordial energy in their personality and physical appearance. However, they all adorn themselves in fine flowing silk clothing and their skin tones, hair, and eye coloring always lend towards their primordial elemental.

Hover
You can float a few feet above the ground. This allows you to ignore most forms of difficult terrain and gives you advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone. However, you can float no higher than 5 feet and when you are reduced to 0 hit points you stop hovering.
Elemental Demise
When you die, your body disintegrates into either, a crystalline powder, a warm breeze, a flash of fire and smoke, a burst of water and foam, depending on your subrace, leaving behind only the equipment you were wearing or carrying.
