Homebrew Moon Genasi Species Details

One of a handful of rare genasi mutations to come out of the calamity, the Moon genasi are a withdrawn, dreamy people with a proclivity for the arcane arts. They tend to be pitied, as their strong connection to the Astral realm has been tied to hysteria and psychoses; some Moon genasi speak of hearing voices, or having strange nightmares. In the early days after the calamity, Moon genasi were killed as infants, seen as an ill omen to be purged. Thus, Moon genasi stray away from cities and dislike attention. Some make lives as prophets or soothsayers or devote themselves to religion, while others live in solitude or are cared for by conservators.

Moon genasi are monochrome in appearance, with skin ranging from light gray to stark black. Hair is often white, gray, or black, or a mix of these colors, such as streaks of white, etc, and has an iridescent glimmer about it. Markings on a Moon genasi’s skin often follow circular patterns. Additionally, Moon genasi are more likely to have vitiligo than other genasi subraces. All of these things make it extremely difficult for a Moon genasi to hide their nature, but perhaps most of all is the eyes - irises are luminous whitish, with scleras that can be white (giving an all-white eye appearance), or completely black.
