Homebrew Gaian Species Details

This race of beings are sometimes mistaken for Genasi, but instead of being limited to a single element, they have attuned to them all from birth. Where they originated is unknown, some say that when the original elements were created, so were the Gaians. Some even speculate that Gaians were the first elemental race, though that has never been proven.

Their people tend to be rather proud and stoic, but chaotic by nature. Earth, Wind, Fire and Water rule their thoughts and their appearance. Some have twigs for hair that's lit aflame, obsidian cracks where water meets fire, skin harder than rocks. Each Gaian is unique and few look the same, even a child may share no similar characteristics to their parents. On the inside they are more human than that, though the anatomy is not exactly the same.

They tend to have large chaotic castles made from rock and flowing with lava and water, surrounded with clouds that obscure the eyes of invaders. Inside these estates they house communities, generally five to eight families living amongst one another. There was never a ruler or rules, and everyone was just expected to be as they were. Gender is meaningless to Gaians outside of reproduction, and you can even find pod families with multiple partners.
