Gen Familiar

Prerequisite
Pact of the Chain feature
Description
When you cast find familiar, you can choose for your familiar to be a gen instead of one of the normal options. Statistics on the different types of gens in their true forms appear at the end of this archetype description. When your gen familiar is first summoned, it gains temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
If you have the Elemental Potentate otherworldly patron, this is your gen servant manifesting its true physical body, so it must be a gen of the associated type for the element you chose for your Elemental Patron feature. Such a gen familiar grants all the same benefits it would in its incorporeal form, as long as you are able to communicate with it telepathically. While your gen familiar is dismissed, or if it has been reduced to 0 hit points and you have not summoned it again since, your gen servant can still appear in its incorporeal form.
