Temperament. As a psionic(psychic) genasi you are often caught in your own imagination. If someone physically close to you experiences heavy emotions you often feel them yourself sharing in their grief or joy. All psionic genasi have more control over their own minds which allows them to lucid dream and remember all their dreams with clarity.
Appearance. Psionic genasi are the most normal looking of all the genasi. Some say psionic genasi have slightly larger heads and brains but this might just be a preconception. The only way their strange nature reveals themselves when they don't use their abilities is when they look at you or are actively focused on you. Then you can feel the weight of their attention even if you are not looking at them.
Guarded Mind. You have resistance to psychic damage.
Detect Intelligence. You are naturally perceptive for other creatures mindscapes. As a bonus action on your turn you can make an intelligence check to perceive creatures with an Intelligence score of 4 or higher within 60 feet of you. You know the location of a number of creatures equal to your check-10(minimum of 0).
Call the Mind. You know the Friends or Message cantrip, requiring no material components, the Message cantrip can be used on creatures that have the telepathy trait without it needing to know any of your languages. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Detect Thoughts spell once with this trait as a 2nd-level spell, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Empathic Instinct. Your psychic abilities allow you to more easily read people. You gain proficiency in the insight(wisdom) skill.
Languages. There is no real dialect for mindscape elementals and genasi as most mindscape elementals can communicate telepathically. And psionic genasi with the message cantrip can also communicate with these elementals but not always with all other psionic genasi. Because of this as a psionic genasi you can choose to forgo learning primordial in favor of another language. Likely the one of your parent race if you are non human.
