Marijinn (Mare-ih-jin)

Marijinn are fey genies who take on aspects of sky and water. In their natural state in the Whimsey plane they appear as tall, thin figures made of upward-running water with a buzzing center of crackling lightning. They typically display four stick-like upper appendages which taper into sharpened talons. Their lower bodies often harken dangerous sea-storms, swirling clouds and sprays of foam like the surf breaking on jutting rocks. Their visages can have vague humanoid features, but often are just a flurry of watery tendrils mimicking strands of wind-blown hair above a set of shadowy facial features which often are just eyes or a rippled reflection of whomever beholds them.
Marijinn countenance often reflects their mood: a calm or happy marijinn will frequently have a clear aquamarine coloration and a less pronounced electrical storm center, the lower half appearing more like serene puffy clouds, while an agitated or angry marijinn may darken to gray or blackish-blue with violent lightning storms and roiling black cloudshapes on bottom.
On the Mortal Phase planes, marijinn lose their ability to harness the fey magic of their home, and cannot manipulate the air currents enough to fly. Their alien appearance also makes them readily mistaken for Profane and they tend to avoid populated areas unless carefully disguised.
