Undine

As with other genasi, the Undine are humanoids wrought of the raw elemental power of the moon Merida. This can take the form of being born on or under the influence of the moon, living there long enough to become ingrained in the element, or undergoing a process to leash the element with the individual's body. Merida is incredibly conducive to life, with a huge quantity of aquatic creatures and the races that make their homes among the reefs, trenches, and icebergs commonplace to Merida. As such Undine are unique among other humanoids that call Merida home, being their proximity to the genie rulers the Marids. The symptoms of transformation take the form of the ability to breathe underwater, resistance to the cold and pressure of the sea, and the flesh taking on a more scaled form.
The only creatures that cannot be imbued with elemental power are those already claimed by another element. An Ifrit cannot become an Undine no matter how long they stay on Merida. A blue dragon will not lose its earth affinity if it undergoes the ritual. A Neried is already made of Merida, and thus cannot be classified as a Undine. Creatures native to the World but are aquatic cannot be classified as Undine either, such as tritons, merfolk, sea elves and so on.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

Undine skin typically takes a scaly tone, and can come in about any variety of color that a fish can, from greys and blues to rainbow colors. Their hands are webbed, with fins along their ears as they elongate. Their eyes can come in the form of bright blues and greens to huge black eyes like a shark's.
