Asura
The asura make their way through the world as the representative of their genie-parent. They are expected to take on tasks, make deals, and ensure that they bring wealth and honor to their parent.
From an early age, an asura is reminded that they owe their very existence to their genie-parent and that all others are merely servants, or slaves, to further the genie's goals. Their humanoid parent is largely unknown to them, and they are taught that their humanoid heritage is a curse.
Asuras know that the blood that flows through them is the blood of noble genies, and avoid mentioning anything else of their heritage. Asura are expected to accurately recall their family lineage spanning back thousands of years, though only on the genie's side.
Born to Lead
Asuras can often be found in charge of temples to primordials, the heads of businesses, and the leaders of governments. They typically bristle when forced to follow orders, knowing that because of their bloodline, they deserve to lead.
Genie-Parents
Dao Bloodline
One of the most extravagent of the genie, the dao are interested in riches and wealth, often sending their asura to lead business ventures into the material plane. The dao are interested in the finest of slaves, and often dispose of unremarkable asura in their various gem mines on their plane, toiling under constant lashings until death takes them.
Asuras that prove themselves to be exceptional at business, trade or some other means of making money are highly rewarded and trusted with more power. Asura of this bloodline have grown used to the splendor of jewelry and are critical of fashion and beauty.
Djinni Bloodline
One of the kinder genie-parents an asura can ask for, these beings are renown for their nice treatment of servants, often showering them with gifts or praise. The asura who travel from this plane do so for a variety of reasons, from pushing the worship of Vento to buying or selling succulent fruits.
An asura that betrays the trust of their parent as despised, and often the djinni vow vengeance on any who would work against them. Djinni and their asuras are known for their kindness but are also known for their grudges that can outlast the multiverse.
Efreeti Bloodline
Cruel parents create cruel children, and the asura who come from the efreeti are no different. Efreeti send their children into the various planes in order to capture slaves for the slave-markets for the City of Brass and many are often bandit leaders or crime lords.
An efreeti shows little gratitude to an asura that does well. An asura is only a tool to be used and disposed of.
Marid Bloodline
Pretentious and stuck up is the general consensus of the marid-asura, probably due to the fact that most marids think of themselves as far more important than they are. Due to the marid's dislike of dealing with anyone that isn't a marid, asura are rare in the plane, often finding the world out side the Plane of Water to be more welcoming.
An asura sent on a mission to the material plane is there to spread the word of their genie-parent and their noble heritage. These asuras are always full of great tales about their parents and victories against the other genies.
Janni Bloodline
Of all the genie, the Janni are the most likely to allow their children to know their non-genie parent. Since they reside on the material plane almost exclusively, only making short expeditions into the planes, many of the other genie think they are soft. It is true that they are the weakest of their kind, but it is not an insult one should ever levy at them.
An asura dispatched by their parent is often doing so to seek out a new oasis, find allies for a great task, or simply because the asura is interested in teh world around them.
Physical Description
Asura often have dark skin that is lightly tinged by the coloring of their genie-parent, making them difficult to spot at a glance. The most striking aspect of them is that their eyes have no whites but rather the brilliant color of their element. You have a taller and stronger build than that of a typical human.
