Genoans are a race of beautiful winged humanoids with a militant history. They are lean and often use their agile bodies to their advantage.

Other races often consider Genoans to be one of the most beautiful. Their bodies are lithe yet toned and are generally coveted by other humanoid species, Humans most of all. But even so, their angelic forms still have flaws that members of their own race can spot, while outsides cannot.

Genoan wings are a prime example of their beauty and falley. While their wings do grant them flight, they soak up water like sponges, weighing them down for hours.

Genoan Purity

Most commonly Genoans are considered "Pure" and the connection they share to their ancient power remains unsullied. However, some Genoans have become tainted by an external source of some kind. Sometimes this corruption is due to their own actions but it can also be due to the actions of others.
