Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Marid-Blooded

Marid-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

The marid are mercurial and capricious, in many ways as unpredictable as the sea itself. Consequently, the reasons that a marid may choose to take a mortal companion are so incredibly varied that trying to pinpoint a particular theme is a fool's errand. For rather obvious reasons most of those who have descended from these water genies hail from families of mariners or coast-dwellers, but given the chaotic nature of their progenitors, marid-blooded individuals are apt to turn up in the unlikeliest of places.

Those with a marid bloodline are often tall and somewhat slender for their race, although they have a wiry frame that is often stronger than they look. Their eyes tend to be blue or green, and often their hair or skin has a slight bluish or greenish tinge as well. Like their forebears, marid-blooded characters are often wildly unpredictable.
