Race: Sylph
+2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, –2 Constitution: Sylphs are quick and insightful, but slight and delicate.
**** Native Outsider: Replaced by Mostly Human
Medium: Sylphs are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Sylphs have a base speed of 30 feet.
Darkvision: Sylphs can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
**** Spell-Like Ability: Replaced by Whispering Wind
Energy Resistance: Sylphs have electricity resistance 5.
**** Air Affinity: Replaced by Breeze-Kissed
**** Languages: Replaced by Mostly Human

Breeze-Kissed
Breezes seem to follow most sylphs wherever they go, but some sylphs are better able to control these winds than others. A sylph with this racial trait surrounds herself with swirling winds, gaining a +2 racial bonus to AC against nonmagical ranged attacks. The sylph can calm or renew these winds as a swift action. Once per day, the sylph can channel this wind into a single gust, making a bull rush or trip combat maneuver attempt against one creature within 30 feet. Whether or not the attempt succeeds, the winds are exhausted and no longer provide a bonus to the sylph’s AC for 24 hours. This is a supernatural ability. This racial trait replaces air affinity.

Mostly Human
A few ifrits, oreads, sulis, sylphs, and undines have appearances much closer to those of their human ancestors; in fact, they may not even realize their true race. Such geniekin appear to be human, save perhaps minor features like unusual eye color, and they count as humanoid (human) as well as outsider (native) for all purposes (such as humanoid-affecting spells such as charm person or enlarge person). These geniekin do not automatically gain their associated elemental language (but may select it as a bonus language if their Intelligence is high enough). This ability alters the geniekin’s type, subtype, and languages.

Whispering Wind
Some sylphs are especially thin and wispy, as though they were made more of air than flesh. Sylphs with this racial trait gain a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks. This racial trait replaces the sylph’s spell-like ability racial trait.

Character History :
Ronald and Cherisse, Ron and Cher, or Mom and Dad, didn't have any children. They had tried for several years but had no luck. Cherisse was in tears one day when she got her monthly visitor that told of another month of failure to start a family. Blinded by tears she dropped to the ground, praying to her favorite deity, Sarenrae. She begged, pleaded, and offered anything that she could think of to just have one child. She exhausted herself with her pleas without any real hope of success. While she loved the idea of Sarenrae, and did believe in Gods, she didn't have the faith of a Cleric. Laying on the ground in her dark bedroom, her tears dried up and she started to fall asleep when the ground under her face started to glow. Startled to full awareness she rolled to the side and looked around. She saw a beautiful, bright white dove descend to her pillow. It stared at her and she 'heard' a voice. "Your prayers are answered. Stay separate from your husband for thirty days. You will bear a special son. Raise him to believe." The room went dark and she passed out.

Ron woke her up to take her to bed. She told him of the encounter and that he couldn't share her bed for a month. At first he was angry but when she explained why, he accepted it. He didn't understand but accepted that if a Goddess chose to do something, humans didn't have to understand it. They just had to accept it. I was born nine months later to a very happy Ron and Cher. I was healthy although I was rather thin. My eyes were a very bright blue but otherwise I looked normal. The only odd thing people noticed was the light breeze that always seemed to flow around me.

My childhood years were.... normal? I mean, I was pretty much like any other human boy. I was skinny, translation, small so I got picked on. I learned to be quick and smart so I wasn't ever seriously hurt. Mom had learned more about Sarenrae and had told me about 'her miracle' night. I was taught to revere Sarenrae, possibly thinking that I might become a cleric.... Well, that didn't happen. I did discover that I loved learning and was good at it. Mom and Dad were merchants so I had lots of opportunity to learn, from their customers, from the items that were bought and sold in their shop, and from the books that occasionally were in the shop. I also learned that I liked languages and was able to learn several, even the rather obscure Thassilonian language. Useless? Well, probably.

As I said, I was pretty much like any other human boy. And I look kind of like a skinny miniature replica of Dad, except for my blue eyes. I guess Sarenrae has a sense of humor and decided to give my Dad even more reason to love me. It wasn't needed. Both parents loved me and considered me their special boy. They noticed that I wasn't really human. I had a few special things that weren't human. They taught me to hide them. I can see in the dark, but I don't have to admit it.... I can still the air around me so it doesn't have to blow. I can also cause the air around me to blast hard against someone or something. It can hit hard enough to knock someone down. But, I don't have to use it when someone might notice it.

As I grew up I was always asking questions. Sometimes my questions would make people uncomfortable. Sometimes I was told 'back off and leave it alone'. But I always learned. And I learned to use magic. When I learned my magic it was a real game changer. I had learned to use a blade, and a bow, but it wasn't anything special. My magic though.... It wasn't like a wizard, I don't have a spell book to study. It might have been interesting if I had since I loved the study. But I just kind of learned to cast certain spells. And my spells, they're arcane, but I can heal wounds too!
