Ganzi
(Creature)

Ganzis1 are nephilim planar scions who have been mutated by the chaotic energies of the Maelstrom.2

Origins

Ganzis often are born randomly, in otherwise normal and unremarkable bloodlines. The mortals who parent a ganzi can often be those who mingle with beings of the Maelstrom, or who travel through the cerulean void. But many are simply born in places were the barriers between the planes were thin.3

Adventurers

The life of a rogue or bard suits ganzis' love of chaos and mischief, while those looking for the thrill of combat often become swashbucklers or even liberator champions. Ganzis might study illusion magic as wizards or witches.4 Some ganzis use martial arts to turn their curious forms into advantageous and unexpected weapons. Ganzi martial artists may work in the employ of others, perform their craft on street corners, or righteously fight against the enforcers of cruel laws.5
