Ifrits

The Ifrits, also known as the Folk of Flames or the People of the Ash, are descendants of the Djinn whose material essence was subjected to inflammation or hot temperatures after the casting of the Dust Curse. Fiery and majestic, Ifrits have built themselves quite an ambiguous reputation: some see them as passionate, hard-working and energetic, others consider them as rash and quick-tempered loose cannons.

Physiology
Physiologically Ifrits are divided into the Ash Ifrits and Flame Ifrits. The former were formed from ash and embers and as such their whole bodies are black as night, with the exception of scarlet or golden eyes. The latter were formed from flames that have taken solid form - their skin, hair and eyes are all crimson and carmine, manifesting the fire that burns inside every one Ifrit.

Culture
Ifrit culture promotes activity and shuns being passive; the literal heat that burns inside every Ifrit forces them to move, to take action and to work. Ifrits' philosophy, called the Path of the Blazing Heart, ideally sums up the typical Ifrit lifestyle: according to the Path, control over one's self is achieved through action and exercise. An Ifrit is like a slab of steel - only when melted and heated to it's limits can it be shaped into something productive and worthwile. Such a way of life produces an unusual amount of leaders and achievers.
