Humans

Humans

Humans are one of Eashavar's most populous races. Their success is owed to a combination of their innate wanderlust and a history of forced migrations spurred by the rampages of the Thalgor as they marched to the east. Most Humans follow the Prime Canon, though in olden times they clung to various practices known collectively as the Old Faith. Many nations follow a light syncretism of the Prime Canon and their original Old Faith, such as the worship of Al-Merak by the Gults of the Protectorate-Commonwealth.

General Information

Rarity: Common. (You may play this race without consulting the DM.)
Physical Description: Humans are quite physically diverse. They typically range from between five and six feet, and weigh between 125 to 250 pounds. Their skin shades can vary without geographic or national boundaries, rendering notions of differences among colored lines a foreign idea. The hair of humans similarly ranges in color from black to blond, and in texture from curly to kinky and straight. Males sport facial hair, while both genders have significant hair across the rest of their bodies. Humans have an uncanncy adaptability, and can be found in all walks of life and environments - though they tend to prefer those with mild weather.
Family Structure: Humans have historically lived with extended families, though urbanization has led to smaller family structures in larger cities, predominantly consisting of just immediate family (parents and children). Family is important to most humans, as titles and wealth are passed down from ancestor to child, and the family name can be a determinor of influence and relations. Close relationships tend to end at the family, with friends typically occupying a less personal role.
Attitude Toward Society: Humans fit comfortably into structured society, as most seem to prefer rigid routines and set roles over the more erratic Fey-like lifestyle. They are efficient at adopting rules and fitting into foreign customs, though they can be stubborn and cling fiercely to their own traditions. On the other hand, humans are among the more rebellious of the mortal races, and when pushed too far, they will fight for their way of life - or to improve it. The dominance of humans on the world stage is a relatively recent phenomenon, and many of them retain an empathy for races across national lines which is unparalleled, even when it is not always reciprocated.
Attitude Toward Gender: Most humans are dimorphic in gender, and most human societies have rigid binaries. Gender roles cement yet more rules into society, and following them is an expected norm, though deviation isn't likely to get you much more than frowns and headshakes in most settlements. Most people have little issue in others changing their gender, so long as they stick to the standard roles it is associated with, but they'll display confusion and distrust towards those outside of the binary.
Attitude Toward Relationships: Humans are predominantly monogamous and monosexual. Homosexuality is no less accepted than heterosexuality, but polysexual orientations tend to confuse, as sexuality and gender roles are thought to strongly intertwine. Binary polysexuality is, however, much more common than serious deviations from gender standards, especially among the more free-spirited urbanites that increasingly grow to dominate societies today.
