Homo Amicus (Hoh-mo am-ee-cus)

The Homo Amicus, or friendly humans, are a species that live on Lyamia. Most of them live in the nation of Nira, though some live in other nations or on the islands, especially nearby Nira.

They got their name due to their intense friendliness. They have intense compassion and empathy and normally stay in large groups.

They walk delicately, and often are quite smart, and are also creative. However, they are not very athletic.

They are omnivores and will eat a wide variety of foods, but most prefer sweet and salty foods.

Every Homo Amicus has traits that align with real-world neurodivergence, commonly similar to ADHD, Autism, and Sensory Processing Disorder

Basic Information

Anatomy

As for physical characteristics, they generally look like humans, with commonly long, silky hair, commonly with tips either naturally or artifically a different color then the roots of their hair, which often are more natural colored. The tips are often more fantasy colors, in many designs and patterns.

They often have large eyes, with various colors, ranging from the gray, blue, green, black and brown that we often see in people to indigo, amythist, lavender, rose, mint, gold, and more. Some also have flecks of other colors in their eyes- silver and gold are common for this.

Most have smooth skin, with short, soft hairs that blend into the skin, and a wide variety of skin tones that you would normally find on earth.

Many are smaller and more elfish in stature than others, and it is not uncommon to have pointed ears.

Growth Rate & Stages

Generally can be considered full-grown at 24. Their average lifespan is 112. They grow extremly fast before becoming 3, and then after that they still grow fast until around 15, then they grow at a more moderate rate, until 24 when they start to grow slowly. Teenagers are 15-24, children are 3-15, infants are before 1 year old, toddlers are 1-3

Ecology and Habitats

Prefer a more morderate habitat, and they reside in cities and towns

Dietary Needs and Habits

Omnivores

Behaviour

Generally quite nice, but behave differently than Homo Velox or Homo Fidelis, but the differences are similar to neurotypical to neurodivergent differences in real life

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Mainly Nira

Average Intelligence

Quite smart

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

They have the ability to use powerful magic, with some of the strongest magic powers of each species.

They tend to have very good hearing. This causes them to be uncomftorable or upset in loud areas. However, if too many noises happen around them, they tend to not always be able to hear everything, but they can hear a few ambient noises still, which can also cause them to become stressed. Due to this, in Nira, people tend to be quieter, and they have special fireworks with less volume, and more.

A lot get stressed around bright blue lights, so it is legally required in Nira to have warm and dim lights. Some places have colored lights however, which is a special exception, but they still need to be dim
