Biology

Appearance

• Height: Humans tend to be between 5' to 6'6" tall. Particularly tall humans can reach as tall as 7'6".
• Weight: Humans are the baseline for weight.
• Build: Humans range from emaciated to morbidly obese, soft to heavily muscled. They have an immense rage of builds.
• Bust: Humans have a broad range of breast types. Most humans have breasts ranging from AA-cup to DD-cup; with rare individuals reaching as large as H-cups.
• Penis: Humans have a broad range of penis sizes. Most fall between 3" and 9"; with rare individuals having penises as small as 1/2" on the low side and 13.5" on the high side.
• Skin: Humans have a broad range of skin tones, ranging from nearly white peach to dark umber brown.
• Hair: Human hair can be black, brown, red, blond, or any variation between. Humans with traces of other races in their bloodline may rarely display any hair color.
• Eyes: Human eyes can be brown, hazel, gray, blue or green. Humans with traces of other races in their bloodline may rarely display any eye color.
• Other details: Humans are the basis of comparison for these reports.

Genders

Humans can be male or female only.

• Pure humans are only male or female.
• Pure humans can have transitional genitalia that is not quite male or female. These individuals are not truly hermaphrodites, just males and females with unusual genitalia.
• Humans can rarely exhibit futanari or neuter genders. This is always due to other races in their bloodline.

Reproduction

Humans reproduce sexually.

• Humans can cross with any lesser, humanoid, or greater race.
• Purely human pregnancies last about 10 months (not 9 as is commonly believed).

Age

Humans are the baseline for age in these reports.

• A human that is entering adolescence would be around 10-12 years old.
• Humans reach maturity at around 18 years old, and live about 80 years. Rare humans can live into the 100's.

Diet

Humans are omnivores

• Humans can digest the food of most other races with relative ease. Dwarven fare is not very good for their teeth, however.

Other Considerations

• Humans are the most populous of all of the races, and have expanded to almost every continent. They are by far the most diverse of the sentient races.

Spirituality

Worship

Humans worshiped the human gods before the god war. Some humans worshiped foreign gods before the god war.

• About 10% of humans secretly worship the human gods.
• about 5% of humans secretly worship foreign gods.

Afterlife

The human gods have many afterlives, with nearly every deity having their own.

• A human who faithfully follows their patron deity will find themselves in that deity's realm after they die.
• A human who does not follow their patron deity faithfully, regularly "sinning" against the deity, will find themselves in the hellish realm of Kras-Kel, to have their sins purged from their soul before they can enter their patron's realm. The period of purging is exorbitantly long; even a mildly sinful soul with spend tens of thousands of years in Kras-Kel.
• Humans who follow foreign gods are subject to that pantheon's afterlife.

Other Considerations

• Most of the humans who still worship do so as a means to gain power; meaning that they generally worship the less nice deities. Some still worship the good deities however, feeling that they should not have been targeted in the god war.

Magic and Technology

Magic

Humans are able to learn magic fairly well.

• Pure humans have no natural magics, and must learn what they use.
• About 5% of the human population have traces of other races in their bloodlines enough to become sorcerers.
• Most witches are humans, as the increased ambition of the race makes the deals somehow more palatable than they are to others.

Technology

Humans are capable technologists.

• Humans are equally inventive and opportunists.
• Humans are creative, but not nearly as skilled as gnomes in the creation of new technology.
• Human technology "borrows" from the advances of the technology of others quite frequently.

Culture

Humans are a diverse race of relatively short-lived, ambitious humanoids.

Taboos

Human taboos vary widely by culture.

• Human communities have varying degrees of nudity taboos, from none to very prudent.
• Human communities have varying degrees of incest taboo, though 1-step incest (parent-child, sibling-sibling) is uncommon.
• Most Human communities have a taboo against bestiality.
• Many Human communities have a taboo against homosexuality. Occasionally this only applies to male homosexuality.
• Human communities have varying degrees of underage sex taboos. It is rare to find a human culture that allows sex with human children under the age 6 years old, and the most common age of consent is 14 years old.

Residence

Humans live in the most diverse forms of housing of all the races, from vast cities to mud huts and caves. Humans live where ever they can.

Other Considerations

• Humans are often considered child-like in their attitude by many members of the longer-lived races. This can lead to the human feeling patronized by the other race. Racial bigotry is more common among humans than any other civilized race.
