Humans

Physique
Humans typically stand from 5 feet, to a little over 6 feet tall, weighing anywhere from 125-250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Thanks to their habit of conquest and migration, as well as their short life span, humans are quite physically diverse. Their skin tone can range from a pale white, to an almost black or dark brown, their hair a light blond to black, and their facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Humans have a short life span compared to the other common races, reaching adulthood around 17, and living rarely a century.

Location
The races’ conquering demeanor have also enabled them to claim the entirety of the eastern continent of Huron, settling along its shores and within its’ forests. The climate on Huron can vary from icy cold in the south, the temperate in the center, and cold again up north.

Human cities are don’t lie in any one single environment, but rather, humans settle wherever convenient, whether that be forest, or plains, or coastline, and their cities can vary dramatically. Human cities are typically large and have an array of different people, as well as visitors from other places or of other races. Several capitals lie within Huron, as many cities claim superiority to themselves. No single city or ruler lies in charge because of the lack of a central system of government among all of Huron. Rather, there is a series of kingdoms, princedoms, baronies, holdings, and city-states that control the entirety of the continent.

Skills
Unfortunately, humans have the shortest life-span of all the races. This actually gives the humans a strong ability to learn new skills and quickly become adept at nearly anything, due to their lack of ultimate time. Although learning new skills comes quickly to humans, they’re hardly naturally skilled at anything, like Dwarves to war, or Elves to magic.

Families
Families among humans can vary in size, anywhere from a single child and parents, to having 4 or 5 children as well as parents in a family. Human families are quite diverse because of their short longevity. This creates a lot of species of this race, and not as many noble families as other races, like Dwarves or Elves. Human male children are quickly taught to help the family, as well as females are taught how to cook and sew.

Work
Careers among humans can vary to nearly anything. Because they pick up skills so quickly, and they originally lived on such a large, non-diverse continent, humans had to learn to be able to take care of anything, may that be hunting and gathering, to agriculture, to alchemy, to magic. Huron is now very diverse, as well as their cities being largely interracial, yet the human race is still very skillfully diverse.

Transportation
Transportation to humans is very similar to any other races’ transportation - Ship, carriage, and horseback. Human ships are more commonly bulky and practical compared to ornate and swift. Carriages can be found in nearly any large city, as well as many carriages can be found within the county side, likely going to or from a large city. Human raised horses are strong and durable.

Weapons


umans can use just about any weapon. They can very between missile, melee, and magic. One of the most popular weapons among the race is the traditional Long Sword, common for its practicality and reliability. Other melee weapons can include daggers, knives, quarterstaffs, Great Swords, clubs, and mases. Missile weapons might include bow and arrows, throwing knives, throwing axes and slings. Magic for humans is only limited by the mage’s ability.
