HUMANS
Homeland: The true cradle of human life is unknown, but it is believed that they originated in Muliphen.
Capitol City: Cerastes in Muliphen, Sasanka in Furud and Aschere on Murzim are considered the three "great" human cities, but they have no one capitol.
Descriptors: Human (noun sing) Humans (plr); Human (adj)
Language: Common Tongue, native languages other than the common tongue are possible, but it varies by location.
Benefit: Highly adaptable and skilled, Humans gain one extra skill at level one. They are able to live in almost any climate and are able to successfully breed with almost all of the races of Aludra.
Disadvantage: Humans have no real "disadvantages", but they do not benefit in the same way as the other races do.
Life Expectancy: Typically 70 - 90 years. Varies depending on location, affluence and technological level of the human community.
Appearance: Humans come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Males are typically larger than females, but not enough to present a true sexual dichotomy, as frequently women are as tall as if not taller than men. Human height varies greatly; at maturity, the average height for men and women is 5'4 to 5'10, but it is also extremely common to see people as short as 4'9 and as tall as 6'2, with heights in the extremes appearing, but much more rarely.
Human coloring varies almost as much as human physique: skin tones manifest in browns, peaches and yellows. Humans tan, burn and freckle, creating even more variation. Typical hair colors are brown, blonde, black, gray and red, with mixtures of those appearing, also. Eye colors are brown, blue, gray, green and hazel - rare cases of natural violet have occurred as well. Humans in Aludra are identical to the humans of Earth, so no crazy pink-haired red-eyed people, please.
