They are the simplest race in all of Syphora; from their versatile nature to adaptable skills and societies, they are revered for making up the majority of the populous. <br> ## Description #### Appearance ... Standing anywhere from a little under 5 feet to just over 6 feet tall, the anatomy of a human is the epitome of all [[humanoid]] beings. A pair of eyes, arms, legs, and round ears; A head, a nose, a mouth in which they may speak any language. Their skin tones range drastically from dark blacks and browns to porcelain pale or any tan in-between. They tend to have natural colorations, even in their hair that range from blacks, browns, blonds, or reds of which all vary in texture from curly to straight to wavy. <br> #### Personality ... There is scarcely a typical personality to sit by humans. Opposed to many races who stand isolated within the world, their populous knows no bounds and for that their cultures and societies can range drastically. They are just as versatile in their outlook on the world as is every other aspect of their self. <br><br> ## History #### Origins ... It is believed that humans were the third race to ever be created by the [[Saia|Goddess Saia]]. Though this is often contested, rarely are they ever thought to have come before the likes of [[Elf|elves]] or [[Dwarf|dwarves]]. It was the immortality of the races the preceded them and their lack of respect or love for the life around them that they were crafted; To allow the beauties of the world to breathe through them, for their shorter lifespans led unto a unique view none other could hold. <br> #### Society ... As stated previously, societies of humans can vary drastically. From the horrid, craggy lands of Voskhan, filled with thievery and sin to simple, humble villages of human farmers and lovers of the life and land they believe the Goddess to have blessed them with. <br><br> ## Powers and abilities It is of no surprise that the inherent capabilities of a human are often far outclassed to the likes of many other races due to their simplistic heritage and minimal blessings. However, their wits and adaptability aid them in standing toe-to-toe with such beings, even without great strength, magic prowess, or even resistances to heat or cold. It is this resilience that allows humans to persist with enough effort or dedication. <br><br> ## Notable humans ##### PCs ...
