Human
Humans are bipedal Mortals native to Altia. Their ancestors originally hailed from the Eriammos continent and since then they have slowly come to populate all regions of the world. They're very dexterous with their limbs which has led them to great discoveries and inventions.
Skin Colors & Markings
Skin Colors
Humans have skin tones that can range from deep ebonies and warm umbers to almond sands and pale petals. Humans of Eronean descent typically have paler skin tones, while folks descending from warmer continents tend to have darker skin tones.Markings
Some Humans are born with birthmarks, moles, or freckles that are usually a darker tone than their natural skin color. Other markings come later in life by natural causes (like age spots and stretch marks) or by external factors like tattoos or scars.Hair Colors
Human hair colors are from a warm spectrum (with the exception of jet black, or the silver-white hair of old age). Their hair texture varies massively in thickness and natural shape allowing them to experiment with imaginative and highly expressive hairstyles.Eye Colors
Humans have circular pupils and their eye colors range from muted greens mixed with grey to steel blues, warm hazels, and deep browns. Some humans have heterochromia where one eye is a different color than the other, but this is a rare occurrence.Conception
Humans conceive as most mammalian beings do, but they can increase their fertility and chances of a successful pregnancy by eating a healthy diet or by using fertility elixirs. Some folks swear by the use of enchantments and obscure rituals rumored to appease ancient fertility gods, but such practices have unreliable results.Childbirth
Human pregnancy lasts 9 months and childbirth is painful and potentially fatal if not aided by nurses or healers.Children
Human childhood lasts until they reach thirteen years of age and is a time of physical, mental, and magical development.Adolescence
Human adolescence lasts until they reach twenty years of age and is considered to be the time of sexual development during puberty. Laws vary within different societies about what age an adolescent Human is allowed to partake in different responsible activities.Adulthood
Humans reach adult maturity after their twentieth birthday (though many still have the mental maturity of a twelve-year-old). Their bodies stop developing but, oddly enough, their ears and noses will continue to grow at a barely noticeable pace throughout their lives.Old Age & Death
Humans can live to a ripe old age of somewhere between 80 and 100 years old (if they're lucky). The upbringing of their social classes, their profession, and their general lifestyle will have a huge impact on this number!The eyes of the old tell many tales of regret, so make sure your life story is one they won't forget.
