Magical Affinity: Carmenism and Siphoning

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

The humans have rather good relations with Selfonn. They consider themselves better because they believe themselves to be the original species and they are the only ones capable of siphoning. They will attempt to kill if in favorable circumstances, or flee from a Sea Folk upon sighting. They hate the Desert Folk with a fierce murderous passion, and have had many expeditions into the desert with the sole purpose of eradicating them and taking their lands.

male – 5’8, female – 5’4

Average Weight

Average Physique

Humans are the one race that seems to be capable of putting on excess weight in the form of fat. Human muscles tend to vary broadly depending on the type of training the human does. A human can be similarly lean to that of an Selfonni physique, or bulky and defined like a Desert Folk physique, though in neither as extreme.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

Their skin tones tend to be copper-, bronze-, and gold-based, minus the metallic coloration. Humans commonly have body hair to protect from the cold, which sometimes alters the appearance of their skin. Male humans tend to be hairier and have the ability to grow an abundance of facial hair, which they commonly refer to as beards. Their hair color ranges diversely from black, to deep browns, to coppers, to blondes, until older years when they tend to become grey, silver, or white.
