Man

The wolf tribes were slaughtered at their behest. The deserts of G'desh flow with blood because of their holy wars. The krait were brought from the river because of their inability to limit fishing. Greed follows man. Jealousy follows greed. Murder follows jealousy.
At the same time, no one else can harness all the magic of the world. No one else has built such amazing structures through such vast ingenuity. Wonder leads to curiosity. Curiosity leads to creativity. Creativity leads to a better life for all.
If only they weren't so hells bent on killing everything. -Nayada

Basic Information

Anatomy

species which can combine the four base elements to create new elements, such as wood, metal, glass, ice, and so on. Even creating the same two elements may create a different combine element for that particular user, often based upon who trained them, where they are, and what they believe they will accomplish. For example, earth and fire in the desert might manifest as glass, as earth shifts to sand. In most areas outside G'desh, earth and fire will lead to metal magic.
Men are also capable of learning Chaos and Order magic.
Once any magic is learned to its completion, men can then become that spirit type, though they lose all other magic they were learning. Personality is also tainted by the element or divine magic they inherit.

Biological Traits

The only note of biology is if they are half breeds. Hair, eye, and skin color can all change. Skin color can get paler or darker. Gods and air generally give paler skin color. Earth gives a deep brown color. Chaos, and sometimes fire, can give black skin.
Hair and eyes can vary drastically, whether ice blue eyes from an air spirit or blood red hair from a demon. There is no fast genetic rule on this, but first and second generation half breeds almost always have some sort of sign they are not strictly man.

Genetics and Reproduction

They copulate as humans do. Gestation is approximately 9 months.
Man may create children with gods, demons, and elemental spirits. If the mother is the element, god, or demon, gestation takes as long as they desire it to. Women still take 9 months.
Birthing elementals is a normal process, with the child simply having access to magic immediately upon birth.
God pregnancies are easy on the mother, and the birth is nearly painless, as the entire body reacts to the child as it was meant to. The child has access to Order magic upon birth.
Demon pregnancies are painful and horrific. Scarification is impossible to avoid without significant medical attention from a god. Death is not uncommon, unless sustained through Chaos or Order magic. Women who go through this are never psychologically the same. Most are never able to mentally recover and become, more or less, husks.
They can have children with djinn, which become blackamoors. They can also have children with blackamoor, which only changes skin pigmentation and gives fire magic. The child, if within ten generations of the djinn, will be a blackamoor.
Mating relationships can be had with the delven. While it will not produce offspring, it is generally not frowned upon, and the parts all work about as expected.
Giants, craefga, and wolf tribe members all provide exceptional difficulty in mating, whether through taboo, physical discomfort, or death.
