Nerellian Human
With nearly 300 generations since the world fell into a slow cycle, the Nerellian humans have drifted away from their Ellonian ancestors, not surprising since Ellond no longer counts "human" as a singular race. Nerellian humans found that they were compatible with the mortal servants of the elemental and celestial worlds, and later additions of fey and other outsider blood became mixed in as well. Modern Nerellian humans possess the same basic physical qualities of the ancestors, but most also boast a physical heritage which ties them to their mixed bloodline. A modern Nerellian human may be born with golden glowing eyes, showing celestial heritage; sharp fangs or forked tongue owing to a fiendish heritage; craggy horn-like protrusions for oread blooded; a warm enveloping wind for Sylph blooded; higher than normal body heat for ifrit kin; or a freshly bathed look owing to Undine kinship. Fey-blooded humans (Houri-kin) have an appearance drawn from their Houri mothers (or father), while hag blooded humans are typically categorized as human-like (changelings) rather than human.
Nerellian humans have a wide range of 'normal' apperances depending upon their dominant bloodline. While two parents of differing bloodlines can have a child together, the child will only pick up traits from their 'dominant bloodline'. Regardless of their bloodline, it is not uncommon among Nerellian humans to have pointed ears of varrying length, a common trait across all of the elemental, celestial, or fey patrons.
Elemental-Kin Bloodlines:
Oread blooded humans tend to have darker skin tones, from nut brown to obsidian black or granite grey, or neutral 'tanned' looking skin with dark freckling. Their eyes have a wide varriance of stone or gem colors being either dull stone colored (rare) or bright gem colors. Oread-kin tend towards darker hair colors, with brunette and black being common, and colors like auburn being a bit more rare. Humans with Ordead blood tend to be of average height with stong healthy builds.
Oread-kin will often inherit physical traits from their parent, with crack-like features where their skin would crease (crows feet, hands, scars) being fairly common features. Rocky protrutions, stone scales, or bits of crystal embedded in the skin are common physical traits. Regardless of physical traits, Oread-kin tend to have thick soles of their feet and often go barefoot. Oread-kin often have a natural scent reminicent of things like clover, sage, or various woody scents.
Ifrit blooded humans tend to have 'olive' or 'bronzed' skin tones, though darker shades are not uncommon either. Ifrit-kin eyes tend towards warmer colorations from light brown to amber colors, blue and green are extremely rare in Ifrit-kin humans. Hair colors typically range from light browns to dirty blonde and even orange-ish colors. Ifrit-kin tend towards tall lean athletic builds.
Ifrit-kin often inherit minor firey physical traits, with glowing eyes or hair being very common, and high body tempeture being fairly universal. Ifrit-kin often have a natural scent reminicint of warm spices like cardamom or cinnamon.
Sylph blooded humans tend to have neutral 'rosey' skin tones, though hints of blue or pale-blue are not uncommon. Much like their elemental patrons, all sylph-kin posses 'milky' eyes of white and blue, though this does not impair their eyesight in the least. Hair color of sylph-kin is commonly shades of white or silver, with some being platinum blondes, or blue tones. Sylph-kin tend to be of average heights and slight builds, often weighing less than would be normal for their size.
Sylph-kin often inherit their elemental patrons supernatural breeze, which seems to alter based on their emotional state. Some sylph-kin inherit their patrons tattoo-like markings which might also glow a soft blue at times. Sylph-kin tend to have a natural scent which is often compaired to a 'fresh breeze', or a 'cold' or 'warm' wind.
Undine blooded humans tend to have pale complexions, with white or porcelain skin tones. Unsuprisingly, dark eyes of blues and greens are the most common amongst undine-kin, some possessing eyes with no whites. Dark hair is exceptionally common for undine-kin, making them very recognisable among their peers, with black and dark blue being most common. Undine-kin tend towards tallish sleek builds.
Undine-kin nearly univerally share one physical trait from their parton, though it varries in each individual. Each undine-kin tends to look wet, though this might be anything from looking like they've worked up a good sweat, walked through a light rain, or just emerged from a bath. While this effect doesn't make the undine-kin any more moist than they would be in any situation, it does tend to make them look more 'clean', or 'fresh'. Some undine-kin may also possess a soft glow to their eyes as an additional physical trait. Undine-kin tend to have a naturally 'clean' scent, often described as smelling like a spring, or a brooke, or some other water scent.
Tiefling blooded humans have no specificly inherrited skin, hair, or eye colors, but nearly all tiefling-kin, regardless of looks, tend to be described as 'dark'. Tiefling-kin tend to be of any height or build, with outlandish sizes not being uncommon.
Tiefling-kin, as mentioned above, tend to universally be seen as being 'dark', this description stemming from the tiefling-kins fiendish herritage. This Dark contenance is a supernatural effect that can cause even the most innocent commont to sound a little sinister, but at the same time, attractive tiefling-kin are often described as 'mysterious' or 'smoldering' in contradiction of this contenance. Physical traits are not uncommon to be passed down to a tiefling-kin, even skipping generations, with horns, tails, or fangs being the most common taits. Tiefling-kin tend to have a natural 'human' scent, unlike other Nerellian humans.
Aasimar blooded humans tend to have fair skin, blonde colored hair, bright eyes with a golden ring around the iris, and a 'warm' or 'caring' feeling about them. Though this is the most common look for aasimar-kin, much like tiefling-kin, aasimar-kin have a much more varried look depending on the patrons of their bloodline. Tiefling tend to be of average height and build.
Aasimar-kin tend to inherit a genral air of warmth or caring, but rarly inharit other physical traits of their patrons. Unusual traits possessed by their patrons may pass down to aasimar-kin, but this is also rare. Much like tiefling-kin, aasimar-kin do not have a recognisable natural scent outside of the normal human range.
Houri Kin inherit the physical appearance of their mothers (and rarely, their fathers), making them appear to be 'lesser' versions of their fey-like patrons. Summer-kin tend to be tall and slender with red hair and green eyes. Autumn-kin are typically average in height wirh full-figured bodies (not overweight), dirty-blonde to brown hair, and hazel colored eyes. Winter-kin tend towards slim builds with white hair and blue eyes. Spring-kin mostly have petit athletic bodies youthful looks, blonde hair, and amber to light brown eyes. All houri-kin tend to have an attractive appearance for the area where they live.
Houri-kin possess a few of their patrons supernatural abilities regadless of the specific type they inherit from. Houri-kin tend to have an attractive appearance, which can change slightly over time to match changing desires of their local region, or if they move to a new area, though this proccess takes around a year and is not often noticed by locals. Houri-kin also inherit their patrons odd ability to alter the things they wear over time. The longer a Houri-kin wears a peice of clothing, armor, jewelry, etc; the brighter, more natural, and better fitting it will appear. Even the textures or color may change over time to compliment the kin wearing it; with years of wear making the garment look to be perfectly tailored to the houri-kin. Finally, Houri-kin appear to age slower than other Nerrellian humans. Once they've reached their 'naming day', a houri-kin will appear to age slower, looking to be a teenager until they reach their mid twenties, and a twenty-something until nearly 50. By the age of 70, a houri-kin may appear to be in their early 50's, and most only appear to be 60ish when they pass away from old age.
Similar to their Houri patrons, Houri-kin are about three-quarters female.
Though they inherit no underlying personality traits from their patrons, most Nerellian humans fall prey to stereotyping based on bloodlines. Oread-kin are said to be patient and stubborn; Ifrit-kin, passionate or quick tempored; Sylph-kin are often called flighty daydreamers; while Undine-kin are oft seen as quiet and vengeful. The Celestial bloodlines are very often simply seen as extentions of 'good' or 'evil', with Aasimar-kin being seen as happy and kind; and Tiefling-kin getting labeled shifty, creepy, or strange. Houri-kin are generally seen as beeing flirty harlots, or worse.
Each Nerellian human makes their own way through the world, with their individual experiences and develop their personality as a resault. Catagorizing an entire bloodline in such ways is nothing more than they ignorance of the masses; though it can be said that tiefling-kin to tend to be assigned rogueish classes at a much higher rate than others; and Houri-kin usually receive a class which relys on their natural charisma.
Nerelian humans are the most populace humanoids on Nerele, with a large varriation across the world. Nerellian humans who chose to adventure are usually in it for the coin and experience, with gaining levels being a main focus. It is uncommon to see a 'non-combat' class adventuring, though a few attempt it to try and change their fates, rarely succeeding. Nerellian human adventurers of all types are commonly found in the various guilds, companies, and dojo's of the world, seeking adventure.

Appearance
Nerellian humans have a wide range of 'normal' apperances depending upon their dominant bloodline. While two parents of differing bloodlines can have a child together, the child will only pick up traits from their 'dominant bloodline'. Regardless of their bloodline, it is not uncommon among Nerellian humans to have pointed ears of varrying length, a common trait across all of the elemental, celestial, or fey patrons.
Elemental-Kin Bloodlines:
Oread blooded humans tend to have darker skin tones, from nut brown to obsidian black or granite grey, or neutral 'tanned' looking skin with dark freckling. Their eyes have a wide varriance of stone or gem colors being either dull stone colored (rare) or bright gem colors. Oread-kin tend towards darker hair colors, with brunette and black being common, and colors like auburn being a bit more rare. Humans with Ordead blood tend to be of average height with stong healthy builds.
Oread-kin will often inherit physical traits from their parent, with crack-like features where their skin would crease (crows feet, hands, scars) being fairly common features. Rocky protrutions, stone scales, or bits of crystal embedded in the skin are common physical traits. Regardless of physical traits, Oread-kin tend to have thick soles of their feet and often go barefoot. Oread-kin often have a natural scent reminicent of things like clover, sage, or various woody scents.
Ifrit blooded humans tend to have 'olive' or 'bronzed' skin tones, though darker shades are not uncommon either. Ifrit-kin eyes tend towards warmer colorations from light brown to amber colors, blue and green are extremely rare in Ifrit-kin humans. Hair colors typically range from light browns to dirty blonde and even orange-ish colors. Ifrit-kin tend towards tall lean athletic builds.
Ifrit-kin often inherit minor firey physical traits, with glowing eyes or hair being very common, and high body tempeture being fairly universal. Ifrit-kin often have a natural scent reminicint of warm spices like cardamom or cinnamon.
Sylph blooded humans tend to have neutral 'rosey' skin tones, though hints of blue or pale-blue are not uncommon. Much like their elemental patrons, all sylph-kin posses 'milky' eyes of white and blue, though this does not impair their eyesight in the least. Hair color of sylph-kin is commonly shades of white or silver, with some being platinum blondes, or blue tones. Sylph-kin tend to be of average heights and slight builds, often weighing less than would be normal for their size.
Sylph-kin often inherit their elemental patrons supernatural breeze, which seems to alter based on their emotional state. Some sylph-kin inherit their patrons tattoo-like markings which might also glow a soft blue at times. Sylph-kin tend to have a natural scent which is often compaired to a 'fresh breeze', or a 'cold' or 'warm' wind.
Undine blooded humans tend to have pale complexions, with white or porcelain skin tones. Unsuprisingly, dark eyes of blues and greens are the most common amongst undine-kin, some possessing eyes with no whites. Dark hair is exceptionally common for undine-kin, making them very recognisable among their peers, with black and dark blue being most common. Undine-kin tend towards tallish sleek builds.
Undine-kin nearly univerally share one physical trait from their parton, though it varries in each individual. Each undine-kin tends to look wet, though this might be anything from looking like they've worked up a good sweat, walked through a light rain, or just emerged from a bath. While this effect doesn't make the undine-kin any more moist than they would be in any situation, it does tend to make them look more 'clean', or 'fresh'. Some undine-kin may also possess a soft glow to their eyes as an additional physical trait. Undine-kin tend to have a naturally 'clean' scent, often described as smelling like a spring, or a brooke, or some other water scent.
Tiefling blooded humans have no specificly inherrited skin, hair, or eye colors, but nearly all tiefling-kin, regardless of looks, tend to be described as 'dark'. Tiefling-kin tend to be of any height or build, with outlandish sizes not being uncommon.
Tiefling-kin, as mentioned above, tend to universally be seen as being 'dark', this description stemming from the tiefling-kins fiendish herritage. This Dark contenance is a supernatural effect that can cause even the most innocent commont to sound a little sinister, but at the same time, attractive tiefling-kin are often described as 'mysterious' or 'smoldering' in contradiction of this contenance. Physical traits are not uncommon to be passed down to a tiefling-kin, even skipping generations, with horns, tails, or fangs being the most common taits. Tiefling-kin tend to have a natural 'human' scent, unlike other Nerellian humans.
Aasimar blooded humans tend to have fair skin, blonde colored hair, bright eyes with a golden ring around the iris, and a 'warm' or 'caring' feeling about them. Though this is the most common look for aasimar-kin, much like tiefling-kin, aasimar-kin have a much more varried look depending on the patrons of their bloodline. Tiefling tend to be of average height and build.
Aasimar-kin tend to inherit a genral air of warmth or caring, but rarly inharit other physical traits of their patrons. Unusual traits possessed by their patrons may pass down to aasimar-kin, but this is also rare. Much like tiefling-kin, aasimar-kin do not have a recognisable natural scent outside of the normal human range.
Houri Kin inherit the physical appearance of their mothers (and rarely, their fathers), making them appear to be 'lesser' versions of their fey-like patrons. Summer-kin tend to be tall and slender with red hair and green eyes. Autumn-kin are typically average in height wirh full-figured bodies (not overweight), dirty-blonde to brown hair, and hazel colored eyes. Winter-kin tend towards slim builds with white hair and blue eyes. Spring-kin mostly have petit athletic bodies youthful looks, blonde hair, and amber to light brown eyes. All houri-kin tend to have an attractive appearance for the area where they live.
Houri-kin possess a few of their patrons supernatural abilities regadless of the specific type they inherit from. Houri-kin tend to have an attractive appearance, which can change slightly over time to match changing desires of their local region, or if they move to a new area, though this proccess takes around a year and is not often noticed by locals. Houri-kin also inherit their patrons odd ability to alter the things they wear over time. The longer a Houri-kin wears a peice of clothing, armor, jewelry, etc; the brighter, more natural, and better fitting it will appear. Even the textures or color may change over time to compliment the kin wearing it; with years of wear making the garment look to be perfectly tailored to the houri-kin. Finally, Houri-kin appear to age slower than other Nerrellian humans. Once they've reached their 'naming day', a houri-kin will appear to age slower, looking to be a teenager until they reach their mid twenties, and a twenty-something until nearly 50. By the age of 70, a houri-kin may appear to be in their early 50's, and most only appear to be 60ish when they pass away from old age.
Similar to their Houri patrons, Houri-kin are about three-quarters female.
Demeanor
Though they inherit no underlying personality traits from their patrons, most Nerellian humans fall prey to stereotyping based on bloodlines. Oread-kin are said to be patient and stubborn; Ifrit-kin, passionate or quick tempored; Sylph-kin are often called flighty daydreamers; while Undine-kin are oft seen as quiet and vengeful. The Celestial bloodlines are very often simply seen as extentions of 'good' or 'evil', with Aasimar-kin being seen as happy and kind; and Tiefling-kin getting labeled shifty, creepy, or strange. Houri-kin are generally seen as beeing flirty harlots, or worse.
Each Nerellian human makes their own way through the world, with their individual experiences and develop their personality as a resault. Catagorizing an entire bloodline in such ways is nothing more than they ignorance of the masses; though it can be said that tiefling-kin to tend to be assigned rogueish classes at a much higher rate than others; and Houri-kin usually receive a class which relys on their natural charisma.
Adventures
Nerelian humans are the most populace humanoids on Nerele, with a large varriation across the world. Nerellian humans who chose to adventure are usually in it for the coin and experience, with gaining levels being a main focus. It is uncommon to see a 'non-combat' class adventuring, though a few attempt it to try and change their fates, rarely succeeding. Nerellian human adventurers of all types are commonly found in the various guilds, companies, and dojo's of the world, seeking adventure.
