With their penchant for migration and conquest, humans are more physically diverse than other common races. There is no typical human. An individual can stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds. Human skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, and hair colors from black to blond. A Lot of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, revealing hints of kitsune, ursus, or other lineages. Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and rarely live even a single century.
Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for ages, and great kingdoms that can persist for long centuries. An individual human might have a relatively short life span, but a human nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single human's memory. They live fully in the present-making them well suited to the adventuring life-but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics. Humans have the most elementals due to their large population, which include the Blood Elemental,Electric Elemental, Fire Elemental, Light Elemental, and Metal Elemental. They have the honor of having the first Elemental in history.
Like the other Terran races, humans build temples, governments, libraries, and codes of law to fix their traditions in the bedrock of history. Humans dream of immortality, but they achieve it by ensuring that they will be remembered when they are gone.
Although some humans can be xenophobic, in general their societies have become inclusive. Human lands now welcome large numbers of nonhumans compared to the proportion of humans who live in nonhuman lands.
Humans who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of a daring and ambitious race. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame.
Having so much more variety than other cultures, humans as a whole have no typical names. Some human parents give their children names for other languages, such as Ursin or Maoanese, but most parents give names that are linked to their region's culture or to the naming traditions of their ancestors.
