Lore
What are humans?
Humans are humans as we all know them. They seem to be spread far across realms for some reason, which may have something to do with their rather simple physiology compared to other humanoid species. Their subtypes correspond directly to the realm they are from.
Features
Commonly, humans have the following features:
- a normal human body without any other features
While the regular humans are completely free to make at any time, it is also possible to attach traits to a human if you wish! This is to keep a balance in the human population and to make sure not every human turns into a mutant/cyborg/etc.
Subtypes
Stydian (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesThe humans that reside in the lopilands. Highly technologically advanced, yet inherently devoid of magic - thus, they must steal magic from the Lopilu if they wish to use it. There are regular Stydians that essentially look like normal humans, as well as Pureblood Stydians who are said to come from an old bloodline. These often end up in high ranking positions by default. They may shift into their 'true' form with 4 arms.
Ludar (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesThe humans of Loova are commonly referred to as Ludar. They tend to stick to the major cities rather than move into the lovabun's domains, and are actually rarer than the bunny people themselves!
Telron (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesIn Candoris, humans are referred to as Telron. They make up about the same parts of the population as Gleamstic. They are known to live on equal footing with their fellow species, and commonly engage in relationships with them. Of course, some tensions always remain.
Hemanus (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesVelarune has their own type of humans as well - the Hemanus. In this realm, they were seen as the inferior species for a long time, until the hemanus caught up in technology and grew strong enough to oppose the equos. The two species tend to be wary of one another. hemanus are also often called two-legs or the likes.
Satria (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesIhrutia born humans are mostly referred to as Satria. They are often at odds with faun, some going as far as hunting them- or, more recently, using them for dark magical rituals. Some Satria enjoy a Faun's company for their beauty and may pay them handsomely for taking a job at their estate or company, mostly within the Steam cities. That is to say, not all humans are the same, and there is a growing minority that sees faun as just another type of person to coexist with.
Karik (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesHumans of Arkusterra. Their name is said to have been given to them by the oldest of dragons, although most humans would disagree on that story - except for those who reside in the rare secret dragon villages, easily identifiable by their colorful hair. Karik have formed various strongholds, castles and villages around the realm, with walls strong enough to keep out the worst of the beasts. Some do trade with them, however - or use them as stock.
Maerias (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesMost humans in Neo-Maera are either flocking to the main contintent, or have settled on one of the many swimming cities built over centuries. It's no wonder a big part of them is taking up the job of a seafarer or pirate, with how much water there is - even if it may be less safe than the lands.
Lorian (Human subtype)
Masterlist ExamplesThe humans originating from Gaianu, caught in a struggle between Eden and Underworld. Some are angel worshippers, some demon summoners, and others just wish to be left alone. If they live in a big city, their life may be as modern as current times - electricity, phones, computers, you name it. However, outside of these influential cities, their world is mostly in ruins- the state of little villages regressed to a more simple life due to the ongoing otherwordly conflict. Some lorians have made it their job to take down demons, while others side with them for questionable benefits.
Traits
Fluffy (Rare) Masterlist Examples
Season: Winter
Individuals that inhabit cold climates may grow thicker and longer fur to keep warm. This fur may grow in areas that a species usually does not grow fur in, or just heavily amplify existing fur.
Material traits turn a characters existing limbs, or part of one, into a different material. This should never affect more than 50% of the characters main body (the main body consisting of head, torso, arms and legs). Limbs should roughly keep their original shape (wings must still be recognizable as wings, tails as tails, etc).
NOTE: If a species naturally has some longer tufts of fur in an area, such as near the hooves of faun or equos, the fluffy trait is not needed.
Floral (Rare) Masterlist Examples
Season: Spring
Plant like growths on their bodies and a very in depth relationship with nature, these beings are quite the sight.
