Human
Renowned for their adaptability and resourcefulness, humans are a versatile species that can excel in a multitude of roles. Their inherent creativity and problem-solving abilities set them apart from many other species.
As a human, you are gifted with an innate capacity for learning and adaptability, allowing you to swiftly adjust to new circumstances. Physically, you are resilient, boasting a high level of endurance which can prove beneficial in challenging situations.
Humans are celebrated for their cultural diversity, with a vast array of languages, traditions, and customs existing within the species. Your human character might hail from a specific community with its own unique traditions and values, or they could be a wanderer at heart, traversing the outlands to soak up a myriad of life experiences.
Physical Description
Human physical attributes encompass a wide spectrum, often influenced by the geographical ancestry of the individual. These characteristics can range from skin, hair, and eye colours to height, weight, and body types. As a player, you are granted a full creative licence to craft your character's appearance as you see fit. However, it's essential to note that these physical traits do not affect your character's abilities or performance within the game.
Subspecies
Extensive studies into human genetic variation have demonstrated that human populations are not geographically isolated, and their genetic differences are far more nuanced compared to those found among distinct alien subspecies. Consequently, there are no formally categorised Human subspecies in the game setting. The diversity among humans is celebrated and recognized, yet it does not translate into distinct subspecies as seen in other sentient species of the universe.
Average Life Span
Thanks to the integration of advanced alien medical technologies, humans in this era have seen their lifespans significantly extended. It's not uncommon for a human to live well beyond 125 years, remaining active and vital well into their early 70s.
Reaches Maturity
Around the age of 16 to 20 years old.
