Human - Said to be the
oldest of the Companion Species, Humans are almost everywhere you
look.
Their physical appearance is fairly
plain. Most of the variances are due to several sub
breeds. They average a height of about one and a half to two
meters. Their hair color ranges from the darkest brown or
black to bright yellow, even white. Eye color ranges from
brown to green to blue. They are fairly hardy, and can adapt
to meet almost any challenge.
Not the most muscled race, they prefer on
average to advance whatever technology presents itself. They
have fairly acute minds and are excellent problem solvers.
Extremely curious about the world around them, they often seek
answers to seeming unsolvable questions, only to find out that the
answer was right in front of them the entire time.
For all these strength however, there is
this strike against them; many of them are extremely warlike,
territorial, and greedy; and it is these that usually end up in
power. This has led them to use a great deal of what they
learn to develop weapons of unimaginable destructive power.
Most humans though would prefer a nonviolent solution to dangerous
situations.

beautifulcaste system of

genuine questions of what it is to be alive. They have

spread.

fact have some ethereal properties.
