Human

---

Humans are the most common and numerous race in the world of Elysium, present in almost each land and continent, coming in a large variety of different shapes and sizes.  

Limited Time, Limitless Potential

Regardless of their origin, all Humans bear the misfortune of having the shortest lifespan of all ruling races, reaching just shy of 100 years. Perhaps it is their limited time on this world which pushes each individual to explore, learn and experience as much as possible. Humans have the potential to learn and excel in nearly all walks of life, from art, combat, mysticism, science and everything in between. This potential is something that the Human race can boast above any other ruling race in the world.

Avalonian Humans

The Humans in the land of Avalon are spread out but all of them originate from one of the 5 Human Kingdoms in the North-Eastern region of the land.

Lioncross Humans

Lioncrosians or 'Crossers' as they are sometimes called, originate from the central Human Kingdom of Lioncross, the largest of the 5 and the seat of the Human King. Lioncrosians are people of faith and spiritual devotion, worshiping a number of gods with Holy Father Vox and Holy Mother Emara being the most popular and the "official" religion of the kingdom.    

Eagleblade Human

Eaglebladians or 'Eagles' as they are sometimes called, originate from the South-Western Human Kingdom of Eaglebalde, considered to be the wealthiest of the 5 and home to the famous(sometimes infamous) Merchant's Guild. Eaglebladians are a folk based on trade and enterprise, it is said that no matter the situation or environment, an Eagle will always find a way to make some coin. While it is not untrue that many such individuals would resort to less than savory means of earning their keep, the vast majority obtain their income as a fruit of their labor and skills, the Merchant's Guild valuing such individuals highly.    

Mystraven Human

Mystravians or 'Ravens' as they are sometimes called, originate from the North-Eastern Human Kingdom of Mystraven which consists mostly of port-towns and is known to be a haven to pirates, slavers, criminals and other less-than-honest individuals. Life in Mystraven is harsh and unjust, those who do not learn to hold their own will eventually end up living amidst the rats or in indebted servitude to others. For those who learn the 'tools of the trade', they will discover that a comfortable life is well within their reach even if they have to step on the lives of others in the process.    

Wolfkore Humans

Wolfkorians or 'Korers' as they are sometimes called, originate from the South-Eastern Human Kingdom of Wolfkore known for its military might and form of martial justice. A Wolfkore born-and-bred Human typically boasts considerable strength and martial prowess, said to be capable of going toe-to-toe with the strongest of Orcs. While many on the outside would be quick to judge the harsh law and perceived 'oppression' its civilians, there is no doubt that this military disciple has produced some of the finest warriors and soldiers of the land.    

Winterpeak Humans

Winterpekians or 'Winterers' as they are sometimes called, originate from the North-Western Human Kingdom of Winterpeak, a haven for mages and the mystically gifted. Magic is seen as both a common commodity and a mark of aristocracy in Winterpeak, the oldest families and houses known to have cultivated lineages of sorceress for as long as anyone can remember. Very rarely, an individual with vast, innate magical talent arises somewhere in the land. These individuals, known as Mageborns, are highly sought after by the Amethyst Council, an old order of powerful wizards and the ruling body of Winterpeak.    

Smerak'aan Humans

Smerak'aans are a race of Humans that originate from the Broken Smerak Isles, a cluster of small and large islands boasting an exotic environment consisting of tropical jungles and wast deserts. A typical Smerak'aan will boast darker skin color with either black, white or gray hair commonly braided and dreaded and decorated with an assortment of simple jewelry. They 'decorate' their features with a small number of simple golden piercings and rings as well as tattoos. The eyes of all Smerak'aans boast a dull grey-ish color, making it appear as if the individual would be blind though there are some who display a different coloration as a result of having a non-islander ancestor. There are very rare individuals who boast an odd, saurian-like pupil with an orange-gold iris, a mark of having some dominant genes of an old, believed to be extinct breed of Smerak'aans typically dubbed 'Imperial Smerak'aan' or 'Imperials' for short. Due to their bloody history, this trait is seen as a mark of shame and is considered to be a sign that the individual was born under a curse by more superstitious folk.   Aside from their exotic appearance, all Smerak'aans are born with a curiosity and love of exploration and riches, many becoming sailors, merchants and even pirates or slavers with the express intent of wandering and seeing as much of the world as possible and amassing sizable wealth in the process. Most are also quite flamboyant by nature, wearing colorful clothes and often speaking in a flowery manner, especially when speaking about their homeland and history of their people.    

Kyuudon Humans

Kyuudons, also known as Easterners or Kyuudon-Jin, are a race of Humans that hail from the distant lands of Kyuudon in the far East known for its history of isolationism and civil in-fighting which has left most of its regions in ruin. A typical Kyuudon-Jin boasts slender and sharp, almost Elf-like, features with pale, yellow-ish skin and dominantly darker hair colors which are in contrast with their bright and colorful eyes. They are often clean shaven or boast very little and sparse facial hair as it is considered a sign of aging and is often worn by elders. Women also typically keep their hair on the shorter side for the same reason and often displaying flowery decorations as a mark of beauty, long hair being common among older women.   While they maintain their natural features in a rather simplistic fashion, the Kyuudon-Jin keep their clothing in a much finer and neater condition, one's attire being seen as a reflection and symbol of one's inner self, "Clean clothes for a clean soul" as their expression goes. They often drab themselves in green and gold as they are seen as colors that bring luck, joy and success in life. Aside from their appearance, the Kyuudon-Jin are a tight-lipped and rather rigid folk, very rarely traveling outside of their homelands without reason and highly mistrusting of outsiders. However, when they do find themselves on foreign soil, they are highly respectful of the land's laws and customs and expect the same grade of respect in return for theirs, offending a Kyuudon-Jin is seen as a grave insult and it's not uncommon for them to demand reparation in the form of humble apologies or even satisfaction by combat.
