Human Lineage

Human Lineage

Humans are one of the plainest lineages, but make up for it in sheer tenacity to be everywhere. Human populations can be found almost everywhere that isn’t openly hostile to life, and even in those places in smaller numbers.

Humans split the difference between the rougher natural build of dwarves and the slight frame of elves. With skin colors ranging from the darkest browns through extremely pale pinkish white. Eye color also varies in a range of browns, blues, greens, and grays. Humans also have a range of hair colors from nearly jet black to nearly white, going through shades of brown and red. Older humans’ hair begins turning gray or white as they reach their 40s and may be fully that color by 60.

Humans are very robust creatures, able to spring back from a blow easier than others, and able to go long lengths of time without tiring.
