Humans

A Human’s main focus as a species is to grow and expand. They build civilizations and expand from there as much as they can. For this reason, Human settlements are usually larger than average and lacking in diversity of other humanoid species. Humans invented firearms, and introduced technology to the Realms of Turriel, shaping the way others exist in the world. More often than not, if there are vehicles and technology present, there is a human involved. They speak their own form of language, a language that sounds confusing to other species, but seems to make perfect sense to Humans, showcasing their unique communication style. Members of this species will live for around 90 years, reaching full maturity around the age of 25. A healthy middle-aged human will weigh between 60 and 90 kilograms, reflecting their physical diversity and adaptability.

World Knowledge

Most of the Humans residing on the continent of Sarkenza inhabit the South Eastern country known as Ularia. Central Ularia acts as a neutral territory under Ularia's governance. Journeying eastward reveals an increasing Human population, leading to Northern Ularia where a bustling city thrives, dedicated to Calvar, the God of Destruction. The grandest Temple in all of Sarkenza dedicated to Calvar stands proudly in the city of Calvia, nestled within a crater formed by Calvar himself during his clash with Nveryll, the deity of Chaos, post-Empyrean War. Heading south, past a vast mountain range, lies Southern Ularia, housing the Human capital city of Yu’Umbreal. Before reaching the capital, travelers may encounter the Tower of Zitarus, a prestigious magical institution guided by the elite spellcasters known as the Scarlette Storm. Headmaster Eizon Zinra, born during the Reign of Trelucion, is among a handful of individuls who have mastered Ancient Magic. The Scarlette Storm also serves as military support if required by Ularia, otherwise focusing on sharing their knowledge at the Tower. Further South is Yu’Umbreal, resting at the southernmost tip of the continent within a lush jungle on an island. As a result of the Empyrean War, Humans sought refuge here and erected Avella, a splendid structure sheltering the Ularian High Council led by the youthful yet sagacious Ilian Levas. Being one of Sarkenza's four great cities, Yu’Umbreal thrives as the technological hub of the world.

The Meta Game

Let’s talk about game mechanics.

  • Humans are considered as Medium sized entities, that gain no bonus to their base Movement stat.

  • They gain a +2 modifier to their Mechanics and Engineering skills

  • They are efficient with pistols and bolt action rifles.

  • Humans can speak Human and any one other language.

    When it comes to leveling, Humans will do so faster than any other Race. They synergize best with the Soldier and Skillful Adventurer Classes.
    Soldiers are efficient with a variety of fire-arms, as well as bonus skill points in Mechanics and Engineering. This will give you a +7 to any rolls you make using these skills at level 1. When a +10 in a skill is considered as great, a +7 is a nice start.
    Skillful is the easiest Adventurer Class to level. That, paired with the fastest leveling Race means a Human Skillful will advance very quickly. This will typically mean that your Stats will be higher than the rest of your party. This is also the simplest Adventurer Class to learn. If you are new to Table Top Role Playing Games and just want to test the waters, this would be the great Race/Class combo for you.
