"Imagine a soldier who gets up every time they are knocked down, refusing to submit despite broken bones and punctured lungs. A soldier who will chase his retreating foes to the point of exhaustion. A soldier who can recover from mortal injuries in a matter of days and be ready for the frontlines again. Such a soldier would be an asset to any company. Now imagine a full battalion of them. What a war they could wage." \- [[Thergian von Dommel]], selling their Human mercenaries in [[Kenor]] --- # Introduction Humans are a rather rare heritage, a minority in almost every culture. They are known to be loud and violent, but are remarkable in their resilience. ## Physiology Humans stand between 1.5 and 2 meters. Unaided by inner mana, Humans typically rely on the senses for their survival instincts. This makes them especially reliant on extensive physical experiences to predict and react to their environment. As such, they are particularly vulnerable to movements they are unaccustomed to, more so than other heritages. Humans typically live shorter lifespans than other folk, with their bodies typically giving way at the age of 100. It is not unheard of however, to find humans that have lived 150 or even 175 years of age. ## General Culture Most Humans typically travel in merchant or mercenary bands in small groups of ten and fifteen. Some settle in small neighborhoods in larger cities. They are typically poorer folk, and don't hold much sway over the world's culture. # Statline Entity Types: [[Entities|Folk]], [[Entities|Nirvial]] [[Size and Weight]]: Medium, Middleweight [[Move|Speed]]: 12 meters [[Vulnerabilities and Resistances|Resistance]]: [[Entities|Arcane]], [[Damage|Blunt]], [[Damage|Crushing]], [[Damage|Slashing]] [[Vulnerabilities and Resistances|Vulnerabilities]]: [[Entities|Undead]], [[Entities|Reptilian]], [[Entities|Aquatic]], [[Entities|Winged]] +1 [[Constitution|Vitality]], +1 [[Constitution|Stamina]], +1 [[Constitution|Vigor]] [[Mana Void Spirit]] [[Superior Sweat]] [[Resilient Recovery]] ## Optional Facets - [[Determination]] Humans have a tendency to try harder when their odds of success diminish. - [[Relentless]] Being the only [[Heritage]] without [[Mana]] within them has lead humans to have an intense level of [[Cathexis]] power over their body, leading them to accomplish otherwise impossible feats - [[Persistence]] - [[Conviction]] - [[Indomitable]] - [[Tenacity]] - [[Disciplined]]
