Humans are the most common sentient creature throughout the entire Multiverse. The human phenomenon lacks any real explanation, though there are many that would argue humans are the 'true sentients', moulded after the creator of the Multiverse itself. Although humans come in many shapes, sizes, breeds and creeds, there is also one 'sub-species' of the human branch that occurs most frequently. This branch of human is often considered 'normal', usually by these humans themselves, due to their numbers, making them the 'means' of any comparison. They usually come from a world named Earth, though the condition of this planet also changes greatly, and their most common tongue is English; which has become the universal language for many worlds across the Multiverse. This particular article refers, only, to the most common and 'normal' type of human.

Homeworlds
Earth
- Main article: Earth
Earth is a common planet seen throughout the Multiverse, it's frequency of appearance coinciding with the large number of Human life also seen. Earth is usually seen as the homeworld of the Humans, although it could be different universe to universe. Earth serves as the perfect model for terran planets, as it it is the only terran planet known in real life. It is also considered the 'standard' or the 'normal' planet from which many make comparisons.
Biology
Appearance
The average human being is made of a torso, two arms, two legs and a head. Hair normally grows mostly on their heads, the men, in particular, able to grow beards. They come in varying shades of colour, from white, to pink, to brown and black. Hair, likewise, can come in multitudes of colour, ranging from red to orange, to brown, black, white, yellow and more. Generally the female body is composed of water and fat, whilst a male's is leaner, built up on muscle.
Powers & Talents
Humans are renowned for their lack of innate magickal, or otherwise, powers. However they are also one of the most receptive to being infused with powers by unnatural means. They are, however, known to be one of the most imaginative and creative of beings, making advances in culture and technology by striving for methods around the physical laws of the universe they inhabit to achieve their dreams.
Society
Culture
Upon the standard Earth of 'normal' humans, the culture is often incredibly specific, narrowing down to individual towns or even smaller communities contained within the town. However it can be more broadly divided into the social climes of the East, West and South. Western culture is often stereotyped as capitalist, materialist and dominating. The East is often seen as traditionalist and communist. The South is seen as impoverished, dangerous and in need of constant aid.
Technology
The standard technology of the 'normal' human Earth is referred to as 'modern'. This modern age is considered to be on the cusp of the 'computer age' or even the 'cyber age'. It is when computers are a very progressive technology, the Internet dominates and much warfare is done from a great distance with rockets and precision bombing.
Language
Humans have many, many languages. Some are more distinct from one another than others, however it is the English language that dominates the planet and is considered the 'universal language' of Earth and also in much of the Multiverse. By using this one language, everyone can be understood without learning several hundred various languages.
History
Humans descended from apes through evolution and quickly spread across the planet. Their unique designed allowed them to take sentience and dominate the other creatures of the planet Earth. Since then humans have always tried to understand the world around them and what lies beyond it, religious beliefs shifting and changing over the many years of human existence as society's understanding of the universe developed. Technology and science soon replaced much of the earlier religious ideas, which, in essence, could be seen as early scientific beliefs. Now the planet stands on the cusp of the cyber or computer age as well as having designs on space.

Player Notes
This human page is for all those human characters that are 'normal', 'everyday' humans from a version of the 'real world'. This saves having many, many pages detailing the same thing over and over again. If your human character is very different from normal humans then they get to have their own page.
