Humans (Alaraes)

Humans are the dominant race on Alaraes and come in a variety of flavors, from the tall and severe in Reiben, to the humble and welcoming of Kaldar, to the stout and stoic of Qokon. Humans flourish in almost all environs of Alaraes and are known to choose environments to settle to which they are poorly suited. Many of the humans of Alaraes sport some small physical trait of other species found on the continent, from a hint of tusk granted by an Onigre grandfather to a slight sheen of chromatic color from a dragonborn mother. Humanity lacks a monolithic culture and are excellent social chameleons.

Jealous by Nature

Humans tend to idolize and envy traits in other races that they lack themselves. This jealousy is expressed by an intense need to compensate for their perceived inadequacies. A human will use any means available to even the playing field between themselves and another race, from magic to technology. A human will use magic to grant themselves a dragonborns’ breath weapon, armor to replicate a steelborns' toughness, and cybernetics to grant themselves a Kree-anthas dexterity. As such, cybernetics, intentional mutation, and other “enhancements” are far more prevalent among humans than in other races.

A World Apart

Most races in Alaraes keep humans somewhat at arm’s length. The things that an Ilkoran would find acceptable during polite dinner conversation may have you thrown handily out of a Reibinian household, and a simple greeting gesture in one town may insult an entire lineage in another just a few miles away. Humans have no single culture, no monolith of ideals. Simple interactions must be approached with caution nor even a commonality in speech
