It is said that humans were the first race to exist in Calamia. Humans are the most diverse, adaptable, and determined people among the common races. Humans have no particular alignment, not even neutrality. The best of the best and the worst of the worst can be found among humans.
Physically full-grown humans typically range in a variety of heights, weights, frames, and looks. Some could rival elsyven with their dainty physiques, while some are as thickly built as ironwylde. They can have just about any body shape, height, or weight. Unlike elsyven, humans are prone to weight gain. Their skin colors can range from black as night to pale as marble, warm honey to rich brown, and every shade in between. Their hair and eye colors can be just about any shade. Some regions may have more common traits amongst groups of people, like hair, eye, and skin color. Cities tend to be more diverse, whereas villages, towns, and hamlets tend to have more commonality.
Humans are often the most unpredictable when it comes to appearance and fashion, some being conservative, others flamboyant or unconventional. Regional clothing and cultural differences among humans can create a varied tapestry of appearances. Sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and body piercings, the imagination holds no bounds for their creativity. Because human society and culture vary greatly from region to region it is difficult to describe their activities as a whole. Each nation has its own customs, laws, fashions, and even religions.
Humans are by far one of the most adaptable races in Calamia, being capable of living just about anywhere. From the hottest desert to the coldest mountains humans can be found in a variety of places. They also vary in how they affect their environment and how they interact with other races. While the majority of humans and human nations get along with other races, some do not. This can make relations with other races a bit tense or volatile.
Compared to other races humans have the shortest lifespan, however, they have the highest birthrate amongst all the races. This is why humans are the most populated race in all of Auraton. Humans reach official adulthood at 18, and magical maturity at the same age. Humans can live up to 120 years of age. However, humans are more susceptible to illness, disease, and the effects of aging on the body. This makes their maximum average lifespan realistically around the age of 70. Given their short lifespan humans tend to be in a constant state of activity, for a moment may be all they have. This leads other races to view them as hasty, reckless, and unruly.
Humans are also the only race capable of having children with nearly all other races, including those of Demonic origin, creating subgroups of humanoids called half-bloods.
