Humans

Humans are pretty intelligent. Having the second biggest brain size to body size ratio, giving 30% of humans access to mana - also the second biggest statistic among Gaeians. They are known for their quick thinking, increased chances of accessing mana, and are capable of adapting to certain environmental instances. They however are very vulnerable to a lot of things in the world. Their skin is the most sensitive of all land dwelling sentient races, making them in need of a lot of protection. As what is said however, they are quick to adapt, so humans can be more tolerant of certain situations if they are exposed to them enough. An example of this is developing scars for healing, blood clotting, muscle regeneration and growth, and many more. Furthermore, they are one of the most physically weak races, but their intelligence, stamina, and adaptability is what makes them the most dominant race in the world.

Humans are known as the most flexible race in the known world. It is hard for scientists to sometimes pinpoint what constitutes a human from other races such as orcs, elves, and dwarves sometimes. However, this document shall show the main distinction as to what a human is, and what is not.

Biology

Humans have their distinct characteristics that separate them from other races, One obvious trait is their bipedal structure compared to quadrupedal races such as Centaurs and Cervidians.

They also lack the pointed ears that elves have, and their noses are not as big as dwarves. Hair structure is also not as thick as most races. Their DNA is the most flexible of all races, making them the easiest to crossbreed with.

They are known to have the second highest amount of mana connection by a small margin compared to elves, with 10% of their population knowing how to use magic. With this however, there are certain ethnicities that one must learn when it comes to humans.

Humans have a great evolutionary power in sweating, more greatly than other Gaeians. This gives them a shorter time to replenish their stamina. They also tend to be very smart, making advantage of their large brain to body size ratio. Furthermore, humans have a faster healing time compared to other races, although their skin is one of the most sensitive out of all.

Notable Body Parts

As expected from Gaeians, they have the Gaeian eye, which is pretty average in its perception, but terrible when it is night time. Other than this, there are no other notable body parts.

Ethnicities

Draelic

Also known as ‘Selyrian Northerners’, they are found mostly in the colder areas of Selyria. Their skin is usually white or fair white in color, while their hair is mostly brown, black, ginger, or blonde.

There is a good amount of Draelics that have elvish ancestors. People in this ethnicity usually hail from places such as North Castle, Hrothgar, Hreinngar, Ravena, Drasek, Karthus, Trost, and Vontur.

Pertusi

The Pertusi are an ethnicity common among the southern part of Selyria, they are a light skinned ethnicity that have a hint of brownness in them. Unlike their northern ancestors, they are a bit shorter on average.

They usually hail from nations such as Porthos, West Arkasios, Vontur, Sicarius, and slaves from Sentora, but some can also be found in the north.

Sub-ethnicities among the Pertusi

Redian

In a small town in the Atresian Region known as Redia, there is a sub-ethnicity present there known for their white hair and lighter skin. Notable members of this sub-ethnicity are The High Priestess, and Empress Alice Valentius. They are known to have a higher chance of connecting to Mana compared to other ethnicities, which is why Atresians hold them in high regard.

High Arkasian

Porthosian slaves who mixed with the Duskalian natives created a curly haired sub-ethnicity of Pertusi. Surprisingly, some SUV Consciebiologists theorize that they even have both Sarang-Ganese and Sulharian genes in them.

High Shiniyan

One of the most common people found in Shiniya. They are known to have smaller and more squinted-like eyes compared to other races, and tend to have lighter skin similar to Draelics. They are more common in Kononagari, Northern Xin’Jang, Cho-Seon, and Irtsursk.

They are known to have black hair only, and will have black or brown eye color.

Low Shiniyan

Common in The Milana Sultanate, Whanganui, and D’hartha, there are almost no people in their ethnicity found in Selyria at all. However, through recent discoveries, it is seen that they are known to be brown skinned with green or light brown eyes, with a flat nose and brown-black hair.

Some are known to have curly hair, but most are known for their light brown eyes.

Sub-ethnicities among the Low Shiniyan

D’harthian

After being colonized by Sulhari, most D’harthians developed a sub-ethnicity that are known to have both squinted eyes and sharp noses, although unlike their counterparts, they can only have straight black hair.

Whanganuian

An ethnicity with a larger spleen than others making them more adept at swimming and sailing. They usually have black curly hair, and will have a larger body mass than most humans. They are known to be the result of a mix between the Milanese and the Duskalian Empire of Tenohuatl. They are found in the Tribe of Whanganui. Most have dark brown hair.

Sarang-Ganese

An ethnicity with a mix between a Milanese, Sentoran, Duskalian native, and a Caedian, making them a unique blend between the 4 people, giving them a sub-ethnicity of their own. They still have their squinted eyes and flatter nose, but they are not as flat as most Shiniyans.

They are the one of the lighter skinned people of the Shiniyans, but their land is not in Shiniya. They are found in The Sultanate of Sarang-Gani.

Tarqari

Known for their brown skin, and sharp noses, they are the most common ethnicity found in Ibernus, especially in Sulhari and Caedia. Although some can be found in Selyria, most of these are tradesmen, Porthosians, or families of both. Most Tarqari people live in Caedia, Sulhari, Southern Porthos, and Southern Sarang-Ga

Uvatu

The Uvatu are an ethnicity of dark skinned people known for their highest connection to mana. An abnormality of 30% of Uvatu people tend to be born with a natural connection to mana. Many SUV Scholars argue that it is due to their environment being close to the Great Beyond of Ibernus, although that is still yet to be tested. Furthermore, most human mage teachers and instructors tend to be Uvatu.

This does not mean that they are simply a magical ethnicity. Uvatu people live in Caedia, Sulhari and the Great Beyond of Ibernus. It is unclear why some Uvatu mages go to the great beyond, but it is theorized that there is a secret mage order guarding the south of Ibernus.

Furthermore, thanks to Caedian Wyverns and West Arkasios Arships, The Uvatu can be found in almost all areas of Selyria, Duskalia, and Ibernus. They tend to have dark to very dark skin, and can have black or brown hair.

Sub-ethnicities among the Uvatu

Esresi

The Esresi are a rare sub-ethnicity found in the Port Town of Daedriu. Having red hair is extremely uncommon in the world of Gaeia, but they are the only known people who have this trait. Other than this, there are Esresi tribes known to patrol the Great Ibernian Desert, who ride Wyverns and pick out travelers for loot.

Pharashian

Pharasians live in southern Caedia, and are well known for their curly dark hair. They are heavily respected in Caedia, as a lot of them become manaborns, and graduate as mages to maintain the Great Caedian Pyramid. Their ethnic territory of Southern Caedia and Eastern Ibernus makes them a distinct people in Ibernus.

Ivrito

The Ivrito people are known by Selyrians as 'The Hairless Sparks' for their striking brown eyes and baldness. Both men and women are known to have no top hair, and genders are typically known by facial hair. However, they are also known to have the strongest connection to mana. They are known to be the thinnest of the Uvatu people, and 60% of their population being able to control magic. They often live in Eastern Ibernus.

Cotava

Known as the most mysterious race out of all. There was only one account of someone seeing a person from the Cotava ethnicity and it describes a woman with very dark skin and hair as white as snow. The researcher also describes her as having striking yellow eyes and wearing a mix of dark cotton and shiny steel buttons. Although much more is needed to look into this, SUV researchers theorize that they come from The Great Beyond of Ibernus.

World Builder's Note: You cannot play as this ethnicity.

Duskalian

With such a small knowledge that the SUV has when it comes to Duskalia, it is hard to pinpoint what constitutes a Duskalian from a non-Duskalian. However, recent records have suggested that the biggest factors in being a Native Duskalian is having slightly squinted eyes, bigger lips, and a broad nose. Much research is still needed, but this is the only research found so far.

Racial Slurs

Medium Slurs

Flesh Monkey

A slur that is common. It's not that offensive to most humans, and is often used to call a human 'primitive'.

Wetskin

Originated from the dwarves of Ulfenheim, it describes how humans sweat a lot compared to the other races.

Heavy Slurs

Foran

Originated from Sicarians, it was a term used to diminish human slaves in their empire. Although new, the scars of the great orc war make Selyrian humans extremely uncomfortable when being called a 'foran'.

Skink

Similar to the animal of the same name, this is often used by centaur slavemasters of Sentora to describe their slaves.
