Character Overview
 
When Istara – the Goddess of Creation – created her celestial anchor upon the Prime in the form of the world, she realized that she would need a hearty cadre of beings dedicated to her aim of creating an extension of the Realm of Dawn upon the Prime. She also realized that these beings would need to prosper under the most adverse climes and conditions without her direct intervention. This is the legend of the creation of the race of Humans. It is widely accepted that the Humans were one of the first races of Istaria, though several other cultures choose to emphasize this point as little as possible. Most legends surrounding the geneses of the other Living Races tell of their creation by various deities in response to Istara’s creation of the Humans. Humans are an outgoing and social people; they have amicable relations with most of the other Living Races, and have recently bridged some of the rifts existing with races they had been at odds with in times past. The Human history of Istaria illustrates not only the great potential of the Living Races to create a utopia, but also the potential they have for self-destruction.

It was a single act of Human self-sacrifice that gave the Living Races of today a fighting chance against the onslaught of the Withered Aegis. It was also a single Human’s lust for power that brought the world to the brink of oblivion. Thus, Humans represent the extremes of civilization and the unpredictability of existence that makes prognostication of future events nigh impossible.

Physiologically, Humans are often used as a measuring stick to compare the various living races. They stand on average six feet tall, with the female of the species standing slightly smaller. Humans possess average musculature, but they have the ability to enhance their physique through physical conditioning so that it is much more muscular and powerful. They are soft-skinned, but their skin has a natural resilience to the elements.

Humans are bipedal, able to move at great speeds using their legs. As the “Children of Istara”, Humans are known for their tremendous survivability and adaptability, even under the least hospitable of conditions.

Humans are quite versatile and adept at many fields of endeavor, though they tend to gravitate towards scholarly and arcane-oriented pursuits.
