Human

There's a reasonably strong chance that you, the reader, are Human. You might be a little extra-human, with mechanical improvements (glasses, a hearing aid, maybe some genuine replacement parts) but when things boil down, you are a homo sapiens. This isn’t to say that Humans are not diverse—there is a wide range of cultures and peoples across the worlds of O.L.D., N.O.W., and N.E.W.—but all of them have 10 toes, two eyes, and so on. Where you are from and who raised you influence your outlook on life more than anything else.

Human adventurers are extremely varied, from private eyes to blackhats, from knights to starship captains, from martial artists to doctors, from wizards to space marines — the world, indeed the universe, is at your fingertips!
