Person

A person is a liminant being that has a body and a sapient spirit. People typically gather together first by kin and then by resources. Through the ages, after sufficient time, climate, and resources people tend to group tightly into built up areas and the mixing of kins is more prevalent. Small built up areas are a called villages, larger ones called towns, and walled or very well established and prominent ones called cities.
