Humans

Humans make up the bulk of population within Alemdas.

In the eyes of all the other races, humans are viewed to be quite weak and rather easy to kill; comparable to mere babies in the grand scheme of things. Especially when compared to some of the other races, and even the animals, that live within Alemdas. Because of this, they have turned into quite the adaptable race of people; easily shifting from one scenario to the other without much of a hassle.

## Culture

Humans are said to be the most adaptable and ambitious out of all other races.

They are also the one race that has the most variety. No human is quite the same. They all have varying tastes, morals, and customs; coming from all sorts of different lands and backgrounds. While their lifespan is relatively short compared to others, the Human race tends to do a rather good job of carrying over tradition, as well as preserving it. That being said, Humans tend to live very much in the present. It's constantly go go go with them. Being so weak and fragile, compared to the world around them, they focus on what they have right in front of them in the moment.

This mindset makes them quite the perfect type of adventuring! There's perhaps not a stretch of land that doesn't have a member of the Human race on it. While they do tend to love traveling and seeing what the world has to offer them, Humans tend to settle down whenever they can inhabit and thrive. While they don't think or dwell too much on the past, they are constantly fixated on the future. They want to have it all planned out, down to the very tee. They all hope to leave as lasting legacy behind them.

## Mixing of Races

Because Humans are such big travelers and adventures, many of them will -- more often than not -- having a bit of mixing within their blood.

The most common type of mixing within other races tends to be with Elves and Orcs. That's not to say there isn't other mixing going on, but these tend to be the ones you see the most often!

Half-Elves.

* Half Elves find themselves in some weird in between. While one half is out of this world, and the other is quite stuck in it. It's a strange in between. To a Human, they appear more Elf like. And to Elves? They appear more Human like. In all honesty, Half-Elves will find more solace and acceptance among Humans. That's not to say that Elves won't accept them though! They might find more resistance coming from the High Elves, but other than that, they fit right into the odd in between, grey area.
	+ **Traits of a Half-Elf:** They are some strange in between. Some might take more after their Elven side, and others might take more after their Human half. Either way, there are traces of both to be found. Male Half-Elves, unlike pure Elves, are able to grow facial; some often do so if they desire to hide their Elver half. Their ears do tend to be a bit in between

#### Half-Orcs.

* It's not very often Orcs and Humans mix together, but sometimes they do. Whether between close living spaces, or just from a fling, Half-Orcs are more common than most might think. Half-Orcs tend to be more readily accepted compared to their full blooded Orcs counterparts; especially if they appear more Human than Orc. That being said, there's still some stigma held around them.
	+ **Traits of a Half-Orc:** Most Half-Orcs have a slight greyish pigmentation to their skin. They often carry a slight sloping forehead, mimicking the frowning looks pure bloods have. They tend to more muscular than the average human, often ending up towering over their Human parent. Though the thing that gives them away the most are the notable tusks. Unlike Half-Elves, the Orc genes can be quite prominent within a Half-Orc and there's always some type of indication that gives their lineage away.
