Humans

**Humans** are a sentinent species on the planet Euclid. Before the Great War, they were the dominant species of the planet, however their population has been drastically reduced by the conflict between demons and angels upon their arrival from Eden.

## Biology and Appearance

Humans are bipedal mammals with two arms and two legs. On average, they can be five to six feet tall, and their skin ranges from light to dark shades. They appear very similar to angels, albeit lacking wings and possessing greater sexual dimorphism.

## Background

Humans were originally created millennia ago, by the Power Xeren. Humans were informed of the other Powers by Xeren, but unusually he did not demand that they be worshiped. Some religions dedicated either the various Powers (such as the Lordists and Nirvanists) or only Xeren (such as the Communion of the One God) were formed nonetheless.

An ancient Munese civilization had contact with the Dream Eaters before their arrival on Euclid. Xanvi requested King Nzulk create Research Station Tzapotl, to which he obliged. This station would eventually become Statodnim, the headquarters of Xanvi's organization on Euclid.

The ancient Nuyovian King Alexander believed himself to be a Power, which many believed due to the incredible reach of his empire. However, his death and the failure of his empire under the reign of his son Aegis brought an end to his religion. This lead to a period where objective analysis of reality manipulators began to gain favor over worship. The Alexander and Aegis classes were assigned to Powers and Ifriti respectively to mockingly compare them.

In the immediate decades before the Great War, humans had created many incredible feats of technology, including the androids developed by Alchemilia Corporation and Wellington Robotics. Immensely powerful weapons of war were constructed to serve the various human armies during their wars with one another, such as atomics.

Cicero lead the demon army to Euclid, hoping to find the reincarnation of his father and restore his separated soul. The Nuyo-Dyavol Coalition was formed between the demons and human governments willing to submit to Cicero's rule, although many human countries refused these terms. Members of the Free Demons movement were allowed to terrorize the territories beyond the Coalition's reach.

Gabriel I and Bea Arsene were able to bring the Sabaoth, the angel army, to Euclid through a wormhole. They had expected the combined human and angel forces could defeat the Coalition. The Sabaoth instead refused to properly collaborate and were overall ambivalent towards loss of human life.

## Society and Culture

Currently, the majority of remaining humans live under the rule of the Nuyo-Dyavol Coalition or Global Union. These organizations seek to provide protection against the Free Demons and Sabaoth. Humans in Coalition territory live alongside demons. Although still rare, these countries have the highest populations of Tieflings. Union-controlled areas tend to be almost entirely human-exclusive, although Sabaoth defectors can take refuge among them. What Nephilim exist mostly live among them.

Some smaller organizations such as the Ackerman Militia offer refuge to humans independent of either superpower. Their acceptance of other species and hybrids varies by group.
