Humanity

"Stock Human" female.

In the AGD galaxy, **Humanity** makes up an overwhelming majority of the population, though there exist many different types of humans.

Before the 0 point on the timeline, humans hadn't existed in the galaxy as a race if at all. It wasn't until at the 0 point, Palatine Bedras was invited and imbued with incredible power. The moment of Bedragare's arrival was so significant to the turning point of the galaxy that it is recorded in the timeline as what separates the timeline, BBA (Before Bedragare Arrival) and ABA (After Bedragare Arrival). Five years after Bedragare's arrival, Emperor A222 is invited, alongside the entire ship that he was on when he was still in his place of origin, which included his personnel, most of whom were also imbued with great power, though none moreso than A222 himself. Eight years after Bedragare's arrival, Moorland The Mighty was invited and turned to a Demigod as well. As these three figures consolidated their power and spread their influence, they also spread their seed, resulting in the main three original human subraces, the Alpha Humans of the A222 that resulted in mating amongst the crew aboard A222's ship; the Bedraloda, who were the result of Alpha Humans breeding with the Kith, the society that predated the Bedran Marches; and the Norlander people. Further in-breeding and other climate adaptations resulted in other human subraces, such as the Mortales of The Metallus, though the genetic information related to this remains unknown. Otherwise are "Stock Humans", humans who have become so genetically tangled or adapted to normalcy that they have no special traits or are unrecognizable as any of the other races; they are completely average.

As Humans spread rapidly throughout the galaxy, they quickly became one of the most prominent and influential races, bringing with them also habits of technological advancement, the arts of war and various philosophical theories. Humans are known to be very proud, perhaps too much for their own good, and self-assured, though are recognized to be very arrogant and have a superiority complex about them.

## Alpha Humans

Also occasionally known as the A222 (though this could be confused with the Empire's culture), the Alpha Humans are known to be, on average, 6' in height, 70 kilograms in weight (if male), or 5'10", 60 kilograms (if female), dark-colored hair, fair-toned skin and usually live to around 100-200 years. Maturity is generally reached by 20, though sometimes later, with the age of legality on A222 worlds being 20. While males tend to have great muscle density, females tend to excel in having great levels of agility. A222 females are especially prized for their beauty. Most notable of the Alpha Human traits are attunement to Exus. The Exus is an ability or trait to control the metaphysical forces around an individual. Often it is recognized outright as magic. Some Alpha Humans, though still few, are born "Exus-Sensitive", and can use these abilities to use telekinesis, read minds, sense living entities, have a degree of precognition and a slew of other abilities. Most Exus-Sensitive Alpha Humans become a part of the A222 Empire's Nova Guard, a specialized branch of the A222 military that can train them in the various ways they can use the Exus, especially for battle.

## Bedraloda

Bedraloda (Bedran, literally meaning "Bedras People"), also known as **Kith-Blooded**, are the human subspecies indigenous to the Bedran Marches. They are known for their physical diversity as well as the warrior culture that separates them from other human races, whom they categorize alongside aliens as Inyaloda (literally meaning "other people"). Despite being the only human subspecies with extensive alien ancestry, they tend to be aloof and xenophobic towards those they perceive as Inyaloda. Ironically, to some, this includes the Kith race who birthed them. The Bedraloda are incredibly diverse due to centuries of selective breeding and gene therapy, but *broadly* Bedraloda tend to be taller and stronger than stock humans, though not to a superhuman level. When a Bedraloda comes of age, they are augmented. This process is known as the Brevet, where a Bedraloda is given extensive biochemical and genetic enhancements that result in physiologies that match or exceed Alpha Humans. Fully augmented Bedraloda are known to run up to sixty kilometers an hour, lift three times their body weight, react to stimuli near instantaneously and see in the dark. Bedraloda may optionally undergo further augmentations, though these are highly variable and are not as complex as the Brevet.
Brevet-matured Bedraloda men tend to vary between 6'4" to 7'2" in height and 65kg to 117kg in weight, while females average 5'11" to 6'10" and 58kg to 95kg. Skin complexion varies from human tones towards green, blue and red shades as a result of their Kith ancestry, with matching hair tones.

## Norland People

The Norland People, compared to the Alpha Humans and Bedraloda, are closer to stock humans in height and weight, though are distinct more in their habits than genetics. Genetically, Norland people tend to have bright brown hair to sharp blond shades, green or blue eyes and fair to pale skin. Norland people also tend to have freckles, though not always. Their pale skin sunburns easily. Habitually, Norland people are known to be especially proud, or arrogant, depending on who you ask. They specialize in military conduct and command, with the Norland Imperium being known to have an incredible and dangerous naval force. Norland customs are known to be especially high-class, and strict. It is an infamous stereotype that Norland peoples' teeth are crooked or poor in quality and hygiene.

## Mortales

The Mortales of The Metallus are known to be shorter than the other main subraces, being closer to stock human height and weight variables. Mortales are known for their resilience and adaptation with performance-enhancing drugs and genetic alterations (except for the Brevet, which is gene locked to the Bedraloda and will kill any other race). Mortales tend to have tan to fair skin, high muscle density for their weight (making them appear quite stocky), brown, green and blue eyes, dark hair colors and grow hair rapidly and at great lengths, especially body hair for men. Mortales are known to grow great, curly beards and hair as a cultural mark to recognize their age and/or status; Metallus military conduct encourages their soldiers not to cut their hair or beards.
