Mortal

**Mortals** are the inhabitants of the Human World. They are the people who live on the Earth, who are also susceptible to any supernatural creature.

## Description

### Anatomy

A mortal's anatomy is the same as any other human being. They have a head, neck, torso, arms, legs and other body parts. Mortals also have a nervous system and internal organs such as the heart, lungs and brain. Every mortals come in all shapes and sizes and come from different ethnic and racial backgrounds, with different skin tones, hair color and eye color.

Mortals are sexually reproducing organisms, meaning that in order for a new individual to be created, two individuals of different genders must come together to form a new set of genetic material. This new genetic material is then passed down to the offspring, who will continue the cycle of sexual reproduction.

Mortals have a natural growth rate and go through several stages of life, from infancy to adulthood, and eventually old age. They are born, grow up, learn, and eventually die, passing on the knowledge and wisdom they acquired in life to the next generation.  Mortals are unable to achieve immortality through natural means, but some mortals may seek to achieve it through magical means. It is said that some mortals have gained immortality through the use of powerful magic, although there is no record of any such cases.

### Behaviour

Mortals have a wide range of behaviour and psychology, ranging from altruistic and compassionate to selfish and destructive. They have the capacity to make choices, and the ability to learn from their mistakes.  Despite this, many of the humans in the town of Dreamville suffer from "Sunnydale Syndrome", a condition that causes people to be oblivious to the supernatural aspects of the town, unable to see beyond the mundane. This inability to recognize the true reality of Dreamville has led to a lack of awareness and understanding of the strange and peculiar occurrences that take place in the town, leaving its inhabitants vulnerable to the influence of the supernatural.

## Powers & Abilities

The primary abilities of every human being include adaptability and versatility. For the most part, humans are outmatched by supernatural beings and are most often defeated whenever confronted by a superior creature. However, some humans have been known to utilize tools and weapons and have managed to succeed in a supernatural combat. Therefore, as a means of survival, most humans must rely on intelligence, research and teamwork in order to prevail.

Since they are completely ordinary, they have the potential to become another creature, such as:

* A **vampire** is an undead being with the supernatural strength and near-mindlessly impure instinct associated with monsters while at the same time retaining human intelligence and even capable of romantic emotions
* A **werewolf** is a human who suffers from an infection-like curse which transforms said human into a wolf-like beast during the nights of the full moon.
* A **witch** is a human has the power to affect change by magical means, selling their soul to a demon or as a factor of heredity.
* A **sage** is a human who are born with psychic and spiritual abilities.
* A **ghost** is the spiritual manifestation of a deceased human that stays on Earth when the spirit refuses to pass on due to unfinished business.

### Weaknesses

* **Mortality** - Their physical strength wanes once they reach old age. They are vulnerable to diseases, and any form of physical harm, (e.g. age, decapitation, nlood loss, broken neck, fire, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, etc).
