Humans

## Overview

Humans are a hardy race and quite adaptable, able to accept changes easier than the other races. They have made many pursuits in medicine and technology as well as sciences, often taking a thriving part in the world politics. Flaws of humans are they are short-lived, the shortest of all the respective races and they can be susceptible to not accepting others which usually leads to wars against each other throughout their history. Humans are nowhere near as superior as they claim to be over animals, in the food chain they are the prey of the supernatural and most have no idea that the supernatural races live among them.

Human pregnancy lasts nine months and weaning of children lasts from six months to two years, sometimes longer if they are in poor countries that are described as the third world. Human children are heavily dependant upon their parents, retaining their milk teeth until they are six years of age and considered children until they turn eighteen where they are then thrust into the world, sometimes without life skills or job experience. As Humans get more older, the retirement age tends to increase, currently it is at sixty-six years, however many humans find themselves trying to work until their seventies or death to make ends meet and then face age discrimination should they lose their jobs. As factory jobs become non-existent and labor goes overseas for cheap labor, humans are forced to migrate to other areas around the country in order to survive.

Elemental Weakness: Humans are vulnerable to their respective opposite element. Fire is weak to Water/Ice, Water/Ice is weak to Earth, Earth is Weak to Air, Darkness is weak to Light.

Speed=Humans are the slowest of the people of Ithawell but they make up for this in being quite agile little beings.

Endurance/Stamina=Humans tire easily and can only run for a maximum of 20 miles without stopping at 40 mph but this results in tiring out easily.

Disease/Sickness=Humans contract diseases quite easily and are prone to getting sick. In winter their blood gets weaker which is why it is prime time fo auctions for slaves.

Healing: Humans take a long time to heal and may take months to recover.
