Humans

Ah, the human race. What can’t be said about them, really? Of all the strictly mortal races, they are perhaps the most evil, in their own way. Even more so than the Drow, with their mastery of deception, or Trolls, with their mastery of anything related to destroying peace and life, humans are known for causing strife and discord wherever they go. Some have described humans as a virus, constantly multiplying to spread their taint throughout the world, wherever they can survive long enough to build and breed. As a result, few humans are easily accepted into other cultures, as most races find them a hazardous influence, especially on their young. Humans themselves, on the other hand, are generally more accepting of other human-like races, such as dwarves and elves, though they are less likely to approve of half-bloods half-orcs, half-elves and the like. As for physical characteristics, their skin tone varies from white to nearly black-brown, and all shades in between, as well as reddish or yellowish shades, though red is rarely seen anymore. They are capable of learning physical or magical forms of combat and defense with equal proficiency, and they have the intelligence required for deceit, tactics and politics. In a way, Humans are the most well-rounded race, capable of doing nearly anything they set their minds on doing with a modicum of success. It is this hardy jack-of-all-trades nature that allows the human race to survive its own self-destructive tendencies, and even thrive, amassing fortunes and empires superior to those of many other races in their spread around the world.
