Human

General

Humans are the dominant race in Midgard. They live for about 85 years before they die of old age. Because of their short life span they tend to be very ambitious and Curious, they also seem very driven on producing offspring because of this. They have very little inter racial feeling of honour and respect and most of the small fry are destined to work their entire life just to stay alive. Somehow the human nature accepts this as unavoidable however.

Physical appearance

Humans are tall humanoids that have very varied appearances. Their skin colour varies greatly from region to region and so does the colour of their hair and eyes. The muscles on humans are more visible than on elves and fae but less than on the Utgardian races. They do not have large fangs and the men can have facial hair, but the woman do not. Their hair can be the length of elves or wavy or curly, or the men can be bold by nature. When humans grow old their skin gets wrinkled less than the Utgardian races but more so than the Asgardian races. They lose the pigment in their hair which gives the hair a grey colour.

Culture

Human culture is more practical when compare to Asgard or Utgard, Asgard because they sometimes tend to choose beauty of comfort and Utgard because they don't have the crafting skills or need for comfort. Human culture is driven by efficiency rather than effectiveness and they tend to choose for quantity above quality. Humans are also noted for their desire to understand and influence the world around them, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through religion, science, philosophy and mythology.

History

Full history of humans.

The human race evolved from a hunter-gatherer community to a community of nomads herding some animals and even later (when the lands we now call Midgard) where cultivated, they settled into permanent settlements.

Diet

Humans are Omnivorous , like most of the intelligent races of Heimr. Humans usually don't eat their meals raw.

Language

???

Art, music and literature:

Art music and literature (fiction) within Human (and mostly Midgardian) culture, highly concentrates on the extent of human nature. With other words, their themes revolve around things that you don't see every day, in fact, most humans never experience the things their exiting books, paintings and lyrics speak about. Therefore they seek it in fiction.

Magic

The human race has a moderate talent for magic, living equally far away from Asgard it's high magical discharge and Utgard it's magical devoid landscape their magical talents have a distinctive randomness to it. About half the human population has the spark needed to become a magic user but only a fraction of that actually peruses and practices this talent enough to do so. Magic in human society is seen as a handy tool that takes so much time to master that one should think hard and long before trying it. Humans do not have the amount of time the fae and elven have to learn this art and it generally takes almost half their lives of study before it becomes useful.

Religion

Humans generally worship Talor. They do not have a secondary god, because Talor was also the one that created the humans. Humans have a talent for adeptness though and more frequently than the other races make use of situational worship.
