Humans are one of the two sentient species that inhabit the world of Honarth. They were the first to arrive on the planet, appearing around 21,000 years ago. They originated from the Sea of Life, a massive ocean located at the south pole of the planet. The origins of the human species remains a mystery, but genetic similarities with the Cadonians suggest that they may have a common ancestor. Humans and Cadonians share the same culture and societal traits, and there is no segregation of species. While there is no inter-species reproduction between them, inter-species romantic relationships are normal.
Physical Description
Humans of Honarth are generally similar in appearance to humans found on Earth. They have a wide range of skin tones, hair colors, and eye colors. They are bipedal and have a similar skeletal structure as well. They are also known for their fast healing abilities.
Culture and Society
Humans and Cadonians share the same culture and societal traits, with no segregation of species. They have a diverse and advanced civilization on Honarth, heavily influenced by technology and the exploitation of the valuable mineral Elerium. They have a democratic government but it is corrupted by powerful corporations. They have a high standard of living but not as luxurious as the top level of the city.
History
Humans are the first to appear on Honarth, and have built a highly advanced civilization over the millennia. They have explored and colonized much of the planet, and have developed technology that is on par with the most advanced in the galaxy. They have encountered and interacted with the Cadonians, another sentient species that appeared on the planet around 12,000 years ago. Since then, humans and Cadonians have coexisted and formed a shared culture and society, with no segregation of species.
Role-playing and Character Creation
When creating a human character, players should consider their background, upbringing, and experiences. They can come from various parts of the society, from the criminal underworld to the high-end corporate areas. They may have connections to powerful corporations or government officials, or they may be just a common person trying to survive in a world controlled by them. Characters could also have inter-species romantic relationships.
Special Rules and Mechanics
Human characters may have access to certain advanced technology, such as cybernetic enhancements or advanced medical treatments, but these can also come with drawbacks or consequences.
For Game Masters
Humans are a versatile and dynamic species to play as in the Honarth RPG setting. They have a rich history and culture, and their advanced technology allows for a wide range of abilities and skills. Their shared culture and society with the Cadonians also allows for unique inter-species relationships and interactions. As Game Masters, it's important to remember the power and influence of humans in the world, as well as their own internal conflicts and rivalries. This can provide plenty of opportunities for adventure hooks and quest ideas. Additionally, the aspect of inter-species relationships can add an extra layer of complexity and depth to the story and characters.
