Homebrew Gerudo Species Details

Humans are the most common people found in Hyrule and its neighboring countries. In the ancient past, humanity was reduced down to only a few hundred individuals, but time has allowed them to flourish and fill all four corners of the world.
The Humans of the Legend of Zelda universe come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes, and color. There is no “typical” where it concerns humans. Size and weight will run anywhere from five to six feet in height, and anywhere between 120 to 300 pounds, with numerous outliers. There are, however, some regional differences.
Despite these differences, many humans share traits with two or more subraces, hinting at a time when these people were at peace.
Humans are one of the most adaptable races in the world. When the Cataclysm sank Hyrule beneath the Great Sea, humanity flourished on islands that were once mountaintops. When the sea fell away, humans returned to their old ways on the land in no time at all. Humans have varying tastes, customs, and behaviors, though there are some broad strokes with regards to the three subraces.
Traditionally the various tribes of Humans have governed themselves through monarchies and dictators on the higher end of society. The great and powerful are expected to do what is right for their subjects, and on the lower end of government the people of various cities, clans, and villages found their own favored form of self-rule, sometimes through village elders, and sometimes through real democratic rule.
With the century of change however, there is a growing sense of national identity among the various human collectives. This has led to at least one Republic at Lon Lon, and perhaps more on the horizon.
Being so diverse a people, is it any wonder that Humans possess the most varied reasons to adventure? Their reasons often echo the Triforce itself. Some seek power, over others or over themselves. Some seek out knowledge and mysteries, to expose, collect them, or manipulate others with them. And some merely have the courage to take up a cause that is greater than themselves to either save or doom the world.
