Homebrew Elmoran Human Species Details

Across the world, everyone has heard rumors about the people who brave even the most deadly of lands. They can be found across the world, surviving and thriving.

Some people believe this is due to their bravery, but I see it for what it really is. Humans are stubborn to a fault. Often it can lead them to their doom, but it can just as likely lead to triumph. No matter the case, the race of humans will always survive.

--Yorik Stormwind, Professor of History

A Broad Spectrum

With their penchant for migration and conquest, humans are more physically diverse than other common races. There is no typical human. An individual can stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds. Human skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, and hair colors from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight); males might sport facial hair that is sparse or thick. A lot of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, revealing hints of elf, orc, or other lineages. Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and rarely live even a single century.
