Human
Humans are bipeds hailing from the planet Earth. Humans can easily adapt to new environments. They are also very warlike and fearful of what they don’t understand. Centuries of questing for knowledge has dulled their animal instincts but has also begun to unlock psychic abilities. Forty percent of humans have one or more psychic abilities. Since vampires and cojaro population levels were so low during the awakening it is believed that humans were the true target of their abduction. Humans in general are fearful of vampires for their thirst and cojaro for their power.
The humans have adapted to almost every environment found in the world. While their numbers are in the minority in most places they are the most spread out of any species. The old Earth languages of English and Chinese are some of the more commonly spoken languages right behind Sharateese and Nazren. The most concentrated population of humans can be found in Alvanta. The census takers however do not count those people because of how many of them are clones and not naturally born.

Social: Humans at heart are warriors and explorers. They chase knowledge and accomplishments to the point of excess. Striving to outdo each other, they try to be the first or the best at everything they do. They tend to live in small family units and are often drawn to mostly human communities. Some of the larger shaross clans have also adopted human families into their fold. Humans are often victims of fashion obsession; though nowhere near as bad as vampires. Humans also tend to be deeply religious and many have chosen to follow the path of Kinja.
