Human

Humans are one of the prominent races in the Fantasy Impromptu series. As the dominant species on Earth, humans found their way into Vanaheim some time in the distant past, and have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to establish their presence on the continent.

Biology
Humans are an adaptable species with a fairly robust physiology, and have internal body structures and reproductive processes typical of most bipedal mammals. Humans have been described, in comparison to other Vanir races, to possess average physical attributes: strength, dexterity, speed, although some outliers exist (e.g. Guillaume with extreme muscular hypertrophy), and can possess a wide range of physical variations within their species. Males average 1.77m in height and 74kg in weight; females average 1.65m in height and 58kg in weight. At some point in human history, however, various sub-races have co-mingled and produced offspring, producing a narrowing of recessive genetic traits such as ginger hair, or blue or green eyes.

For reasons unknown to medical science, humans are below-average natural conduits of dimensional energy (known as magic), and it is not uncommon for humans to undergo extensive, specialised training before being able to control and harness magical abilities; even then, they typically require the aid of numerous devices such as magical loci.

Ethnicities
Due to their previous racial diversification on Earth, various humans still possess what is known as sub-races. These may take the form of pre-Vanaheim sub-races, consisting of the ethnicities of their ancestors on Earth and their various intricacies: e.g. Chinese, French, Nigerian. Alternatively, humans may adopt the ethnic classifications given by their locale on Vanaheim: e.g. Lucian, Nivian, Viridian.
