Racial Information�
Basic History
Humans are perhaps Mythus�s largest race. Not having been on Mythus as long as the other races, and having a short life span, humans have eagerly threw themselves into the limelight. Building large fortresses, creating kingdoms and empires faster than they can reproduce, the human race has had a vibrant history.
Positives/Negatives
Humans are innovative and upbeat
Reproduction
All humans come in three genders; male, female, and the rare hermaphrodite. Though males are slightly more numerous than females making 55% of the population, females come in at 43% of the population with their only being 2% hermaphrodites. A human will mate with the opposite gender of any race though are more likely to stick within their own race and color. That is due to their prejudice getting in the way of rational thought and emotions. Some attempt to mate within their own gender, however it is impossible to reproduce that way. A human pregnancy last around 280 days, which is on Mythus 28 weeks, or 7 months. There is a 15% chance for a preterm pregnancy, and a 20% chance for an over term pregnancy. Humans divide their pregnancy in three �trimesters� each lasting around 9 weeks. Humans have a 65% chance of conceiving, and during the first 9 weeks a 25% chance for a miscarriage. During the first trimester females will experience morning sickness, back ache and mood swings. There is a 12% chance the female will not experience morning sickness, and a 15% chance the female will be sick all day and all night. During the second trimester the female usually enjoys being pregnant. There is only a 10% chance that the female will still experience morning sickness. During the third trimester the female starts to feel contractions and very anxious. The pregnancy ends with a labor that can last either 4 hours or as long as 48 hours. There is a 30% chance the female will die during childbirth, and a 28% chance the baby will die at birth. There is a 35% chance of having twins, 15% chance of multiples, the number being decided by rolling a 1d8. There is also a 5% chance of having conjoined twins.
Lifespan
Humans have three stages of life. The first stage, which last from child birth until they reach the age of 13, is called their childhood. During this time they are completely dependent upon their parents for support, and are still developing certain skills needed for survival as well as their appearance as an adult human. The second stage, which last from 13 until 21 is their adolescence. It is at this stage in their life they begin trying to develop just who they are, and where they fit into this world. They also become anxious and seek more and more independence and tend to rebel against their parents. Though they are not yet considered full fledge adults, some leave their parents in this stage. Their final stage, adulthood, last from 22 until death. During this stage most humans are already separated from their parents but keep close relationships with them. They generally have become more matured and stopped their growing and developing by now. Their death can be painful or painless, and generally comes when they are in their late 80�s. There is only a 60% chance humans will reach their max age, and a 20% chance they will live longer (20% per additional year).
