Human

Description
Humans are much like us in the real world. The humans of Altis represent those of us from the Europeans and the New World in America mixed with some fantasy and use of magic. Humans are the most technologically superior to any other species, mainly because of them being the only species to use magic without any crystals.

Appearance
Humans, as said, are still like their real world counterparts.

Traits

 * Humans are able to use magic without the use of needing any magical item, like crystals, to supply mana. In fact, they use up their own life force as the mana. Hence, using too much magic at once for a Human can be fatal. This is very much unlike their Keidran counterpart, which need an external magical item to do anything.
 * Humans usually live up to the lifespan of the real-life counterpart, 70-80 years.
 * Humans are the weakest race physically but make up for that in innovation and intelligence.

Culture & Customs
Human culture is pretty similar to that of Americans in the 19th century. Except for there being magic and Keidran going around.
 * More than 70% of all humans openly hate Keidran. More than 40% of humans actually own a Keidran slave.
 * Humans commonly use mana crystals to power some small aspects of their lives, though most don't. Magicians use magic to light their fireplace or to light up a dark cave.
