Humans
Lifespan: Humans live around 70 to 90 years, though some individuals may live longer due to exceptional circumstances or magical intervention.
Humans are a versatile and widespread race known for their adaptability and ingenuity. They can be found in various cultures and environments across the supernatural world. With relatively short lifespans compared to some other races, humans make up for this with their resourcefulness and ability to rapidly learn and develop new skills.
​
Race Appearance:
Appearance wise, humans always look human, normal skin tones, normal height ranges and non magical body modifications. (Dyed Hair, Piercings, Colored Contacts). More fantastical things are definitely not a human appearance.

Survival Instinct
Humans have an innate fight or flight, giving them a chance at a gut feeling during combat with a supernatural.

Extra Abilities
Pick Five Abilities
Hacking
Capable of attempting to hack into anything from small personal to advanced companies or such. Personal hacks must be discussed oocly with the other player. Advanced hacks must have a dice roll and a storyteller present.
Technological Weapons
Skilled in using any weapons with electrical components.
Human Stubbornness
Likely due to everything that has happened to the race over the years of the war and just living in general, some humans have gained a stubborn resistance to effects that could compel or control them. This allows a human to resist any and all mind controlling affects aimed towards them, this effectively allows a human to roll twice and take the higher roll against a check if using dice.
Nullification
The ability to deflect or cancel the active powers of others. This can only be used once per combat or scene and can only be applied to ONE Power/Ability, the item can be destroyed to end this effect.
Prophetea
Historically, those with Prophetea were considered an oracle. Those with Prophetea can use any method they wish to divine the future. These are the individuals who are most likely to receive visions, or warnings, of present or future events.
NOTE: When doing readings for other players, CONSENT is paramount.
The ONE exception to this rule is when those with this ability receive Storyteller visions regarding another player.
- All players with the Prophetea ability will receive visions from the storytellers at random times.
- In the case of Sim-wide plots, those with Prophetea may, upon receiving Storyteller visions, submit tickets for additional information in the form of visions.
- All those with Prophetea may request visions for individuals they are doing readings for from storytellers.
- All those with Prophetea should discuss the potentials of their reading with their partner– ask permission, and get details the player is comfortable with sharing in a scene. If you are struggling, seek out a Storyteller.

The ability to sense the other races. (Technology Based)
Power Detection
Ability to detect the powers/abilities of other beings (Technological based)
Biocybernetics
The application of cybernetics to biological science disciplines such as neurology and multicellular systems. This gives the knowledge and ability to create frankenmonster or repair them much like a doctor to a human. By having this skill, they have the fear and mistrust of normal technology, such as, phones, televisions, computers, etc.
Dark Webber
