What Makes a Human?
of, pertaining to, characteristic of, or having the nature of people: human frailty.
2. consisting of people: the human race.
3. of or pertaining to the social aspect of people: human affairs.
4. sympathetic; humane: a warmly human understanding.
In other words, a human is classified simply as that of a race which are predominantly mortal. A mortal who has a life expectancy and is separated from the realm of preternatural, and the laws, which define that of the otherworldly. Human beings, unlike some preternatural creatures, are capable of experiencing a full range of emotions and understanding what those certain emotions can mean. They can interpret those emotions plainly by the expression one wears, one exhibits; the casual tone of voice and gesture. A human, is not powerful, while at the same time, not completely powerless. There are some who are very capable of defending themselves and strong-willed to endure whatever comes their way. While others, to defend one's self, is a little more difficult, but thus, does not mean their will isn't great.
Human beings come in all walks of life and nationalities, color, and occupation. They are what build the life in the world. Doctors, nurses, educators, government, police officers, priests; the list continues on. The man contributors that make living that much easier on the rest of the race(s): no matter who they might be.
Humans are the backbone in the storyline, even as they are the minority now in the world. The human population is diminishing, as it is being polluted with the supernatural community; vampires, shapeshifters, paranormals. Some humans are unaware of these special and gifted individuals, while others have known of their presence for generations.
Characters have the sole option to start out human, a mere blank page, and work their way up to become something involved in the preternatural community. Humans, however, cannot develop paranormal powers over night. Humans can have various talents that range from cooking to accuracy in firing a gun to playing poker. These talents, whatever they may be, are exceptional in every way and could possibly assist the character in any given situation.
THE SPECIAL ONES
There are some people, whether they know it or not, that are able to see an Angel for what they really are. These people are rare, but not uncommon in the preternatural world. They are human with the gift of seeing an Angel's true visage, beyond the bright light without harmful effects. They can hear an Angel's true voice without taking any damages. The Angels often refer to these humans as "Charges" or "Prophets" who are connected and/or linked to the extraordinary Celestial body. If a human is considered a "Charge" often the Angel is guiding them toward some certain kind of destiny, the human has a purpose. Sometimes, the Charge can even be someone fated to become an Angel at the end of their life. A human who is fated to become an Angel is extremely rare. People who are known as "Prophets" are often an Angel's personal messenger. These Prophets are different from seers, as they can at times know the future, rather than predict it, or see it.
PIRATES
Pirates the kinds of people[/b][/i] who live their lives entirely on the sea, and are often judged quickly by the townspeople as being nothing more than thieves and murderers. While this case can be true, some pirates simply enjoy the lifestyle. Most pirates belong to a certain ship they help man and sail, going from port to port to collect or steal the goods from the people. Sometimes, their ships are initiated in unsuspect battle of cannon fire. If the pirate is experienced, they may even rise in rank to being a Captain of their own ship and crew. Pirates can be either male or female, young and old.
WENCHES
[/b][/size]The town's prostitutes crowd the walkways and linger in the taverns, hoping to make a little money for their services. They know and understand how the world works, how men work, and are experts at the art of seduction and getting exactly what they want. These lovely ladies can blend easily, often pretending to be of high society who wants nothing more than to rip off the rich man, and take his wealth for her own. One should always keep an eye on their wallet or purse, their winnings, when a working girl is around and getting awfully close to her prize.
