Humans
Human Representing The Human Race Of People.
Description
Humans are an all purpose bland yet competent bunch of people who are neutral and average in every aspect. They have extremes of every spectrum which allow them to be decent at everything but specialize in nothing. They are found on every world in every place evolving rather simply from their ancient homosapian origins. While the primary animal which they eventually evolved from may change, they reach the same relative point. When magic was released onto almost all of the worlds it changed the humans living there and they began to change in subtle ways. On rare occasions they become changed into Minotaurous while in most other situations they become Terrans. Terrans are Humans who use magic and have higher resistances to illness and sickness with many of them getting sick only a few times in their lives. Genetically Terran bodies have undergone changes in their bones, liver, and heart which are different from normal humans. More information about the changes of the Terran body which covers 99% of the Humans in the Astarian Empire and vast galaxy can be found in their respective section. Minotaurous are a species which have their own unique traits and their information can be found in their respective section.
Species And Faction
Species:
There are 3 major species of Name that have been discovered and exist within The Astarian Empire.
Humans, Minotaurous, Terran
Humans:
While sparse and few humans exist in the primary galaxy of the Astarian Empire, much is left to be learned. Humans like their ancient magicless people or people of other galaxies are prone to all the normal traits. They generally stand to be 1.5-2 meters tall as a full grown adult and come in all manner of skin complexions due to the reaction of the skin and the melanin inside. They will be darker skinned the closer they live to the Equator Line of a world. They generally live on average 80 years and are easily prone to illness, sickness, diseases, and life altering injuries. (Maximum age changes based on the era and knowledge of the medical field. 20 years with no medical knowledge like in the world's ancient era. 40 with basic medical knowledge but no understanding of how blood and the body works like in a world's medieval era. 60 with the use of tools and equipment like in a world's industrial era. 80 with the use of electrical tools and equipment like in a world's industrial era. 100+ With the use of future or advanced level technologies like in an alien world ship or a futuristic environment.) Humans need all the normal medicines however there is only an extremely small supply as the main human in the Astarian Empire is Astar and all of his children are safe and can use magic to heal themselves.
Terran:
Terrans are larger, bigger, taller humans who can use and manipulate magic, on average they live 140 years and stand 2-2.5 meters tall as a full grown adult. They are genetically changed by the magic to be able to use and channel them. While their heart is larger and has a small gland which grows on the heart to release adrenalin into the heart causing it to pump harder and faster to increase the body's abilities. They run faster, jump higher, and recover quicker. Their bones are longer and thicker than normal humans.They have another type of bone marrow, Green Marrow Hormone Tissue. It functions by producing powerful hormone chemicals. Found mainly in the spine near the magic tendril, the Green Marrow will flow into the body at high intensive periods to further enhance the body. The liver is the most important organ of the metabolic system, but it also plays a role in almost every other organ system. It helps convert nutrients into usable substances and filters blood coming from the digestive tract through a vein before it joins venous blood flow from other parts of the body. Oxygenated blood reaches the liver by an artery. While this is standard in regular humans in terrans it also filters poisons and toxins breaking them down and creating a boosting chemical which increases the production rate of the heart and its glands ability to create adrenalin.
Minotaurous:
Mainly referred to as Minotaurs, are a group of people who were once Human and when the magic flowed through their bodies they reacted in a violent way. Similar to demonic taint and corruption which affects almost all races, the magic became a vicious disease. It began to turn them into bull-like people. They have a large bony head, often with a mane of curly and woolly hair. Their eyes become sharper allowing them to see further distances and perceive the unseen, they develop protective ridges over the eyes. They have no horns at birth and have smooth skin in a shade resembling their parents. They begin to develop a tail similar to a bulls tail as the hair on their tail will match their own mane. These Human Bulls or Humans with a Bulls head and a bulls tail will be larger and more stocky than the average Human as they are 3-5 meters tall and 1 meter wide with broad boxy shoulders. They live their lives normally as anyone would but they begin to undergo changes or milestones every 80-120 years. The Astarian Empire catalogs the Minotaurous people by an M# after their name on their ID card. As they change drastically the longer they live which influences their bodies as they begin to develop their own unique traits and magic. They develop the presence of small horns at the first milestone. Their second milestone brings thicker skin and longer horns which often curve outward in a flat arc. Their third milestone brings forth intense magical powers, superhuman strength and speed, and their horns thicken and enlarge. Their fourth milestone brings thin fur to their entire bodies, changing them from Human Bulls to Bull People. For every milestone after the fifth the Minotaurous grows larger, faster, more skilled in new magics, and less intelligent. They begin to become more aggressive around their tenth milestone and more feral around their 15 milestone. Generally if they have lived that long they are more of a hindrance and must be removed from the area which they regard as they will attack even their own.
Culture
Their culture develops completely differently on each and every world. Check the world's individual race cultures for each group of Humans.
Astarian Empire's Thoughts
Humans are generic and bland, in the Empire the number of actual true humans can be counted on 2 hands. Most “Humans” in the Astarian Empire are actually Terrans yet they do not know that. From ancient Humans who changed came the Minotaurous, Giant people with Bull traits yet stand and fight like a man.
After The Cataclysmic Shift
After the Great Cataclysmic Shift the Humans across the galaxy gained a very small amount of mana and can use some magic.

Playing Humans In TTRPG and or RPG Games:
In Role Playing Games, Humans are seen as the normal generic populace of a given area or world. They breed quickly and can survive horrible conditions and thrive with little required things. As they are a social creature, isolation affects them harder than most other races. This has led Humans to be seen in packs not to hunt but to remain in each other's company.
Playing Humans In Turn Based Strategy and or RTS Games:
In strategy games Humans are seen as multipurpose and multirole people who are good at all things from an overview perspective while the individual has a huge focus on one thing. Humans may become warriors because they excel at melee combat, rangers excel at ranged combat, casters excel at magic spells, etc. Generally Humans will use various domesticated animals for their wars which is seen as barbaric at times to other races.
