Human

Humans are one of the civilized races. Humans are the most prolific and abundant civilized race within The World. They possess the unique ability to determine whether or not they will successfully conceive a child during sex as well as possessing some ability to influence the physical characteristics of their children when conceived.

Physical Attributes
Human adults range between 5 and 7 feet in height. Their skin color lies within normal variation, ranging from light to dark brown. They possess very thin body hair, providing little protection against the elements.

Humans also possess the ability to become selectively sterile. Both males and females possess this ability, allowing either of them to negate an otherwise successful conception attempt. During the act of conception, humans also possess some ability to consciously decide the physical attributes of their children, such as determining their sex, eye color, hair color, and even the amount of children conceived.

Humans readily crossbreed with nearly all other civilized races, and suffer from fewer complications typical of inter-species pairings.

Human children are unique in that they take the longest of all the civilized races to reach sexual maturity, taking as many 14 years.

Culture
Humans, as the most prolific race in The World have a large diversity of cultures. That said, common elements among human cultures exist. A large amount of sexual freedom is practiced, either openly or in secret. Planned births are important. Pregnancies made before a couple is seen as culturally "ready" are regarded as grossly irresponsible for both parties involved.
