Human

Humans are the predominant sentient species of Earth, and in the current modern timeline, will become one of the dominant races of the galaxy over the centuries to come.

In the Beginning

Humanity, when it was first discovered by the refugee royalty of the planet Selenos, was little more than a collection of feral humanoids, each touched by the taint of chaos. After settling into a colony on Earth's major satellite, the moon, the Selenos line began an ambitious program to genetically modify the nascent human race to more closely approximate Selenian norms. By the year 13,560 BCE, the first recognizable humans had begun to coalesce into tribal units, and over the next few thousand years would quickly begin to make ancient and incredible discoveries into the nature of the universe.

Little is known of human pre-history, and discoveries are few and far between. Many human societies were founded upon incredible powers and magics—including, some whisper, the cities of Lemuria, Atlantis, Sarnath, and Mu. Many of these ancient cultures were crushed beneath their own weight, however, and those that did not destroy themselves from within were ground to dust beneath the power of the ascendant Queen Beryl.

History, as understood by most modern humans circa 2000 CE, begins with the Chinese and Egyptian empires, and is beyond the scope of this article until the modern age begins.

About Now

In the modern era, humanity is just beginning to come to grips with the fact that it is not quite alone. While Earth is home to a vast number of entities, the dominance of the human race is not agreeable to all of them, and as such, humanity has had to police itself from threats both internal and external. This is done on multiple scales, both individually and collectively, and ranges in nature from anything to individuals patrolling the street looking for threats, including but not limited to the MagiRangers, to vast interconnecting government agencies such as UNIT, Torchwood, and AEGIS looking to clamp down on wider more dangerous movements. It is within these pockets that humanity's current power rests.

The technological development of Earth is widely disparate from region to region; by the same token, only small groups are known to possess the skill and developed potential to manipulate ki or mana. As such, most humans rely upon technology, generally trusting machines more than they do any one individual's power—though often it is only by the intervention of a gifted few that Earth is saved from an otherworldly threat.

Yet to Pass

1. With the invention of the warp drive, the matter transponder, and the purchase of jumpgate technology from various alien races in the 23rd century, humanity begins to expand to the stars. See Star Trek for related adventures.

2. Before the end of the 30th century, Sailor Moon and her friends arrive in Neo-Tokyo 7 and establish a monarchy known as the Crystal Millennium, taking over much of what was once Federation Space.

3. The attack of the Tairon Overfiend sparks off entire millennia of war for humanity as one threat blends into another and eventually terminates in the end of the Butlerian Jihad, circa 11000 CE.
