## Humans: The Fledgling Race Without a God

Unlike other races, the humans have no patron deity to call their own (thanks Asmodeus, you slinky bastard).
___
One thing humans always say, and completely believe in, is that challenge is a great thing. Challenge brings the best out of someone or the situation. Challenge allows not only an individual to become better, but for humanity as a whole to prosper. No race exemplifies the concept of challenge better than humans.
___
The dwarves, elves, and halflings are already established, but not just established, they each have a patron deity looking out for them! Unfair, is just another day in the life of humans but this has made them the ultimate underdog. Even the less friendly races, typically called monstrous races, have their own deity looking out for them (again, thanks, Asmodeus)!
___
The human race that isn't as established, roam the world in tribes looking for a land to call their own. There are settlements throughout the lands but these humans are still fighting for their place and there aren't any human kingdoms as of yet.
___
Masters of persistance hunting, humans are one of the scariest hunters in the world. Persistance hunting is a hunting technique in which hunters, who may be slower than their prey over short distances, use a combination of running, walking, and tracking to pursue prey until it is exhausted. The other races have had their growth handed to them by their deities, but humans have fought for every scarp of meat, every moursal of knowlege, and every single trinket they can get their hands on. 

### Common Human Backgrounds
* **Acolyte**: Some humans have taken to worshiping gods of the other races, fiends, or nature itself.
* **Criminal**: Humans that make their living in the cities and lands of other races may grow up to be criminals, not just out of nefarious reasons, but out of neccesity.
* **Entertainer**: While less common in human tribes, humans that find themselves in the cities and lands of the other races may find work as entertainers due to their exotic looks and mannerisms. 
* **Folk Hero**: Humans love a good, or even mediocre, folk hero. Successful folk heroes give hope to the ones that need it most.
* **Hermit**: It's dangerous to go alone, but sometimes one does what one must. 
* **Outlander**: A vast majority of humans are outlanders. That is just how life is.
* **Urchin**: Humans that grew up in elven or dwarven citites may find themselves becoming urchins, especially if they aren't driven toward being a criminal and have no talent in entertaining.
