Species Description: A sentient, bipedal species of Great Ape, scientifically known as homo-sapiens, inhabit the vast majority of the planet. Their mental prowess, adaptability, and ability to sweat in profuse amounts do to their fur being incredibly small and scarce in most areas, allowed them to dominate the planet and develop culture, leading to the current state of this planet, for better or worse. Humans come in many varieties of skin, eye, and hair color, as well as varying body types.
Hometown: Not Applicable
Description:When the average person hears of a druid, they envision a tree hugging hippie with a bear familiar whipping vines around, but a mere millennium and a half ago, the word had a different meaning. This was the era that Gedigan was born in, and he had been raised to honor the natural deities in all their glory. Not just plants and animals, but all of nature; from the water that gave life to the fire that took it, all was natural and divine. The details of his life back then are hazy, but by the end of his natural life, he had become so versed in ice magic that he was able to slow the rate at which he aged, preserving him for millennia. However, this took a toll on his humanity, and after centuries of isolation, he began to explore other aspects of nature, such as fire. It took fifty years or so, but the druid, who had forgotten his own name by then, had accrued enough knowledge of fire magic to thaw his frozen soul. The druid learned to balance his studies, using ice, fire, and forest magic in equal measure. Now he wanders, trying to reconnect with a species he should belong to, taking joy in every encounter he has. Those who meet him usually end up giving him a name, the most common being "Snowbeard", as his beard often has bits of snow caught in it. He never stays long, though, always eager to learn more of the society he secluded himself from for so long.

Other: Snowbeard is a sweet old man that genuinely loves everyone. Even if he dislikes someone, it's more a profound disappointment than anger or fear. However, he is also a very wise,
very old man with no qualms of speaking his mind. If no one else will say what need be said, he
will, even if he loses friends over it. Despite his obvious age, he's surprisingly robust, able to keep pace with young, strong men, even if he'll regret it immediately afterward. The few alive who have met Old Snowbeard say he has a knack for guessing what people need.
