Races:
This is a list of the various Races found upon Gaia.
Black Mage:
Black Mages are artificial constructs designed by Kuja as a weapon for Alexandria. Because of the process used to create them Black mages were created with souls, and many have since become self aware and even created children. Unfortunately while this grants them great power and often great insight into life Black mages are cursed with a painfully short life span. For obvious reasons almost all Black mages have Black mage at least as their secondary job.
Burmecian/Cleyran
Burmecians are a race of rat-like people from the realm of Burmecia. They long ago split with the realm of Cleyran because of their reverence for the art of war. Burmecians are wise, powerful and cautious soldiers with a strong sense of honor.
Cleyran are of the same race as Burmecians, however the two split quite fiercely on ideological diffrences. The Cleyran abhor combat even as a last resort, depending instead on defensive magics and isolation to keep them safe. Unfortunately with the Alexandrian attack on both Burmecia and Cleyra both sides of this race have come close to extinction, the remaining few scattered to the corners of the planet.
Dwarves:
Strong, stout and cunning Dwarves are simple people of the earth with deep convictions and a strong work ethic. They are deeply rooted in their spirituality, especially in regards to the institution of Marraige. The Dwarven race produces many cunning metal smiths and artisans though few have the inclination for leaving their small haven.
Genome:
Similar to the black mages, Genomes are artificial beings intended to house the souls of Terrans once the plan to replace the souls of Gaia with those of Terra came to fruition. With the notable exceptions of Kuja, Zidane and Makoto Genomes are by design without souls and as such feel little emotion. The trade off for this is that they are effectively immortal, aging to a specific point but never capable of dying. The majority of Genomes have found a home with their spiritual kindred, the Black mages. Few ever leave the Black Mage Village as they feel no strong curiosity or passion.
Human:
Cunning, well rounded and diverse Humans are the dominant sentient race of Gaia. Humans exhibit a shocking amount of diversity both in personality and temperament, making it impossible to find two who are exactly alike. Because of the wide range of aptitudes humans can display they can be found training in every job imaginable. Since the Development of the Steam engine many Human have begun to spread out into the far reaches of the world, setting up colonies on every continent.
Moogles:
Often overlooked by the other races Moogles are funloving, adventurous happy and vivacious creatures. They tend to have an almost comical energy to their actions even when attempting to be totally serious. This humor however hides an indomitable, intrepid spirit that allows them to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles to the amazement of any onlookers.While this is most likely the result of a Moogles penchant for getting into shockingly tight situations in the first place it nonetheless makes them a valuable ally or stalwart friend.
