Symbol: Depends on Army Structure
Preferred Weapons: Varied
Description of Race:
Humans are scattered all over the East Side and make up a majority of the population. They are rarely born with powers. In order to get their Powers, they must be Awakened at one of the two annual events, one in the north and one in the south. Candidates must pay to have their powers Awakened.
Non-powered humans outnumber Senturians. Non-powereds perform more traditional jobs that do not require powers. These can be anything from farming to being a soldier. All humans, Senturian and non-powered, vote on leaders at all levels, from city leaders to the Council Representative.
Each city/area is responsible for its own police force, while the military is centralized, divided into three branches (below). The police can be non-powered or Senturians; the variety of the ratio of non-powered to Senturian is dependent on the location. Since humans don’t have a specific land/kingdom, they follow what the Council decrees, and the city leaders are charged with enforcing those decisions or laws.
Humans, being the most widespread Race, are involved in all manner of professions and trade. Additionally, houses and buildings vary widely across the Race, as well as holidays and traditions – these tend to coincide with the other Races around the area.
Recently, there has been more and more angst between Senturians and non-powered humans. The cause is unknown, and investigations have been launched.
Military Structure:
Three branches, with one general over the combined forces.
ARMY
The army consists of mostly non-powered humans and very low-powered Senturians. The main base of operations is located at the East Gate. The army also has small naval bases in Portland and on the island of Luling, although both sites are not large and the navy is comparatively small next to the size of the Tempus Navy.
Each soldier is trained in various forms of combat with many different weapons, as well as their powers, if they have any.
The army is by far the largest branch of any military, since soldiers are not required to have a power, as well as the pay being well above what many citizens could make in other professions.

SENTURIAN CORPS
At the Awakenings, most multi-powered Senturians are selected to join the Senturian Corps. Additionally, any Senturian with only one of the Six Powers who is not chosen to undergo additional training can be selected into the Senturian Corps, as long as their power ranks greater than a 3. While several thousand strong, the Senturian Corps are significantly smaller than the army.
Harlingon is their headquarters, which also serves as the main training facility. Senturian Corps training is much tougher and much more in depth than army training, both with and without powers, and with a larger variety of weapons.
The training is intense and occasionally there are dropouts. These Senturians either join the army or run the risk of being banished.

RANGERS
Any Senturian Awakened with a Quantum Power(s) is assigned to the Rangers. They are the Special Forces branch of the human military. Rangers are highly trained in a great variety of skills, both as a group and individually. Rangers perform many tasks, especially surveillance and recon other Senturians are unable to provide.
Rangers have two bases: one at the Wall and one in Harlingon. They are the smallest branch in all the military, due to the high level of training, as well as the relatively few number of people with Quantum Powers.
In addition to traditional military roles, many Rangers serve as bodyguards for dignitaries from the rest of the Races on the East Side.
The Rangers are led by a general on the advisory team for the human Council.
