Canon Species (Optional): Humans

Humans are an odd bunch. Hailing from an island kingdom off the coast of the Crystal Empire, humans have a long history of peaceful wars and civil conflicts, most of them spanning for thousands of years, and all of them caused by the smallest of reasons. They are normally deemed as insane creatures by all other species, but their strength is undeniable, as well as their magical discoveries.

Humans are classified in five races, organized through magical skill and level of insanity:

Grey Block Men - The most sane type of human you can hope to find. These humans are particularly known to be the least magical of the species, with barely enough strength to levitate objects. They specialize in philosophical and technological matters, which they can take to an extreme. Grey block men have been known to become easily depressed after long periods of time pondering on the meaning of life, and while they are the most intelligent of the races, they are also the most stoic and hard to talk to.

Moon Humans - With their sanity and magical strength varying and changing with the phase of the moon, these humans are fairly insane without trying. At some points, they can wield fire like a blade, while at others, they can do little more than a grey block man. Their level of insanity fluctuates accordingly with their magic. The more magical they are, the more sane. The less magical, the least sane. Full moons are particularly odd for them, as they tend to change from minute to minute, with their strength and mind coming and going without notice. Each moon human has a different reaction to the stages of the moon, so it's impossible to know how they'll react, with the exception of the full moon, of course. That one applies to all moon humans.

Silver & Gold - The humans known by this title are usually in a constant state of insanity. Their magic levels soar when near gold, though, and decrease drastically when silver goes near them. This has made many of them wear large amounts of gold as part of their clothing, which makes them very strong for as long as they wear it. Silver & gold humans have a terrible dislike for all things made of silver, and as such, they have developed a rational fear for it. Showing silver to a silver & gold human will either make him panic, become aggressive, or throw him into a heavy depression.

Unicorn Humans - Odd among the odd, these humans duct tape unicorns to themselves. No, you read that right. This has caused much controversy between Equestria and the Humans, but since the unicorns agree to be duct taped and aren't forced, there isn't much that can be argued. Unicorn humans do this in hopes that the magic will be mutually transmitted between man and pony, which will give them more power than they already wield, which many ponies agree, is pure vanity, as they are much stronger than any regular unicorn since birth. Unicorn humans that cannot find a pony to duct tape to themselves usually duct tape other magical creatures, such as toads and rocks...

Wizard Humans - These humans hold a large variety of spells and incantations which allow them to transmute and alter the world around them. It has been rumored that they can travel a few seconds in time, but no one can tell, for obvious reasons. A legend says that one wizard human was shot once, but he traveled back in time as much as he could to save himself. Unfortunately, it was just a few seconds, and he was shot again, so he kept travelling back to the point when he was shot for an entire year before dying from magical exhaustion, as opposed to the bullet. Wizard Humans are the most powerful of humans, but their magic can only be used after a ritual is performed, so they can't use magic instantly. The strength of the magic depends on the amount of time the ritual is performed, like charging a spell. A ritual can last for a few seconds, or over hundreds of years... ProTip: Wizard Humans are the most insane of them all. They are unpredictable, and they have no set form of attitude.
