A human is any member of the race that emigrated to Wreel in search of a new home planet. The human planet, Earth, was crippled from the over-extraction of rare earth and a . Since their long voyage the race divided their loyalties between the Deist and the Consortium. Civil unrest was common aboard the ӓrk but has since waned due to the reduced tension provided by their successful mission. The mission, a 26 light-year trek, spanned two generations which has all but erased recollection of life on earth. Thanks to various technologies, 25% of humans that began the journey had reached Wreel. Of these humans only 1% remain alive today.

Leet

Main article: Leet

Due to the scarcity of food and space aboard the ӓrk many people were housed in a cocoon that could sustain life with minimal nourishment. Linked to the cyber, a virtual reality, these voyagers had the luxury of being anywhere their mental faculties could interpret. A drawback of this technology was revealed when the first wave of people linked into the cyber were awoken - they suffered from a range of mental deficiencies including depression, dementia and hallucinations. Due to the extreme nature of the illnesses, the remainder of the passengers were left inside their cocoons to prevent the mental distress. For generations they have been kept on life-support, living a virtual life within the cyber. The leet are a small sect of these passengers that live within a virtual, continually progressing game environment. When the Consortium realized that the leet could control external bots they began monetizing them. As the leet battle in simulated versions of reality the constructs they control are on the battlefield, their fire-power licensed to the highest bidder.
