Races

There are a variety of races exist in the Six-Faced World, the setting where Mushoku Tensei takes place. After the fall of the other five worlds, all the survivors fled to the Human World and settled in their suitable habitats. In this manner, the Human World is now populated by multiple Races.

Human
Humans (人族, Jinzoku) are the most dominant race in the world. Similar to humans on earth, the human race in the Human World have relatively weak physique, short lifespan and high intelligence such that most innovations in the world are the work of humans. They are the majority race in the Central Continent, Begaritt Continent and Millis Continent. Humans on the Central Continent and Millis Continent speaks Human Tongue with slightly differing accents, whereas humans on Begaritt Continent speaks Fighting God tongue.

Most of the important characters in series are humans. See list of human characters: Category:Human

Elf
Elves (長耳族エルフ, Erufu, lit. "Long Ear Tribe") are a race of people who currently live in the southern part of the Great Forest in the Millis Continent. They are sometimes classified as demon race, but it was possible that they are new species that developed during the Chaotic Period. As their name implies, their most prominent physical characteristic is their long and pointy ears, which provides them with very good hearing ability. Other than that, they usually have a slim body, whereas female elves tend to be flat-chested. Their fertility is rather low, but they have very long lifespans, capable of staying in their prime for hundreds of years. They also have a very good sense of direction, able to navigate effortlessly even in difficult terrains like the Great Forest and deserts.

It is said that magic was originally created by the High Elves, the ancestors of Elves. Long before even the Great Human-Demon War, when the world was engulfed in the unceasing spiral of battle and chaos, the High Elves, in order to fight their enemies, entreated with the spirits of the forests to control the wind and the earth. And thus, the first magic spells were born.

List of Elves:


 * Elinalise Dragonroad
 * Raifold Magnafold
 * Laws (Elf-Human hybrid)
 * Fariasteer (Elf-Human hybrid)
 * Sylphiette (1/4 bred)

Dwarf
Dwarves (炭鉱族ドワーフ</rp>, Dowaafu, lit. "Coal Mine Tribe") are a race of people who currently live at the foot of the Blue Dragon Mountain Range in the Millis Continent. They are sometimes classified as demon race, but it was possible that they are new species that developed during the Chaotic Period. Dwarves are short in height: male dwarves have a stout build, whereas female dwarves are similar to young human females. They love alcohol and are highly tolerant against it. Their lifespan is longer of humans, capable of living for at least several hundred years.

As a race of craftsmen and blacksmiths by birth, dwarves have naturally dexterous hands and high affinity towards earth and fire magic, but abhorred water and wind magic. They are adept in crafting weapons, armors and various arts, and the best craftsman would have the chance to ascend as the Ore God. Culture wise, dwarves would raise all children of the same generation together, and they would treat each other as siblings. They won't get an official name until they are seven, and when they do, they receive a name that's fashioned after something they're good at, something they're attracted to, or something they like.

Dragon Race
Dragon Race (龍族, Ryuzoku) are the original inhabitants of the Dragon World, and the strongest of all races in terms of fundamental physical capabilities. They have wings, powerful talons and tough scales, and are the first race that could wield battle aura effectively. They could live for more than a hundred thousand years, thus they only have children every several thousand years. After the fall of the five remaining worlds, most of the dragon race perished with the Dragon World, whereas many of the remaining members escaped to the Human World were killed by other races as an act of vengeance. As a result, very few dragon race members remain in the present days.
