+//This article is intended to provide a background for players granted permission to play human characters, or for playing other characters 'in the know' who interact with humans, such as [[belter]]s.//
+//While other humans exist, this fact is not generally known to any non-human characters, nor are any of these humans playable characters at this time. If you wish to play a true human character, please contact a staff member to ask whether an opening is available and whether your character concept will work. In the meantime, feel free to create a belter, [[human#surviving_populations|flatlander]], or other human-like [[recom]]. //

 In Furscape's setting, humans have become quite rare.  The vast majority died in the [[history_introduction#the_apocalypse war|Apocalypse War]] and its aftermath.  Among the space colonies, surviving humans were viewed with mistrust -- not only were they blamed for the war and for enslaving recoms, but they were also feared as possible vectors of bio-warfare agents.
-As a result of this pressure, many of the surviving humans fled to the asteroid belt where they were assimilated into [[belter]] society, and their offspring in most cases were genetically modified to become belters.  A few remained among the "furry" recoms of [[Luna]] and [[Mars]], but underwent a similar process of producing furry recom offspring.

 Among the general population, it is widely believed that humans are now "extinct".  However, this is not strictly true.
