Yeah, sure, they're weak and they cheat and steal and... destroy and disappoint. But they also give and create and they sing and dance and love. And above all, they never give up! But, you do!|author= [[MetatronChuck Shurley]] aka [[God]]

Humans are the dominant species of Earth, gifted the [[soul]] by [[God]] some point after coming into being. Humans are considered God's greatest creation, however their favor would draw the ire of [[Lucifer]], who saw them as flawed and murderous things. The view of humanity among the rest of [[the Host of Heaven]] varied, some like [[Castiel]] saw humans as works of art, while others like [[Uriel]] saw them as lower beings, referring to them as "mud monkeys" and "savages" and comparing them plumbing on two legs, beliefs Castiel warned were close to blasphemy.

I'm hoping that you and I can tap into some of that old magic and finish what I started a few months ago.|author= [[Chuck Shurley15.15 Gimme Shelter]] aka [[God]]|source= [[11.20 Don't Call Me Shurley]]}} Humans are carbon based creatures that vary in size, shape, gender and race. Humans are typically mortal beings, but in certain cases, through the use of witchcraft or alchemy, a human can extend their life past their natural lifespan. These humans are also known as [[witches]], as witches they are able to use magic through one of three means: Firstly they can gain their powers through an act known as "borrowing" from [[demons]] in exchange for their [[souls]]. Secondly, through intense studying and practice and human can become a witch. Thirdly, certain humans are born with natural ability for magic. Humans are also susceptible to forced [[possession]] from [[demons]] or [[ghosts]], unless a human has some form of protection, such as an [[anti-possession symbol]] on their bodies, they cannot prevent possession. However, certain humans have been known to wrestle control, however briefly from the controlling entity, such as Bobby Singer. [[Angels]], meanwhile require consent from humans to possess them, and certain bloodlines are important to angels, and through [[cherubs]], these bloodlines continue, ensuring suitable [[vessels]] continue to be available. ==
