"Normal" is rather a relative term in the PPC, though, given that they can recruit from just about every continuum that's ever been written (except the quarantined ones); nonhuman characters include elves, dragons, furries, dinosaurs, aliens of various types, and a superintelligent shade of the colour blue.
