–Light Hope's description of the Eternians. |
Eternians, also known as First Ones or Humans, are the main inhabitants of Eternia.
Appearance[]
Eternians are bipedal beings, measuring an average of 1.70 centimeters. Eternians have two arms, which normally extend to the lower limbs, two legs, a long torso and a circular head. On their heads, Eternians have hair, wich the color and length of which can vary, a small nose, circular eyes and a small mouth with herbivorous teeth. They may also have body hair depending on their age. Women are generally smaller in stature, have a more defined body, breasts, longer hair and have much less body hair than men.
Eternians have a huge variation in appearance, being able to have different skin tones, races, ethnicities, clothes and physical characteristics such as disabilities and anomalies, therefore it is difficult to describe its appearance.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Adaptability: Eternians are very adaptable both mentally and physically, been able to adapt to environment changes quickly and figure out how to deal with unexpected and stressful situations better than most species.
- Sorcery: Eternians can learn to manifest magical abilities and aptitudes through spells. However, this is only possible after many years of study and practice.
Weaknesses[]
- Human Biology: Compared to many other species, whose biology makes them naturally strong, Eternians have at or below average physical strength. Even if they were to train to improve their physique, the average untrained Eternian would most likely get beaten up in a fight with an alien.
- Intelligence Limit: Besides their strength, Eternians are not considered to be very intelligent. In general, they have about or below average intelligence compared to species such as the Galvans and Cerebrocrustaceans.

Trivia[]
- Technically, any sentient creature born or living on Eternia could be considered Eternian, but typically the term is used to describe the human race of Eternia.
- The other races of Eternia identify Eternians as Humans.
- They are only known as "First Ones" by Etherians, as is stated by non-Etherian who use the name for their convenience. This error arises from the fact that the Eternians called their ancestors of the pre-modern era in this way.
- In "Segnali dall'aldilà" Ben is amazed that the Eternians were normal people like the Humans and the Etherians, commenting that he expected to find them to be a people of intellectuals like the Galvans or a people of fighters like the Tetramands.
- In "L'Isola delle Bestie", the signal broadcasting from the heart of Beast Island is a "backmasked" (backwards audio) message. When played reversed to create normal speech, it states, "Planetwide evacuation required. All units return to Eternia."
