How to roleplay a human

Hello everybody! So you wanna roleplay a Human huh? Well I'll help you with that!

Basics and Traits
The Humans of Azeroth are a resilient race, and have fought their fair share of wars. While not as ancient as their elven brethren, they do have a rather diverse background. As such, Humans are one of the most flexible races to roleplay with. Whether you want to be a grizzled veteran from the First War, or a proud champion from the Third War, or just a courageous young adventurer trying to make his/her mark on the world, Humans allow you to forge your own unique character.

As many Humans have grown up with war, they are naturally a very tough race. However, they have also forged powerful kingdoms over history and have battled numerous enemies, so they are also very intelligent and quick. While not as haughty as the Night Elves, they do have a sense of superiority in the political affairs of the Alliance, and a strong urge to bring peace and justice.

Personalities
There are 4 'basic' archetypes you can choose from, however since the goal is to enjoy creating a unique character, these can be mixed somewhat to make a full rounded character. Remember, very few characters are purely evil with no heart, and even fewer are completely "good".

The Varian Wrynn Ready to fight the Horde on sight! Not willing to make (or keep) peace when a fight could break out. A leader among the people, and quick to think, are his shining qualities. You'd basically do the best in an RP-PVP realm.

The Jaina Proudmoore Willing to do anything necessary to keep peace. However, when attacked she defends herself and allies proudly! Intelligence, heart, and courage make up her best attributes. You'd do best on a normal RP realm.

The Arthas Menethil Pre-corruption Kind, great fighter, and saves everybody he can. Is headstrong and can get into immense problems in the quest to save every one. He has all the heroic qualities a person could ever want! Keep in mind he's easily corrupted by his desire to protect. You'd do fine on any realm.

The Arthas Menethil Post-corruption Very dark, very evil, and very powerful. Will do anything he can to kill every person who oppose him. Will also send people on suicide missions if the rewards of such endeavors are more alluring than the person sent. You'd do fine on any realm.

Class Choice
For all those personalities a well thought out class choice is wise!

Varian Wrynn personality: A Warrior would do the best because Paladins only fight when necessary. Also a rogue would do just the same too!

Jaina Proudmoore Personality: A Paladin or Mage of course. Priests would do well here as well. I don't think a Warlock would do good here. Possibly a Warrior.

'Arthas Menethil. Pre-Corruption:' A Paladin, Priest, or Warrior for him.

Arthas Menethil Post-corruption: Death Knight or Warlock. Basically anything evil!

Location and clothes
Your location should influence clothing selection a lot! A Human in Icecrown with no clothes isn't right! Or a Human in the Badlands wearing clothes so thick that they could stay in Icecrown for a month before they start to feel cold! If you go into Elwynn Forest wear light clothes! If you go into Dun Morogh wear heavy, thick leather or warm, cloth clothes! Plenty of choices can be updated for the weather without need for multiple clothing sets in your bags. For example, the robes and cloth armor of Northerend will usually appear correct for cold climates in any area of the world, and by removing your cloak, shoulderpads, and gloves can serve as a decent "in-town" ensemble. Consider looking at NPCs of the zone for inspiration.
