The deal with humans is that I've been trying to get rid of them.

There's really no explanation as to why they're on Ludus or anywhere outside of Earth (which has nothing to do with canonity and should not even be mentioned or known of), and the quick excuse I thought up for their presence in storylines is that gridmasks would "evolve" into them after some time. What I'd prefer to do is replace all of the human characters with gridmasks, which are considered to be the most basic form of "humanoid" life in canonity. From there, the specifics and descriptions of gridmasks could easily be changed to be near-identical to humans in appearance, though with cultural differences and a generally gray/white skin tone being prominent alterations. That would basically get rid of the inexplicable human appearances and avoid flack with skin color, as well as give us more creativity in culture and everyday life. Of course, there's no way that I would get permission to do that with characters like Lazro who are no longer being monitored by their creators/personsake, so the human excuse stays for a bit.

If I ever get to it, I do intend to do a small search throughout stories and the like and replace background humans with gridmasks where I may. If changing the entire species becomes overbearing I suppose I could think up a more legitimate excuse for their presence.
