The question really does seem odd, he thought it's obvious that he's human. What else would he be? "Oh, yes, I am? There's really nothing special about me either, just a human high school student. The only thing I had was an ancient artifact my father gave me for my birthday when I was a child. For all the trouble it caused me, it was my only companion for most of my life. And in a place like this, the ability to be able to summon the spirits of my monsters to help protect me is all I can hope for."

He shuffles a little, moving the much more relaxed little fox to one arm carefully as his other moves to his back pocket to pull out a peculiar looking deck of cards. He hesitates only for a moment before holding out the Duel Monsters deck in offering. "If I can find a way to convince the gods to bring my ring here, I can summon any of the spirits dwelling in these to the physical world."

The whole interest in skeletons and such is obvious in the cards, considering his deck consists mainly of fiends, ghosts, zombies and such, along with a fair amount of trap and spell cards.
