What race would YOU be?

[manipura]

IRL, what would you say is the race you'd best describe yourself as?  Or the one you relate most with, either on a physical basis or a more behavioural/personality level? 

I, most certainly would be a half-elf.  Though shorter than average, I fit the bill physically.  And the traditional 'halfie struggle' of independence vs. acceptance...well I should say that pretty much sums up my entire existence.  I think I was born in the wrong time period or something; I always wondered why I had to be -here- (looks around at modern life as we know it) as opposed to living in a cabin in the woods, judging time simply by light and dark, not seconds and minutes, picking berries and thatching a roof.  A cabin or a grey stone house, I still sway back and forth on which I would like more. 

Speaking of time et cetera, anyone have a favourite day? 
I've gotta say, Detal really kicks ass....

[Cerelum]

I would be an elf, I'm sneaky and think only of myself.

Plus I rip people off for a living and make a good living doing it too.

I would be an elf Merchant, all the way.

[Zoltan]

Besides human, I'd probably be a dwarf. I'm very fixated on certain goals. And my favorite Arm day is Nekrete, for various reasons.

[Jengal]

I'd be a human.

[Cavaticus]

Dragon.

[Cerelum]

Dragon.

Not a playable race, cheater.

[Xeran Van Houten]

Mantis.

[Gimfalisette]

Dragon.

Human dragon-rider for me.

Wait, that sounded wrong.

[Cerelum]

Dragon.

Human dragon-rider for me.

Wait, that sounded wrong.

Boom chicka wahh wahhh

[Yam]

I would be a halfling.

I am small, wise, and cannibalistic.

[Cavaticus]

Dragon.

Not a playable race, cheater.

Maybe not playable for YOU.

[musashi]

I would be a halfling.

I am small, wise, and cannibalistic.

He is pretty fun-sized.

[manipura]

Lots of races represented so far....no muls though, or half-giants...?  Anyone know a mantis-type? -tilts her head to the side, deep in thought-
C'mon, I know you're out there...

[Niamh]

Avangion. 

I am Mr. Cavaticus' nemesis.

[askaran]

Elf.. VEEEEERY lazy... and I dont like to pay for things..

[Aaron Goulet]

A boring, good old-fashioned human.

[jstorrie]

Candybeetle.

[Rhyden]

Half-elf.

[Synthesis]

Troll

[Qzzrbl]

Gith.

[a strange shadow]

hi-5

[valeria]

Have to be human.  I'm too spastic to be anything else.

[Manhattan]

Half-elf. I realized that this race perfectly reflects the Asian-American experience.

[Kronibas]

a silt horror... because my tentacles are an aphrodisiac. 

[MarshallDFX]

When I'm on an active research project, gith.

[Fathi]

A mul, because I'm sterile and angry and bald.

[Gunnerblaster]

Half-elven breed bastard.

[IntuitiveApathy]

True Giant, because I'm actually 100 feet tall IRL and like to stomp on small villages.

[Durant]

Avangion.  

I am Mr. Cavaticus' nemesis.

With the number of times you`ve defiled?  

I'd be a Galith

[Kronibas]

A mul, because I'm sterile and angry and bald.

lemmie get them digits yo

[Ampere]

Mantis: for the free eggs, I love eggs.

[Mr.B]

Having just read the OP's question, I'd have to say human, because I most physically, emotionally and mentally resemble a human, which isn't too bad because Humans dominate both Earth, and Zalanthas.. brutally, much of the time.

[Thorg]

Scrab

[HTX]

uh... human? I guess.

[Jdr]

SPACE VESTRIC.

[musashi]

Half-elf.

I like being the outsider.

[Reverend Green]

Everyone that said "half-elf" is emo.

[Yam]

Everyone that said "half-elf" is emo.

No one thinks you're cute.


You're a skeet.

[Reverend Green]

Everyone that said "half-elf" is emo.

No one thinks you're cute.


You're a skeet.

I'm a mushroom-covered gurth.

[deviant storm]

Kank. Because I'm the mode of transportation for my kids some days, it feels like.

[Reverend Green]

Kank. Because I'm the mode of transportation for my kids some days, it feels like.

That, and because you're extinct?

[UnderSeven]

Human - and I would totalyl seek the destruction of all other races, starting with elves.

[Sephiroto]

If not elf, due to physical features, then a half-elf due to my personality.

[5 day lifespan]

Half elf.  A little good at this, a little good at that, but not especially accepted by anyone.

If I could play gortok in game, I would.  Just roaming around, trying to gather a pack, and eating noobs.  Nomnomnom.

And I love Waleuk.

[AmandaGreathouse]

Half-elf.

I always 'want' to fit in and be accepted. But damned if I'll change anything about myself for others. I'm the only one who has to live with me all my life. If they don't like me, fuck 'em.   *wanders off into breedly isolation*

Favorite day: Barani. I can't say why, it's too recent and too IC.

[perfecto]

I'd have to be a mantis I guess.. totaly feared by just about everything that looks at them, constantly sillent and giving off little real emotion except to get the job done. (except in private with my own kind)  That and I'm a leader.. who wants no followers..  may you cringe under the might on my psionic chittering.. 

By the way Mantis-claus was awsome this year... did anyone else get a visit from the green-shelled mantis wearing a red hat, riding in a sliegh pulled by eight tiny flying kanks?  Turns out I was a good PC this year... I love you Imms.. (chuckles)

And you're right Detal is the best day of the week.. for personal reasons.

[RogueGunslinger]

Elf.

[BlackMagic0]

Elf.

[Majikal]

An elf. It's all about the family (tribe) but damn am I one selfish little fuck at times. I do enjoy stealing to.

[Dan]

I would be a human, and so would all of you... because thats what you actually are. You are all humans.

[Cerelum]

I would be a human, and so would all of you... because thats what you actually are. You are all humans.

How do you know? Pssh.

[Ghost]

i cant get a your mom joke work on this race thing

[Kronibas]

I would be a human, and so would all of you... because thats what you actually are. You are all humans.

Swirling currents of psychedelic colors surround the curly hair, tattooed silt horror.

With a *poof* Dan turns into a hairless tregil and scurries off into the underbrush

[Chettaman]

With a *poof* your mom turns into a hairless tregil and scurries off into the underbrush.

I guess I'd be human. I'm a completely ordinary human...
Just -real- fuckin' lucky.

[Jingo]

Elf.

We all play games of deception with each other and with ourselves.

Elves see the game and play it better.

[spicemustflow]

My extreme paranoia would make me an elf, but I have a conscience that gives me a hard time whenever it happens that I take advantage of someone. Not too hard of a time, though. So, yeah, an elf . Pity I'm not tall.

[Shalooonsh]

Gith

[X-D]

Gith

[spicemustflow]

Why, cause you're all long armed, yellow skinned, saw toothed cannibals?

[Kol]

I CHOOSE YOU! PIKACHU!! Whoops, wrong thread......

I'd be a halfling. Badass, and short.

[X-D]

Ask staff for the gith RP docs sometime, you will get it then. Assuming they give them up.

[musashi]

Yam is a halfling ... seriously!!!

[Kryos]

Mul

[Halcyon]

I'm a dwarf, hands down, my height non-withstanding.

[BlazinDayz]

Tregil.

[Hot_Dancer]

Elf.

Family loyalty for sure.

[Potaje]

breed, cause i'm a mudblood.

[Thorg]

Scrab

Come on guys, I can't be the only one!


Gotta get me some boots!

[RogueGunslinger]

That pic, just for reference, is a Dark-sun scrab. Not a Zalanthan scrab.

Scrabs in game are defined as looking like beetles. That looks more like a Cilops.

[Thorg]

It's probably a good thing our scrabs are divorced from their origins, Dark Sun scrabs had a ~30% chance of understanding elven and lower chances of actually having character classes! On the topic of scrabs however, while recently smoking a 'jazz cigarette' I felt inspired:

I loot two boots in the morning,
I loot two boots at night,
I loot two boots in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright,
I loot two boots off of rangers, and two off warriors,
I loot two boots before I loot two boots,
And then I loot two more,

A city-elf once told me, "scrab you'll kill me dead,"
And some dwarf he once told me "I'm gonna bake the best scrab-meat bread",
But, then one day I met a man on an erdlu, and this is what he said:
"Hunting good, and hunting fine but first the mantis head."
*beep*

[MeTekillot]

I've got the body type of an elf with exceptional strength.

IE: I'm gangly, tall, and stronger than I look.

Human personality.

[Dan]

I fall into the range of human stats. As well as human personality.

AND SO DO ALL OF YOU! YOUR ALL HUMANS!

[Chettaman]

I'd retract my human statement and replace it with halfling.
A tall halfling with exceptional strength, poor agility, extremely good endurance, and average wisdom.

[DCC]

A hairy mul for sure. 

Usually quiet and timid but people tend to be afraid of me at first. However, I don't rage nearly as much of course

[FuSoYa]

I fall into the range of human stats. As well as human personality.

AND SO DO ALL OF YOU! YOUR ALL HUMANS!

I'd be a duck.

Definitely a duck.

Brandon

[Akaramu]

Human Drovian.

[YellowCactus]

Cacti..........

I haven't moved for a decade now.

[Synthesis]

Cacti..........

I haven't moved for a decade now.

Cacti are actually mobile, muahaha.

Maybe you're a ginka vine.

[YellowCactus]

We don't get very many visitors where I grow...Still a cacti.  Waiting......for YOU!

[jhunter]

A one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater.

[Dan]

Okay fine.

Im an angsty half-breed.

*weeps in self-loathing*

[Kol]

Man eating potato monkey, thats it.

[Ourla]

Fnord told me once I was a desert elf.

[Aaron Goulet]

Fnord told me once I was a desert elf.

I can see it.

[Gobbleneck]

A half elf merchant, actually.

[EvilRoeSlade]

You'd be surprised that scrabs aren't as different as you think.
