I am picky with my fantasy races. They can be such a dealbreaker for me in MMOs. I am very happy SE decided to add female roegadyns in ARR or I might not be playing this game at all. My method of choosing is very simple: I always go for the big, muscular woman option. It's just how I roll. Most female characters are conventionally pretty. They may whoop ass but they almost never have the body to match because society doesn't seem to like muscles on women. I like my female characters to look as menacing as their fighting styles do.Â
Although, it's a bit more complex than that. In general, I feel that female characters across all media are too uniform-looking for my tastes and whenever a character creator is available I will do my best to step as far outside of this box for female characters as I can. I like to be the change I want to see.
Hellsguard I chose because...I didn't like the green coloration of roegadyns. Plus, I enjoy the themes of Hellsguard more: fire, mountains, and guarding of the underworld. Interesting stuff!
 I also quite like to be the furthest away from a human as possible. Humans are very vanilla-y so I avoid them whenever possible. I like to be something different. It doesn't really apply to this game though, since every race is very human-like. I'd be content playing a beast race, for example. But that's okay. I love being a roegadyn.
