I wanted to play against my usual choices. Â If there is a choice in a game, I almost always choose any race other than the humans. Â In EverQuest and EverQuest II, the majority of my characters were Dark Elves, though in EQ2 I grew really attached to both of the fairy races (and recently the Aerakyn). Â The few brief times I tried WoW, I played a Dwarf, both Elves, an Orc and a Pandaren (my friend bought me the expansion and wanted us to RP siblings) as well as trying out a Goblin and a Worgen. Â In Second Life, I have way too many avatars to list, but aside from a few freebies, I've only ever purchased a grand total of THREE human skins (and two of those were to match some elf ears). Â Everything else is either an unnatural tone (like blue or green) or is otherwise non-human (catpeople, demons, a few custom modified furry avatars, even some avatars inspired by known fictional alien races like Twi'lek or Andorian).
I wasn't planning on choosing a Hyur. Â I was actually pretty set against it, with my original plan being either Lalfell, Miqo'te or Au Ra. Â But the more I thought of who and what I wanted my character to be, the more I thought that this time it might be interesting to play a human character for a change. Â I have played human characters in the past, but rarely ever in a fantasy setting.
I do plan to make one or two of my other characters that I had originally planned at some point, but for now I'm enjoying the experience of trying something different.
