I have always played a mix creed of many races, though I am mostly known for playing male characters over females (Though RL I am female).
I chose males over females, because I came to learn, if most players believe you are a guy, they will allow you to cut up and joke with them easier, they will tend to listen to your orders, and give you more respect. If you on a female, sure they will give you free items, but they tend to buck your orders, treat you like you don't know what your doing, and tend to try and do everything for you---
Which drives me nuts at times.
I love playing Miqo'te and Mithra back in FFXI. Mostly cause I am a big cat person and my favorite big cat was the Tiger, followed by the Panther. This is perhaps the only female race I will play, and because of its following on FFXI, most people figured if you were a Mithra, you were 80% chance of being a male. Most of the time, I was thought to be a male cause I was "To good of a tactical person." or "Your to logical."
Love stereotypes...
The next race I played are elves, mostly cause I am a large mythology nut. Though the only game I break the rule of playing a 'elf' is with istaria, cause it has dragons as playable races. Can't go wrong with Dragons!
Then if not dragons, lizards, if no lizards, then elves. You can start to follow the logic.
If its mythological based, I will most likely play it at some point.
I just recently started to play anything that is "Human", but mostly I dislike playing what I am. My thoughts are: "If I really wanted to stare at a human, I go outside, go sit on the street side, and watch cars and people go by."
But when I have played a human race, it is always male, as the females always come across to me as.. well.. to be frank.. sluts.
I guess I'm just strange person, or maybe I am removed from reality as my Dad likes to bark about, or perhaps I just hate humanity at times and use video games to just ignore the world for a bit in order to recollect myself.
Maybe its even an artist thing? I really don't know.
I just know I love mythological creatures, fantasy, and aliens.
