Personally I chose Hyur cuz I enjoy playing as a 'human' in a strange world. Sure, I'll play other races but I still prefer playing as a human, (In an RP perspective it is a bit easier to think as a human.) I suppose you could say it is closer to home then anything else. Although, if there is a minotaurlike race, screw the humans. I'm going to be a friggin' MINOTAUR!!!
