Ok. Point by point time.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who does this? Who builds an entire character around nothing but the race chosen at selection? How is that a complete character in the slightest? Isn't that just a kind of an awkward, lifeless, pale shade of a thing that was supposed to be a person occupying a world?
Two questions:
1. What?
2. How?
Confusing in what sense? New options were offered, and they took one. Is there a secret step I'm missing? Some unseen turn that converts this ray to a fractal, infinitely complex in it's endless repetition of shapes?
No, no. That's your reaction. My reaction would be: "Ok." And that's all. Because it's a really, really small leap to say "Fine, that character is now this, and always has been."
Except for all that progress and work you put into the old one. Why re-do when you can just repurpose?

Kylin's the man, and all, but I'd feel like throwing a stuffed tonberry at his head. With a large rock sewn inside of it while shouting, "What were you thinking!?"
But alas, we would all come around to the idea and still huddle around the firepits and listen to the very large and very intimidating female Roegadyn Kylin tell tails of her exploits throughout the land.
