IMHO I think threads like this aren't necessary. If someone is curious as to why a certain race is played then fine; ask in the form of a question sparked by curiosity.
To me, this thread seems like it is asking people to justify themselves. They don't have to. They shouldn't be made to feel like they have to.
However, I will contribute because I feel like this can't be said enough: race does not make the character; the player makes the character.
Race gives a skin, and the possibility for a foundation of lore and back-story. IF the Midland Hyur are to be considered "blank slates" then that is good because some people want "blank slate" characters to start with.
But boring? No. I have RPed with two Midland Hyur characters so far, and they are fantastic. *waves @ Roen Deneith and Tobias Nightbringer* I am still in the learning process with RP, so I learned a lot from them.
