What's everyone Race of choice and why?

Been putting a lot of thought into this, and I think I'm going to be looking at Dwarfs myself, they have that old Dragon Age look to them and they look badass in their armour

I wonder if they will look silly in some of the cosmetics designed for the other races though!!

Nothing scarier than a little man with an axe

Py'rai and Tulnar probably. The orc races also looks cool.

Mionikoi

Tul'nar. I want to be cute and fuzzy and equal part looking like something that will tare your face off and sew it into a fashionable coin purse. Maybe like a cat coat wolf like the charr from GW? Then again, until I see just what Tul'nar can look like, that's up in the air.

My back up is a kaelar. Tanky wizard that may give some folks pause when finding me in the wild.

Jhoren

Dünir or Tulnar probably for my main characters. The Vek look cool too. Never Elf or Human, except maybe if I make a temporary pack mule slave character. Humans and elves need to know their place in society (at the bottom).

Dryadez

py'rai for sure, very into forest themed areas and woodland architecture.

Sunboy

I will pick the coolest looking race because they look cool.

I want to see what tul'nar look like before I choose. If it isn't something that looks good to me, I'll see what Kaelar looks like.

From what i have seen, Tulnar will look quite "flexible" in Character.

I have seen cool Characters with Horns.
I have seen a cool Character with a Snout like a Lizard.

I have seen a cool Character with a Nose and Horns that reminded of the Bull-like Appearance of a Minotaur.

Oh i hope they will look like ABSOLUTE Badasses compared to those "nice and soft" looking Races like the Elves, Dwarves and Humans. Because right now, it looks like they could easily manage this.

Behague

Empyrean
Snobby, Wealthy, Aristocratic.
(Everything I'm not IRL

)
Why? For the aesthetics-
I'll be the one in the Illustrious Featherstone Ensemble with my Glitterling, riding aimlessly in the Crowned Coach
Or storming into battle atop the Stag of the Boughs donning the Titanbark Mail.

Sad to see no dwarfs in the latest stream!

I chose what race my wife likes best for looks. This keeps her playing when she can role play that she likes us as a couple. As in she would not find my char attractive if I was a Orc with tusks. I stick with that. What ever keeps her playing I do. Thats my story.

If the Renkai orcs really look this good then I'll be playing these guys.

If I was to pick a race for my preference, it would be this rare as well

I'm just a normal human from head to toe. But I'll be a beautiful one. Apart from that, maybe an elf.

Aszkalon

Still going here with a Kae'lar Human at first. Maybe an Dunir Dwarf next.

But first Choice, is a Kae'lar. I want to try and create a very nordish, viking-like looking Character.

You know ?
Someone with goldblonde Hair but stylish, snake-like Dreadlocks. Like Vikings did it, long in the past.

Ventharien

Definitely Empyrean Tank

BraydenS

I think I want to play a Vek, at least during the Alpha. I'll probably mess around with every race before official launch but for some reason looking like a decrepit hunchback seems appealing to me.

I shall be playing with my Lady too, I'll put her to work in the farms though ;-)

Morashtak

Stoic. Tradition. Forge. Most of the peoples from the old world would see a mountain and think nothing of it. The Dünir saw a defensible home where riches abound.
My main will be Dünir. Will try other races to see how they synergize with the different classes and augments.

The Ren'Kai are looking good!

Dir Sir Eredin' (lol) UUMMM i mean "Ventharien",
i was a naughty, cocky little Human and i need a strong Elf Master to show me the Ropes and punish me for it.

If you don't force me into Alliance with your Empire, i will raid and sack your Villages, steal 'yo Wifes and turn your Nodes into our Nodes.

Peace is a Lie, there is only Obsession.

If we get some more Ren'kai looking like their concept art with the asian aesthetic I will go Ren'kai but so far they just seem typical zug zug. Otherwise I am between Py'rai and Dunir.

I've mostly always played "beastly" races in MMORPG's. My main MMORPG was WoW up until The Burning Crusade and I played a Tauren Shaman. For AOC I will be going Tulnar, specifically the lizard looking variant in the concept art. If they can give us a badass 3D version of that race variant, I'm sold. I always like the "wise and alien" type races in MMORPG's.
