Viscanti, for the racist roleplay angle. I love the idea of a hideous mutant in a velvet doublet discriminating against an elf. Taurian roleplay is pretty good too, and I like the idea of orclachs being torn between admiring the taint (the ur'Guard, the Urlach connection) and distrusting it (Orclachmars "tainting" by Fain in the Elder Wars, the creation of orcs).

Aslaran! It has completely spoiled me with the fast recovery. My human seems so slow now! Plus.. We get Nori. Who is both Aslaran and Faeling. I mean, how cute is that?

Dracnari for the win. What's not to like about breathing fire? biggrin.gif Seriously though, the whole nomadic angle appeals to. As does the sort of bipolar balance between a jovial, go with the flow attitude and a (pun ahead) fiery, sometimes hairpin indignation (though that may just be Maellio and Eliron). In any case a race I'd like to see more of and more from.

I love my faeling. She's kind of bonkers.

Sadhyra made me want to have a Kephera, too, just for the whole hive RP thing. So my faeling is half bug. Too bad I still can't do the hive thing tongue.gif

You can goof it in with a squad.

I have a big soft spot in my heart for Tae'dae, though their actual stats make them unbearable for me to play for an extended period of time. Illithoids are probably my favorite, being the most unique race and the only one that's truly irredeemably evil. That's why I get so pissy when I see most people RPing them. Viscanti are great too, there's really nothing you can't do with one of them as long as you don't mind the color red.

Or Pink, Purple, Violet, Burgandy, etc.

Trill.

No doubt.

Crystal spires of art and angel wings for the win.

I'm a huge fan of Loboshigaru RP, especially within the Tahtetso, since EVERYONE there is a Loboshi! The Pack mentality, with strict loyalty and companionship, I'm a Brother to everyone in the guild, simply because of my Race.

I also like the idea of Tae'dae RP, though I agree, their stats need to be tweaked, because they're penalties are absolutely ridiculous.

I haven't done it yet, but I think Taurian RP would be awesome...even if there are only three of them.

Now I kinda wanna make a Taurian Geo or Nihi scientist and engineer.

There might be four now... Glom has a newish Taurian - Vadi


I personally quite like Elfen, though I'm not sure if my RP is because of being Elfen, from Glomdoring or both. I like the wariness and discrimination of cities, as well as the "you guys all owe us" subtly superior mentality.

I've been trying to depict Ileein (a trill) as being very passionate, even when he's also being very analytical, as he is prone to do. For example, any mention of the beautiful Aeromantic techniques of Hallifax will send him into an emotional diatribe on how utterly amazing they are. Other than that, I'm really not sure. sad.gif

It's not letting me vote because you didn't put Furrikin in that second list! >:(

Furrikin is my favorite. Your poll is silly. XP We're the most diverse race out there, and I'd like to think that the Furrikin of the Basin would be really tight-nit, even though they're all spread out in different orgs (one of Ongaku's Furrikin friends was Celestian).

*sigh* Guess I'll vote Dracnari in the second list, since you won't give any Furrikin love. It's especially silly considering you say that changelings count, yet Furrikins, a "free to play for everyone" race, aren't in there. ><

I've played as a furrikin, aslaran, trill, lobo, and tae'dae, and Tae'dae has been by far my favorite.

It's like being this guy....


Only hairier.

I just saw this for the first time. Made my day. wub.gif Thanks Pectus!

I enjoy playing my character, her mixed race comes up in conversation more often than I thought it would, I built part of her personality around it, too.

I like to watch people like Lucidian, Viscanti, or Aslaran roleplay their race.

I will now remember all Ashteru's comments spoken in that voice.

I am trying to roleplay the transformation into a Storm Trill, but I am very unsure how exactly to go on about it.

Nonetheless, it is quite interesting.
Unknown2010-04-08 15:23:16
Tae'dae for the win.

As for trill to storm trill... I'm not sure if there's a lot of racial rp there? I just thought that the knight specializations for a race were the bigger and brawnier people of a given race.
