I've been bouncing between races... First I definitely wanted charr, and I still want to have one, if only because of their bitching weapon-sheathed running animation... all fours?! YES. Yes yes yes. A beast race that feels bestial.
But then I thought, oh god the asura are so cute -- until you get up close, then they're fucking demoneyesharpteeth hairless weasel things, and that is ALSO awesome, and the whole Eternal Alchemy thing. So I'll need one of those.
And then there's the sylvari. I'm going to main sylvari. I've wanted to play a plant-based race foreverrrrrrrrrr and being born out of a pod from a giant tree with a collective dream-mind makes it even better. I do, however, want to stay the HELL away from fanart, -fiction, whatever. Incest is canon. Yeurgh.
