...Okay since we already have one poll asking whether you would like living in the SR universe & another on your ideal ratio of awakened individuals, this seemed like a natrural one to follow up with.

I voted human but it was very close between that and elf. I just like the idea of being able to live for so long and have the time to learn and do so much. Happier with a human build than an elven beanpole though.
The main thing is that I should be awakened. |

Dwarves for the win. Thermo vision, fitting in small places, being able to buy child's tickets at the cinema, having a huge beard, talking with a fake Scottish accent, resistance to drugs and poisons, and +4 attributes for Priority D ain't bad.

Elves; they live for so long, and if you go on the right metaplanar quest, there's that small chance you'll become immortal.

If I could choose my race, I would be a halfling or a kender. But that wouldn't be possible in the SR universe, so I would say elf.
EDIT: I just realized that the question is "what do you see yourself becoming," in which case I say dwarf. |

Thanks for pointing that out. I'd still be an elf. I'm flighty, opinionated, and self-centered with vaguely liberal political leanings. |

Technically you could only become an orc or troll if the awakening happened today, since Elves and Dwarves were born that way after the mana started to rise.
That being said though, if I had the choice I'd be an elf. Gotta love the extended lifespan, and having awesome night vision never hurts. |

I see myself becoming a normally human-looking Elf poser Ork.
Never really understood why people couldn't becomes Elfs or Dwarfs during the awakening. Some people are practically there already. |

I'll wait till the mana cycle peaks a little higher and become an obsidiman.

Orks do indeed rock. And if you really look at it, elves are possibly the worst race.
I'll get in on that immortality thing one way or another, though. |

Orc, it would be just my luck to turn into an orc in 2021 and hit the geriatric stage straight out...
I'd like to be an elf, but hey they don't goblinise. |

Meh. Life is too short at 100, but would be waaay too long at 1000, IMO.
I'm only 26, and I'm already bored. |

Trolls have horns, muscles, and dermal armor. They can see in the dark. What's not to like?

Inability to do math, far too great a chance of falling through the floor.
Not to mention the issues that come with great size. |
