If you had to live (realistically) as a fantasy race?

[Deleted]

Malkavian, Nosferatu or Tzimisce from White Wolfs Vampire: The Masquerade.

[Icaras]

Whatever race lives the longest, the more time I'm around the better.

[Jessicka]

Clearly Succubus or Valkyrie, because wings.

[Dezerte]

Elf, and by Elf I mean the stereotypical wise and patient kind. That lifestyle would suit me just fine.

[Strangebrew]

Either Dwarf or Elf.

Dwarf because i'd get to sit and drink myself to heaven with mead and beer while gobbling meat all day long.
Elf because i want to fuck elf womyn.

[Justin-Sane]

I choose beast-race, if a skinchanger counts. I'd get to turn into a badass bear like Beorn.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Human cause I'm like Popeye I am what I am that is all that I am imperfections and all.

[Deleted]

Attitude: Dwarf
Appearance: Elf

...that pretty much makes me a hobbit or something near it huh?

If we're talking vampires: Gangrel, all the way.

[Kurioxan]

Elf, without a single shred of doubt.

[Mirishka]

Gnome, because the idea of being super-intelligent and constantly tinkering/inventing appeals to me so much.

[Danner]

Human
Copout answer indeed.

Dwarf
Main advantage: You can take a beating, and you can win drinking competitions in Finland. Neither are particularly useful skills.
Main disadvantages: You can't reach high places. Height jokes will torment you every day. You sink in water. The scottish accent is mandatory and will drive you insane.

Elf
Main advantage: You live for a really really long time, and can still retire way before your body stops working well.
Main disadvantages: You will have no shortage of indecent offers by kinky people. Everyone will think you are a hippe. All your friends die of old age on a regular basis. When the next generation comes up with some radical new political idea you have to roll your eyes in disgust seeing how little has changed over the eras.

Dark Elf
Like an elf, minus the hippie part, but everyone thinks you're an emo instead.

Hobbit/Halfling
Main advantage: Natural luck, it's a great asset that will help you in life.
Main disadvantage: You can't reach high places. Height jokes. People will accidentally step on you. Morbid obesity is mandatory.

Gnome
Main advantage: Your quick intellect allows you to see answers nobody has ever though of before.
Main disadvantage: You will blow up on a bi-weekly basis because that's how these things you make work. Nobody will take you serious because you look cute.

Orc
Main advantage: Absolutely everyone will be perfectly polite in your presence. Or you will break their skulls with your bare hands.
Main disadvantage: The moment you leave they will laugh at you to no end. Because frankly, you smell. Also, no matter the amount of muscle, guns can still murderize you easily.

Goblin
Main advantage: None. Your kind breed fast, but there won't be any other goblins around, so who cares?
Main disadvantage: Like a hobbit, minus the obesity, plus the notation that you're a thieving, stinking, backstabbing weasel. And they'd be right. Unlike wall street CEOs,this wouldn't count in your favour.

Beast-like race (Werewolf, etc)
Main advantage: None. Literally none. It's not like being a bear or wold or similar helps you in any practical way.
Main disadvantage: You get awkward love letters from furries. You have to lock yourself up on full moon nights. Hairballs, man. Yuck!

Vampire
Main advantage: You live forever. Teenage girls would throw themselves at you. You sparkle, if that counts for something.
Main disadvantages: Sunlight, garlic, crossing rivers, crosses, holy water, insane dietary limitations, mirrors... yowza that's a long list. Not to mention the army of vengeful people who hate that you stole their love and would absolutely love to stake you through your heart, murderizing you, and get fame social status and fortune for doing so.

[Rend Blackhand]

The Hobbit life is the life for me! Good food, good drinks, good homes and pipe smoking. There is a distinct lack of bullshit in the lives of Hobbits. I would be very happy with a cosy hobbit hole with a lot of good books.

[Medusa Cascade]

Futanari

[Venziir]

Pre-Horde warcraft orc, a shamanistic, calm, stone age hunter/gatherer.

[Deleted]

Elf. Elves always seem to have the best hygiene.

[ItachiZaku]

It's between a vampire or an elf. Though, I'm leaning more towards vampire, just because it's not fun to live as an elf in a non-fantasy world (Earth)

Yeah, i wouldn't mind being a vampire or werewolf in the most common sense. WoW races, I'd be a Tauren, if in a pure fantasy realm.

[Mihalik]

HUMANITY FUCK YEAH!

[Cerilis]

How can the answer not be elf?

[Deleted]

Elf
Main advantage: You live for a really really long time, and can still retire way before your body stops working well.
Main disadvantages: You will have no shortage of indecent offers by kinky people. Everyone will think you are a hippe. All your friends die of old age on a regular basis. When the next generation comes up with some radical new political idea you have to roll your eyes in disgust seeing how little has changed over the eras. wkward love letters from furries. You have to lock yourself up on full moon nights. Hairballs, man. Yuck!
.

Those disadvantages dont make any sense whatsoever.

Elves can pretty much pass as humans if they can hide those ears. I dont think any beautiful people see creeps harassing them as an incentive to become ugly.

As for the aging thing, living long doesnt make other people die sooner. How is not dying with your friends a disadvantage? Besides not many friendships last for a lifetime anyway even if you dont live that long.

[Morae]

Somewhere inside me lives a little furry. I chose beastlike race.

What I mean when I chose that is the types that are not evil, insane or anything like that. For example think of race like worgen from wow. Sure they were insane and very dangerous at first, but as they got past that. You would basically get to live at least almost like human, get very good senses, ridiculous abilities like regeneration (depending on which universe and which species), ect.
