Great response to the "God" thread people, now how about the races?
Anet did a very creative job throughout the campaigns to create non-mainstream (for the most part - except for the dwarves - if I saw one more movie/game that had just the basic trolls, elves and orcs again, I woulda hurled). And, even with the dwarves, they have done a great job of expanding their storyline and history of the two factions. Albeit until the release of "GWEN" the races haven't really had listed a "skill focus" that portrayed their nature (i.e. the Asura as "magic" users). True, it sounds like in GW2 we will be able to be a different race other then human - but it doesn't sounds like we will have the option to be all of the ones Anet has expanded the storyline around. However, if you had to pick a race to initially go full bore with in GW2; if you had the option of all these listed below; which one would it be? For example, if that race had it's own quest/mission/item/armor path to follow through the game - which one would be your favorite to try out first - even if just because you think that race and/or their history or appearance is cool? Here's the list of the expanded ones we see more then the occasional one of in the GW world (list your first and 2nd choices):
1. Char
2. Asura
3. Human
4. Naga
5. Mursaat
6. Dwarves
7. Norn
8. Centaurs
9. Avicars/Tengu
10. Djinn
...For me personally, I think the "Norn" would be my first choice followed by the "Avicars."
Races - which one are you?
Siadena
Issac
Human then Char, thats just me lol.
Onarik Amrak
Tengu and Charr. 
Calypso Catarrh
Centaurs for me, then humans or Sylvari if that's an option (not on list)
The Last Windseeker
Tengu or Sylvari
mrmango
This isn't lore. Get this to the general forum please.
And we don't know anything about the Sylvari, why would anyone know they want to be like them? That's funny.
And Avicara are a type of Tengu.
I'd like to be a centaur I guess, Djinn seem pretty powerful as well.

Humans. In all fantasy games I always play humans. Why? You have Humans, who are weaker and less magical that the other races. They are really the most disadvantaged yet they still stand firm agains the likes of orcs, ogres, dragons, magically inclined races etc.
They may not be the toughest, but they stand strong against opposition. And that pretty much sums me up.

Norn. Anets gonna have to bugger them up real bad to make them not fun to play.
Cebe
Human...then Mursaat...Human....Human....Mursaat...maybe Norn.
Marth Reynolds
Mursaat would be my first choice, levotation ftw.
asura might be second or third depends on how they'll look.
last of my top 3 then goes to djinn.

Ive always loved the Tengu, why cant it be a race in GW2-they alredy have models and I just love the way Talon holds his sword...
As for the naga, they dont say much, but theyr cool ^^

Norn(Shapeshift ftw)
Mursaat(they can FLOAT)
Djinn(As can these)

Hmm intresting thread, so here is my list:
1. Sylvari (I would try them first because i imagine them cool)
2. Charr (I kind of like Charr Stalkers and i would love to have Charr Ranger)
3. Tengu (I think that Tengu Assassins are cool)

Djinn - I can be extremely agressive, but this is always justified, and i tend to forgive but not forget.
Mitchel
My race is a white European.
What? Not on the list? Well, Norn or Human then.

draxynnic
It's not on the list, but what I'd most like to play is a Forgotten... assuming, of course, that dragons aren't an option either... 
(but at least Forgotten are semi-humanoid - I don't ever expect to see dragons, but Forgotten are at least possible)
After that, I'm not sure. Humans would be up there for the nostalgia - after that, possibly the Tengu. The Norn, Asura and Sylvari don't really excite me much at this stage, but it would be interesting to see the Charr from the other side rather than killing them indiscriminately like my primary would like to do...

Sophitia Leafblade
Asura says "XP RAWR!" So Id have to say Id be an Asura
Hundred Blades
Charr, for the stalking abilities and cool armor aswell as they're homeland is supposed to be beautiful so I would like to see this. Forgotten if they were on list because I would rather be a snake than a Human in this game... (Most of the faces are pretty screwed up on Humans...)

Epic Monkey Battle
For me I think it really depends on which class I play. I play my monk the majority of the time, and although I cannot keep my monk in GW2, I think I would stick with a Human monk, because it'd be similar. But other than that, I would like to try out the Charr.

Mursaat!

Followed closely by Asura.
They are just so (Insert your curse of choice here)ing adorable.

My Sweet Revenga
None of those races describes me.
I have no heart.... my veins run red.... my flesh is cold to the touch..... push me around hard enough and I will shatter and every ounce of what's left of my being will make you bleed...... and yet some tell me I'm sweet on the inside.....
My best guess, I'm one of these

Why is Margonite not on the list? I'd have to be one - I worship a strange deity and would quite like a couple extra eyes.
