So which would you be and why?
Dwarfs are pretty much immune to magic and are physically strong, but they are short, ugly and live underground. Their women look pretty much like the dudes, beards included. Generally foul tempered though loyal to allies. Can live a couple centuries. Other races generally consider dwarfs grumpy, dirty and obsessed with geology. Good with their hands, crafts and machinery, call them for tech support.
Elves are graceful and knowledgeable, and have a varied economic options. Tend to live in tree-cities so must like the outdoors. Good with bows and magic but when they go bad they become orcs, so there's that. Chicks can be smoking hot and tend towards asian features so best your preferences align. Have pointy ears but don't know the neck pinch. Very long lived, many centuries possible. Often viewed with envy by other races, elves are frequently considered the elitist assholes of the fantasy pantheon due to a combination of their long lives, their penchant for racism, and their incessant singing and preaching about mother earth or whatever.
And Humans. I think you know what they're like. The best and worst of all worlds combined. Their capacity for love, kindness and greatness is only matched by their ability to wreck everything they hold dear through ignorance and destructive tendencies. War is every man's second language, though human poets and artisans achieve works that impress even the other races. Live about a century max though the last quarter of life mobility is limited. Tend to be the race from which both the big bad villian and the lost scion savior will emerge. They also get +1 skill point per level.
