On the MU* I usually play, I don't often play humans. I might play a humanoid, if there's something about their race that makes them obviously different from humans - but more often than not, I'm drawn to alien races.
Partly, it's that I really don't feel like I could wrap my mind around the thinking that most Humans do on OS (the majority of them, save those who went on Sanctuary or fled Earth before it got blown up [twice!], are xenophobes) although I have played Human-Origin races and still do (Ungstiri, and Sivadian once). But those races are vastly different from pure Humans, in behaviour if not appearance.
But it's also because I'm human enough in RL. I don't want to have to be just another human being on the games I play, too (although, granted, PCs are rarely 'just another' anything, really..). I want to be something that doesn't think quite the same way I do, that doesn't look anything like me - that doesn't even follow the same code of ethics I do.
