I'd love to play a Gillman, though I do feel they get a bit short-changed on the racial abilities.
Also Strix, definitely... but this would never be allowed.
Peet
Hsien, Nymph, Pixie, any of the 8 Planetouched, Half-Nymphs, Nymphs, Dryads, Nixies, Giant Half-Celestial Advanced Emperor Penguins, Faeries (the touhou kind), magician youkai (the touhou kind), and a wide list of pokemons
edit; don't forget Mahou Shoujou/Magical Girl template

Android
So I can play Cindi Mayweather (Janelle Monae)
After that, Sylph or Fetchling.
Oo... Good choice
|
Hm, hard choice.
I'm not really a fan of the "menagerie" of races that are in PFS, but the one race I've really enjoyed playing as and with is probably, Ifrit.
The stat mixture (bonus to dex and cha, penalty to wis), is a great fit for my preferred classes, the race opens up some interesting RP opportunities (without devolving into flat characterization like aasimars and tieflings), and you're a person MADE OF FIRE; how cool is that?

I would like to see a little more inclusion of the stereotypically "monstrous" races, the ones often viewed as packets of XP and little else- orcs, kobolds, hobgoblins, etc. It seems to me that the Society would be one of the more likely organizations to reach out to these races, and I'd love to see them characterized more, make the point that no free-willed sentient race should be considered evil or beyond redemption by default, and thus okay to kill without question. Other forms of media have addressed this question, but I find that it's still a depressingly common view among players. In addition, it seems like there's some great RP to be had, being the target of adventurers for so long only to finally be granted the chance to join their ranks. So yeah, one of those three probably.

I totally agree. Have you read the Goblins comic? So funny...

Half elf would probably fit who I am, being out of step with my peers growing up. I imagine growing up as one is a lot like have Aspergers or some of the milder autism spectrum disorders.
Azata Aasimar (green haired, gotta have green hair) is what I would choose. Still a little out of step but more relatable.
No desire to have fur or feathers.

"All of these posts and no one said drow. Amazing. :)"
Why would someone *want* to play a Drow? D:
I'm definitely in for the kobold thing. I was a little disappointed when I found out I wouldn't be able to make a kobold for my first PFS character!
Other than that, well... uh, the other race I was really shooting for, I finally got a boon-trade into a few months back. And then the race was opened up as an always-available race, so they're already an available race. :P

I'd like to play a hobgoblin since they have a very interesting history with some areas of Golarion. However, I don't particularly care for villain decay and actually prefer your typical dark hordes of orcs, goblins and the like to remain as adversaries. Same with the drow - classic evil bad guys who deserve all the hatred you can muster.
One divergent individual, such as Fall-from-Grace, Drizzt, etc, once in a blue moon is fine and can set up some interesting character-driven roleplay, but do it more than twice and I quickly lose interest.
I like narratives of exile, redemption and regret just as much as the rest, but don't think every 0 hd race needs to serve as a vehicle for them.
The Boston Marathon.
I'll be your brother, Big Sur.

To clarify, I'm not advocating a general shift of orcs, goblins, and kobolds towards being neutral, but I would just like to make the point that no sentient race deserves to be killed on sight, and I feel like having the occasional monstrous race in the Society would be one way to accomplish this.
Ratfolk seemed interesting to me.

Warforged
Hmm... Probably either Android, Tiefling, or Catfolk.
