Personally, Human but with the twist of having moth parents. aka moth cooking looks rather normal.
Slime. Atmosphere problem, don’t care. Distro problem, not your problem, someone beat you to crit, get up 5 minutes later. Stuck in space with a space suit. You have like 30 minutes before there’s an actual problem and another before you crit
Moff. Because i can roleplay slowly walking towards fire, because moff

for mechanics/general, arachids because they can adapt easily to most situations thanks to their silk plus they can’t starve like lizards and can eat raw meats/blood. I used to love slimes too but they nerfed them to the ground so they don’t feel special anymore. I don’t find moths to be special in any situation or have anything useful,I tried them several times. But I just finally found the community’s favourite punch bag , lizards. It turns out people don’t want these to be humans++ like 13 but rather to both suffer from cold, fires and diet, the well-hyped feature of tail-pulling has rarely been useful for me having more problems with starving and chefs making only bread than actually using tail pulling to get out of a dangerous situation. So in the end lizards are chosen for suffering porpuses.
unfortunately, other races like Vox and dwarves aren’t that different and don’t offer anything special. diona sounds like a good survivability option however in recent changes the need of self-cloning has dropped significantly
Dionae, easy choice, they are objectively the best species and no body can change my mind :3
Vox needs no reason, vox is its own reason.

Vox look awesome but I can’t play them very well
if we include forks. IPC. I love being robot and falling into a coma when I forget to “eat”
if we only include upstream. lizard. call me basic but the ability to drag hands-free is amazing for medical, sec, or gimicks (I can drag a crate and have my hands open)
i like a lot of the species, ngl. lizards are Shaped, they got noises, they got tails, is good. moths are cute, and their diet is pretty interesting. vox are Scrungly Hardmode Birds. humans allow me to be the ultimate Regular Guy, and a bit of mundanity is nice. slimes are vibrant, i can pretend mine are full of reagents, and also air is a smaller issue. dionae are potently plural, and playing one as a janitor turns it into hardmode.
it does seem like i’ve ended up with mostly reptilian characters, though. which is kinda funny to me? 'specially since i usually forget taildragging exists when playing lizard - generally what appeals to me about a given species is the aesthetics, with mechanics taking a back seat.

if its only upstream then I like arachnid since they can make web shields and furniture.
if forks are an option then I will always take oni when available cuz big number.
I just have an obsession with lizards, that is all.

harder it is to play and the more inque / rewarding in other ways, thats my favourite species to play
so far i enjoyed IPC and can t wait for plasmamen
Vox and Slimepeople are best by far. At least for me. Moffs are cool too, but less so than Vox.
