Male.

"Male." The moment I spoke those words I realized I answered without even thinking. If I start as someone else than me, shouldn't I even consider another gender? Then again, maybe there is nothing to think about; you know which gender you want to be, and picking something else probably only leads to trouble. Not that there was anything wrong with being a woman, but the idea just didn't sit right with me.

"You have picked male. Please confirm."

A blueish shadow of a muscular yet slender man, without any face or features, appeared before me and rotated in place. It was like a porcelain mannequin, but made from... Solid light and shadow.

"Yes, I want to be male."

"Confirmed. You want to be male." Bleep! Bloop! "Please select your race. Do you want to be: elf, neko, yeti or merman."

A text interface of friendly blue and white letters appeared that provided me with information of each race.

Elf; graceful and wise beings of nature with an aptitude for arcane skills.

I scrolles to the next option.

Neko; nimble and stealthy beings with a powerful jump and natural weapons.

Yeti; With their impenetrable hides and large framed, their physical might is unrivaled in the world.

Finally I scrolled to the last option.

Merman; the inhabitants and rulers of the sea, among the land dweller both feared and respected within their domain.

I scrolled once again returning to the elf, then scrolling past all the options to learn what I can of each of them. It occurred to me that human wasn't an option. Perhaps, I thought, there weren't any humans in this world. Was it then a wide choice to change my Identity? Be that as it may, whatever I choose will stick so I need to choose wisely...
