Why should my character's race matter? You might ask, because it makes it more realistic that a Godlike would be treated like a freak, because it makes sense that people would mock you for being an Orlan and yet for the most part the game ignores your race, A Godlike player is treated like a normal Human.
To be honest, I find this quite offputting and unrealistic. I mean the Orlan are supposed to be considered vermin who everyone treats like ****, yet your character is treated like a normal human, same with the Godlike who are supposed to be considered freaks of nature.
