So after
Narokh linked to a thing about info for Pathfinder, I looked at it a little bit and saw that one of the, I think, playable races was the Ratfolk. If I'm wrong, it's fine, I'm just making characters for fun at this point haha. but anyway, I've been playing Guild Wars 2 and the Skritt are so cute that I was thinking about if I could play Guild Wars tabletop game, I'd probably play as a Skritt.
This character is a combination of wanting to play as a rat dude and also taking some personality elements from a character my mind made up while watching another RPG series on Youtube. Long before Critical Role, I actually was watching a thing called Let's Cortex, or something like that, on Raocow's channel. They were playing a custom game that took place in the Mushroom Kingdom. While watching, I came up with a Yoshi character that lived his entire life prior to his adventure on Yoshi's Island and was super pumped about exploring and seeing all these new other creatures and races that don't reside on the Island.
This character has a similar backstory of living in isolation from the rest of the world, but decides to leave and explore the world specifically to be a hero. Needless to say, this lil' rat dude is a bit naive. So much so that even at the start of his adventure, you could plop him in front of a dragon and he will take the challenge. Not really realizing how much of a one sided fight against him that would be. But he is, in fact, over confident as well. If you ask him, his Piercer of Light can pierce darkness and his Shield of Goodness can block evil. However, neither have any magic properties. His naivete also makes him pretty gullible, but if there's a damsel in distress, you can count on him, his Piercer of Light and Shield of Goodness! As long as there's no heavy lifting... I mean, he will definitely try to help you lift something heavy, just don't expect results.
This character is way more straightforward than Filth. So I think if I get around to try and play some tabletop RPG, I'd probably look into using him before I use Filth.
I'm on my way to create a full party now! =P
Edit: Decided that his name is Chinik now!

That's actually pretty cool haha. What would he technically be in Pathfinder though? Closest I saw was lizardfolk. I might go and look at all the pages one by one, but I'll admit that seeing that not all races have an artist's interpretation makes that task a bit annoying since I wold have to image Google the ones that are missing haha.
And yeah, I knew about Pathfinder for a while now, like years ago I heard about it as being one of those things where people claimed it to be a true continuation to what DnD was suppose to be according to some people. (Like Path of Exile is to Diablo 2 for example) I mostly was focused on DnD since it's what Critical Role is using.
But generally, I think Pathfinder do seem more interesting to me. It's where things like Kobolds and Gnolls are, haha. Also yeah, there's seems to be way more races, but I guess I also didn't see any page like you linked me for DnD 5th edition, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunch there too, but I dunno. =3

He actually is a human with the half-dragon template applied to him. I'm not sure if there are as specific rules for playing a templated character as there were in D&D, but it basically gives some rather strong bonuses for the price of having him count as a couple of levels higher than he actually is (he has 9 class levels, but would probably count as an 11th or 12th level character).
Haha, I guess that works also. I'm definitely thinking about how I might never use my characters in a game like that but I could totally use them for other things. Like even quests. I made a joke in the description here that I was building a party but I could totally make a quest with whatever party I end up with. Assuming I ever finish the ones I'm doing right now that is.
