You can be any race/species you want. You may only choose one, unless otherwise specified.
Choosing a race is optional, but it provides unique bonuses and special rules for your character. You must select your race when creating your character. You cannot voluntarily change it later.
And since Super Powers Unlimited can be played in any genre, time period, and location, the “names” of the races are just common examples. Feel free to rename it to something more appropriate, if necessary, for your specific game. It’s your character, your story.
