I don't think anthropomorphic player characters are in lore of the game. It's loosely based on Norse mythology, which did have some dryads, but not very many. More importantly, however, the game is not high-fantasy, it is a grounded survival, where stoking fire is a painful process, not just a click of fingers (although "spark" spell does not help my argument).

Reading title I thought about character skin color and that would certainly allow for more diverse character customization and might lead to actually unique player characters (currently there are only 300 options*, and with player peaks of 1000** you are guaranteed to have at least half the population to be exactly identical).

* Female: 8 hair styles * 6 hair colors = 48 permutations
+ Male: 6 hair styles * 6 hair colors * 7 beard styles = 252 permutations
Total: 300

** According to Jorb:

How to mine:
  1. Hit rock
  2. Catch ceiling with your face
  3. Lay in bed
  4. Repeat

Or we can have fun and add in bonuses that would be entirely irrelevant 2 days into the game, like, idk, +2 agi for lizardmen or +2 str for orcs.
Give the ability to butcher corpses, and use lizard tails and tiefling horns from the dead as decoration on palisades and banners.

If nothing else, it gives people an excuse to KoS people for no reason other than they're fucking furries.

They aren't humans you ignoramus. They are hearthlings. They are living clay, and don't even have genitals.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy
