I was looking around the forums, and it occurs to me that of those who have DD-related avatars, the vast majority are elves. I took a quick census (apologies if I missed anyone) and came out with this:
(Devs)
Nandrew - Gnome Berserker
Dislekcia - Dwarf Tinker
Aequitas - Orc Bloodmage
Goatbot - Goat (sprite)
(players)
Darvin - Elf Paladin
Gorgon - Elf Thief
Fran - Elf Warlord
Abraxis - Elf Bloodmage
Sylex - Elf Assassin
CznRhubarb - Elf Sorcerer
The Avatar - The Avatar (sprite)
(players who changed avatars after original post)
Darvin - Jehora Jeheyu
Sythion - Goblin Assassin
Murdus - Dwarf Berserker
Fran - Vampire (enemy portrait)
Abraxis - Mystera Annur
The Avatar - The Avatar (portrait)
Lujo - Halfling Tinker
Gorgon - Naga (portrait)
Kuranes - Taurog
The devs are diverse enough, but out of the players "The Avatar" is the only one with a non-elf avatar (yeah, this won't get confusing <_<). However, we do have a very nice assortment of classes. Guess the elves are just the most popular race by a landslide.
