Let's Burn Up a Character

So, I got the idea from this other person in this other place. The notion is, we create a character for the Burning Wheel roleplaying system (a process known as "character burning" in the system's vernacular) based on group consensus or lack thereof.
Basically, I'll ask questions, then pick answers depending on whatever gets the majority among replies.

Technically, you start with a character concept, but for our purposes, we'll figure it out as we go. So the first question is, is this character a

Elf
Human
Dwarf
Orc

Those are your only options, smart-aleck. Whatever gets the most votes between now and whatever vague time I check this topic next wins.
