What Species should MC be?

#1
I've got a story idea recently. The idea isn't too new nor is it too overused(personal biased opinion). It's where the MC and others get sent from virtual reality world with all their stats, skills, equipment, and etc...
I haven't written much for it, but I can't continue any further. You see I'm running out of ideas. I don't know what race I should give my MC! I don't wanna go with boring species like elf, undead, human(heck I see them everyday), dragon, demon, beastman, goblin, dwarf, elemental, and etc...
Okay they're not actually boring species; just one's that are well known. I want something that's more unique, something rare, something that'll boost my creativity juices besides the unicorn poop(sugar) that I eat. 
You get the point. I want something fresh, and no I do not mean deodorant. I mean a species that's not used a lot for filler character nor is it used a lot for MC.

Thx!

It's a safe choice because you know a human instinct and reactions better than say: a bird's or a chipmunk's(at least I'd hope so).

You can go the monster route if you want, but that requires an imagination capable of creating an environment and describing the emotions of the monster in such a way a human(the reader) can both picture and feel what they're going through.
^That is hard, and I applaud everyone who's succeeded.

Now, my suggestion is an owlbear.

MC should be asura race=6 arms, not many novels got MC as asura.
You can make it that asura race got only a few members or weak kingdom.
Due to decline of race blood deluded, nobles making bad decisions over kingdom, races afraid of asura race becoming too op so they gang up on them, MC should have illusion magic or body modification skill that can change races lol.  Just kill a member of the race and absorb the blood to change to that race.

Just add all the novels you read and make a new very long novel.

Please make a novel like I am the monarch where MC climbs from knight all the way to monarch that conquer the whole world.

I don't see that many novels that conquer tons of empires.  Make it so that he controls all empires by helping one prince of each empire succeed the throne.  Go do some trading early on the with trade runs, with the risk of nobles, storms, greek mythological sea creatures, abandoned island filled with other creatures that can help his kingdom.  For example  http://royalroadl.com/fiction/9904/dragon-sign-gold-glory
Fight pirates, get there loot, find treasure map, trade with mermaids and other sea creatures, help prince of mermaids,

Just add all the races humans, elf, dwarf, beastmen, sea creatures, treants, fairys, myth creatures, undead creatures=variant 5 element zombies, flying creatures=sky kingdom, gaints, dragons,

http://www.novelupdates.com/series/great-demon-king/ underground world=tons of races fighting
add tons of fights, strategy fights that are op like 1000 vs 5000, disadvantage fights, advantage fights, all sorts of races fights piled up together,

email me at [email protected] if you want to discuss more ideas on how the story goes.

Sounds like an interesting race, but I'll have to reject your request.... er well the novel request. 
I don't do super OP MC, and I already have my own ideas. If you haven't read carefully; others of similar origin to MC are crossing over as well.
