I am a FT nation though.
1) Strictly in terms of the RPs you want to get into, humans are the best choice. I've never seen a "Non-humans Only" RP, but I have seen Humans Only RPs.
Of course, by that logic you should only make MT Nations, since most RP on II and GE&T is MT Only. In case you couldn't tell, I'm an FT nation, so I don't really believe in that nonsense.
2) Be aware that xenophobia is definitely a thing in RPs that allow non-humans. Expect to find nations that are willing to commit genocide because you have a different species.
3) By your comment on human genes, do you wish to make an Anthro nation? Those are quite common. On the upside, you'll have plenty of art of your species. On the downside, Anthros aren't really unique.
4) Ponies are best non-humans.
5) Machines are overrated. We have an entire alliance dedicated to Machine-led nations. And then you have to deal with the whole Skynet comparison thing, and every nation who ever goes to war with you will go nuts about EMP... it's a mess.
6) You could always do what I did and steal a little-known alien race from someone on the internet. The
Birrin were a great find, and most of the really hard work was already done for me.
