I like Jop's assessment, in so much that we assess people for qualities we admire.

Fable, as always, makes a valuable point in that with the backing of television, anyone can appear clever, calm, collected and witty. Think of all the times in your life when you wish you had said or done something ...

Picking a race is about the biggest role playing choice you make in the game.
If you want people to know your (character is) evil and cunning, pick Undead
Noble and Strong? Tauren

Savage but honourble? Orcs

Boring and stagnant? Humans

Over sexed? Definately night elves

But I digress.

Well, as a serving Canadian soldier, I feel I am somewhat qualified to talk about this.
- A soldier has the right AND responsibility to deny any illegal/immoral order.

The three tenants that Canadian soldiers follow are
1) Respect all peoples
2) Obey lawful authority,
3) Defend Canada from enemies ...

Agreed Chanak, for the most part. It is an extraordinarily complex military situation, one that I wouldn't walk into without a good deal of support.

Bound weapons increase your skill with that weapons class by 10, so if you know any short blade, getting a bound short sword will help.

It also stands to reason that bound armour will increase your skill with that armour.
