These are only examples of the races you can choose from, same as the pictures
Dwarf
Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, knowledge of the earth's secrets, hard work, and their capacity for drinking ale. Dwarves value gold, gems, jewellery, and art objects made with these precious materials. The dwarven sense of justice is strong, but at its worst it can turn into an unhealthy thirst for vengeance. Some dwarves have also been known to succumb to greed and to favour accumulation over justice.
Dwarves stand only 4 to 4½ feet tall, but they are so broad and compact that they are, on average, almost as heavy as humans. A dwarf's skin is typically deep tan or light brown, and their eyes are dark. Their hair is usually black, grey or brown, and worn long.
Dwarves get along fine with gnomes, and passably with humans, half-elves, and halflings. Dwarves are usually lawful, and they tend toward good. Adventuring dwarves are less likely to fit the common mold, just as they are likely to be the ones who did not fit perfectly into dwarven society. The chief deity of the dwarves is Moradin, the Soul Forger. Dwarves speak Dwarven, which has its own runic script.

Elf
Elves mingle freely in human lands, always welcome yet never at home there. They are well known for their poetry, dance, song, lore, and magical arts. Elves are more often amused than excited, more likely to be curious than greedy. With such long lives, they tend to keep a broad perspective on events, remaining aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance.
Elves are failry short and slim, standing about 4½ to 5½ feet tall and typically weighing 85 to 135 pounds. They tend to be pale-skinned and dark-haired, with deep green eyes. Elves have no facial or body hair.
Elves consider humans rather unrefined, halflings a bit staid, gnomes somewhat trivial, and dwarves not at all fun. They look at half-elves with some degree of pity, and they regard half-orcs with unrelenting suspicion. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression. They lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. Above all deities, elves worship Corellon Larethian, the Protector and Preserver of life.

Half-Elf
Most half-elves have the curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition of the human parent, along with the refined senses, love of nature, and artistic tastes of the elven parent.
Half-elven height ranges from under 5 feet to almost 6 feet tall. Weight usually ranges from 90 to 180 pounds. Half-elves are paler, fairer, and smoother-skinned then their human parents, but their actual skin tone, hair color, and other details vary just as human features do. Half-elves' eyes are green, just as are those of their elven parents. A half-elf reaches majority at age 20 and can live to be over 180 years old.
Half-elves do well among both elves and humans, and they also get along well with dwarves, gnomes, and halflings. Half-elves share the chaotic bend of their elven heritage, but, like humans, tend toward being neither good nor evil.

Human
Humans are the most adaptable, flexible, and ambitious people among the common races. They are diverse in their tastes, morals, customs, and habits. Given their penchant for migration and conquest and their short life-spans, humans are more physically diverse than other common races. Skin shades run from nearly black to very pale, hair from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight), and facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Humans typically stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier then women. Humans have short life spans, achieving majority at about 15 and rarely living even a single century.
Among the other races, humans are known as "everyone's second-best friend". Just as readily as they mix with each other, humans mix with members of other races. Humans tend toward no particular alignment, not even neutrality. Unlike members of the other common races, humans do not have a chief racial deity.

Halfling
Halflings are clever, capable opportunists. Often they are strangers and wanderers, and others react to them with suspicion or curiosity. Halflings prefer trouble to boredom. Relying on their ability to survive or escape danger they demonstrate a daring that many larger people can't match.
Halflings stand about 3 feet tall and usually weight between 30 and 35 pounds. Their skin is ruddy, their hair black and straight. They have brown and black eyes. Halfling men often have long sideburns, but beards are rare among them and moustaches almost unseen.
Halflings try to get along with everyone else. They are adept at fitting into a community of humans, dwarves, elves, or gnomes and making themselves valuable and welcome. Halflings tend to be neutral and practical. The chief halfling deity is Yondalla, the Blessed One, protector of the halflings. Halflings speak their own language, which uses the Common script.
(Halflings are kinda like Hobbits)
Male Halfling
Female Halfling
Gnome
Gnomes are welcome everywhere as technicians, alchemists, and inventors. Gnomes adore animals, beautiful gems, and jokes of all kinds. Gnomes have a great sense of humor, and while they love puns, jokes and games, they relish tricks - the more intricate the better.
Gnomes stand about 3 to 3½ feet tall and weigh about 40-45 pounds. Their skin ranges from dark tan to woody brown, their hair is fair and their eyes can be any shade of blue. Gnome males prefer short, carefully trimmed beards.
Gnomes get along well with dwarves, who share their love of precious objects, their curiosity about mechanical devices and their hatred of goblins and giants. Gnomes are good-hearted, and even the tricksters among them are more playful than vicious. Luckily, evil gnomes are as rare as they are frightening. The chief gnome god is Garl Glittergold, the Watchful Protector. The Gnome language, which uses the Dwarven script, is renowned for its technical treatises and its catalogues of knowledge of the natural world.

Half-Orc
Half-orcs are short-tempered and sullen. They would rather act than ponder and would rather fight than argue.
Half-orcs are as tall as humans and a little heavier, thanks to their muscle. A half-orc's greyish pigmentation, sloping forehead, jutting jaw, prominent teeth and coarse body hair make his lineage plain for all to see. Half-orcs like scars. They regard battle scars as tokens of pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans and age noticeably faster. Few half-orcs live longer than 75 years.
Because orcs are the sworn enemies of dwarves and elves, half-orcs can have a rough time with members of these races. For that matter, half-orcs aren't exactly on good terms with humans, halflings, or gnomes, either. Half-orcs inherit a tendency toward chaos from their orc parent, but like their human parents, they favor neither good nor evil. Orcish, which has no alphabet of its own, uses Dwarven script on the rare occasions that someone writes something in their tongue.
