I was wrong: I feel like a lot of people here are, at the least, mildly politically incorrect. I agree, saying that Dave is a default human being is pretty wrong. Actually, the default human being would be African, because if anthropology is correct those were the first humans, not Caucasians. Therefore, Africans are the so called "Default" humans.
Believe it or not, there are probably more races than one that play Star Made. Having more default avatars that people of those race can play would help make the game more relatable to them, so it's also a business aspect. To those who don't want to choose a default race, can choose green or orange.
There is more wrong with having a single white, Caucasian male (The richest group in the world) as the default avatar than having multiple avatars of all people of different color. That's the view from a social aspect.
However, Star Made is a game, where social issues should never be represented. This is true. However, if someone wanted to play as a character that Dave did not look like, he would be able to pick another default skin without painting his own. My character on Ragnorak is olive-skinned. Someone may want to play as a player who changed his skin tone to green. Someone may want to play as a character that is African. We should cater to these people and allow them to easily change their avatars.
An even better idea is a having a character modification screen, which you can access through a genetic cloning bay/Super Barbership or the first time you log onto a server/single player.
