How are you defining what race a player is? Do they have a variable such as race = "goblin" or race = "human, or are they based on type paths (/mob/human, /mob/demon, etc)?

just the simple
<code> mob var race = "" </code>

and this is how it is changed
                var/race = input("What were you born as?","Choose a Birth Race") in list (/*"Moki",*/)
                switch(race)

                /*  if("Moki")
                        mobcreation = new /mob/PC()
                        mobcreation.race = "Moki"
                        mobcreation.icon = 'Moki.dmi'
                        mobcreation.powerlevel = 150
                        mobcreation.powerlevel_max = 150
                        mobcreation.ki = 150
                        mobcreation.ki_max = 150
                        mobcreation.strength = 10
                        mobcreation.strength_max = 10
                        mobcreation.defence = 10
                        mobcreation.defence_max = 10
                        mobcreation.contents += new/obj/Techniques/Regenerate
                        mobcreation.contents += new/obj/Transform/Transform
                        mobcreation.Karma()

oh great another zeta rip but the code you showed above would work but here is what i would try something like this
obj/Character
    var
        BaseHP=0
        BaseMP=0
    TestCharacter
        icon='icon goes here.dmi'
        icon_state="icon_state goes here"
        BaseHP=1000
        BaseMP=1000//you can set their base stats here
var/list/AllCharacters=list(new/obj/Characters/TestCharacter)
mob/verb/ChangeCharacter()
    var/obj/Characters/I=input("Change Character")  as null|anything in AllCharacters//shows the list of all availiable characters
    if(!I)  return//If nothing is selected return nothing
    src.Race=new I.type//set their race
    src.HP=I.BaseHP
    src.MP=I.BaseMP

but if you want to let user select different player race then something like this
obj/Character
    var
        BaseHP=0
        BaseMP=0
    TestCharacter
        icon='icon goes here.dmi'
        icon_state="icon_state goes here"
        BaseHP=1000
        BaseMP=1000//you can set their base stats here
var/list/AllCharacters=list(new/obj/Characters/TestCharacter)
mob/verb/ChangeCharacter()
    var/obj/Characters/I=input("Change Character")  as null|anything in AllCharacters//shows the list of all availiable characters
    if(!I)  return//If nothing is selected return nothing
    var/list/AllPP=list()
    for(var/mob/M in world) if(M.client)    AllPPL+=M
    var/mob/user=input("CHange whoes")  as null|anything in AllPPL
    if(!user)   return
    user.Race=new I.type//set their race
    user.HP=I.BaseHP
    user.MP=I.BaseMP
