If you find yourself unhappy with your race, you have available to you the ability to reincarnate once in your life-time for free. See HELP REINCARNATE for more information.

While races may and often do intermarry, mortals are all one or the other, determined by womb-choice during gestation. To put it simply, this effectively means there's no such thing as a 'half-breed' amongst the Sapience races.
