Pick a profession/race combo
As far as I know a race doesn’t really have an affect on the profession like some other games do. The only slight difference I can think of is a little variation in combat/general animations such as what they look like running and such. Well that and the personal stories for each race.
So I suppose it is more what you enjoy as far as the races story line and appearance. As far as profession, that again depends on your gaming preference such as combat style, where it is PvE, PvP, WvW you like best and so forth.
Personally I don’t like Asura or Charr. Asura in my opinion are just too small and easy to get lost in the mix. I don’t like Charr for their running animation and the way their claws stick out of their boots.
So given that I would suggest simply playing a race/profession combo you have not tired before or didn’t play for very long.
I hope you find the combination that you will enjoy.

Honestly though race is basically a cosmetic choice – pick the one you like the look, or lore or personal story of most.
Profession really comes down to what playstyle you like. They’re all different and you’ll have a much better time playing one you like than trying to force yourself to stick with one you don’t get along with.

I recently had this combo and was just about to set his name and finish the character creation. I thought “holy crap, am I really about to do this?” then pressed back a bunch of times and switched to sylvari.
The world needs more charr mesmers!
If you try it and don’t like it, try charr necromancer.
But Mesmer would be better :-)

Asura warrior, because being small and running around with a hammer the same size you are (and killing most enemies) is awesome!
