What are your table conventions?
What do you agree upon as a social contract prior to session 1?
Any specific, system-agnostic, house rules at your table?

No characters of fantastical ancestry at my table unless I've got a lot of experience with you as a roleplayer to be able to trust it, I am willing to be a lot more allowing in just straight up being a full blodded fantastical creature though.

>All dice are rolled in the open
>Minimize any out-of-character conversation when the game starts
>The GM doesn't move characters and doesn't narrate character actions.
>GM narrates failed checks
>Players narrate successful checks
>Keep turns brief. Describe where you are, what you do, and what you say
>Talk during the table is assumed to be in-character, including planning
>Players should avoid interrupting eachother
>Share the spotlight with eachother
>Players are responsible for moving their characters, giving their characters goals, and progressing the story
>No alcohol. Other drinks are okay. Food during breaks.
>Players can co-create the fictional world as long as it's plausible. Co-creation is not used to bypass a challenge and must make sense in the fiction
>The tone of this game is based on (insert reference). Everyone should take the experience seriously and respect the tone.
>Players should find a reason to be adventuring together. No lone wolves.
>Sexual violence can be implied in the setting, but any sexual acts are fade to black. No romance scenes.

These are ours.

>any sexual acts are fade to black. No romance scenes.
Genuine question, why do you do "sex scenes are fade to black but you can NOT promise your heart to a knight"?

Are there any games where GMs move characters? What are you on about?

Sequencing - in matter of the day decision priority goes to the person that showed up first.
Seniority - in long term matters decision priority goes to the person that has been around longest.
Tradition - things are implicitly same as last time unless one of the above explicitly overrides.
Commitment - deal is a deal, keep your word to the best of your ability.

There are shitty GMs out there just like there are shitty players out there.

No characters of another gender. My wife once played a premade male character and it was just too confusing for everyone.
