Just the latest fad in characters. Like Catpeople, Exalteds, Demons, Angels, Vampires...
Vampires was a fad? When?

Can't help but wonder why anyone defined as good would want to destabilize the Empire now. Past bitterness, maybe, but times have changed as far as general morality goes.
Heck, if it's the military police thing, I've even tried to relax that a bit, though you weren't here to see that happen, HG.
I wouldn't do the demon summoning bit, though. The first bit, yes.
...
...
...
Now I actually want to make the concept!
@^: Yeah, I know. I saw it going a bit overboard. None of my characters would want it gone as it is now.
...it'd still make an interesting plot, though. Hmmm... maybe a plot where there isn't so much actual fighting as diplomacy trying to keep the Empire stable?

Vampires was a fad waaaaaay long ago. Early GLoG history.
Angels was a brief fad. Didn't last as long as some of the others, but there were several introduced by different players in a short period. Viola's character Mizeri, and Nephrim, and a few others.

I have a part-time catperson, a bard that was my second character ever, one Exalted (or two, depending on how you count), one dead vampire, and no angels or demons.

That's actually a viable concept.

Rot qualifies as a fad in and of himself?
I think he could qualify as one. Without the diminishing appeal.
*keeps the catpeople fad dragging and dragging...*
Not sure what you mean.
But Butler definitely keeps the catpeople fad alive. He could be crowned king of catpeople if he weren't so Butlery.

*hits with a cluebat*
It was just a general compliment as to Rot's appeal. Take it or give it back.
Compliment?! Mine! *scrambles to grab compliment and hug it*
Thankssss.

Most of the fads tend to be individual players deciding independently to make that type of character. It's like Nexus says 'Hmm... need moar catpeople' and sends out a bunch of inspiration tendrils.
*Except Exalted. That one kind of spread like a virus as players collected Exalted material.

I blame/credit horngeek for all this. Which may or may not be justified.
BWAHAHAHA!
Blame the Storyteller and players of the game God-Kings of Lotus on this forum- reading their crazy/awesome antics got me into Exalted in the first place.
That, and Jukashi, the author of Keychain of Creation.

Seems a bit too powerful in a setting with non-Exalteds for me to have fun playing one.
But I don't mind others playing em. Just not my style.

Good point. If it weren't for Jukashi, I certainly wouldn't be playing one.
Spoiler
Of course, I wouldn't know about Keychain if it weren't for someone linking it in a RB. Which I wouldn't have seen if Phase hadn't named it what he did. And I wouldn't be here at all if I hadn't seen Cog_n_taz mention GitP. And I would never have read that if it hadn't been for Charles Phipps's thread about Eberron. And I would never have read that if not for [scary offline friend A]. And I would never have ...
Okay, I'm going to stop tracing this back and just credit Jukashi for everything.
I've been playing a bard for like... three + years now.
... Yeah, but I never consider Raril a bard in my head. He just doesn't seem flamboyant enough or something. I dunno, it just never sticks there and so I forget almost every time. Sowwy.
