The immediate influx of Au'ra players could also be ICly accounted to the sudden amount of Doman refugees. Could be! Not meaning it has to.
I think it's a good point - how will you stand out as a character?Â
I think it varies per role-player, because ofcourse we're all looking for different things, but I think this question should be important to all the peoples.
I think you can have underplayed characters, or stories (you can see it with tv shows and books) that are absolute gold, and you wish they were more popular. I'm thinking Firefly. <.< By the turn of a coin, these can also be very, very poor, because sometimes different just isn't always appealing. We all love Lalafell, but this doesn't mean just by playing a little person you're character is somehow more solid or creditable than any other races.
Alternatively, you can have a unanimously popular medium that is popular for a reason - it's fun. It's good. It plays at your heart strings. A lot of people liked Breaking Bad. A lot of people like Game of Thrones (I'm not fishing for arguments with any of these examples by the by - I'm just pointing them out, even if you particularly don't find them as such). Again, many of us roll our eyes at "pop culture." Being hip has negative connotations. Perhaps it's associated with not thinking for yourself and following the grain.
Neither is wrong, and ideas and feelings are allowed, and should, differ. As a personal belief, I can appreciate a good, strong role-player and a good, strong character, regardless of minor cliches. How many people play an orphan?
