Post Fox for changeling I'm wondering about a new character, there are a couple of problems however;
I've already thought of and discarded at least half a dozen ideas and kiths (all non-pooka, as it's one of my policies to switch 'class' post character retirement) but I can't seem to find any that have any attraction at all yet, the problem is that Fox was a really fun character and so far, any other character idea seems positively mundane compared to playing him.
It's likely, as usual, I need a few months to 'cool down' and get him out of my system, so to speak. When you play a character a lot, especially an intense one, they tend to stick in your mind (at least for me) and become a part of you, MPD time such that you can almost become them - which is part of the escapism attraction in a way. But that means there needs to be a cooling off period for me where the persona drains away again... but what next...

Boggon? I quite wanted to try and create a strong Boggon character and bring the Kith up out of the eves a bit more, but I can't think of a concept thats compelling enough or not just a one trick pony.
Eshu? They've never really attracted, they're just... well, I don't know... maybe thats a reason to play one - because they don't seem to have anything about them.
Nocker? Theres enough good Nocker players out there that they don't need another one.
Pooka? No repeats. No repeats. No repeats...
Troll? Never struck as particularly interesting, although the whole Troll honour system could be good if taken further to Klingon/Troll (ala Earthdawn) extremes, but thumping things (the basic troll purpose) is not interesting to me at all.
Redcap? A good intense Kith, but I'm not sure their aggressive side is something I can do well.
Slaugh? The whispering would drive my throat to ruin, and I'd have to whisper properly or half the point of the kith is gone.
Sidhe? I've played umpteen holier-than-thou types already
Satyrs? No real attraction to the kith, their passionate nature and typecasting isn't something I think I can work well with.

So what?

Then a bit of cooldown time is probably the best idea.

That said, since reading this post, and quazi-inspired by your recent community creation, the thought of Augustus C. Babacombe IV, Satyr Adventurer, and his assistant Patsy, has been rattling around in my brain, and doesn't want to die.

hehe, I like playing sidekicks, that would be a good boggon concept ;)
