We should have face claims. This is getting weird multiple character's with the same faces.
What?

This reminds me of when King Arthur, Donkey Kong, and a group of otter-llama hybrids held an intervention to tell me I needed to stop taking LSD.

They were so supportive at the time, but since quitting I haven't seen them even once.

Having a generic face makes character apps less effort.

We're taking FTG's idea?

I am indifferent of this idea, but, I personally think it would be a good idea (it'd be a lot of work though)

Face Claims appears on more than one site than just FTG's, just saying.

I honestly would not mind the idea.

The main problem with this is that almost every character looks simiar to another this is just common in manga so essentially we would now be saying you have to change you appearance because you look to much like Izuru or something. Mods would also have to keep track of every single characters appearance this just seems a bit excessive to me and limiting of rp freedom. If we do something like this id say technique claims should factor in as well

Basically what dark said.

But then again, people can't even remotely look the same. I mean humans looking somewhat like other humans? Come on, that's, like, impossible. Oh, maybe we should also do the same for personalities, cause we don't want people with too similar personalities running about, cause everybody is supposed to be different. Oh, clothing too; gotta stand out other than your natural appearance, so can't dress the same as someone else. Also, can't have similar names, or slightly similar things that happened to them in their histories; two different pirate crews helping out two different people? Impossible. Better check out fighting styles and techniques too, plus stat distribution. Oh, and don't get me started about eye color.....

Do you guys know what face claim means?

It prevents two people from using a picture of the same character from an anime or manga or whatever. So people's text appearances and...personalities...aren't really relevant at all. I don't know where that silliness about technique claims and personalities came from.

Face claim means exactly what it sounds like, not even going to argue the stupidity there.

Titan gets it.

And it's somewhat a very old tradition in RP forums. And it's becoming increasing annoying when 4+ people have the exact same character images in use. It also becomes silly.
What?

But if face claiming did come into effect, would that mean that everyone on the site would have to change their pictures if they weren't unique, and if two or more people had the same picture would it be based off of who had made their character first?

If we went through the effort, a grandfather clause would probably follow, and the rule would only apply to character made after the passing of the rule.

*Warning: Post contains opinions

In my opinion we shouldn't have face claims. That just adds more unnecessary work, and it is just ridiculous. Unless you drew your character yourself or had someone else draw them for you, you are using a picture that belongs to someone else. It isn't your picture to claim and therefore you shouldn't be able to claim it as exclusively yours on any site. I don't mind using pictures as references so people can better picture your character's appearance, but claiming the picture as your own seems asinine and wrong.
