Unfortunately, I don't think I can make a non-slayer character. I kind of already hit my character limit and even the atual quantity of characters I already have is hard to cope with to the point where I'm considering dropping one of the RPs I'm in to get some extra time.

That is perfectly okay, thanks for letting me know. =^.^=

<Snipped quote by AngelofOctober>

I normally avoid getting into discussions like that when it doesn't involve my own characters or cause any sort of direct impact on my life but this time I actually feel compelled to point something... Isn't that too much of a selfish action?

I mean, taking a famous character as your face claim is quite the normal practice for roleplayers to start with - hardly qualifying a reason for refusing a character. Also, It's important to realize that even if someone decides to take a famous character as reference for appearance they're not obliged to make a character identical to the referential appearance, they're merely providing some visual reference to make it easier for us to visualize them, and even if they do decide to take some aspects of the original character it's not like it will ever be a complete copy - after all the development of the character will always depend on the specific environment and how they interact with it.

Anyway, ignoring the whole half-drunk speech about how you should be able to do the character the way you like and repressing that is wrong, the point of this whole discussion is pointing that refusing a character because you personally don't like the way it was made is kind of going against what RPs stand for. It's not like they're doing metagaming or shit like that, it's just roleplaying a character based in a concept they liked, repressing this without a concrete rrason is just forcing you personal beliefs into someone else - an abuse of you position as GM.

P.s. Shirogane Naoto is a she. She even declares that.

The issue wasn't that they used a popular character for a face claim. In fact, I'm perfectly fine with that aspect. However, at the same time, if you go in with the intent of using that character, it's the character that inspires you. Not the image. So you end up taking aspects of that character. And while true the character depends on their environment, it's still not a good thing to be taking ideas from characters. Though, it's not something we're going to deny a character over. So there is no need to worry of abuse of GM power. :3

I'll read the character stuff later when I'm actually awake. XD
