Just because we hid half the letters they're frightened?

Got a cucumber?
we have Multiple characters, multiple personas we use. Why should only one speak at any given moment, hmm?

They're all constructs based on circumstances. Some are more used than others, some are less complex, others more.
Everythin's far too 'uiet 'ere.

wha' b' 'veryone u' tae?
these days, we've got just the one. But we do on occasion delve into multiple. never too many, though. All that ends up with is one or more of them receiving insufficient attention. We tried that once, and learned quickly how it wasn't such a good idea.
We generally work out image first ourselves, but sometimes we need to fix it up afterwards... and of course the image just doesn't pan out. Or the character doesn't quite match our plan. Or something like that. We tend to have more images than we have characters, at least.

Sometimes, an image will just give us a character like that. Other times, the character has to be worked so that it fits an image.

We're not beyond changing a picture so it fits our concept - its not really difficult to tweak hair color, eye color, skin tone, etc.

But sometimes, there just ain't an image that fits a character. That is when those textual descriptions you mentioned higher up here come in handy. It takes skill to do a textual character image that shows fully what a character is like, and even then there's no single answer the way a regular image tends to have.
Ok, we're bored, so we thought to start a bit of a discussion...

Almost everyone uses images of some sort (drawn, photographed, whatever) for their characters. Sometimes alone, sometimes with text on the side. Our question, and topic for debate is simple:

At what point in the process of making your CS do you acquire such?
Heh. This feature is on the suggestions list, and it is fairly high on @Mahz list of features he's gonna make. Not sure how high, though.

see here and the post below. Oh, and the two posts above it.
We finally got the image issue fixed.

Editing in @mentions won't send notification either. But that we think is a known feature.
