Hey guys, I just wanted to get the forum's opinion on this topic as it's pretty popular in the RP world.
Most RP sites use RL people as their avatars/ characters, just so it could be more realistic and easier to picture in their head.
Would you guys want to implement this, by converting over from just describing our characters, to actually using pictures, etc?
This would of course, require your avatars to be changed to said celeb, and the pic/celeb's name added into the application.
I'm personally a fan of this, but for Laylei I would just put a pic of myself, instead of a -celeb-. And remember, you don't have to put well known celebs, either.
So yea, vote on this, or give your opinions!

I'm the one voted other because I like to be different! Also, not really for or against it.

I voted other because I would like it, but let it be optional.

vote yes,
its a nice idea, but peeps should be allowed to use any pic's as long as they have permission or are open source. So their pic doesn't have to be celeb / famous

I've always felt that people using pictures for their characters run into the problem of designing a character to fit a picture, rather than designing an appearance to fit the character. It also ends up limiting people as to what their characters can look like, as some of us can't draw for shit/don't have the money to commision anything.
I personally tend to avoid sites that require pictures unless they're super amazing. Not to say that our site isn't super amazing, but the last one I joined I spent several weeks looking for a picture. I also know several other RPers who feel the same way.
Long story short, voted no.
