Celebrity Face Claim Rule

[car]

We need everyone's input on removing the celebrity face claim rule. This would remove any obligation to have a human face claim for your character. Artwork would be accepted.

I'm one of the Discord members and ngl the main reason I haven't even joined the RP is because of the requirement of a celebrity faceclaim. When I design a character, I usually base certain parts of their appearances off of people I know IRL and I use different traits and characteristics from people I've known or talk to to help build a character that feels like someone I would know personally. This means it's very difficult to find a real life faceclaim because of that very personal aspect, and I would really like to avoid associating a real appearance of a real, living person with their own lives and personalities with that character, much less a celebrity's appearance. And I would also very much not like to take pictures of people I know IRL to make a faceclaim either for similar, if more intensely awkward reasons. Just my two cents in general, and I'd respect your decision to keep the ruling, but it's just something I personally cannot do myself.
