This isn't about the RP in general, just about some certian members who are beginning to copy the way people's characters look and stuff.

Like my characters, for example. They all wear a bandana and quite a few of them have scars across their eyes, now, everybodys characters wear bandanas, and a few have scars. I have tried telling those people or asking them to change, but I recieved no reply.

I'm wondering if this has happened to anybody else? And what I can do about it?

This has been happening alot, But did you ever report it to a Mod?

Nope, I guess that's why I made this. Maybe I should have...Nah, I wouldn't want to bug them.

Hate to disappoint you, but bandanas and scars are very popular characteristics.

Err..I'm also aware of that, BUT, the two people who I am talking about are new (to the RP section) and didn't start using that until I joined with those characters in a RP with them.

But whatever..can somebody lock this?

I think you have to have some very unique "trademark" on your character. Bandanas and scars... it isn`t good trademark as you can see. It`s popular and are overused...
I think best tm`s can be created in the behaviour of your chars. All of my rp chars have no visual distinction, just because I think that eccentric appearance is ... just ... lame for me.

Just my opinion

XD well I know but I've had my character for years (on other forums also) and I understand that lots of peoples characters have scars, but does it have to be the exact same as mine? No..they put the scar in the same place where my characters was and even copied that she is blind in that eye. And, the bandana isn't around her neck, it's on her back leg. Now theirs is like that, she also wears a chain collar, guess what, so do their characters. They could have atleast changed the color of the bandana..

Now can somebody please lock this..

It is peculiar that they put the same color bandana in the same place (i personally think you're exaggerating) but there's only two eyes people can put scars over and its mostly based fully on the idea of Scar's scar from The Lion King. Besides, it doesn't mean they're copying from you. They copy from everyone.

Why not try a pretty collar?Not many I've seen have those.

I don't worry too much about characters. There's only so much to choose from when you create one, and therefore many characters are going to have similar traits. Unless you legally copyright them under law (which I doubt anyone has done), then there isn't really much you can do about it...
