Hi there, plural/system member here. I'm not here to ask about multiple accounts, rather I would like to know where alters would fall under the definitions of "original" or "canon" character. Here are my main clarification questions:
- Are completely original alters considered 'real people' and unable to consent to their likeness being used?
- Are fictional introjects allowed, and do they have to be substantially different from canon?
- Are factives completely banned because they are based on real people?

Hey thank you for your question!

Alters using their likeness is fine, it would be treated like someone using a self insert essentially, which is okay under our rules. It would have to be drawn/written/3d model etc reference though, no body selfies, due to our rule on photos.

For the purposes of clash, we ONLY judge the characters and such uploaded to the game, not who is using them. For this reason, ANY characters submitted to the clash must follow our rules as they are being treated as characters. That includes the no canon character rule, and we can't allow real people to be featured as characters, or drawn for points in general.
