This thread is simply to collect potential FCs folks feel have pretty interesting / unique designs, and will be semi-maintained by staff. These are not intended as "recommendations" or anything, and there is zero incentive to use them over any other FCs unless you just really like the looks. This thread is just a bit of fun for those who might enjoy having such a collection to browse through without as many more-generic designs in the mix, those who tend to get character ideas from seeing interesting designs.
Things that might be considered "interesting" in this case include unique hair styles, unique art styles, uncommon color palettes including but not limited to multicolor hair and/or eyes, unusual-but-still-setting-plausible outfits, etc. We're aiming for characters that are not already overwhelmingly well-known (ex: not chars like Sasuke Uchiha or Hatsune Miku) but also have at least a good handful of art examples to use (ex: not that beautifully designed char from an obscure visual novel who has exactly one image). From semi-popular to pretty obscure, with enough variety available to hopefully meet any image needs.
Entries are divided first into "Feminine", "Masculine", or "Androgynous" post sections. Of course, this is only a rough estimate, and sometimes the staff member adding a char may feel a character looks more androgynous where you feel they look pretty masc/fem, or vice versa. It is also, of course, only to help you find the look you want, and you could certainly use a "masculine" FC as a tomboy/butch/etc female character, any FCs as nonbinary characters, etc.
After this, they are divided by series name alphabetically, so if there are several entries from the same series it's easier to see if you like that art style overall and might be able to search more characters from it.
Finally, characters within a series are listed alphabetically by character name, and each entry includes name, approximated hair and eye colors, and several pictures.
You can Ctrl+F to look for particular hair/eye colors, with categories as follows.
Hair: Red, Pink, Orange, Blonde, Brown, Dark Brown, Green, Teal, Blue, Indigo, Purple, Black, Silver, White, Multicolor
Eyes: Red, Pink, Orange, Gold, Amber, Brown, Hazel, Green, Teal, Blue, Indigo, Purple, Black, Gray, Blue-Gray, Multicolor

{Staff Notes}
1) DO NOT switch from BBCode view to Preview view; it will mess up all the spoiler tag headers.
2) Remember to notify everyone in the #summons channel of staff chat before and after adding any FC ideas, so we can avoid accidentally cancelling out each other's edits and can know when it's safe to do any ourselvesand can come look at the pretties.
3) To add a new series header, use this:
4) To add a new character, use this. Important: the divs are floating to make it easier to add/remove characters and keep alignment, but this means for the first and second character added to a series section, the character codes must not have linebreaks between them. It has to read [/div][div style="etc"] without hitting Enter. Be mindful of this when adding new characters that come alphabetically before others as well. After the second character, however, you can put line breaks between characters to make it a little easier to read through.
5) For the avatar picture, anything more or less square will due; it's coded to resize automatically. Ex: 500 x 460 would be close enough and look fine. Too far from square and the image will squish though.
6) For the spoiler tagged pics, aim for 2-3, with at least one waist-up if not full body. Try to avoid blood or overly skimpy outfits (cleavage is fine, literal bondage gear not as much lol) to keep the list nice for everyone.
7) Try not to add every face from a series at once even if they're all great. :P Also remember if there are any you might want for yourself in the future, it's best not to add them just to be safe. Similarly, if you've played a face and would feel weird seeing it on another character, of course we can't discourage anyone from using it if they want, but best to keep it off the list to not actively advertise either.
