In this thread, you can manage FCs, including changing your FC(s), adding an FC to a character who only has one or who only used original art before, removing (an) FC(s) if you're switching to solely original art, and reserving FCs for near-future characters! If you're looking for the main FC list, go here!
[li]When using 2 FCs for a character, they must be believable as the same person. Some differences can be handwaved (ex: "I want this FC but pretend he has longer hair" or "she wears colored contacts sometimes"), but wildly different looks require an explanation. Recolors are fine but modified art should be provided. [SG can help you with modifying images if you want.][/li]
[li]To add a whole new persona with more different FCs to a character, the persona must be a consistent recurring part of the character's life. A standard stage presence for a Coordinator, for instance, would work, as would a genderfluid character who presents very differently at different times; but an actor playing a role for a month and then never wearing that appearance again, or a Coordinator taking on an appearance for only one performance, etc, could just use an appearance as vague reference temporarily without outright claiming the look.
Changing FCs:[/li]
[li]After an app is approved, you have 1 FC change that can be done at any time. This can be used on one or both claims at once. (Example of changing just one: if I found a pink-haired, pink/red-eyed girl whose face and/or clothes were even better for Sera than Momoi's, so I wanted to change to her, but I wanted to keep Lottie for Fancy Sera clothes and best eyes.)[/li]
[li]After changing an FC, you have to wait at least 3 months to change any FC for that character again, with limited exceptions. For example, taking a Chroma Cookie or otherwise transitioning would always be allowed, and having some massive plot-induced life change that prompts them to change their appearance, would probably be allowed, outside of the normal cooldown-- although it would reset it to another 3 months afterward. Exceptions are handled case by case and require staff approval.
Reserving FCs:[/li]
[li]Reserves are limit 2 per player per month, no exceptions. If you're apping 3 NPCs with your upcoming character, better app fast or just hope people will be polite or uninterested. If you're mid app and you decide you like a different set of FCs better than the one(s) you reserved, sorry but app fast. In other words, it's also best not to reserve one until you're absolutely sure that's the FC you'll want. You could reserve two different looks for two different chars/NPCs or two distinct personas, or two matching looks for a wider variety of art for one char, but still 2 tops. We don't want people reserving, say, the entirety of their favorite series.[/li]
[li]Reserves are held for 1 month. If at the end of the month the FC(s) you reserved have still not been used, they become freely available again. You can still use them, but if someone else beats you to them, it's first-come first-served.[/li]
[li]If you reserved an FC and wound up not using it, you may not re-reserve the same face for at least 6 months. So if you had an idea and lost muse for it, but much later you get inspired again or have a new idea for the same FC, that's fine. But you can't keep re-reserving it all the time just to keep others from using it.
Post-Archival Holds[/li]
[li]After a character is archived, we will hold the FC in case you change your mind. They will be held for 2 months or as long as the character existed, whichever is shorter. (Ex: if you archived after a 3 week run, it will only be held for 3 weeks.) After that, we'll remove it from the FC list and others are free to use it once again.[/li][/ul]
To reserve an FC, please use this format:
When requesting an FC to be added or changed, please use this form. If adding one alongside an existing FC, please include some comparisons (but make sure the images aren't too big). Please be sure to make a note of whether you're adding or changing.
Example:
[b]Pandora Hearts[/b], Lottie Baskerville as [i]Carroll, Serafeyna[/i]
