Ah yes, I think all of us have ran into a character copier sometime on Feralheart before. Personally, I think they can be pretty annoying for stealing an idea that could've taken some time to think of in character creator, but there's absolutely nothing we can do about it. It's not against the rules to character copy-even though it's extremely annoying-because you cannot copyright someone else's markings. I have been seeing people with biographies saying something along the lines of, "copy my character and I will report you and you will be banned!" I'm not sure if that's just a joke or they actually will report you for something so silly, but eh. I once ran into a copier months ago with an old character of mine (Xylina, I think her name was.) Long story short, I was in AI, a character copier came along and literally started logging off (editing their character) and logged back in looking more like mine each time. It was a bit annoying really; I loved that character, even thought I don't use her anymore. I mean, I appreciate that you like my character's design enough to copy it, but you could probably make a better, original character for just two minutes more than you would logging in and logging out.
Anyways, I have to agree with you there, it can be annoying, but there's nothing that can be done.
I've had people copy my characters 4 times. What's worse is that they didn't ask me to take the design, no, they just simply re-created the character and called it theirs. Sometimes they even used the same name. Two of the times it was actually the same person. But I don't usually block them because then I'd be unable to take screen shots etc. Gahh charrie copiers are so freakin annoying >:c

I feel like your signature really pulls it all together XP

Yeah. I mean, at least be civilised enough to ASK if they can have the permission to base a character off yours...
Like the person I said that blocked me everytime I tried to reason with. You have no idea how angry I was... I was actually on the brink of tears because I was so, so frustrated.
A couple of months after they copied me, they went copy my other friends character and blocked both of us. I literally got an entire army to reason with her but no. She blocked. Every. Single. One of them. Oh my god.
