A reason I never bothered opening up requests as it is.
I simply hate it when people go ahead and 'character-hop' or whatever, saying that the preset is neccesary and what-not when NO. It is not neccesary, and it never really was; especially when this is a character that lasts for like- what? A few days? No-one wants to do preset requests for a person whom will use their work of art which they tried hard on, and spent their free-time doing something that more or less benefited the requestor rather than the creator, for when it comes to requests; it isn't commisions, the creator is not payed for their work. They create their pieces- literary pieces, music pieces, art pieces, you get it- out of kindness for the other person and ask for what is basicly nothing but at least a small sense of gratitude in return. I apologise that I'm trailing off into the 'ungrateful requestors' side or things or whatever- the last few statements would suit that thread rather than the last.
But, as others have stated- why use a character for such a short amount of time? If you don't like him or her, or the character will possibly die soon, then why would you request a bloody preset for the thing. It is more or less a waste of time and perfectly good character-material. Which is why when it comes to roleplaying and not writing a bloody novel, it's best to re-use characters rather than make new 'batches' every time. Who cares if they died in one roleplay? Doesn't mean they can't be there in another roleplay! This is not a book where everything happened happened, and every character gone and dead is dead, the end. So, at least re-use them if you are going to request a special design.
