Helpful Hints:
- Imagine how your character looks.
- Attempt to find an actor, singer, or other famous person who most closely matches that mental image.
- Make sure they are not on our list of current PBs (below). The list does not include PBs in use by NPC characters (temporary characters).
- It's useful to choose actors that have many pictures available on the internet. You can use them for icons.
- We are not a celebrity impersonation community! We simply choose likenesses to help fellow readers envision our characters.
The PBs of current writers are reserved (former and current characters) as long as they're in the game. If a writer leaves the game, their old PBs may be reused. Final approval of reused PBs remains in the moderating team's hands.
We ask applicants to avoid picking an iconic face from other vampire/werewolf, etc. genre and placing them in a similar role. For example, please don't request a Gary Oldman PB for your ancient, super-powered vampire (see 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'). It will be difficult to separate your new character's identity from the one portrayed on film. In other words, don't attempt a thinly veiled crossover. :)
We don't reserve PBs (first come, first served).
Your PB does not have to look 'Victorian' in their icons. Of course it's nice to be atmospheric, but not crucial.
