Every Application, that is to say, every character, needs a Face Claim, otherwise known as a Play by. These are usually actors/actresses, but they can also be musicians, models, or just someone famous in general. I made this post because it can be very difficult to find a play by, especially as the site begins to expand. There is also another important limitation as well.
(This is taken from the forum Caution 2.0, discussing the use of child play bys.)
It has come to our attention that the use of children as play-bys is prohibited. As a form of child exploitation, we cannot and will not allow something like this to continue. From this point forward, any resources of or containing persons under the age of THIRTEEN will be removed from Caution's forums. We will not be allowing play-by suggestions, graphic resources, etc. of such nature. Whether or not the child is famous makes no difference - using them is a violation against minor and is very discomforting to both the parents and child in question. Please keep this in mind when using children as play-bys on your sites, as sites have been shut down for this kind of thing. If you see any resources or other things on Caution that you feel apply to this new rule, please PM a staff member to have it removed. Below is a list of children that should not be used on Caution or elsewhere.
Basically, don't post pictures of kids under the age of thirteen (born after [whatever day you make your character], 1999) ALSO: The following people have stated in the media that THEY WILL NOT ALLOW THEIR PICTURE TO BE USED REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE.
-Zoe Kimball
-Lara Jade
-Frieda Rose
-Lauren Peralta
-TwiggX
Okay, with that rant over, I'll get started on the Suggested Face Claims.
Another Few Basic Rules for Common Courtesy.
1)Please don't take a claim with a suggested sibling or a twin and then not take the sibling and put it up for a wanted claim. It's just greedy. If you want your character to be an only child, take a play by that doesn't have a sibling.
2) This is still a Work in Progress- It always will be because there are always new movies, or actors, or famous people coming into the public eye. ALSO- Please Check out the Face Claims here before you choose your play by.
3) Yes, play bys can be actresses or actors, but they can also be singers, musicians, talk show hosts, game show hosts, "Scene Kids" from Myspace, Athletes, basically- take who you want, but as the face claims get used up- don't be afraid to be original and use some other people instead!
