Well even then I wouldn't use it as a matter of favorites. And even then it's simply a matter of rule following.Well firstly I don’t personally care, in fact I tend to request written description an purely for this reason. It’s easier for people to just describe what they want their character to look like than bother with images.
However a rule is a rule.
And if everyone else in the role play finds a way to complied with it and you do t than you shouldn’t get special treatment because you can’t find the exact image you want.
Not I’m using the general you ( as in you the theoretical player ) not specific you ( as in marira )
To me it’s about two things
Aesthetics - so everyone looks the same
And also uniformity among players. Everyone has to follow the same rules to get their characters accepted.
If you the player don’t like the rules than that just isn’t the role play for you.
Because yes I would rather keep the rules equal and avoid playing favorites than be like
Well I like Bobs character sheet more than Toms do Bob doesn’t have to follow the rules but Tom does
But, I'm willing to give the benefit of a doubt that over the span of a few years there's a much better shot of finding something in a specific style than any other.
