Face Claims
Some members may base a persona's appearance on a celebrity, or choose a celebrity as their "face claim". Triad has put the following rules in place about this process, with the goal of preserving the uniqueness of appearance. Note that these rules are in place for new personas, while older ones will be grandfathered in.
The celebrity I want is already in use! What can I do?
- Change to a different celebrity.
- Talk to the member who already claims the celebrity and ask if they will grant permission. Keep in mind they do not have to.
- Unofficially use that celebrity as a basis for the persona's text description, but you cannot register them with an official face claim.
Is this rule only for pictures?
This rule may seem centered around pictures, but it also applies to the official Face Claim thread on the forums. You can still register a celebrity as an official Face Claim, even if you don't have a suitably modified picture of them for the site. You can find the thread in our Forum Thread.
What happens when I leave Triad?
When you leave the club, your reserved celebrities may be opened up for other members to use.
This could happen in the following cases:
- If you leave the club and have fewer than 40 posts when you leave
- If you fail to meet reqs or are otherwise removed due to inactivity (no matter how many posts you had)
Note that this is not a guarantee that removal will occur, only a forewarning that it might.
