Basically, we've been allowing doubles of characters on a case by case basis. It's come to our attention how difficult and sensitive this can be, and it'd really help us know what you think.

Feel free to be completely honest but be tactful of it. Do not call people out, do not make examples of people who are not comfortable being made examples of and if you get into a discussion with someone, keep it civil or take it to IM. I will freeze threads if I see people are getting too personal or heated (and you can happily IM me and tell me I was wrong if I mistake your passion for anger, consent would be needed from both in the discussion.)

Basically, double characters, yay or nay? How do you feel about it? What are the pros and cons of it, in your mind? Should we allow instances of it, or should we just ban it all together? Should it not be so black and white?

There was some discussion on this post here about it earlier, if you'd like to expand on ideas or whatever you like.


We are not going to force anyone with doubles to drop their characters, this is in no way going to affect any of you so please don't feel the need to get defensive! We just want to know, for the future, what we should consider. ♥ thank you, in advance. :D

And this brings about my thoughts on Tales and other canons, where the continuity spreads over CENTURIES.
What if someone apped Symphonia Martel- via ressurection not different timeline like Kharlan war and shit, but we already have Phantasia Martel, who, though she has a similar personality, is not the person Martel specifically. And the thing about people coming from earlier times, though I am opposed to any things like that regularly- I can't see anyone doing that with ToS and ToP because they are set 4000 years apart and the only similar characters are the summons and Martel. So I don't think anyone will suddenly Fast Forward them in time, it's just too much time to cross canonly with the comm.
Same applies to X and Zero from the MMZ and MMX series, where it's been 100 years and their personalities are widely different- where X becomes beyond responsible and a kind guardian angel from the pacifist and wuss- and Zero turned into a quiet rock hard fighter from an arrogant jerk with skills that own. And it's hard to scew time like that over a few months or years, cause we know, though amusing the thought is, DDD is not gonna' last a century, or probably even more than a few more years, sadly.
I'd say no to doubles where the years between are only like 2 to 10 years.
