I'm pretty sure you joined SchoolRP not so long ago, so you may be inclined to think that allowing a wider diversity of characters might sound like a fun idea and bring more people to the server.

However, there's a reason why this rule has been in place for the longest time. SRP is a Slice-of-Life roleplay, meaning that it's meant to replicate a realistic environment that characters can consistently roleplay in without having to worry too much about specific roleplay conditions. Most players find it easy to roleplay in SchoolRP because they don't need to read any of the lore (though I think they probably should) to start roleplaying.

If SRP added this, they would need to rewrite the countless lore documents in the forums, not to mention this would also take away from the appealing realism that SchoolRP brings to its users. Furthermore, there are other servers out there if they're looking for a more fantasy-like roleplay. SRP is fine as it is with its current realism guidelines relating to character creation.

Playing pre-existing fictional characters (i.e Harry Potter) isn't allowed for a multitude of reasons. Develop your own characters! Trust me, playing someone you have created is sooo much more fun than playing some random movie character.

Playing pre-existing fandom characters I feel would take a large part of the fun out of SRP (not including previously made OCs) make your own character! Have fun with their story! It’s always more fulfilling when creating a new character and seeing how it’s grown over time!

As someone who is currently playing characters whose- not actually original characters, I feel compelled to put in my two cents about this

I am not that much of a creative person in making new characters, and if I do make actual original characters, it ends up simply being a self-insert of myself just put into Karakura. Furthermore, I just.. don't find that much enjoyment playing OCs. Nevertheless making one. It's just never been a thing, I think. I'm sure others will likely say that it is to be expected or its fine if it's a self-insert, but I have already made one such OC when I first started in SRP. I do not want a repeat

I find playing characters who I'm already familiar with in their personality, backstory and who I actually actively like to be a more enjoyable experience. But I do not simply just take characters from their universe and just plop it in SRP- it's not a multiverse rp server. There's- really a simple way to 'bypass' the rule of not playing already existing fictional characters into SRP- by not bringing their canon media's storyline into SRP.

Instead, you can change their last name, adjust their backstory to accommodate Karakura's more simple setting, maybe do a bit of fine-tuning of their personality to accommodate your roleplaying style. Probably say that your character's bright colored hair isn't actually natural and it's just dyed and leave it at that. And with a base like that, you can toss your not-actually fictional character into the Karakura world and let them develop naturally

I wouldn't really call this an 'Original Character', because in a way- it's not original. I did not think of the initial complexities of my characters' backstories or personalities- they had already existed, just adjusted to fit into Karakura's world. I would never have been able to think of this myself, so I never shy away from the fact that 'Yea, this character right here? Yea, it's exactly who you think it is' if there comes a day someone actually recognizes them from their existing canon appearance

In the case of the main characters I play in SRP, however, I can confidently say that they are different from their canon media counterparts. Canon Hiiro would not do the same things as SRP Hiiro as done, the same thing for my other character, Tatsumi. Why? Because even if their appearance, personalities and backstories are based on their canon media, the experiences they have gained and the relationships they formed are completely new- shaping their character into someone eventually different that makes sense in the context of Karakura's setting

That said, I will still give this suggestion a major -1 due to the lack of substance to the suggestion other than 'it'll be funny'

I will also place my -1 into this. I am not someone who can take and adapt characters into Karakura by any means like Zacizach, I enjoy making my own characters but in any case, adding the ability to bring Fictional characters fully into SRP will as Yonion said will mess up the timeline, leading up to many of the lore documents to get rewritten and so on, non the less, most of fictional characters (if added as is) will not function well in a realistic setting.


.. plus it is to prevent someone duplicating characters. Imagine how many people will make the saaaame characters with no change if this happened? anyways also do make sure when you write a suggestion to add proper reasoning and logic. Funny is not a reason. >:(.

Thank you for your suggestion!

- Unique characters don't have to mean your character can't reference or have similar personality traits, mannerisms, or hairstyle (just a few examples) to a fictional character, it means you should have a unique appearance, character name, and description; these are known as 'Original Characters' rather than just becoming 'Batman' for example.​
