Regarding fictional versions of real-life famous figures

[Dark Link]

The only potential exception to this rule is if a member (somehow) has explicit permission from the person in question to roleplay as them.

So what you are saying is we should totally play ourselves and give ourselves permission to play ourselves?

I don't know about whether you 'should' do that (personally, I wouldn't consider it to be a good idea ), but technically, you could. We've actually already had a case where a member used their own likeness (i.e. photos of themselves) to depict an OC.
