Finding a picture to go with your character can be really difficult. Just googling 'Jason has yellow eyes, and luscious black hair that compliments his gracious smile' might not give you the results you need. But luckily, this thread is here to help you! If you'd like to see if someone knows just the face to go with your character, post here! If you have trouble deciding between two face claims, post here!
Rules (Don't worry, they're friendly rules, made of cotton candy):
- Only use this thread for characters used in PC roleplays.
- Only ask for help once a week per character. Doing it anymore will be treated as spam. Also, if repeatingly asking for help does not yield result, you might want to change your criteria.
- Always try to give credit. Especially if you found a great piece of character art on Tumblr or DeviantArt, please link to the creator/photographer. It's common courtesy, and artists always appreciate it! Don't worry if you can't find the source though, sometimes there is no artist credited on the place where you found the picture. If you see a picture and you know the artist, and the source is missing, please do comment.

Tips (Also made of cotton candy):
- How specific is your image of the character? If you have a very specific mental image of a character, it's really hard to find an a good face claim to accompany it. It might be better to paint one of those delicious word pictures we love even more here at the RPT.
- What information do I give? The easiest way to find something is with some general characteristics and a personality. A really specific appearance section is always good, but as mentioned above, it's hard to find a satisfying face claim for. If you already have a good description of a character's appearance, a face claim might not even be needed!
- Which one do I pick? If you have two different face claims to choose between, and you just can't decide, this place can help a lot. Instead of describing the character's appearance, just put the name and personality down.

Template (Feel free to take liberties with this, but it's always handy to have something to work off. ):
Name: (The name of your character. It's not really necessary for finding a face claim, but sometimes someone just really doesn't look like a Charlie, you know?)
Gender: (Really handy to know. Brad Pitt might be a good face claim for a badass soldier who lost a lover in battle, but not if that character is female.)
Personality: (This one is important. A look can really complement a personality, and that's why a good personality description can help. Honestly, just copy the one you were going to put in your SU.)
Characteristics/Appearance: (This can be as big or as small as you like. It's generally handy to put down things like hair colour and built, but remember that a very extensive description is less easy to satisfy.)
Style preference: (Basically this is drawing vs photograph.)
