Okay, even though this just occured to me as a coherent thought, it has been an incomprehensible annoyance to me for my who Gaian life: Why does nearly every roleplay require a picture or your character?
This seems like an elementary enough question at first glance, to be sure; the obvious anser is so that everyone has a clear picture of what your character looks like. However, consider novels. You know, those pictureless books from which the rolplaying style on which this guild is based is derived. We manage to read them just fine without picutures. How, you may ask? The human imagination.
Why can we not simply have a detailed character description? To be sure, this does go beyond most novels' degree of appearance characterization, but to a far lesser extent than do the pictures we use now. Escpecially in this guild, where the key that separates us from every other Role Play guild and their dog is literacy, one would think that a detailed description would be enough.
Thoughts?

The Count of Monte Carlo I usually prefer to use pictures, both because I'm too lazy to type out my character's description and make it seem interesting, and because I want everyone to see my character the way I see them. And when the RP is mine, I usually don't care which is used, as long as the descriptions are good, or the pictures took at least a little bit of talent. (Someone once tried to join an RP of mine with a stick figure on lined paper as their character's pic.) .:: Like a butterfly through a paper shredder...
