Furthermore there's no evidence that she actually tried to copy you. There isn't even proof your character was here first or even that she knew of you. You post as if everyone should be familiar with you and/or your character but I don't remember seeing your character before today. While not conclusive, Iromi's join date is before yours, this at least implies her account and possibly her character were here first.

I don't know who copied who or even that there was an intentional copy but it seems to me like this was just a case of limited options and similar tastes for characters. I assume you have a lot invested into your character but calling her disrespectful for this and being angry over it is a bit much.

Clones naturally exist. I have a few myself though even then they are never exact matches and my characters are quite simplistic by comparison with very few distinguishing features, it's absurd to assume people stole "my design", you are right. Though it's delusional to believe in the worse-than-lottery like chances that all of those critical details were conveniently coincidental as in the case with a character like K'mih who has a lot of variety going on.

Clover never implied that she was well-known or popular or anything of the sort and I should know well since she hates that kind of attention and would sooner shy away from it, but given her activity with posting screens it's natural to assume the design was mirrored. As for the "who was first" matter, K'mih finalised her appearance in December 2013 when the hairstyle was released as per here. Meanwhile, Iromi Fantasia'd a month ago.

Lastly, Clover expressed what was at best a discomforted and unhappy tone, if anything it was I who worded myself in a manner that sounded agitated. I'd rather people not make exaggerated accusations just because she made one post to express herself x_x


@Zaine
I understand that you want to defend your friend but can you at least have the common decency to express your opinion without being obnoxious? Everything was relatively civilised until now and it would be nice to keep it that way, as much as I hate the idea of further derailing the topic...

Her characters, not unlike mine, don't have a ton of classes levelled on them. She levels one job per character so she has a different aesthetic for each Job. K'mih just happens to be her Warrior. It's barely even related to RP. It makes the game less monotonus and more interesting.

And for the record, not one person in the topic asked or even suggested she change her character. The only thing even vaguely close to that was me making a remark that if she actually decided to do something like that on her own then I would happily pay for it as a gesture of goodwill, since I'd appreciate her consideration.

@Fluffer
Clover & Kaelah do not even know each other. I am her 'friend' in his instance and my only contact with either of them was both this post and the last. I didn't say a word until now because I didn't want Iromi to feel 'ganged up on' despite sharing the same sentiment as Clover. Zaine is getting very carried away, unfortunately ;


While maybe it's not my place to say it, can we all leave it there? The hyur thread already had a drama of it's own and I don't want to see people getting frustrated over the same thing happening here.
