I feel people have been frankly been cutting it too loose with what characters they decide to use for art, it's like more and more these days people just want to make lazy carbon-copy characters from games and anime that they enjoy.

This to me is a prime example of that and why I think it deserved to be stopped, this is a ridiculous concept that just pushes it too far.

Rayman's a pretty distinct character, it's hard to see him as anything but Rayman. Even if your reasoning ICly was all fine and you slap on a different nametag and call him a "robot", that doesn't make it okay.

Lemme just try and compare this to an example so you get what I'm saying and why this is an issue:

Let's say someone wanted to use Sonic as a playby, it'd be easy to try and justify that by saying "well, he's just a weird guy in a costume." You could say it's not breaking the lore because it's just a costume, right? But it's still breaking people's immersion because it's hard to see anything but Sonic and he clearly doesn't belong in the world of Sigrogana.

That's more or less why I told you to not use that playby anymore because he doesn't belong here and I feel that would only spoil the experience for others and encourage people to use playbys like these.


... And while I also have issues with how you try to justify this in roleplay too, that's besides my main point so I'll just boil it down to: Just because it's a fantasy setting doesn't mean you can be anything you want and just because players can be X, that doesn't mean players can be Y.

(I.e. Just because players can be Papillions, that doesn't mean players can be floating disjointed Mechanations.)
