Possibly an unpopular opinion here, but I feel it needs to be voiced nonetheless. I'm against this vote because I find the use of recognisable models very distracting. No matter how different a character's personality is from their model's, I always end up assimilating characters with their models. The most stand-out examples I can call to mind are, oddly enough, Hydro's characters. Kairo's previous model was Makoto Tachibana, who is one of the main characters in Free! (which I shamelessly watched), and no matter how often I rp'ed with the character I always thought of him as being 'Makoto'.

My point is, some anime/manga/game characters are so popular that it's difficult to associate them with anything other than their canon personality etc, which I why I think those models who are at that level of fame shouldn't be used for models on this wiki. I think, to judge whether or not a character is too famous, there should be a more rigorous voting system, rather than just one user going "lol nice try you can't use them they're too famous".
