It's one thing to get permission to reboot something or recreate it, it's another to get a no and basically tell the person that told you no to go fuck themselves by doing it anyway. Seriously, people spend a lot of time and effort and energy on their concepts. Ripping them is in no way cool.

If your excuse to do it is "IC =/= OOC" then kindly go fuck yourself. Seen this happen twice today, once to me personally and it's annoying and disrespectful to no fucking end. I don't care how you romanticize or rationalize it; it's plagiarism.

Don't do the thing. On a loosely related note, an anonymous friend of mine who's name I shall not speak was contacted by another anonymous person who's name I shall not speak (he was new to rp and I can't remember his name).

"Hey I liked your char on the RSRP wiki I'm going to use him but make him Zarosian kthxbai."

He didn't even ask, he just announced it. :I lol the fuck

I'd be insanely pissed. He was new but that's still no excuse really.
