Anime Character Images

[Haibane]

Hello site mods and admins, I'm seeking clarification over a proposed RP using images of characters from the Japanese animated TV series "Evangelion".

Another Elliquiy member and I are discussing a potential RP that will include sexual elements.

The animated series has three main characters that are aged 14 in the series. Our proposed RP will be set 4 years later, in an alternative universe spawned in part by events at the conclusion of the TV series. The 3 main characters in our story will be aged 18.

We would like to use some images of them, most likely just faces, but probably also some fully clothed full length images.

We plan to avoid ALL images taken direct from the TV series and associated film.

We are looking at fan art that depicts the characters a little differently and in many cases has them set at an older age.

We are specifically not going to use any images depicting the characters in school uniform.

Is this a permitted course of action under E's rules? I can, if you'd like, supply a few images for you to comment on.

Thanks.

In theory, if you plan on using 'aged up' artwork that looks sufficiently old enough to meet Elliquiy's rules then yes, those images would be allowed. If you'd like to PM examples to a member of Staff we can give you a more specific answer.

I've sent some suggestions on to you by PM.
