Duplicate Character Guide
This Guide will be expanded to cover every type of duplicate and give you an idea what to do, using examples.
New Version
- No Duplicate
- Update the character's thumb and image to use the new appearance
- Use additional images to reflect the old appearance on the old title
There's a growing trend of remaking 90's anime with new art styles. When this happens, do not make a duplicate. Instead link t he character to the new title, then use an additional image to show the new art style.
Parody Series
- Duplicate
In the case of Sailor Moon h-game, I think it best to have a degree of separation between the official characters, and characters in a parody.
Personality Change
- Duplicate, depending on extent
I found Evil Phase Iruma to be a new character in their own right.
Secret Identities and Hero Costumes
- No Duplicate
Saitama / Caped Baldy, Izuku Midoriya / Deku and others like them, I do not feel need duplicates or any special actions. You can use Aliases to note their Hero name, and Additional Images to show their normal and hero appearances.
