Uploading historical characters?

Posted 4 years, 18 days ago by Satyrical

Am i allowed to upload historical characters such as roman emperors as characters here on toyhouse? They have been designed by me, and pieces of their story are written by me, while other pieces are taken from historical documents. They are part of a story i am writing.

Same question goes for greek gods or other mythological figures that have a lot of their past already written by myths?

I'm not sure about mythological figures, but I asked about historical figures a while back and this was the response I got:

"Regarding OCs based on real people, we do not permit them even if they are dead. We recognise historical retellings as a valid genre but real people shouldn't be uploaded because they aren't OCs. That said, roughly in line with our canon character rules, if you were to make a character based on a real person but is just an inspired OC with a different name and identity, this would be fine."

So you can take inspiration from a real historical figure, but you can't for example upload Alexander the Great as a character because Toyhou.se prohibits uploading real people (even long dead ones) as OCs.
