Intellectual property
How Flamify handles named characters, real people, deepfakes, and copyrighted worlds.
Named characters and copyrighted IP
Flamify does not host characters drawn from copyrighted intellectual property. This includes:- Named characters from a series, comic, game, show, or film (e.g. “Naruto”, “Lara Croft”, “Hermione Granger”).
- Recognisable storylines, locations, or fictional worlds that belong to a specific franchise.
- Scenarios that instruct the user to “play as” a copyrighted character.
- Visual likenesses that are clearly intended to depict a copyrighted character, even if the name is changed.
What is allowed
- Original characters in the style of a genre. Cyberpunk noir, magical academy, isekai-adjacent, space opera — all allowed.
- Characters that evoke a vibe or archetype without using protected names, storylines, or visual identities.
- Genre tropes, narrative structures, and setting conventions that are not themselves copyrighted.
Parody and transformative use
We leave narrow room for parody, satire, and clearly transformative work that references a copyrighted property without reproducing its specific characters or storylines. We apply this narrowly and case-by-case. When in doubt, the character will be rejected with an explanation, and the creator can adjust and resubmit.Real people
Characters that are, depict, or are recognisably modelled on a real person are prohibited. This rule is detailed in Prohibited content → Real people and in Principles → Real people are off-limits. The rule covers:- Celebrities, athletes, public figures, politicians, internet personas.
- Private individuals (named or visually identifiable).
- Fictional characters whose appearance closely matches a specific real actor or model (deepfakes, face-swaps, or AI-generated likenesses).
