Stealing other people’s unique lines, attributes, mannerisms, and so on is not good rp.
Alright, you might admire that person’s speech pattern, catch-phrase, unique body-part description, item, skill, whatever, and wish you’d thought of it yourself. But ripping the idea off blatantly does not make you just as clever. Or your char as cool as theirs. It makes you a char thief, a copy-cat. And makes your char a second-rate facsimile.
What about, instead, admiring that original idea, or mannerism, or look, and thinking of one of your own that’s just as good? Otherwise we end up with a game full of clones of clones and not only is that boring, it's a bit distressing for the people who thought of it – and rp’d it successfully – in the first place.
Now, I'm not saying we can't be inspired by others, or try thier thing out some time. But be sensitive to that player's rp. And try to vary it a little, so you're not a total carbon-copy.

Keep this in mind when you people are talking about your <insert color here> hues. It's definately a trend that has caught on over the years, but was very rarely ever used correctly because it was never analyzed close enough. Just keep that in mind at all times, okay?

Technically, a hue refers to a certain color or shade of a color, does it not? Just strikes me as odd that people refer to their eyes as hues when the color of their eye is a hue. Simplistic writing can often be just as appreciated as pretty words and unique phrases.
