Well technically this particular site (HiO) doesn't have face claims, not like other sites. So whoever you choose to represent your children, someone else could also choose the same ones to represent their children. I'm not saying they WILL but since there's no rule at the moment preventing the same face claim to be used for your PC, iNPC, family members or children, it's always a possibility!

I personally find it kind of odd if someone else has the same face claim as me... imo that's way too confusing (which is why most sites have face claims so whenever you select one, no one else can use it) unless they are specifically related to you or your family in some manner. Like there are dopplegangers out there in real life that resemble you but they don't look 100% the same.

If they DO look 100% the same, it's because you have an identical twin somewhere in your family that was kept from you. But that's just my take on things. I like things to make sense.

having a fc claim forum would be unfair to new users considering people who joined earlier would've gotten first dibs on who they want as their fc. it's really not that big of a deal if someone has the same fc as you, you can either make a plot out of it or just completely ignore it. this is a fictional rp website, so yes sometimes people don't look exactly the same irl even if you are doppelgangers, but this isn't real life so their can be a bit of leeway if two people look like florence pugh for example, and technically your character is already a doppelganger of whoever you chose as your fc.

it's unfair to new players and really everyone if only one person is allowed a single fc. so yeah, maybe other sites have a fc claim forum but hio doesn't and i personally don't ever see it being added because i think a lot of us prefer that we can have whoever we want as our fc.

I used to have Mackenzie Foy as faceclaim, which I shared with at least four others XD
