## Notes on Redistribution

Every avatar included in this project was verified to permit redistribution
before being added. Avatars that were marked "Redistribution: Not Allowed"
have been removed and replaced with permitted alternatives.

Character names and franchises (e.g. Zenless Zone Zero, Fortnite) are the
property of their respective owners. These models are fan-made or
community-created works shared under terms that allow redistribution; no
affiliation or endorsement is implied.
