In what way is what CK said a personal attack? Sure, you could argue it's badly worded--but it isn't an attack. Besides, I don't think the pre-existing characters are the focus here; it's the new ones being created specifically to fit these new groups. Inspiration is fine, but when it gets to the point you're making categories for them?

I would also like to point this out: you said Ck was "not exactly fond of the idea"--so? We're all "not exactly fond" of things, but if there isn't anything technically wrong with them, we let them pass. That doesn't mean we personally think they should.

And there are some characters on here that go a little far--I like a lot of these new "inspired" characters, mostly because I'm fond of the characters they're based off of--and there should at least be a limit if nothing else, just like with the models-from-shows think Jisk mentioned.

There is no need for this to turn into a war--if you have to go get "inspired" by other works just to make new characters...maybe you shouldn't be making them?
