I mean as long as they aren't the spitting image/name/personality/relationships of another character, it can't technically be called plagerism and is your own creation.

I agree that if they have the same appearance, name, personality and relationships, that it's pushing it but some of the people who have made these characters inspired by other influences (like myself) have strived to make considerable differences in their personality, history and even relationships with other characters inspired by the same group.
