There are lots of "tribute" characters in ER. While the player might be drawing inspiration from a character, as long as the name itself isn't a trademark I don't think there's anything wrong with it. New players often base their first character on a favourite char of theirs from somewhere else and as they play them, find that they have their own personalities that emerge. Sure, a cute redheaded mage named Willow is an obvious Buffy reference, but I don't see it as a problem that requires mod attention. If that's the name of her character, and that's how she RPs her, then that is how she should be chronicled here. We encourage all kinds of RP here - fun, serious, tongue-in-cheek blizzard references and dramatic. Far be it from folk who play in a game where auctioneers are called "Orly" and "Yarly" to take themselves too seriously.

I'm tempted to make a page for Haris Pilton, myself. Y'know. On her behalf. --Krelle 09:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
