Can we put celebrities in our MA arcs?


Decorum

I got an idea that amuses me...but it involves well-known celebrities in a certain field.

Is that allowed? Or is it against one of the rules?

Qr - what, like Memphis_bill and lady_sadako?

If they give you permission, I guess. I've asked for permission to use prof backfire in an upcoming arc and he's given me the nod.

Ask first, politely, is my advice.

MArcs:

The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)

I think he was referring to more the Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton, Brad Pitt, Simon Cowell people.

It is my understanding that you can't have an NPC named Paris Hilton or one named Haris Pilton or some such obvious parody, but you could parody the stereotype that she represents without issue. Frenchie Linossi, the daughter of the Italian shipping magnate became famous for her blatant refusal to wear underpants in public, and accidental revelation that her father supplied pro-Rikti forces with money and goods.

You get the point across without causing issue.

Ah...so I have to be "sly" about it. I can do that.

edit: I remember back in the day...I saw a guy running around with a "Freddie Mercury". He was hilarious...he had a LONG list of keybinds that used titles of Queen songs to fit every situation. So he would get the "generic-hero" tag, eh?
