As my time as a member lengthens, I start to consider creating my agents. I have a couple of characters lined up (they're from one of my original universes), but I have a few questions about their suitability as agents. I thought I'd ask them now so I don't waste everyone's time later.
1) Is it OK to use characters from an original universe? It's essentially World One, but with more magic, werewolves, vampires etc.
2) They're twin brother and sister (for the purposes of argument - it's actually more complicated than that). I've seen married couples, but I haven't seen any sibling pairs as agents (apart from Rose/Ross, and it would be difficult for those two not to work together). Is the lack just because no-one writes them, or is there a PPC policy against it that I don't know about?
3) One of them is named Felagund. The newbie FAQ mentions that major canon characters who die in canon shouldn't be recruited, but he's not the original Finrod Felagund; he was created through a combination of over-zealous RPing and magic. However, since I'm going to be killing Tolkien badfic, it might cause confusion.
If these guys aren't going to work, then no harm done, I'll use someone else. I'd really like to use them, though.
Thanks!
