Not an immediate no, per se. I'm just perpetually wary of people making character's centered around unique concepts and mechanics from the show that have yet to be explained in any way shape or form. That includes the double-soul thing, non-Maiden magic, human/intelligent Grimm, etc. For some reason fans seem to be drawn to making characters around these things, and I dislike it to an extent.

Not because people are trying to make their characters 'special', which is perfectly understandable. I dislike it because they try to make characters around these barely-explained concepts long before the show itself has a chance to get into them, and come with weird explanations for how they work that, 49 times out of 50, doesn't match up with the eventual REAL explanation. And that often leads to said fans either bitching about Canon "ruining their character", ignoring the rules altogether and saying their version is the right one, or both. Trust me, I know. I spent 10 years of my life on Fanfiction.net.
