Also sidetengent, can I us Overwatch characters as Allusions? Not "Allusions", at least not in the same sense as canon characters's allusions. Modern Videogame Characters as allusions feels.....too extreme and not in a good way. It'd be ridiculous if a character alluded to Batman, or Darth Vader.

But as inspiration or basis of some aspect(s) of the OC, it's fine, and has been done at least once in canon (Just look at Adam, AKA Poor Man's Vergil).
