Ah, the characters may be in Court Royale, which you have all rights over; however, you do not own the characters themselves, that right belongs to their creators. The creators are the ones who can do whatever they want with these characters, which includes submitting them in separate fanfics if they wish. I will not use any Court Royale-exclusive characters, but you don't have the right to keep the eponymous contributor-created characters from becoming a part of this story.
