Hey ho! Taking a crack at this again. I'll make sure that the characters I want to write as [i]originated[/i] from a video game this time [i]before[/i] putting too many hours into musing them, that was a blunder. Sorry, Yatogami Tohka, your Light Novel came first before your game.

That said, I have a couple questions:
1. Do visual novels count as video games?
2. Are characters from a simultaneous multi-media franchise (that includes a video game among those medias they started with) allowed? An example of this is Synduality, a multi-media project by Bandai Namco that launched off as a video game, anime, and music album simultaneously.
3. Would there be any logistic issues for characters that primarily fight in a vehicle / mech such as Armored Core pilots? Should they be avoided?
