you can only use your own character/s for this challenge.
Which makes my task easy, since I GM'd the game my character's featured in.

Yes*. But bear a few things in mind -- one, it's a lot of work, and two, RPGC is built the way it is so that people can join the staff and try their ideas right here.
*the only hangup is that the contest submissions schedule fills up real fast, so at some point a discussion will be had about standards and limitations and whatnot.

It is perfectly ok. You do not even need to use the setting of that RPG if you do not want to. If you do though, make sure to credit the creators of the different franchises being crossed.
Your favorite character, who is yours, whom you write for. Not a character belonging to anybody else. You may write for characters of your own who are present in story franchise settings, but you may /not/ write as characters who are a part of that setting's actual canon cast, since those would not be your characters. The very first clarifying point in the contest thread even specifically states you can only use your own characters.
This is an ancillary point to the entire topic - the whole point is to use one of your own characters, in any given setting of your choice. Because of [Legal issues] and [Contingencies] I am merely including rules to ensure that if you mention franchise settings or otherwise make use of them, you credit the original creator of that setting. You are under no compulsion whatsoever to specifically use fandom characters or settings.
If any part of the main contest description has led you to believe otherwise, please immediately point it out. Use ANY character you want, as long as it is your own.

When I say 'specific to a fandom,' I refer to a character you might have which exists either predominantly or exclusively within a particular franchise setting, I.E. Homestuck, Fallout, that sort of thing. Such a character may have been made specifically for roleplaying within the purview of such a setting.
If the character is used in a context outside of that particular fandom, then you don't need to credit anybody or anything. If the setting being used within the framework of the story is the universe of a story franchise though, make sure to credit the original creator.
I'll go ahead and edit the clarification to make this point a bit more obvious. In retrospect it wasn't the best choice of words.

I do believe so, as long as you clear it with Mahz and mdk.
