Cadpig is a blatant combination of Lisa Simpson with Dot Warner.

Dimentio is a Xerox of Kefka Palazzo.

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    My Erlang Shen is a homage to both Metal Gear's Raiden (and Bladewolf) as well as the rejected concept of Sam Gideon's robot attack dog.

    Who cares?

    I don't even know people IRL!

    All of my original characters are either archetypes, comments on social/pop cultural trends, or expies.

    Look, you're in a very self-referential medium already. Not being referential means that you don't have your tools with you.
