Hey, I have here a character that sort of skirts the line between "canon character" and "fandom OC" and I wanted to get the mods' opinion of how best to handle him. Namur here has appeared in both the manga and the anime of One Piece as one of the Whitebeard Pirates. Canonically speaking, that's the core of who and what he is, and basically, that's all he is. Another fighter that got drawn a couple of times.

The thing is, because it's fun to play with friends, and I have a couple of pals who play some of the more prominent Whitebeards, I wanted someone who fit into that group. Thus, this guy's personality, his personal history, and pretty much everything else about him came to be- making him for the most part an OC.

I can't really cut his ties to canon characters in order to fulfill that quid pro quo of apping a fandom OC here, but I've never felt entirely comfortable calling him a "canon" character, either. There's just not enough that's strictly canon for him to be playable.

He has been played in several other comms as a fandom OC, but none of them had that specific of a rule regarding character relationships. Thus why I'm messaging you now. Do you guys think he could still join as a fandom OC, due to the connections to canon characters being also canon? Would he fit better as an (Obscure) Canon Character? Would he be just simply ineligible for play here at Genessia?

Full Disclosure: I intend to have him join with some previous-game CR with both Marco and Grell, so that's something to take into account as well. I completely understand if that's a little too much.

Thanks for your time!
