What is a parody character. How can a character be a parody character. Are their any parody characters in here

 

[Huesito88]

Hello?

 

[Antoniofer]

that depend of what qualify as a parody character: is the character comes from a verse whose only objetive is humor like Space Ball (star Wars parody), so shouldn't be allowed. If only use parody like a humor appellant but has his own story like Hayate: Battle Butler, so should be allowed

 

[Huesito88]

So it's all based on humor on a main protagonist

More like the main story, if the serie is basically another franchise but amended in order to makes it funny, isn't allowed

 

[Huesito88]

Ohh I see now

A parody character is usually created to make fun of a concept, trend, ideology, archetype, or story convention. As long as it is notable/popular, original, and from an official work, I do not think that we have a rule against it.

For example, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created as a parody of a mishmash of popular trends (youth appeal, X-Men, martial arts, antropomorphic animals), as you can hear from the name.

Hmmm... do they have to be created just for the parody or just make refer to another franchise is already enough ? Because if it's so then alot characters from Gintama would be listed as parody characters

It is okay to add major characters from popular/notable franchises of course. Even if they were created to make fun of something.
