Sandman 0 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hello Board, This may be a silly question but is there any potential for legal action on the part of individual(s) whose name(s) have been used as those of candidates in a fictional futuristic scenario? I ask because the individuals in question may have different partisan affiliations in said scenario and/or be politically inactive private citizens in reality. As a prospective scenario designer I want to be on top of the parameters of the usage of people's names as candidates. I suppose this concern also extends to the use of their physical likeness. Thanks for any feedback. Link to post Share on other sites
mz452 18 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I assume that this references my attempt to make fictional scenarios. If you look at my thread you'll see that I am asking for FICTIONAL characters, not private citizens who are politically inactive or anything like that. I want 100% original creations.

Sandman 0 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 This is a general inquiry as I move forward with a scenario of my own. I'm making no specific reference to any projects other designers may have under development. Perhaps the Admin could weigh in on behalf of 270soft? Link to post Share on other sites
mithcd 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just looking for a quick update on this. Are there any fictional characters being made already? Link to post Share on other sites
