So are we meant to fill this page in with the correlations between PhoenixFeathers characters and RealLife people?  Would that not detract from the fact that, whilst early PhoenixFeathers strips were based around RealLife quotes, the storyline now bears no resemblance to the RealLife situations? --M-A
On the one hand, that wasn't quite what I'd imagined.  On the other hand, finding out the correlations shouldn't really be a problem, as long as they're treated only as "researching the background to PhoenixFeathers", if you like.  Inspirations to the authors to put particular character traits together in particularly distinctive ways :) --AC

It might be helpful for those of us who don't actually know most of the people involved!  And, much as I hate to suggest it, it would be a decent place to explain any new characters that are introcduced.  (Ah heck with it, I'm way beyond the EventHorizon? of how many characters are involved.)  --Vitenka
Heh.  I suspect any /new/ characters won't be inspired by anyone in particular... I'm pretty sure that's the case with /Sylvai and the rest of the /LOVECommittee, to take a major example.  Since PF started more in the spoof-Cambridge parody-quotes mould, and has moved more into the fantasy-and-plot world, the real-life inspirations are getting less relevant.  Um, the PrincessTutu crossover pt01 pt02 notwithstanding.  But, for example, the bottom (the earliest bits) of [this quotes page] may have some familiar lines.  --AlexChurchill

Hmm.  I was more interested to see how easy it is for people to guess who didn't already know.  For example, I suspect a lot of readers won't even know the inspirations for /Niea and /Tamma; whereas /Nikolai may be one of the most easy to guess.  The means which people use to make these deductions/guesses would also be interesting.  So I hope nobody objects, but I've snipped M-A's list, which was 100% accurate except for not thinking /Niea and /Tamma had inspirations.  (See Revision 4 for the Spoiler-type answers - but if you don't already know, I'd be interested to see your guesses first.)  --AlexChurchill
CH is quite proud to have got all of M-A's list correct, except for Kurai. But that's a case of insufficient knowledge of the source.

Hm, who could Tamma be? And why would M-A not have realised? And are the two connected? Hm? Hm?
