Awesome guys; thanks for the link. For anyone else reading this topic: Bad idea to borrow characters form other games:

1. What if the only thing I want to "borrow" is a
character?
Characters are probably the most unique, most recognizable aspect of a game or any other IP. You definitely do not want to use Mickey Mouse, Ms. Pac-Man, Jack Bauer, Pikachu, Harry Potter, Mario, Lisa Simpson, Columbo, Kenny, James Bond, Spongebob, or Max Payne in your game. A resounding NO to this idea. Create your own characters instead.[/font]
