Character creation in a video game can make or break it. Having a great game with lame characters is every bit as bad as having a lame game with great characters. In fact, character creation is so important that entire groups of people are assigned to create a single character in a game. But not all the characters we’ve come to know and love (or hate) have been completely fabricated from the imagination of the creation team behind them. Often they draw from real-life inspirations - so are some of our favorite characters based on real-life people.
