Not sure if this has been explained yet, but where do video game characters that are also real people (such as football players from Madden) fit into the canon? Are they considered video game characters?
Edited Oct. 21 (in case it is correct, I want people to believe me about guessing it): Lund and Shanks may be considered video game characters in this way by being characters in Polybius or Laser Cat, explaining why they are considered somewhat immortal.
