Quick Note: I don't like including properties that are in the public domain. So don't expect anything from a video game or TV or most pop culture icons to show up in Sire. But I also don't like the idea that any medium is inherently more noble or weighty than any other. A prose book can be trash, and a game can make a profound impact on your heart. So let's just say that they haven't yet had enough time to have Lineage Children.
(But Bruce Wayne is totally the Lineage Child of Zorro, who is the Lineage Child of Percy Blakeney. Totally.)
Understanding that there will not be any non public domain characters in Sire, does that mean that /technically/ Bruce Wayne/Batman exists in the Sire/Evil Plan universe because of his lineage? At the very least The Company or the villains they fight should have at least some Lineage Children, right?
Either way I've spent a lot of time thinking on Lineage Children "fan characters" for use in Tabletop, for some reason I never thought about using classic cinema. Mr. Jefferson Smith would make a FANTASTIC Sire. Their child doomed to fight corrupt Washington, media refusing to carry his message and completely broken by those with more power than him.
@stkbayfield: Well, it wouldn't be impossible for, in the 30's, a rich, orphaned businessman to have fought in the shadows against gangsters with a few colorful characteristics. The comics might've embellished the truth a touch (or a lot).
I remember asking about if plays count when I was asking for permission to use Sire as a base of inspiration for a story I was writing. Not that the lineage children I had in mind were used, but I believe I asked about it cos I was thinking of having a Medea child and Macbeth child in the story.
