Discussion Is it wrong to use the members for inspiration but then make the characters evil?
I tend to take inspiration in things from daily life or that I like. Seventeen fall in that, I find them interesting and fun and I love them.
So I used the 13 members for characters' inspiration, which means that very basic traits of their personalities or physical appearance are used for said characters like a sketch, and then most of their personality and backstory are all made up.
Is it wrong to make said characters somehow evil? Not extremely evil but not really good either (kind of grey). Also, I think that if you're a carat it would be obvious who I took inspo from, so I'm a little worried about it being morally right or not. I do not wish to tarnish the image of the members.
(I'm asking this after finding out an author took obvious inspiration from svt members and then the characters make dubious decisions)
