I mainly write other people's characters into my stories here because that's my understanding of how the shared community is supposed to work, and because it adds to the fun. Life would be much simpler if I stuck only to writing my own characters for my own enjoyment.

For God's sake, just call him Nick O'Time or something and be done with it. The story was too good and relatively important to let it go to waste.

Hell, make it a younger version of Wang. That'll add some strange layers into the narrative.

The characters you've written about have basically become your characters anyway, considering you've penned them more than anybody else. Stop being a worrywart and serve your audience. (I don't want to sound like a prick, but I will if I have to.)
