Ophis	No	Fictional characters can be a good source of inspiration, but sainthood should be reserved for entities who had to make choices and sacrifices for what they believed in.

opsima	No	A saint should be someone one can aspire towards. Fictional characters arise from their author's imagination, and its hard to aspire towards a figment of someone's creation.
Matt Arnold	Yes	There is no real person who should be sainted. Any worthy role-model is just an abstraction.
michelle	Yes	A saint's life is a parable, why not allow fiction? It's the illustration that counts.
outlawpoet	Yes	no comment
DrSebby	No	too easy. in fact just one 'perfect' saint could be conjured up, making the whole deal rather silly.
MoEnzyme	No	no comment
Alex Future Bokov	No	no comment
DJ dAndroid	No	But rather another category? Icons - or... something?

simul	No	no comment
pickler	No	no comment
Hermit	No	Some "historical" characters are likely fictional (e.g. Jesus, King David) and some fictional characters likely had prototypes (Prometheus). Still I suggest that we select those we weyken to be real. Reality bites.
