Take a couple of DQs, Orual.
Hmm, would you say James Bond is alive, but not real. Then again you could say the same for Luke Skywalker. He survives the main films, but is dead in the follow ups several hundred years later on and so it could get confusing. Probably better to say alive does not apply to fictional charactersQuote:
