Okay! So. This Permissions post applies to video game characters, primarily those who have been in arcade games.
Here's the general lowdown on Ralph's world; video games exist in their own subworld, each "game" being connected by railroad tracks running through a hub known as Game Cental Station. The film primarily deals with arcade games, although some of the characters who cameo appear to be console-exclusive. The difference between arcades and consoles is not touched upon. But basically, all characters are self-aware that they are in video games. In Toy Story fashion, they act out their roles in the games when people are playing the games. But once the arcade is closed, they act freely, throwing parties or leaving to Game Central Station. They act like punchclock workers and can also visit each other's games. Also, everyone accepts the role they were programmed for without question, to the point where it affects the way they look at each other. This is part of the root of Ralph's problem, since he's a nice guy offscreen but everyone only sees him as the bad guy. A support group exists for "bad guys" to feel better about themselves. The bartending video game Tapper's is another social area for video game characters after-hours and has autographed photos from various famous video game visitors. Oh and when an arcade game gets unplugged, it ends the world, and people have to evacuate to Game Central Station or they will "die" permanently. Dying outside of your own game also results in perma-death. Those who evacuate will become homeless video game characters, so anyone from a particularly ancient swept under the rug arcade game could become this.
So, about that fourth walling. Of course your characters aren't self aware in the same way as Wreck-It Ralph, but he will still recognize characters from the games represented in the movie as well as other video game icons (Mario is mentioned at one point without appearing). However, a majority of Luceti's video game characters are RPG ones, and I feel that he is less likely to know of these. So, I will kind of automatically handwave that he is unaware of them/their games. But let me know if you'd like Ralph to do otherwise, like recognizing someone from a Bad Anon Support Group meeting or something. And if you want, for video game characters not accepted in the movie, I will accept your own headcanons about how their Wreck-It Ralph counterparts act when they're outside of the games. These can go in the "Comments" section.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other further questions. My plurk name is![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
