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)

Canon: X-Men Evolution
Is canon recognition ok?: He won't recognize this particular version of X-Men, but sure.
Is character recognition ok?: Yup, Wolverine has been in a lot of X-Men arcade games, as well as a lot of Vs. type games.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Go for it.
Comments: Game Logan would be about the same as he is in any other incarnation. He likes a good fight and he's the best at what he does. He's probably a little arrogant about his star power, though. Especially since he tends to get picked a LOT when people play his games. The other characters aren't always so fond of him.
(tentatively)
Character name: Ganondorf
Canon: Legend of Zelda
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure.
Is character recognition ok?: Sure. Since they're fellow baddies, you can play that how you like.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Sure, but I don't want Ralph to suddenly yell at everyone "LOOK A BAD GUY"
Comments: Legend of Zelda doesn't have arcade games. But if you want to, I dunno, headcanon some kind of arcade version of Smash Bros., you're welcome to do so. Personality-wise, YOU HAVE A MEME THREAD TO WORK FROM.
Sokka, Ling Yao, and Spike don't really have any kind of video game presence.
no subject
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure, though I don't think any Tale of games ever showed up in the arcades. Even if they have, it's mostly in Japan |D.
Is character recognition ok?: Yes. He was a bad guy in his game if you want to do something with that.
Is 4th-walling ok?:Yeees
Comments:
Character name:Kazuma Kval
Canon:Blazblue
Is canon recognition ok?:Yes
Is character recognition ok?:Yes. His game has been in the arcade and his appearance recently debuted in the newest game coming out, but idk if you want Ralph to be aware of that new game or not. Otherwise, he can confuse him for another bad guy that looks like him, Hazama.
Is 4th-walling ok?:Yep!

no subject
Canon:Street Fighter
Is canon recognition ok?:Yep
Is character recognition ok?:Sure
Is 4th-walling ok?:Sure
Comments: Remember that Bison is a personal trigger for her, and if you could...avoid mentioning him to her that would be really nice for me.
Character name:Luke Skywalker
Canon:Star Wars
Is canon recognition ok?:Yep
Is character recognition ok?:Yep
Is 4th-walling ok?:Yep
Comments: Luke's been in quite a few arcade games himself, though his personality won't be too terribly different.
Rei has no game presence outside of Japan, so I'll say no about that one.

Canon: CastleVania (which did have arcade roots under the name of 'Haunted Castle' :P)
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure... but Isaac will not know what to make of it. And may become aggressive, who knows. He's a bit unpredictable.
Is character recognition ok?: Sure.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Preferably not.
Comments: Isaac's a prickly, trollish dick on the surface. :I
Character name: Nathan "RAD" Spencer
Canon: Bionic Commando Rearmed (which also had arcade roots - and Super Joe was weirdly the main character of the old arcade game, not him)
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure~!
Is character recognition ok?: He will be a little puzzled, but sure. :P
Is 4th-walling ok?: No thanks.
Comments: Spencer is heck of a lot nicer than Ike.
no subject
Canon: TMNT
Is canon recognition ok?: I didn't catch it, but I heard a TMNT console appears in the movie, so Ralph probably knows some version of the Turtles.
Is character recognition ok?: Yep!
Is 4th-walling ok?: Go for it! Don once played a TMNT arcade game in Luceti, and will be grudgingly fascinated.
Comments: Seriously, what's with the color-coded Foot ninjas.
no subject
Canon:Final Fantasy IV
Is canon recognition ok?: Nope
Is character recognition ok?: Nope
Is 4th-walling ok?: Also nope.
Comments: It's nothing against Ralph! I'm just not fond of all that in general.
no subject
Canon: X-Men Evolution
Is canon recognition ok?: Same as Wolverine, Ralph won't know this version, I'm sure he'll put two and two together eventually (if ever)
Is character recognition ok?: Yes!
Is 4th-walling ok?: I love 4th walling do it do it go
Comments:I'm relatively sure that Storm's been in most (if not all) of the VS games the X-Men are in. She is also one of the god-tier characters in MvC2 (along with Mags and the Sentinel) and is kind of notorious for her attack spams or something idk. And considering this is 90's Storm, I'm sure she's got a flair for the dramatic...
no subject
Canon: Naruto Shippuden
Is canon recognition ok?: No
Is character recognition ok?: Yes
Is 4th-walling ok?: No - mostly because I'd rather he didn't know her backstory and all her fighting moves, etc. Knowing her name and that she's a fighter is fine, though.
Comments: Konan is a playable character in five Naruto video games thus far. Game Konan is probably not that much different than this Konan, with the key difference being that game Konan is ALWAYS wearing her Akatsuki robes.
no subject
Canon: One Piece
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure, if you think he would recognize OP
Is character recognition ok?: Yep. Again, if it's something he'd recognize.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Yep. She'll just be confused.

Canon: Hayate the Combat Butler
Is canon recognition ok?: Yes!
Is character recognition ok?: Yuuup.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Yepyep!
Comments: ...none I can think of! But Hayate's a fourth-waller himself so yeah.
Character name: Phi
Canon: Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
Is canon recognition ok?: Yes
Is character recognition ok?: Yes
Is 4th-walling ok?: Sure
Comments: As far as fourth walling goes, if Phi's told she's a character from a game, she's nooooot going to believe Ralph at all, haha. She may consider it at least, but yeah. I'd just like to ask that if you have him recognize her character, don't mention details about her and stuff to other characters, or to her. If... that makes sense. I hope I worded that right.
Character name: Yellow
Canon: Pokémon Special
Is canon recognition ok?: Definitely
Is character recognition ok?: Sure
Is 4th-walling ok?: Suuure
Comments: yeah nothing to add here.
None of these characters have been in arcade games (save for Pokémon, but Yellow herself was not in any of those games, as far as I'm aware), so I'm not sure if Ralph would know of them to begin with, buuuut. Just in case, yeah, they're pretty much all allowed. :'|a
no subject
Canon: Halo
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure.
Is character recognition ok?: Daisy doesn't appear in any of the games, so I think this would be limited to her armor and weapons.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Only that there's a game that stars Spartans and is a popular multiplayer game, but I'm afraid things... will be quite a bit complicated. I'll copy-paste something I made for Calhoun's fourth-wall post:
Comments:
I'd like things to be canon-limited for her, as I'd rather keep the events after her death hidden for a while (the fall of Reach, the Flood, the very word "Halo", etc). Specifically, Daisy doesn't appear in any of the Halo games, and they're not arcade, but...
Given LAN parties and public events, he could probably be familiar with Spartan armor and their multiplayer games, at least.
no subject
Canon: BlazBlue
Is canon recognition ok?: Sure!
Is character recognition ok?: Yep! BlazBlue is an arcade game, after all.
Is 4th-walling ok?: Sure thing! Tao does some fourth-walling herself, anyway.
Comments: Tao will just be confused about the fourth-walling done to her...and maybe forget it all.
