So just because I'm paranoid and I need to make sure I'm 100% clear on the character selection and creation: we can pick characters from folklore and children's books and such and twist them in any way we want to, from their appearance to their backstories, as long as they're fundamentally the same characters?

If I'm understanding that properly, then I think I'd like to reserve Huckleberry Finn and Alice in Wonderland! [@Undine]
