Read the reply shortly after you posted, so I'm up to date.

Not too familiar with Deus Ex myself, but my fiancé gave one of them a try awhile back.

You're doing well with Kefka, so that (you basing characters off him) makes sense to me. Psychopath characters are fun for me to write too, under good circumstances. From what I remember of Galuf, he was pretty entertaining.

On my end, I don't so much model the way I'm portraying the Final Fantasy characters off of my story characters - since I'm doing the best I can to keep them as true to themselves as possible - but I'll use ideas from my own characters to fill in any of the gaps where I feel like the character lacked depths or fleshing out due to video game characters often being more simplified. So while I take inspiration from my main work, I still believe I'm staying true to the canon characters.

I'll be waiting to see the response.

Edit: I've been hit with a pretty severe headache, so I may or may not be able to post after you.
