Fictional characters? Heck, yeah -- they were made up to start with. People bend them into all kinds of pretzel shapes that the author never intended. As long as credit is given to the original creator and no profit is being sought by the fan, whatever.
But real people are... well, they're real people. Who have a say in what they would actually do because they're Actually People. With their own free wills and all. Yeesh.
