Named mdf_an characters (Unveiling the Unknown)

BUR #53926 has been rejected.

These characters are named in the game "Unveiling the Unknown," which mdf_an worked on as a character designer. These were all of the ones I was able to find, but there may be more.
Source: https://vndb.org/v45754/chars#chars

Edit: I included a mass update to add a new copytag to all of those posts. It will not remove original since, as I stated below, it would need to be removed manually due to some posts having characters that don't appear in Unveiling the Unknown.

You should also do a mass update to give them a unveiling_the_unknown copytag.

I don't think mdf_an should be referred to as the character designer of this game. This game was made as a derivative of mdf_an's illustration while mdf_an basically knows nothing about the development of this game. Aliasing them feels like aliasing touhou characters to cookie_(touhou) characters.

What are your thoughts on comment #2575575? Where do you think loonamon got this impression from?

I don't know why @ loonamon said that but this is TwistedScarlett60's reply to mdf_an's tweet quoted in my first reply. That means they know each other.

This doesn't seem right, seems like they're borrowed characters that were used with the artist's permission in a VN. They don't belong to that copyright.

I chose to leave the mass update out because each post would need to be checked manually anyway. Some of those posts include characters that don't seem to have any relation to that game.

I guess that means they shouldn't be given those names either. But the fact they have those names in the game means someone might use them to search for them, so we should probably reverse the aliases.
