What is the law (if any) in making a character in any sort of publication? For example, if I made a book about a guy called "John Doe", and make his character a mass-murdering psycopath, couldn't a "John Doe" somewhere else in the world sue me for defamation of some sort? Or claim I was victimizing him?
