"Probably not as you are communicating something that is fictional,
and does not represent anything."

There are so many problems with this statement James! Is it your
contention that fiction doesn't represent anything? Or that
practicing designers are representing NOTHING with their personas?
You've got to be kidding me!

Designers are representing their research, their ideas, their
thinking. If you want, they're representing their opinions and
biases as well. 

Design is a creative act. We all have to represent our creative
thinking. We use many tools to do this--and we don't need to claim
that our tools are scientific for our work to be valid.

As for fiction not representing anything... I'll leave that for
another day!
