Fringie is a City of Heroes word coined by Raventus on the justice server. A 'Fringie' is an un-original character, i.e. one resembling an already compyrighted character from another source. On City of Heroes this is an inexcusable crime, an Fringie came abiout as a slang word for those 'Copyright Infringing' characters that everyone hates.
