[Data-modeling] Proposed slight tweak to Fictional Character (Possessions to be added)

[Faye Harris]

+1 for fictional character's possessions. There's potential here (as 
well as on "Fictional Character" itself) for a link to the "Consumer 
Product" type in the future for authentic replicas of Doctor Who (TM) 
approved sonic screwdriver. Another bridge between the real and the 
fictional worlds!

+1 for "Deceased Fictional Character" type although this is admittedly 
less straight-forward than modeling real people who alas, once dead 
cannot be revived in a sequel.
