* At the end of the Kyoto Arc of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', the popular [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Soujiro Seta decides to wander around Japan for ten years, much like the title character. Many fics have centered around his adventures during this time.
== Literature ==

** Bill Weasley. It's mentioned that he is more-or-less an [[Adventurer Archaeologist]], but this is never actually shown.
** The Hogwarts founders. These fics are mostly a vehicle for demonstrating that fanfic writers have [[You Fail History Forever|absolutely no concept of how different life in 1000 A.D. was]].

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has been doing this a lot since the 2005 revival. Jenny from "The Doctor's Daughter", and Lady Christina de Souza in "Planet of the Dead" (last seen flying off into the night in a flying London bus) are perfect examples.
** Not to mention Meta-Crisis 10th Doctor, who, depending on if you count the deleted scene (it's up in the air as to if its canon) will have a TARDIS soon and has Rose with him.

== Western Animation ==
* Koh and the Spirit World in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''? Visited once and vaguely alluded to several other times in ways that seemed to foreshadow a return visit and... nothing. At the end of the series, absolutely nothing came of any of it, making things perfectly open for fanfic writers to speculate like crazy on what all of that build up led to.
** In addition to this is the backstories of Iroh and Bumi, who are both old and have had major influences on the world. Bumi for being Aang's friend before he got frozen and Iroh for being a former General and having actually traveled to the Spirit World.
*** The two can be combined, as it's explicitly stated that Iroh went into the Spirit World and failed to accomplish something there, but it was never stated what that something was. Most speculation suggests he was trying to recover the soul of his son.
** Technically, there was an online game between Seasons 2 and 3 where comatose Aang revisited the Spirit World and had to fight Koh; the creators consider it canon, but it certainly doesn't satisfy as much as watching an episode on DVD would.
** What about Ursa? She
* ''[[Tale Spin]]'' has more than its share of interesting one-shot characters. Many of these have become popular with fan writers and artists, including [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]s Myra ("In Search of Ancient Blunders") and Katie Dodd ("For Whom the Bell Klangs") and spunky [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Princess]] Lotta Lamour ("The Road to Macadamia").
* ''[[South Park]]'': One-shot characters Damien, Gregory, The Mole, and Thomas (the Tourette's kid) are featured in a number of fanfics - but 99.9% of these are for shipping purposes only.
