If you read the manga '2nd break' it shows various characters from across different works, Lydia from 'Alisa in underworld', Geese and Marguerite from 'those who break Taboo', Silva and his team from 'Return of the messiah'. Various stories with different authors and from different mediums all woven together in one connected storyline. It is one connected universe, this is why people mention the LN and Manga. These authors also don't own these characters, the franchise does. Like them, Ryuzaki does not own Yuu Kannagi, he was mearly hired to write him on behalf of the franchise. Yuu belongs to the franchise, not a single author, and he was comissioned after burst because theys when they got more serious with expanding the series. I beleive I mentioned in regards to custom characters, 'canon' wasn't an issue when the game was created, it was something that happened after the series expanded, and GEBurst was the first expansion.

ReO did not canonize Yuu, After "knocking on heaven's door" Yuu was consistently used as the protagonist in various works, GE2 made him the 'default' alpha 1, Pachi slot did a short anime of the game using him, all the series mentioned above are linked in 2nd break which shows him as the protagonist. Literally everything except for the anime and spiral fate say Yuu is the 1st protag so for a long time it has been very clear that Yuu was canon. I only brought up ReO because you said that Yuu was not canon to the game, trying to seperate him based on media. ReO is just the best example that proves you wrong on that.

On the matter of Lenka, first Ufotable does not own him. Lenka was created as part of the god eater franchise, thus the franchise owns him and whoever has the license can do whatever ithey want with him, including marketing Cameos. Second, Lenka was not reconised as Yuu's counterpart, he made a brief cameo in a comedy skit beside Yuu, so the franchise is clearly making a distinction between them. I like Lenka's design and I wouldn't be again him making a canon cameo like Aki, but he is his own thing. Finally the difference between Lenka and whatever character you or other players create, is that you aren't part of the company. You have no lisence to make changes to the brand or to create and add characters for them thus you have no legitamecy. I already said our original characters are all in the realm of 'fanon', it's no different from fanfiction.

This is not dragon ball, God Eater has never presented itself with a multiverse or alternative timeline setting. There is one canon storyline, with the Anime and Spiral fate being off-shoots. Your character is fanon only, that's just a fact.
