can you turn yourself fictional character like jesus?

Yes. And in fact I have done just that. Not just like Jesus, but better than Jesus.

When my son was in basic training for the US Navy, I sent him letters that contained my personal journal entries, several times a week. The fictional me in these journal entries thwarted an alien invasion, confronted an killed an evil necromancer in the abandoned mining tunnels far below my house, slew a dragon and made pants from its hide, among other amazing feats of fiction. Any single one of my fictional adventures was easily more exciting than anything Jesus ever supposedly did during his fictional existence. So, suck it Jesus!

Why not? A couple generations later, nobody would have known him so what difference would it have made from that point on if he was real or fictional?

I too would like to know if Anakin's dick burned off in the lava. Did Darth Vader ever get laid?

Or, indeed, Vader himself.

Star Wars is set 'a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away' (Gospel of St Lucas, 1977:1). For us even to know about the events, we must be in that galaxy's light cone, and even the nearest galaxies are a couple of million lightyears away; so Vader is a fictional character from at least 2 or 3 million years ago, and more plausibly (if we accept that the 'Local Group', as its name implies, is insufficiently distant to qualify as 'far, far away'), in the order of tens of millions, or more plausibly thousands of millons of years.

A few thousand years is, frankly, nothing to get excited about. Come back when you have a fictional character a few thousand aeons old, and we can talk.
 
The Jesus character is realistic in this respect:

the Essenes lived in various cities but congregated in communal life dedicated to asceticism (some groups practiced celibacy), voluntary poverty, and daily immersion. Many separate but related religious groups of that era shared similar mystic, eschatological, messianic, and ascetic beliefs. These groups are collectively referred to by various scholars as the "Essenes." Josephus records that Essenes existed in large numbers, and thousands lived throughout Roman Judaea.

Jesus may have been married, may have existed, may have lived to a ripe old age, may have never existed any where near the stature suggested, may have been seen drunk out of his mind in a tent by his kid.

Way to take a stand there, dude.
 
Given the nature of the social structure of the time and place, it probably would have been highly unusual for a 33yo male to be single. Or (if he had existed), at least without a general suspicion that there was something seriously wrong with him. So if he existed, he most probably would have been married.

Given the social structure of the time and place, many people of 33 would have buried a spouse or two, not to mention several children. Perhaps the Big J had already got his family life over and done with by then.

I'm a Geotech Engineer. I know when the evidence simply doesn't exist to even posit a guess.

I'm an oncologist. When the evidence is inconclusive for us, we just wing it and go with whatever treatment nets us the highest billing rate. Most of our patients are going to die anyways, so it's not really important if we're accurate.

Inconclusive? What evidence? You need at least some shred of evidence for it to be inconclusive. We know jack.

We go the other way. Apply a factor of safety to our calcs of one zillion and charge you a lot of money.
