A Crossover of Epic Proportions

Recommended Posts

I have been planning for some time to start a story to show that crossover fictions can work. After all, western comicbooks have shown time and again that characters from both superhero and non-superhero works can compliment each other. So, I decided I was going to write a story that would feature an unbelievably large cast from a large spectrum of genres and title...and I was going to make it work.

Now why am I telling you guys this? Because I want to know which characters you want to see in such a story. I am not going to tell you the premise of it, nor of the type of setting. I just want, plain and simply, you guys to tell me which characters you want to see in a mass crossover story.

Mario Mario - Super Mario Brothers
Calvin and Hobbes - Calvin and Hobbes
Ronald Weasley - Harry Potter
Scar - The Lion King
Bugs Bunny - Looney Toons

I'll think of more. Maybe.

[FONT=Arial]I wasn't under the impression that cast had any effect on a work's seriousness. If you want it to be a serious endeavor, then go at it seriously, and cast everyone suggested as if they really existed. [I]Who Framed Roger Rabbit[/I] was a serious work of fiction, as a reference point.

You can make it work, is what I'm sayin'. It doesn't necessarily have to turn out as idiotic as [I]Drawn Together[/I].

[B]Edit:[/B] You should probably start worrying, because [COLOR=DarkRed]Shy[/COLOR] and I have teamed up to supply you your lineup.

What happened to the days when crossovers were taking seriously?

I can tell you guys right now that 99% of your suggestions will not even be considered. Believe it or not, I am hoping for a serious tone with my story. Its not some satire or comedy - its a serious action/adventure with its share of politics and social rot in its world.

So, no Oprah, campy Batman, or anything else of those goofy things, This is serious stuff!

I really wasn't expecting real life actors! :p

But, here is what I have thus far, to give you an idea of what I am doing. I'm trying to balance it out - I need more comic characters and TV shows.

EMPIRE OF WINDURST

Yuber: One of the acclaimed ?Three Celestial Generals?, Yuber Vuxiong has won the emperor many battles in the previous war. However, he has seemed distant as of late.

Neji Yai: A member of the royal family. He is blind. He is involved a great deal in politics, and is very TDR in the way he does things. Neji supports Ling from afar.

Ling Yao: Cursed to become one of the Wraiths, Greed, Ling has left his homeland in search of a cure.


REPUBLIC OF BASTOK

Queen Selena: The queen of Bastok, she was recently placed into the position by the Parliament to help rally the people. Bastok has recently gotten out of a bloody war with San d'Oria, at the cost of many lives.

Xemnas: One of the Senators, Xemnas is aligned with the Cursed ? those who have been afflicted with magical diseases. The Cursed are treated like second class citizens, and it is Xemnas? goal to not only push forward the hope for a cure, but also to in the meantime, treat the Cursed properly.

Kratos: A warrior gone mad thanks to the death of his family, he in turn seeks to bring as many deaths upon others as possible.


KINGDOM OF SAN d?ORIA

Gramis Solidor: The King of San d?Oria.

Nicholas Fury: The spymaster to the King.

Sephiroth : A senator who steered San d?Oria into the war with Bastok in order to prevent a plague from desecrating both countries. He and his mother, Lady Jenova, have effectively ruled the country for a good many years, although it was in the name of the ?good? of the Kingdom. He lost his left arm in a hunting accident.

Cloud Strife: Fiercely loyal to Sephiroth. Sephiroth sacrificed his left arm to save Cloud?s life all those many years ago. Cloud is the blade, and Sephiroth is the arm.

Orihime Solidor [Orihime Inoue]: A member of the royal family ? she was one of the middle children, being fourteenth in line for the throne. Knowing the impossibility of actually being Queen, she has involved herself in politics.

Giho Dulorne [Ichigo Kurosaki]: A close friend of Orihime, he is her personal bodyguard, as well as secret lover. He is one of the Cursed, able to communicate with the departed and use them in battle.


THE MERCS CORP.

The Mercanary Corps. are split into two divisions ? one is the fighting division, while the other is the info seeking division.

Dutch: He is the head of the Corps. He rarely heads into battle, but he is a stout leader. He?s no weakling, however ? he can pack one hell of a punch.

Alexander Kreuz (Soma Cruz) ? The newest member of the Corps. At the ripe age of 19, he is a well trained, albeit inexperienced, warrior.

The Nameless One: He is rescued by them on one of their contracts. He is now an aged veteran of their many campaigns.

Riku: An orphaned child, he fought his way into the ranks of the Corps.

Monkey D. Luffy: Their newest recruit, Monkey ate the illegal Devil Fruit, gaining amazing elastic powers. The Corps have sheltered him, in exchange for his prowess in battle.

Abarai (Yao) [Abarai Renji

Athena ? A mind reader, she is one of the most ?persuasive? information gatherers the Corps. have at their disposal.

Katherine Pride [Kitty Pride] ? A Cursed, she has the ability to go through walls, desks...pretty much anything. She was to be lynched, but the Corps. saved her.


THE GREAT BELOW


Kreia; The Lady of Betrayal

Count Doom; The Man of Perfection: A scientific genius, proficient warrior, dabbler of the arcane, ruler of the small kingdom of Latveria - there are few things that Victor Von Doom is not. He was slightly scarred in a fight, and ever being the perfectionist, he crafted an iron mask to hide his entire face. He hopes to manipulate his fellow members so that Latveria will come out as the most powerful nation. But most of all, he seeks the destruction of Nick Fury, the man who has proven that he was wrong in so many ways ? mostly in the fact that he is not a great man, for he is run entirely by jealousy and greed. He only mimics the way great men act, but he himself is not a great man.

Kefka Palazzo; The Lunacy ? The first recorded volunteer to go under magical experiments. He was able to wield magic without the use of incantations, but his mind became warped. He now seeks to just destroy. Everything.

UNALIGNED

Albedo Piazzola; The Sigil of Power - Head of a terrorist organization, he seeks to revive his ?brother?, the Red Dragon. He was once part of The Great Below.

[FONT=Arial]Oh, sorry. I guess I got thrown off by the word "epic", which basically translated to me as "frill the rules and damn the torpedoes, and make the cast amazing".

So yeah. I can do "uniform". Just give me a few days. It'll take longer. (^_^)[/FONT]

[color=deeppink]Gar[b]a[/b]k, damn it.

My one and only suggestion is Tommy Oliver from Power Rangers. And I don't want to hear about bow he's not "serious enough." You pretty much said "screw that" yourself when you included Luffy and Riku.

Besdies, if you're good enough, you could take every single one of these suggestions and make them serious.[/color]

[quote name='Matt']Well, Oprah, Bigs Bunny, Calvin and Hobbes, are beyond my skill of imagination, I'm afraid.[/quote]

[color=deeppink][i]Quitter.[/i][/color]

[quote]And besides, both Riku and Luffy are serious characters. They aren't comedic in nature (except for Luffy, to an extent).[/QUOTE]

[color=deeppink]The intent behind Riku may have been serious, but the exectution was definitely goofy. [/color]

[FONT=Arial]Now you're just talkin' yourself out of it. =P

And I'm just going to remind you again of [I]Who Framed Roger Rabbit.[/I] Fictional and non-fictional people can exist side-by-side in a [I]fictional[/I] crossover. If you want a definite theme of characters, then tell the people who you want to throw out suggestions what guidelines they need to follow. Simply saying "epic crossover" and "give me all your favorite characters" is extremely broad, even more so than The Ultimate Showdown Of Ultimate Destiny, and expecting your submitters to be able to read your mind as to what kind of characters you don't want to do and what kind of characters you "can't" do (repectfully, that's a load of crap :D) is a little much, neh?

Now, I want to help you out in whatever vein you want to run. So do [COLOR="DarkRed"]Shy[/COLOR], [COLOR="Indigo"]Indi[/COLOR], [COLOR="DarkRed"]Nerdsy [/COLOR]and [COLOR="DarkRed"]Aber[/COLOR]. Help us help you. :D[/FONT]

[quote name='Aceburner']Oh, right. I should probably try not to spoil it for you.

Try to get to Alabasta as soon as you can, though. Most epic arc in the entire series.[/QUOTE]

Very well then. I'll leave Hellboy for later then. Off to One Piece!
