OC Crossover? Interest check!

So I had this idea...

Remember all those crossover RPs that were and, um, are still popular over here? Especially those ones that involve a group of characters crossing over and journeying to other worlds? I always really liked that concept, the idea of a bunch of characters in a grand adventure across the multiverse, but I was thinking of doing something a little different to shake it up a bit.

Basically, all of the characters and worlds crossing over would be original creations of the players. It would be played like a crossover between fandoms, but of course the actual "series" involved would be of the players' own devising. For one thing, this would immensely cut down any incidences of a character recognising another character from a work of fiction.

Of course, there might be a little bit of ironing out needing to be done with this concept, which is why this is an interest check rather than a signup thread. We'd probably need to figure out how to work out how (or even if) differences between worlds effect the characters, and how to balance things if someone wanted to introduce a serious, down-to-earth world whilst someone else wanted to make one that was completely off the wall and filled with magic robots. And as for tone... Well, I'd be willing to allow darker moments, but I'd kind of want it to be ultimately somewhat idealistic in tone, as cynicism has never sat well with me.

So yeah, basically... Would anyone be interested in an RP that crosses over our own fictional worlds rather than the usual established fictional worlds? ...And would anyone be willing to co-GM seeing how I kind of suck at GMing? >.<

Definite interest!

I have a character in mind too, eh-heh.

I'm interested. I have two settings of my own to choose from, so... I guess I have plenty of choices to make.

And I wouldn't mind helping out with GM'ing.

Would be interested but I don't have a universe to contribute.

Sounds interesting. I'd definitely join if I can come up with any decent ideas, ehe.

Also, um, I'd definitely help GM.

Definite interest. I'll probably have something Techno Trash Cyberpunk to contribute.

Ummmm... this actually kinda already exists. In Writer's Block. The "Character Development" threads? I believe the current one is "Character Mansion"...

...And?

Well, I just don't see the point in making this when you could just go and RP over there. The premise of this RP is pretty much the entire stated purpose of those threads in the Writer's Block subfora, so why make another one?

Because we want to do it here. Simple.

Um... no it's not? Just because OC's are involved doesn't mean it's the same thing. I took a quick look and it's just in a mansion and not even slightly like this. It's like saying there can't be more then one crossover. Or more then one Fate RP. Especially when, beyond including one element, they're wildly different.

...In fact I can't see where you're coming from at all; this is as much a World Building exercise as well as a character development thing, whereas what you're comparing it to is just "some characters are in a nondescript room, see how they bounce off each other."

@KSPAM: Leave.

Anyway, personally I think it's for the best if characters aren't really effected by being in other worlds. It lets people's ideas shine more, eh-heh.

Um, but that's just my opinion.

Fine, fine. Have fun *leaves*

Interest here

Besides logical reasons and different functionality of universes, I see no reason why things would be different in other universes. Sure, if the universe is purely and exclusively female I can understand people getting gender bent. Now, I don't understand how you lose control over your own Chi just for being in a different universe or have your biology and/or powers severely corrupted. If the universe follows a set magic pattern, I can understand learned magic being messed up but device and innate magic should remain fine.

Besides that, I'm definitely interested in this.

I think from past experience the problem is with worlds with an explicit Fisher Kingdom bent.

Again, I'm pretty against that sort of thing.

Hm... Probably gonna consider Nicholas Santos or Nick Chida... Probably.

Psy, no nesting multiverses. :p

Interested. Possibly.

I'd be against stuff changing about the characters when they go to different worlds too, to be honest.

Wait, when you mean OCs, do you mean OCs in RPGs or OCs in general?

OC's from original settings.
