So... A little while back I posted this idea in the Looking For GMs thread, and I decided to just give it a go myself. Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a major block in actually figuring out how it would work, ahah.

The basic idea is, of course, a crossover of different series. Not all that uncommon here, I know, but the twist is that every character would actually be an OC from an established series rather than a canon character. So for example, one player might be using an original Pokemon Trainer, whilst another might be using an original Sailor Senshi, and a third could be using their own original Kamen Rider.

As for plot... All I have right now is a vague idea about mirrors (specifically mirrors, and not just any reflective surface) acting as gateways to other worlds, which a villainous faction (may or may not be playable, we'll see) have been using to move out and cause trouble in multiple universes. Of course, that's where our OCs all come in, as they are trying to stop them from doing so. Uh... There might also be a sort of hub world between worlds inside the mirrors that the villains are using as a base of operations, but I'm not entirely sure about that right now.

So yeah, uh... Does any of that sound interesting to anyone? And does anyone have any ideas of how to make it work?

Um... yes, and I still lay claim to the Dragonborn because Nanoha OC's would be Bad News.

This sounds very interesting... give me a chance to use one of the characters I've been dying to try.

What type of characters would you be encouraging?

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

Indeed, the GM has a very public and long-standing dislike of mind-control powers.

Lelouch has a mind-control so that was ruled out to me, but they are all mind related in some form I guess. I have waited so long for a chance to use geass sad

Interested. Considering playing a Force sensitive*

As for the plot...maybe the mirrors have always existed, but the various governments of the universes hid and guarded them because they may be abused by evil (which is what happened), and no one bothered to mess with them over their fear of what lurked in the other realms. The villains somehow manage to contact each other via mirror and start plotting, and the universes decide that it's time to finally explore what's really on the other side o fthem, just to prevent everyone's mutual destruction.

A hub world for the heroes, like some Sonic and Kirby games have, would be good to have too, so everyone has a neutral meeting base. I assume there would also be travelling through other character's different verses with their own seperate rules, right? Or are we containing this to the hub worlds between mirrors?

Well, there's one that comes to mind that doesn't—see a few seconds into the future (Waldstein).

The other issue is that, well, Geass is a mecha show. Mecha don't play nice with other scales.

As I have a sheet ready as well...

  • Name: Waldo Mull, aka Kamen Rider Endure
  • Age: 21
  • Gender: Male
  • Appearance: Oh lord this part. Normally, a 25-year old man of eastern European descent with brown hair, green eyes, and old clothes people bring into his pawn shop in the Bronx. When transformed... I'll have to draw that.
  • Universe: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
  • Backstory: The great-grandson of a Transylvanian couple who Immigrated to the US in the 1900's, Waldo inherited a pawn shop in New York from his father. He's been running it for a few years now, so he's used to having a lot of useless junk coming in and out of the shop. When a man came into the shop carrying a strange box, acting rather terrified, and asking what he could get for it and the cards inside, Waldo merely shrugged and gave the man ten bucks for it. Taking the money and thanking him, the man ran out of the store giggling with glee. As he placed it on the shelf behind the counter, however, the mirror- which he used to keep an eye on customers while retrieving things from the shelf- began to ripple. Confused, he poked it, and fell through into another world, where he was forced into strange armor and attacked by what seemed to be a giant anthropomorphic cockroach. Grabbing the nearest thing he could (a card from the box) and holding it up in an effort to fight the roach in the strange imitation of his store, the roach was sucked in and left its image on the card along with the word "DOCKROACH." Since then, he's received numerous crank calls about monsters popping out of the mirror, disappearances in California, and job offers from the same guy claiming to fill a hundred different occupations offering a thousand different things. He mostly ignores them, using the deck to fight off thieves in the neighborhood and avoid traffic and bus fare by traveling in the world behind the mirrors, while experimenting with the deck's power- so far he's figured out that he can combine Dock Roach with a gun, motorcycle engine, and riot shield.
  • Personality: Thoroughly jaded by crazy people up and down the streets of his neighborhood, he's heard conspiracy theories about everything from men in fancy suits fighting aliens to a prince from another world with a talking motorcycle fighting an alien army on earth. Frankly, it takes a lot to get him to believe in the supernatural. While he loves money, he's not the kind of guy to get into illegal activities, and generally tries to do right by others. However, he's also a tightwad, preferring to use things from his shop rather than going out to buy them.
  • Abilities/Advent Cards:
    • Advent (one for each Dock Roach, allowing him to summon them into battle)
    • Contract (Contracting with a Dock Roach allows him to keep it in the Advent Deck.)
    • Unite Vent (multiple, from Dock Roach). This allows him to combine Dock Roach with everyday objects to gain a new Mirror Monster. However, the resulting monster has to rhyme with "Cockroach." He only loses his contract monster if Dock Roach is destroyed in its base form.
    • Shoot Vent (From Glock Roach)- summons the Blastodea.
    • Guard Vent (From Block Roach)- summons a shield shaped like a roach.
    • Accel Vent (From Mach Roach)- Allows him to move at high speeds.
  • Equipment:
    • Advent Deck, a device mounted on his belt which contains his advent cards, described under Abilities.
    • Junk Visor, a wrist-mounted device shaped like a cockroach's wings that lets him use his Advent Cards.
    • Blastodea, a pistol shaped like... well, a cockroach.

...and that's terrible.

I shall have to consider instead of getting excited at the chance of being able to mind rape people. Damn I hate thinking.

[up][up][up][up]Well, I mean, settings have their own rules, but I'm not sure how that would effect characters at all.

Or how governments would cover up the existence of mirrors.

Maybe the mirrors are in the equivalent of Area 51 or something. It's rumored to exist, but the public doesn't have solid proof.
