Hey guys... I have a proposal to make...
Random guy off screen: Another stupid Omniverse game?
…… Okay... But please hear me out before you click back...
Awhile ago I tried making a game called Earth All-Star that could be summed up as "What if everyone was part of the Marvel Universe" It was an ambitious project... That ultimately failed and was absorbed into Omniversal Adventures.
However I still want to try this again in some capacity... But this time... I'm putting my foot down.
There may not be stone counts set yet, but I will insist on keeping house rules to a minimum, and characters will actually be bound by the rules of the MU, and the game. Meaning for example... No anime bullcrap where human characters have super human strength because they did in their home series. I don't care what the manga/or some random cutscene in a video game says. This game is about balance, and sticking to the rules... You can choose to either play by the system, or not play at all.
Sorry if I'm ranting here... But I really want to be able to do this type of game right for a change.
Anyone interested?

I suppose I should share some ideas I had about the world itself?
The world is basically the 616 Marvel universe circa the early 2000s. This is set before disassembled, so the Avengers never broke up, and are still working for the U.N., Spider-Man is still married, Mutants are still abundant in droves, etc. The only major difference is that characters and teams from other universes exist in this universe as if they always had either in the MU itself, or in a close enough offshoot dimension.
Let me elaborate on some of the universes that are known for sure to be a part of it.
AKAME GA KILL
-There is no evil empire, but rather Night Raid is an order of assassins using magic weapons that "kill one to save hundreds." Their formost enemy is General Esdeth, a former Soviet super soldier who serves to cause chaos and strife in the world.
BLEACH
-This one is a bit complicated... While Ghosts and Hollows are still mostly invisible to normal humans. The same is not true for Shinigami who have actual physical bodies within the world of the living and can be seen by normal humans. Most of whom just mistake them for mutants or metahumans. Also Soul Society is different than Heaven and Hell in that it is more a location akin to Olympus and Asgard where the Shinigami, and souls selected to become Shinigami live, and train.
CODE GEASS
-First of all... Britannia is not an empire but a corporation run by the Britannia family based in a private island off the East Coast of America. They are the formost producers and distributors of Knightmare Frame technology... Lelouch, rather than a terrorist and rebel leader is simply a costumed vigilante named Zero who has occasionally teamed with other heroes.
DC UNIVERSE
-It's a part of this universe, and The Justice League frequently works alongside the Avengers with the U.N. Not much else I can think to add yet.
FAIRY TAIL
-While Earthland, and Fiore themselves do not exist. Guilds of various magic users both legal, and illegal exist throughout the world... The most famous is Fairy Tail in New York... However at some point prior to the events of the game Fairy Tail were branded criminals and forced on the run after they were found to have inserted a spy among S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ranks.
HIGHSCHOOL DXD
-This one is a bit complicated... While Devils, and Angels exist, it's never confirmed whether or not the God, and Satans who ran each faction were the real deal, or just one of the many beings throughout Earth's history who claimed to be. What is known is that both factions along with Fallen Angels have been working behind the scenes in their own personal cold war for centuries now. With no end in sight. Also due to a flaw in how they were made, Sacred Gear users automatically register as mutants on most scanners even if they were otherwise fully human.
KANTAI COLLECTION
-This is a fairy recent development to this universe. About six months prior to the start of the game. Weird almost alien creatures called Abyssals started terrorizing the Earth's oceans sinking any ship they find unguarded. Shortly thereafter a group of special young women who have been merged with the souls of WWII era warships have appeared to fight them. These Shipgirls are mostly concentrated in Japan, although other nations have "produced" their own as well in smaller numbers.
MORTAL KOMBAT
-The Earth in this universe is the same as Earthrealm with all it's defenders and residents intact. The other Realms are separate dimensions in their own right... Also due to the influx of heroes and superpowered beings Shao Khan utterly failed in his conquests even worse than in canon.
NARUTO
-The Ninja Villages exist in this world. Although in different Asian nations. The Leaf Village is in Japan. The Mist in Vietnam, The Sand in the Gobi Desert, The Cloud in Manchuria, and The Stone in Korea.
ONE PIECE
-The Straw Hats to exist, however they are more a group of seafaring thrill seekers, than a Pirate Crew. The existance of Devil Fruits is confirmed in Marvel Earth... Many of the Marines work for various government agencies and S.H.I.E.L.D. Most beings on greater than human size or inhuman looks are confirmed mutants.
POKEMON
-The creatures exist, none of the regions do. There is no set Pokémon League, or Gyms. Trainers are strictly regulated, and the technology to capture/care for Pokémon is a closely guarded tech secret... Also Team Rocket is an joint project of the Maggia/HYDRA/AIM.
TEAM FORTRESS 2
-This is a bit complicated since I don't know or care much about the finer details of the lore. However the nine playable mercs have all been active as hired guns since the 60s... Kept from aging due to exposure to an attempted duplication of the Super Soldier Serum mixed with Mad Milk.
WARHAMMER 40,000
-This dystopian future is a possible future for the Marvel Universe. At several points in recent history, either the Imperium of Man, or some other faction has traveled back in time and attempted to conquer the present day Earth, only to be thwarted each time by the world's heroes... On the plus side... This has resulted in a lot of 41st Millenium Technology and weapons falling into the hands of various corporate and government entities.
(This is all I have for now... If you have any other universes you are curious to know about how they fit into this world. Please feel free to ask.)

sweet. just don't send me a CAD just yet... I wanna check if anyone else is interested, and spend a bit more time building the world, and deciding if I want a team game or a series of solo games before starting anything. I'm trying not to rush things.

Would playing as a pokemon be allowed? As in the same style then detective pikachu or the such? Also if Meowth manage to learn how to talk why wouldn't other be able too via good background story.

Ok, this sounds slightly insane. Colour me cautiously curious.

Okay first thing we need to establish... If this is a team game... what team do you want to be apart of? What sort of game would you prefer to be in terms of setting and tone?

*you hear the theme music to jaws slowly build to a crescendo*
I ... will be ... Victor Von Doom.

I don't think that's possible... I mean sorry to crush your dream, but I think Doom is a bit too powerful and important to use outside of an NPC role.

That was not a limit you had set above, so if your going to draw a line, better start getting out the ruler.....

I kind of enjoy solo games, but it will depends on how the setting works out. With all these settings mixed into one world i have no idea how this will work out.

Both team and solo game are fun. We could start solo and eventually end up in a team if it fit with the story line.

Okay... I guess three solo games would be okay.
To clarify, and make this much simpler "Every universe" simply means every universe I feel I know enough about to properly integrate. So it won't be like dozens of characters I don't know about would be there... Sorry if that impedes your ideas, but that's just the compromise I feel needs to be done in order to preserve my sanity.
While I'm not quite ready to see any CADs yet, I wouldn't mind hearing your character concepts... You can state them either here, or via PM if you'd rather keep that on the low.
Existing characters only please... No original works.
