Alright so I was gonna do this whole big, grand, in depth explanation into the events leading up to this plot. Yknow, true prologue style. Dramatic dialogue, scientific Mumbo Jumo. The works. But the more I tried to expand on this and make it more intricate, the more I realized I was over complicating it which I know tends to steer people away from interest checks such as this one. Understandably so, after all a thread is only as good as it is concise. Plus, given the rather ridiculous nature of this plot, trying to make it make sense is kind of redundant. So! Here’s a crash course into the Crossover!
Dr. David A. Badguy, your typical evil genius stereotype, has discovered the gift of the Wormhole. A technological advancement that allows him to tears holes in the fabric of Time, Space, and Reality. And with this discovery, he also finds the source of them all, a place known as Primus or “the first earth” that acts as an anchor to the various realities and universes. And wouldn’t you know it, Dr. Badguy wants to destroy Primus because the stereotype forbids him from doing anything else. So naturally, he opens thousands of wormholes across the multiverse to wreak all sorts of havoc wherever possible, essentially letting the floodgates open to an infinite supply of powerful characters both real and fictional.
And what is a plot like this without a plot twist! Wouldn’t you know it, Primus is the universe you and I both inhabit! Meaning, we’re fucked, because I’ll be damned if I’ve ever seen a superhero, mutant, or anime protagonist of any kind here! Defenseless, Primus is nothing short of a sitting duck for the onslaught of Waifus, Evil Geniuses, and generic sword wielding badasses that are storming its shores.
That is until the hand of Destiny, because y’know, when the fate of all realities is in jeopardy something like Destiny is always self aware somehow, retrieves a select group of heroes from their respective realities. Gathering them within its sanctuary, it requests their help to stop the work of the wormholes and restore Primus to a state of one time and one reality. Only then can Destiny repair the timelines and undo the damage done by Dr. Badguy.
And that’s where we begin! A ragtag group of heroes, all harboring their own unique abilities (their own class if you will) to aid in stopping the various Icons, Wild Beasts, and Demons that litter the cosmos of Primus. So, let’s have a quick rundown on some of the classes that I’ve put together as an example!
Alright so! With that out of the way, I’ll talk a little about what specifically can happen with the Crossover battles that will take place. There are three specific types I wish to include, that being Boss Battles (self explanatory), Invasions (Hordes of enemies to cut down with an climactic finish to wrap it up), and Loyalty Missions (Character Specific battles that involve a specific baddie/rival from your characters own world!) In case I haven’t made the point clear though, these battles can involve characters from ANY VIDEO GAME/MOVIE/TV SERIES/BOOK you can think of! The fights can even be done in combinations to keep things interesting! And as I’ve said, over the course of these battles your characters will upgrade in their own specific way, tailored to the specific enemy/enemies they fight. And during each fight, you could see power ups/special upgrades to help win that specific encounter!
Now some things I want to address. While the above four classes are examples, they are not the only options! If you have an idea you want to bring forward, think it out and leave a comment with your idea! I’ll gladly talk it out and make a class you’ll enjoy playing as! As far as how many characters? I’m still deciding. I think a cap of eight (including myself) would be wonderful! But I’d prefer you be a fairly active member that way things don’t get stuck! Now for the big question, how do we decide on what characters we fight? Nothing short of a vote! We can all pitch in ideas, I’ll likely have a voting channel in the inevitable discord for this group, and it’ll go from there!
Now I know this was likely a Cluster of information, as the title implies, but fear not! If you have any questions, comments, concerns, wise cracks, jokes, or racially insensitive remarks (I’m kidding)? Feel free to leave them down below! Or if you’re just interested in the plot, let me know down below as well, and include your idea for a class!
Have a fantastic day you beautiful human! I’m looking forward to writing with you if you decide to join my little group here!

So, let’s have a quick rundown on some of the classes that I’ve put together as an example!
This class features all of the tropes common in the Golden age of shooters. Im talking Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, Halo and plenty of others. A Skilled marksman armed with an impossible array of weapons to take on their respective hordes of enemies, now brought to Primus to put their skills to the test. They’ll start off with a base weapon, but begin collecting an arsenal of new weapons, modifications, and equipment (i.e. Grenade Variants or Armor) to help them along their way.
This class will feature tropes from just about any fighting game you can think of. Over the top martial arts and hand to hand combat moves, impossible strength to throw and send opponents skyward for aerial combos, and of course all the energy blasts and ki based attacks ones heart desires. While unarmed, their fists are all they need to brave the dangers of the Wormholes. They’ll start off with a basic move set, likely one means of fighting with one or two special attacks to help them in combat. Though as they conquer new foes and continue to grow, they’ll learn new special attacks, and even learn meter based Super/Ultra combos to deal devastating damage.
This class features the ever loved trope of a man wielding a weapon that’s fucking HUGE, and is able to cut down multiple enemies with a single swing of said huge weapon. I’m talking Gutts, Cloud, and any character from Bleach levels of big weaponry. And much like Kratos from God of War, they can also have a roster of weapons at their disposal. Nothing too crazy, perhaps three-four types depending on how unique they make them. But at the beginning they’ll start with their base impossibly large weapon. And as far as progression, they’ll learn all sorts of special arts and skills with the weapons to make for deadly strikes, in addition to new weaponry. It’s your decision honestly if they constantly are gathering new weapon and replacing old ones, or if you’d rather they get the set trio or so, and merely upgrade them.
The simple trop to this class is that of MAGIC! This class focuses less on equipment or upgrades, and is instead central to our dear magician learning and mastering an array of spells that they’ll collect through every battle they encounter. The spells will of course be thematic and even direct rips from the battles they fight, so creativity is a must! I figured they’d start off as a basic apprentice of one type of elemental/support magic. With a small set of spells, they’ll begin expanding their Arsenal and delve into deeper forms of their craft!
