and you are all now my machines...
(muwahahaha...ha...ha...ok Ill stop)

I am working on a map that uses characters from a billion ( a select few) different books, games, animes and the likes.
It is an multiplayer rpg style game
you select your character at the start
which no matter who you pick some event triggers in some way...
Such as certain other characters become visable and selectable to everyone else, a boss becomes fightable. something somewhere happens.

The story starts out where all these characters have been "ripped" out of their own dimensions, drained of almost all their powers, (if they were fused like in Piccolo's case) ripped apart, or in some way weakened. The energy output from their drained forms is absorbed by an unknown entity or entities.
Slowly throughout the story, old enemies are encountered, and they reveal information, such as how they came back to life, why they got their powers back, and who is doing all of this. Eventually the players must stop this force so that they can return at their own power (or stronger!) back to their own world.


Im using the old anime style heroes tier level. Player 1 is the main char, players 3 and 6 are the secondary characters, everyone else is just the little guys. What happens is, player one selects any hero, than a building is created in the resting/base zone, which has special abilities that upgrade the team, or in some other way aide the players. This base also can revive all the players that die permenantly.
PWhen player 3 and 6 pick a character they get a structure of their own, and like player 1 it depends on the character, but it isnt as powerful, and usually is some type of temporary aide or fix, or may contain special bonuses for OTHER players (not the character that made the structure) Some of these fixes may be healing or mana rejuvination, or for Aeyeka(Tenchi Muyo) it creates the tree of light, which can create the item branch of the tree of life, that if given to Tenchi (Tenchi Muyo) when in yuzuha's boss battle, it not only gives him the ability to fight (since it is taken away) it makes him stronger.

as players beat certain bosses or play in certain events they unlock codes that unlock characters for the next time they play.
Currently the playable characters are:
Anime:
-DBZ:Goku, Trunks, Piccolo, Radditz (unlockeable), Frieza (all 4 forms, unlockeable)
-Tenchi Muyo: Tenchi, Aeyeka, Ryoko (coolest! lol), Washu(also Awesome!lol), Sasami/tsunami(yay!sorry..ill shut up now...)
-Bleach: Ichigo, Renji, Ishida, yoshino(the bount!)
books:
-Dragonlance:Raistlin(if your not a fan gtfo -_- jk jk), Caramon, tasslehoff, flint

games:
-final fantasy: cloud, terra (models from Dissidia, idea from dissidia, powers based off of original games)


These are the Playable characters that I either have models for, or have placeholders for.
None of them are finished, and in fact, I hardly have any attacks for them, and most of them dont even have attacks yet. until I make them all have at least 3 attacks/abilities each, than I wont add anymore characters.

here is my small list of attacks
Ichigo:bankai-hollow bankai, Getsuga tenshou.
Goku: Kaoiken, super-sayajin(only unlocked through special event, or extremely high level, by which time everyone else with a saya-jin already has super saya-jin forms), kamehameha
Trunks: Super saya-jin
cloud: omnislash, sword beam, fire(1,2,3,3all), and meteor storm. At level 50 he can choose to go solo with a special Sephiroth set aside, (which if he doesnt he would be retarded) up until level 70(in which he can no longer use this chance), if he wins he finds himself and his reality and is better able to deal with his life and past, this gives him an item called power of the mako, which greatly improves him (if he doesnt get this he will start falling behind the other players, and eventually be holding them back) later he can also fight the ultimate weapon, once again improving him, and (maybe, since I havent made the ultimate weapon fight) even giving him more powers.(btw, I have this sephiroth ready! Both the mini boss sephiroth fight and the cloud vs sephiroth fight are fun as hell!)
yoshino:summon doll, empower doll, drain life
washu:summon lab(really cool, if another player is playing as ryoko, this is a must!), energy sword, goddess form.
Ryoko: summon Ryo-ohki(really hard to use, but if done right is uber!), energy sword, energy spikes (ryoko is set up to be really good at taking out masses of lesser enemies and is really good at getting the party levels), combine with zero (makes zero ryoko, make sure your allies don't kill zero in the fight! just like when fighting the mass form, dont let allies kill it! you want ryo-ohki to control it! of course...washus lab can breed mass, and spawn zero (normal) and zero(ryoko form) if you need.)(ryo-ohki has some powers of its own, such as duplicates and form changing(between cabbit and ship form, and when you take control of mass entity, between humanoid and ship form)
Aeyeka: no powers currently, only starts with Ryo-Ou, the ship. if the ship dies, ryo-ohki can absorb the cockpit to use light hawk wings, and a seed can be planted to eventually remake the Ryo-Ou. The Ryo-Ou is super powerful for a starting Aeyeka, but until it dies and grows back from a seed, its not so great later on.
Tenchi: is really lame when you first start as him, but there are many special events ( a few which cannot take place in the same game) that improve him, giving him alternate forms of his light hawk wings ability. his basic light hawk wings is an alternation of the avatar ability, giving him better hp and defence, and slight damage bonuses. later he can summon shields swords, energy beams and all kinds of crap, currently though only the sword and basic light hawk wings is done.


and thats all the attacks for the playable characters I have made



I would like to say, I cant wait to get this into testing phase, because I REALLY REALLY want people to fight my awesome boss battles.

Plus, This is REALLY REALLY, going to need A) LOTS of team effort, and B)tactical playing.
especially against bosses like sephiroth(mini-boss) and Frieza



Now I would like peoples opinions and ideas. Especially on powers, and boss fights.
One boss fight id really like ideas for is Broly, what should his battle area look like, what should his powers and such be (currently I have one, he uses it up to four times during the fight, it fully heals his health and increases his power, making him one hell of a boss, even more difficult than friezas alternate forms, that fully heal his life and increase his level. and since bosses and most demi-bosses all gain levels based on players)

What characters would you like to see, (dont care what its from...cept maybe naruto...only put characters from that if I get a bunch of requests...) playable and non-playable (like sephiroth is not playable! but since I have Zacks model he may become playable...not sure, if he does become playable he will have to be unlocked through a special side quest)
any ideas for the story line also, because there are four main badguys, the first one you get to fight uses the spirit bomb, which he stole from Goku, so Id like ideas for the main bosses, what powers would you like to see in action?

Mostly what I want are power ideas(especially for the characters I already have), and characters that youd like to see (no I wont put harry potter...that would be kinda lame in my opinion...)


Would anyone like me to post a list of characters I currently am planning on adding and powers? or a list of other things I already have?(such as my bosses/mini-bosses/ area ideas, etc.)

also later on in its development I will more than likely need help and ask for it! Im expecting that if I try doing this all by myself, it will take more than a few years just for it to pass as playable. (and thats adding in time I wont be working on it, especially since I will be moving within the next coupe of months, and I dont have a laptop)



oh and one more thing, for cloud, what does everyone think, should omnislash be more like advent children, (I found a spell made by someone who created one like it on another site, so I would use that and give the person credit) or no? and if yes, I would assume it would only be good for targeting a single person, but maybe you would disagree?







PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!

boss battles huh? hey, can i recruit you to work on forest monsters for my aos? i want them to be sophisticated.

as far as i know advent children finisher on sephiroth wasn't omnislash...i don't know what it would be called though...but it reminded me a little of the saga frontier sword technique called rozario impale.

it was pretty much a totally new sword thing that he did i'd say.

even the sword itself was completely different from anything he'd used in game originally.

i'd say keep in mind it's a totally new game and do what you will with it. just make it fun.
 
I'm sorry but this sounds like a terrible idea imo

-For one it looks like your trying to do WAY too much in one map, you see these requests ideas popping up here all the time and they never go anywhere.
-Trying to meld the stories of every single one of those animes will most likely end in some meta sluggish monster that no one has any clue what's going on.
-This sounds like something with a lot cinematics and the like, trying to shove that into an online RPG doesn't work to well most of the time.

actually I have no cinamatics in it, and dont intend to. Its very easy to make actually, and since its my own idea, than that makes the universe extremely easy to work with because whatever I want to happen can happen. I am not trying to meld the stories together...I never said that at all... I know there are ideas coming and going...Mine usually get finished though, you could ask my friends...of course, thatd be hard...because they never get on sites like these, they dont make their own stuff XD (and theyd kill me if they knew I told someone else I was working on another map before I told them...they still dont know about this one lol)
and actually I had an idea as to how the final bosses were going to be, and since there are 4 of them as I KNOW (at least im sure i did) said before, its easier to make mixes of ultimate powers.

and I do not intend to have every character from these universes, that WOULD be retarded...




tell me though how does it sound like alot of cinamatics?


and sure SanKakU, I read officially that it was a variation of omnislash, (and it seems they have ideas for all kinds of omnislash attacks anyways XD I mean hell they have omnislash v5 in Dissidia, and as his ex mode attack in Dissidia another omnislash o_O)
And sure I'd love to help!

yeah dissidia sounds interesting will have to check it out someday when i get rich...heh heh. that, or maybe watch some youtube videos of it...haha.

yeah take a look at the terrain if you will in my map the ancient frontier and maybe post an attachment for what you got for your map so far.

i was kinda thinking of turning failed hero ideas into creeps for my map...but yeah if you got a sweet boss idea they could be the high level creep for a creep camp in my map. and if you ever have trouble coding anything in your map...i can probably help with some of that.

what i might end up doing is making the creeps not random but make the spells that they cast be random. that might be easier. looks like reading your idea helped my map at least a little just like that.

They didnt go as far as they could have with Dissidia, fun as hell, but for a square enix game its pretty limited.


My boss ideas never fail! Well except for when I first started making maps...I am glad I deleted those XD
I will gladly ask for help, for now I dont need any help, but as epic as I intend for this to be, I WILL need help later.



I would really like some ideas for spells,
currently I have 3 more character than spells, and that is retarded imo, of course today I have ideas for a but load more spells, thanks to some friends and whatnot, plus ive been reading games, watching books, and playing animes as much as possible lately, even though I only have at most two hours a day to do anything anymore.
I also recently found out that I have only one of my old maps that ive made left, and for some reason I dont have my finished version of it, so ive gone back and started reworking on it (When I first made it I saved like twenty different copies of it) It was fun as hell and its sad to not see the final version anymore...oh well two maps being produced at once isnt that bad.


Really though people I would love some ideas XD




also what do you (and anyone else) think of this, the first of the four bosses I am going to have is going to be a bit more goofy than the rest, hes gonna be a bit slow in the head, and once the players get him around 1/2 hp he is going to try and use the spirit bomb from DBZ, which anybody who has watched DBZ knows the spirit bomb cant harm good people.If you think this corny show is a good idea should I do it at the begining as his intro attack, in the middle for him to believe it being a saving grace, or after the players defeat him, make him act it out as a last ditch effort to win. I am assuming that if its in the middle or begining than it should damage any evil aligned player characters, such as Frieza, Radditz, Raistlin, and probably Ryoko, even though in Ryokos case she turned good, and Raistlins case, he had good moments, his evil ways had good effects, and even saved the world twice, once from a Goddess, and once from the creator of the gods, Chaos. There will be more evil aligned characters, and they wont all be from DBZ, its just DBZ was one of the first things that came to mind when I was coming up with this idea.




And once again I would like to apologize to any super fans of any of these series, who know that characters from these shows/books/games could wipe out the others in their sleep, (Like Raistlin! Raistlin for the win!lol....Sorry Dragonlance is the best book series ever though...lol)



(I really go overboard when I type dont I? I make a billion friggin Paragraphs within seconds...I guess that helps since I am writing a book XD sigh...)
