Well... It's common knowledge, but Serlen is your average lord(in BL, but in the remake more developed and human) Kuro is a demon with an affiny for shadows Marrh is basically as he is in Eden, mortal, and a wind Magistine. Gran is relatively new and created Today, but has a pet wolf named Aden, and a great sword that has no current special abilities. Jale is... Obviously from a futuristic setting with futuristic weapons Everyone else is normal. I commend you for your detailed descriptions of Kuro's powers, Marrh's wind Magistine, and what kinds of weapons Jale has. Not everyone has time to read everything and you didn't even bother to note your characters' story of origin, so you don't have the right to say "well OBVIOUSLY this is like this".

I apologize Emp, but some things must be kept a secret. I can PM you a detailed list of things later? Reason I'm not saying origin story is because people here haven't read the CYOA yet. Obviously was the wrong choice of word.

I think we should establish the setting before we try to balance our PCs to fit with it. What about a world that's got high technology, but in such a foreign way thay it might seem like magic? That way a fantasy character and a sci-fo character could both feel at home and we can retain that out-there sort of Oz feel. Thats kinda how things are in my CYOA. Tech advanced to such a point that it created magic. Also "the man behind the curtain" sounds like the perfect fit for one of my Keepers. Hey maybe my CYOA universe can host the crossover. Theres even a place I already had made that could logically house all the crossover characters.

It would probably work to the WWW characters' advantage if the worlds are similar, but it's probably best to keep neutral ground.

Obviously was the wrong choice of word. I never said to list origin story. I said to list what RP/CYOA they're from (Like if I had a character named Bob, I'll say he's from the "Adventures of Bob in Bobalonia" CYOA). Thing with this crossover is that it's VERY likely for Late Arrival Spoilers to manifest down the line, so trying to keep spoiler-free is difficult.

Sorry about that Emp. CYOA: Serlen- Tales of Etrius: Exiled Chronicles Kuro- Atrian Saga: Tale of the Moon (a sequel to Serlen's series.) Gran- Grand Saga Jale-Project: Future (depending on tech, may be removed) ----
RP: Siegemund- The Return of Sithis Fenrir- The Realm of Austur Marrh- Eden Saga 1 Kuroi- depends if Golurk brings his DnD sign up sheet...
That's basically my roster.
Cards can basically be added into one era. Serlen and Co from BL for ToE:EC! SERLEN Arashi and co for Kuro's cards. Gran basically needs a deck for his. Same with Jale.
Fenrir is good, and can use Serlen and co from the Austur verse. Everyone else is to be decided.

To avoid confusion. By co, I mean the characters I write in Austur, NOT everyone else's.

Cheese's Tinman could be a weapon/final form of my Alchemist version, and the straw parasites could be a weapon of Cheese's Scarecrow.
If people are alright of my essential rip off of the Squall/Griever theory being the cowardly lion then that's alright by me.

Speaking of being unable to read everything, are there any individual RP/CYOA-specific things I need to know about? Example: for Nova, you'll probably need a sub-section where you need to list the Pokemon your character has and their moves and abilities. Unless there's another Pokemon RP/CYOA I've somehow missed, no other RP/CYOA would need to fill in that subsection.

Let's see Baron has the fusion him and Van can do, the twin elemental swords, and wind fire magic. He's a half vampire with a love for adventure.
Catie is a wolf laguz who can weird a sword and a bow in human form and uses life magic (beast stone) to turn into wolf form. Baron rescued her from slave traders and the two have been close ever since. They eventually recognized there feelings for one another and Baron proposed to her.
Mario is the main character and what's there to say about Mario that hasn't been said. In the cyoa he is going on a quest to stop a powerful goddess (Anna) from being resurrected. His ability is that he is all around fighter. He uses a hammer for melee attacks and attacks with fire themed magic. Hizs ultimate attack is his final smash.
Shiva was a former gang member but is looking for her former employer for revenge. Her former employer left her for dead and told her that he killed her parents. She has twin blades (named after the ice dragon from Bleach) that she can use to do channel her ice magic. She has a special lance that she can channel water magic through.
Rosalina a guardian in Mario's universe. She is the foster mother of the Lukas which are baby planets and othbasedace objects. She joins Mario on his journey b/c she heard tales of the goddess Bowser is trying to awaken her and she fears the destruction she would unleash if awakened. She is the sage of the group and is mainly magic based and unleashes powerful spells to destroy her eneimes. Think of high level skills from Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest/Warriors and that's some of the skills she will unlock. Her ultimate skill is too summon all of her children to rain destruction upon her eneimes.
Finally, Bowser the pseudo main of my cyoa. He is on a quest to awaken an ancient goddess to gain ultimate power. Yet as everyone knows Bowser is not the sharpest knife in the shed and there's plenty of misadventures on the way. He has legendary strength, access to his minions in card form but his flame breath. His ultimate skill is too transform into his Smash brothers brawl final smash.
Does this seem like something that could work?

I don't appreciate someone like Manaphy being called a "minion", but I think that would work so long as RP/CYOA-specific are mentioned in them (Like Austur characters mentioning what circle of Magick they specialize in). Any RPs/CYOAs that need special treatment (and I mean that as non-passive-aggressively as possible. It's a serious question)?

Here we are, the prototype Character Sheet. This sort of thing is subject to change, so let's ignore the more detailed Appearance, Age, Likes, Dislikes, Character Relationships and similar tags for now. The bio doesn't need to be too detailed either. This is more to gauge abilities and power levels to be able to see what needs to change, what works, what doesn't, etc. The OFFICIAL character sheet will be in the sign-up topic and will be more detailed.
Name: (Your character's name and/or aliases. List nicknames in quotation marks.) RP/CYOA of origin: (Which RP or CYOA does your character originate from?) Card Character?: (Whether or not the character takes the form of a card. If yes, name who holds the card after a "~" (ex. Yes ~ Bob)) Weapon: (List and describe your character's weapons.) Notable Traits, Powers and Abilities: (What can your character do that most normal humans can't? Include anything of note you can; from being able to manipulate gravity to above-average strength to martial arts training to being able to hold your breath for 10 minutes. If something is a result of a piece of equipment, such as armor or an amulet, mention it.) Allies: (Minions, familiars, and pets the character fights alongside with that do not get their own card. This includes animal companions and Pokemon.) Bio: (Short biography of the character. Doesn't have to be very detailed for now.) Tech level: (Vague idea of the character's technology level; futuristic, advanced present-day, present-day, historic past, medieval, steampunk, magitek, etc. This is to keep track of things during the planning period more than anything and won't be in the official character sheet).

I want to crank up the level of bats*** insanity for just a little bit, if I may. But before I can do that, I really want empire and HHD's opinions on the setting containing outlandish technologies which would make even a modern man think it's magic?
Because I want to brainstorm ways we can make the setting as cray-cray as possible, so that even Dr. Celeste or Arcturus would get their minds blown.

Can I use a projected version of a character later on, so that Anthor and Fathyon aren't super weak compared to others since they're first level?
