NOTE: To avoid some of the issues with my past RPs from repeating themselves, I want to say right out of the gate that my tolerance for poor writing, plotholes, and ignorance of established lore has diminished considerably in recent years. Because of that, I am only looking for co-writers who take their craft seriously, who proofread their posts to ensure there are no plotholes, and who respect what has already been established in previous posts. If you're not sure about something, feel free to PM me to double-check before you post, and if I do notice something that falls through the cracks and I ask you to make edits, please don't take it personally.
My idea for this is to adapt characters from various comics, video games, and cartoons into normal humans who are then exposed to Quantum Radiation, develop powers and mutations, and go on an epic journey through time. I'll be playing versions of Sonic, Robotnik, Mega Man, and Bowsette, who in this version is the granddaughter of Bowser. Bowser himself will be a villain who appears much later in the story.
At the beginning of the RP, Julian Kintobor is a kind and friendly scientist who has been fascinated with technology his entire life. He is beloved by his students at Mobius University, who sometimes jokingly call him Professor Robotnik, since that in his surname spelled backwards and he teaches robotics engineering. Julian has a teenage nephew through his sister named Maurice "Sonic" Hedgehall, who often calls him Uncle Jules. The boy earned his nickname for winning races and how fast he could scarf down chili dogs.
Luna Darbin is also a student at the school and became friends with Sonic, though her birth name was Bowsette Koopa, and she was born into the Koopa Crime Family in New York City. The daughter of Bowser Junior and granddaughter of Bowser Senior, great things were expected of her, but as a young child she and her mother escaped the Koopas' clutches and changed their names.
For anyone interested in playing, please adapt existing characters from various works or make your own OCs and craft them as fellow students at Mobius University, which we'll say is located in Los Angeles. For the event that brings us together, we'll say a few of the professors hired several students to help them set up for the upcoming Science Expo, and these teachers include Julian Kintobor, Barrell Caskett, Thomas Light, and Albert Wily, who together designed and built a team of robots they plan to showcase at the Expo. These bots include ProtoMan Mark I, the first life-like android capable of simulating human emotion, and MegaMan Mark I, the first prototype in a planned line of private security androids. Barrell Caskett had asked his granddaughter Roll Caskett to allow MegaMan to provide her security escort service around the campus for a few weeks so that it could be documented and shown at the Expo, during which time she formed an attachment to MegaMan.
Also planning for the Expo is Professor Elvin Gadd, who the other professors consider a bit of a mad scientist. His obsession with inventing time travel eventually ostracized him from his peers back at the University of Cambridge in England, prompting him to migrate to the United States for a fresh start. He is on the verge of suffering the same fate yet again, but hopes his new prototype Quantum Warp Tunnel will perform well and repair his reputation.
However, unbeknownst to anyone else, Professor Wily has sabotaged his allies by uploading secret programming into ProtoMan's neural network that is supposed to make him malfunction during his exhibition. But the programming kicks in too early, when Professor Gadd is presenting his Quantum Warp Tunnel. This causes ProtoMan to run amok in the Exhibition Hall while the Tunnel is being powered up, causing it to overload and suck up a bunch of people into an unstable temporal displacement portal.
A core group of people - including our characters - end up together in the same location, but others have been scattered across various eras. This event has caused spacetime to shatter into dozens of parallel timelines, and the Quantum Radiation has triggered powers and mutations to develop. Sonic gains superspeed and blue energy/lightning; Luna can morph into a dragon-like form and use green fire-based abilities; Julian Kintobor spawns off an evil clone who claims the Robotnik name as his own; MegaMan and ProtoMan smash into each other while traveling through the portal, and they each absorb a part of the other as a result of the Quantum Radiation. ProtoMan is flung into an alternate future where he eventually splits into two separate personas, MegaMan X and MegaMan Zero. MegaMan, on the other hand, lands with our group of characters, where he suddenly finds that his body has absorbed the human-like functions of ProtoMan - as well as the capacity for emotion - yet he still retains his memories with Roll and the professors. Since his original framework ran the Rockman OS, he adopts Rocky as a nickname.
So, our characters end up in the past, and ultimately, the story will lead into an overarching narrative that revolves around collecting Cosmic Shards from across this new multiverse, which are crystalized remains of the shattered fabric of spacetime. The ultimate goal is to unite all the Cosmic Shards to form the Celestial Fragment and then return to the very moment the Quantum Warp Tunnel was first activated at the Expo. Then, if they chuck the Celestial Fragment into that first portal before everyone gets sucked in, it should realign with the hole in spacetime and fuse the timelines back together, repairing the damage.
I have ideas on how to explore the story even further, but I've typed a shit ton here, so I'll wait and see if anyone bites XD.

Now I need to decide on a character.
