This is merely a synopsis, I have much more I'm putting together right now but thought I'd check for interest 'while' I'm doing that instead of waiting.
Note: Many term may change, like replacing 'mad scientists' with a legitimate faction name, citing specific worlds, things like that.
First, I'm referring to 'weird science' in the sense of some super-natural settings that call it such resembling steam-punk or magi-tech visually, but putting out everything from surprisingly durable rickety looking cyborgs with built in machine guns and lightning cannons, to impossible machines able to shred the very fabric of reality and warp the barriers between worlds. Basically the stuff of mad scientists with modern power thrown in, they already bend magic, chemicals, and even the fabric of worlds, and now they seek the soul, to quantify it scientifically and mine it for more resources of expected unimaginable power.
Now then, the modern world at large has been fighting to hold back Mad scientists with shockingly much power for the scrappy looking things they create who managed to get a foot-hold in and have held off and harassed the rest of our world for decades while they dig their way into other worlds to find new things to tinker with to overwhelm resistance. As if their tampering with fundamental forces of nature had offended some form of higher power, new and old things awakened, magic, recessive DNA, and more importantly connections to other worlds, though non-traversable in the physical sense at this point, lead to alliances the likes of which few imagined possible, and yet...
The fight had seemed to be turning away from the favor of the Mad scientists, with the newly awakened tools and allies at work they were beat back seemingly right out of our world... Only to return en masse suddenly, from some otherworldly place they had taken control of, with greater numbers and power than before, barely being forced into yet another stalemate. It seemed like this was a war with no clear end in sight, an arms race where the winner could well save or destroy numerous worlds, or worse...
Naturally, when someone kicks humanity in the balls, it gets back up and tells them just what it thinks of their 'superior equipment' and takes it for their own, hence preparations are made to delve into other worlds affected by this war and try to find some hint of the source of power making the Legion's stronger, or failing that, 'more' power to fight back with.
Now then, for those curious, yes, this uses inspiration from a great many things, including a dream that happened just this morning, The incredible adventures of Van Helsing, Dark souls, Secret World, Killing floor might count, possibly wolfenstein, and several other things.
Now then, just as I implied, this is going to be multi-versal, there are 'lots' of possibilities for worlds to visits, or characters to be 'from other worlds', or other elements that may be interesting to include. Just a few possibilities to whet the imagination you could be, from our own world [Soldiers, Magisters both Military/Civilian/otherwise, A 'non mad' scientist working with science], From an alternate earth [could just be used as profile spice, could be a different 'type' of human, a fantasy human style, maybe a hero [note, no 'superman' or 'goku' like stupidly OP dudes, heading 'that' off right away!] or even former villain], Ponies [Yes, I went there, because I'm open minded, and honestly, they'd be a prime target for the mad scientist legions, all that magic, sun moving deities, and no modern military experience? talk about a target that 'looks' easy to just steamroll], Furry things [natural, experiments, aliens, good lord this covers a shit ton of things doesn't it?], or even mechanical things [AI, Synthetics, Cyborgs], the list goes on.
Now then, the final approval on 'risky characters' [seemingly too OP, too ridiculous 'even for this', 'somehow' might not fit?] will be up to the opinion of those involved.
