Title: Heavens' Cross Archipelago Series: Heaps, being a mega-crossover. Rating: PG. Might get higher as the RP goes along, but hopefully not by much. Leaders: Itsuko Ichihara. Status: Open.
Storyline:

For four friends, Alia, ___, ___ and ___, it was just another average day, till they saw what looked like a meteor falling out of the sky. As they head towards it, what they don't know is that it's no meteor, but a ship that fell from a rift between dimensions.
Within this eerie, deserted ship there lies an artefact called the 'Sacred Bead', who the now scattered crew were meant to be keeping out of the hands of the Doomsday Riders, a group of five deadly theives who operate across the entire multiverse.
It won't be long before the Doomsday Riders finally arrive on Earth to take the Sacred Bead for themselves, and only four teens standing against them will be like a slug standing against a steamroller. Yet why does Eidolon Grave, leader of the Riders, take so much interest in Alia, who he keeps referring to as the 'Anima'? And she may not be the only one of her friends with a twisted fate in store...
Basically this is a mega-crossover; though it may start on 'Present Day Earth' it will eventually feature characters leaping from world to world in a huge adventure. At first there'll be only a limited number of character spots, but once we reach our first 'hub' world (think like Traverse Town in Kingdom Hearts) the cast will be able to greatly expand. So yeah, this could end up with quite a few characters, though most will probably be confined to their own world if you're worried about this getting too big to handle.
Characters Needed:
- The characters we'll need right now would be Alia's friends (two boys and another girl) and the Doomsday Riders. Her friends can be either Original Characters or 'Counterparts' (what a Counterpart is I'll explain below), and each will have a particular hair colour (this will be significant to the plot's themes later on):
* Red hair - Alia Escher * Gold hair - Open * White hair - Open * Black hair - Open
(A 'Counterpart' is basically an alternate universe version of a character, one that may possess the same traits and personality yet is noticeably different due to having grown up in another world. If you're familiar with Osamu Tezuka's 'Star System' you should know how this works.)
- Then there's our antagonists The Doomsday Riders. Besides their leader 'Eidolon Grave' (not his real name) there'll be four of them maximum, though we could start the game with just one or two of them. All Riders (except Eidolon, maybe) are canons from their own universes, and each Rider joined of their own free will, Eidolon never attempted to force them. They also fill out specific roles, consisting of:
* Conquest - Open * War - Open * Famine - Open * Pestilence - Open * Death - Eidolon Grave

And here is the Character Sheet for Canons:
Name:
Series:
Description: (Please no major spoilers)
Extra: (This refers to any non-canon material you want to add on to a character, for the Doomsday Riders this'd cover why they joined and which role they fill. If you plan to play a character exactly where their series left them then feel free to skip this)
Just a few more requests I have with characters:
* While I've allowed Original Characters, please don't get carried away with them, as that defeats the point of a crossover. Original characters must still have anime-style pictures. * Labelled as an Anime RP, remember that this crossover will mainly focus around anime and works resembling anime like Japanese RPGs. Though characters and worlds from other media are not entirely out of the question, they should be used with caution. * Overpowered characters are also allowed, but only if some sort of limiter has been placed on their abilities, or they're a Counterpart who hasn't gained access to their full abilities yet. * There is no set limit on how many characters you can have, but please be careful.

'Archipelago' refers to how multiverse-active people in the game view the void between dimensions, with each universe an 'island' and the multiverse a 'sea'. You'll hear the terms 'multiverse-active' and 'dimension-aware' used a lot in this RPG; both of them mean the same thing really, though multiverse-active refers more to people and groups while dimension-aware refers more to the worlds themselves.
Dimension travellers often grade each universe on how 'rules-heavy' it is; the lighter a world's rules are, the more anything is possible within it and travellers can enter it with barely a scratch. The heavier a world's rules are, the more that world runs on a specific system that it expects to be obeyed. Travellers can find their abilities highly restricted upon entering such worlds, even up to having their own species changed.
However not all settlements are in particular worlds, some people have built cities or outposts within the multiverse itself. Celestial Quay is a famous one, a bustling harbour town catering to the needs of dimension-travellers. There's also the Eternova Citadel, which tries to act as a seat of government for the multiverse-active, but has had relatively little success.
Below is a list of worlds that will be 'playable' in this RPG. Players are free to propose worlds based off certain series or original worlds where series may merge together:
* Tutorial World - "Present Day Earth") * Hub World - Celestial Quay * World 1 - Open * World 2 - Open * World 3 - Open * Etc...

Name: Alia Escher (Her nickname is 'Firebird', albeit at her insistance, becoming a source of embarassment among her friends).
Age: 18.
Gender: Female.
World: "Present Day Earth".

Personality: Most people find it hard to describe Alia; not because she's super-complex or anything, more the opposite in fact. Sure she's cheery, excitable and upbeat, but no more so than any other girl her age. She can be a bit stubborn, but is quick to get over things. There just doesn't seem to be much about her that stands out.
She doesn't seem to have any long-term goals, plans for the future or any aspirations at all honestly, she's happy to laze around and take life as it comes. She's never really stuck to a hobby (with the exception of swordfighting, detailed in Skills), her interests seem to change on a whim, though she can get pretty passionate about things while she's still into them.
History: Hardly anything out of the ordinary, pretty much what you'd consider a perfectly normal, uneventful life. Well, except for one thing. Alia is an orphan, nobody knowing whether her parents are still alive or dead, or who they even are really. Naturally she'd rather not bring the subject up.
Skills: As mentioned before, Alia's hobbies change all the time, so she might be very good at something one moment then completely neglect it the next. However, there have always been two constants about her:
* It has been said, mainly by dodgy fortune-tellers but still, that she has a natural affinity for the Fire element. It's easy to see where they're coming from, with Alia's long red hair and energetic, upbeat personality, but could there be more to it than this?
* Alia has always had a fascination with the sword she's never quite been able to explain. She's taken classes in both fencing and kendo to improve her abilities, now seeming to prefer kendo as she finds it more suited to her style.
