Okay, so!

+++Shitty fanfic mode engaged+++

This was a random idea I had while looking at some of the Marvel/DC roleplays here on the guild. I thought to myself, "What if I make something like that with Cartoon Network characters?" (Or something along the lines of that). So, here I am, pitching a new Roleplay this fine Friday (If my stupid ass posts it on a different day than Friday, then rip). Right now, it's just a concept. A concept I want to discuss with everyone so you can help me craft the most enjoyable roleplay out of this.

So, the basic idea is an action (somewhat anime and comic book inspired) Roleplay where everyone plays as characters from Cartoon Network (The characters from the original shows like Dexter's Laboratory, so no anime or DC characters, sorry). Where we go from there is up to what everyone wants to do, but those are the ground rules. Depending on what everyone discusses and decides on, the OOC will take a little while to be set up.

And let me get across that, for reasons that I fear my Roleplay may garner some unfavorables, this Roleplay will be strictly high-casual/low-advance. I'm going to be expecting a moderate level of detail here.

So let's get started with the variables in this questionnaire!

If no one votes, and just says "interested", I'm going to turn this into a shittier fanfiction where my mary sue oc beats up CN and everyone loves em' for it.


1). Multiverse or Single Universe?
Now this is the biggest question that will change everything about how the RP is presented. What I'm basically asking is whether or not you want all the Cartoon Network shows to be in a single universe ala Fusion Fall, or separate universes. Because of the abundance of multiverse Roleplays, I want to go against it, but again, we can work with it. With the single universe, that might be more interesting, and easier to keep everything together. And some shows would naturally go together (I.E Ben 10, Steven Universe, and Sym-Bionic Titan for example)). The problem is aspects of different shows that don't gel too well with others (Generator Rex, and Samurai Jack, for example), and with a multiverse, we don't have to worry about them, and perhaps we could go for a "fantastic different world" aspect to things.

1.2). In the event of everyone voting for a single universe: what aspects from each show should be canon?
Now this is the challenge. Most of the shows, if mashed together without any consideration for their aspect, would be a total wreck. Generator Rex's nanites would be a bitch, and then we have Codename Kids next door and their world wide fighting adult bullshittery that doesn't make a whole lot of sense in a larger universe. But, if we discuss, and decide what makes sense for the Roleplay at large, and what works for everyone.


2). Sandbox or no?
Should be pretty simple; should everyone be doing their own thing, in their own hometowns or whatever, or should everything? While sandboxes are fun, they'll be a bit messy and are very hard to keep alive. I had the idea that everyone was some kind of superhero group similar to the Avengers and Overwatch (Which can work in the Multiverse setting).


3). OCs?
I think this is something that, if implemented, are keep minimum. While OCs are nice n' all, this RP's about playing canon Cartoon Network Characters.


4). What qualifies as a Cartoon Network show?
Now, this is the tricky aspect that I want to discuss with everyone. While I did say I wanted original shows and all, but I wanted to know what everything thought on that? I know shows like Dexter's lab, and Powerpuff Girls is a no-brainer; but what about series such as Code Lyoko, Xiaolin Showdown, or Totally Spies? Maybe not the Loony Toons (or any of those God awful CN shows they got from Canada), but there are some shows that deserve some credibility as CN shows. Perhaps we should come up with a grand list of shows that exist within in the setting?


5). How will comedic characters fit?
Now, one of the things I'm dead certain on is the RP being action based, buuut I'm wondering where shows like Ed, Edd n' Eddy, and Johnny Bravo, will fit in an action RP. Unless we go Punch Time Explosion and make everyone a fighter.


6). Anything else?
There's probably something I missed, so bring it up for discussion!



That's about it, I hope to get lots of interest and discussion going.

This idea has me intrigued, enough to bring me out of my shell and peak in...
I like the idea that you're up for building it with a group of people. Although I wonder Are you intending it to be a casual style rp or free style?

As far as your thoughts:
I like the idea of single universe far better, but done in a way that maybe they all live in different parts of the same world and in some way get brought together in various ways, so maybe no all in the same neighborhood, but in the same world, for sure.

Sandbox; yes and no... like there should be a little sandbox but there should also be structure, like an overall story or theme... or even same thing we're all trying to accomplish, thus giving us a reason to come together.

OC's, I'd want to vote no in this particular setting, seeing as the idea is that you're meant to play someone from a CN show xD

Original CN shows would probably make things a little easier, should probably ask if there are specific shows that should be included, but I would of course vote for Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd and Eddy, Johnny Bravo and just about any of the old original shows. But I'm wondering what about adult swim shows at all? Like Family Guy or Robot Chicken... but then that might be opening a whole new can of worms... and I think that might overcomplicate things

I'm not sure about the comedic characters, I suppose it depends on what the storyline is and what you're trying to do...
