  As far as the storyline goes, It will probably take some planning to make it different from all the RPGs out in the world while being a decent storyline at the same time. I was thinking also adding side story paths (I.e. A Random Portal opens up, and going into it brings you into a Megaman World where all the battles aren't RPG genre fights and are just Pokemon style commands mixed in with Megaman, such as "A) Jump", "B) Attack", and "C) Charge Attack" and so on.) to make it more interesting. I don't intend for any forum spoofs to make huge adaptations as far as final bosses go, and besides, if Xiya was a Final Boss, that would make the game too easy :v
  
  For character sprites, since I can't make from scratch, I will probably end up taking sprites from games and editing them to form unique characters. For anyone who wants to help out with sprites, I can probably put them up as NPCs, Characters, and Enemies. I'll try to stick with sprites from 2-D games and etc. since they will probably blend in better with backgrounds and 3-D sprites will probably look awkward.

  
  
  No more like this:

  Alright, I had some free time today so I made a mock image of what the in-battle screens might be like :

  Not exactly perfect, but i guess that sorta works out. I also wanna put out that :
  
  •These characters will be playable.
  -Zero from Megaman Zero series
  -Megaman EXE from Megaman Battle Network series
  -Mario from Mario & Luigi series
  -Luigi from Mario & Luigi series
  -Gundam Wing / Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing
  •Special Skills will be in the game (Such as Class Change and for crossover specific skills, such as Megaman EXE's Beast Outs and Styles). Some Characters and Classes won't have Special Skills and will just have normal skills that are powerful, however characters with Special Skills will not always be better than these characters.
  •MP is available for some characters and classes, while it is replaced with "Cooldowns" for other characters and classes. Example - A Mage Class will have to restore MP to use certain skills while a character like Megaman EXE has to use "Turn Finish" to restore use of Battle Chip standard skills as a cool down.
  •I'm currently looking for sprites to use as status bars/character info/start menu and etc.

  Okay, here's a little proposition for you guys :
  
  Submit your own characters and I might put them in the game once I get everything organized.
  What you must provide is :
  
  •Complete Sprite Sheet of the character.
  •Character's Portrait (Avatar).
  •Background Information (Gender, Class / Character Type, Background Information, Suggestions for Skills / Skill Names, Personality).
  •All works must be original, that means you did not just take an already completed sprite sheet and portrait and claim it as your own. You can do things such as recolor the sprites and etc.
  
  I'm still working on the game, right now I'm working on the characters and their classes.
