DreamWorks Crossover? Thoughts, Details, and Plot.

Another idea floating around about taking some of the characters and worlds described in DreamWorks animated features and having them interact in some form or another. Although there are many features to pick over, I believe in the context of the actual plot for the crossover it would be wise to choose from the more "heavy-action" titles. Of course I don't believe I should remove the humor that is often found in the films themselves despite whatever setting DreamWorks ends up creating. So having a "cameo" from the world of Madagascar for instance, could possibly happen. Although, the Penguins might work out for the plot but I'll have to see about that.

Otherwise the idea I have I would like the implement characters and themes from the worlds of Kung Fu Panda, How to Train your Dragon, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Megamind and Shrek for starters. Rise of the Guardians would work too, now that I think about it. Yet, I may have to cut off some worlds depending on if it's too much, too many for the scope of the roleplay, the amount of players that even join, and the amount of commitment from the participating players. Also it could be too ambitious or intimidating to even be successful. Of course that doesn't mean every character from the worlds presented have to be in the roleplay. That is really dependent on the players and their choice of character(s) they play as.

On that note, I would encourage players to chose "canon" characters, but OCs won't hurt, especially since the plot of this roleplay does center on an OC Villain to help tie these different worlds together. I mean after all, this is fan fiction. On that subject I will elaborate my thoughts on the potential plot. I was thinking that the roleplay would start from Megamind's dimension, since things like dimensional rifts are a common occurrence in the superhero genre. I figure the chaos would stem from a failed project of his, specifically a machine. One that was designed to help him fight crime not only in Metro City but across the world as well. Yet, in true Megamind fashion, there is a mishap and the device works but not in the way that was expected. Unfortunately it begins to tear open wormholes to other worlds and manages to open one that frees a powerful and evil entity. One that is determined to conquer all realities.

That was the original idea, but then I had the idea of the possibility of shared universes. Like, that Megamind and Monsters vs. Aliens are from the same "Earth." This could have interesting implications, such as how the Government treats the existence of Superheroes and Villains compared to Monsters. The thought being that having secret Government facilities and programs along with monsters and aliens is still common within the superhero genre. So maybe in the aftermath of the plot of MvA, we could see Megamind messing around with Gallaxhar's alien technology(whatever's left of it that is) perhaps Quantonium could be used. Since it seems to be a precious and powerful energy source it could be used to power Megamind's latest device but returning to the original idea that it causes more harm than good.
