!! Please read my Carrd before interacting !!
So for my crossover AU which I talked about before, I decided to limit things and include fewer franchises: Nintendo (first party and a few second party series' only), Digimon, Crash Bandicoot, Classic Spyro, Classic Sonic (before Generations), Super Monkey Ball, Banjo & Kazooie, Super Bomberman R (Bomberman characters only), Cooking Mama, Mischief Makers (N64), and Glover (N64).
Again, I was inspired by other crossover series' while working on the lore of this crossover. This is contained in its own continuity, not connected to any other crossover stories.
The universe contains multiple worlds, for each video game series. While they normally exist separately from one another, there is a central hub of worlds where characters from all the series' can intermingle and interact; Where the kart racing games, board-style party games, sports games, other spinoff games, and the Mii games take place.
Instead of fighting being a primary focus, characters often form bonds through playing various minigames or competing in other competitions together. Fighting or battling is still possible, but that normally only happens when the heroes have to defeat the villains.
I don't have a definitive plot in mind for this AU yet, but like I said, there can be both simple spinoff-style stories and large adventures, where characters have to travel through the worlds to protect them from threats.
My self insert is a human or humanoid woman from a world closely connected to the central hub worlds. But when she visits other worlds, she has different forms based on each series; Basically my other self inserts for each game. (A few other characters can have different forms for each world too)
