Additional Notes
About half of these are vibe-based.
I don't really keep up with the Japanese voice acting scene so I don't know which VAs to pick for the Transformers characters, since they've had multiple as opposed to most of the other characters featured here having consistent seiyuus.
Similarly to the above, Inferno Cop's seiyuu was Junichi Goto, who died in a motorcycle accident in 2020. This is why he doesn't have a voice actor listed.
Yes Usagi being a tank is a reference to the "Usagi is fat" meme
I had a LOT of Kamen Rider ideas (most notably Gunner Geats, Sprinter Double, Sprinter Ex-Aid, and a Den-O form for each class - Attacker Momotaros/Sword Form, Sprinter Urataros/Rod Form, Tank Kintaros/Axe Form, and Gunner Ryutaros/Gun Form), but ultimately decided to slim it down to one Showa character, one Heisei character, and one Reiwa character that represents the most recent series since that's the most likely route a Kamen Rider collab will go.
Luluco/Trigger-chan and Inferno Cop would be part of the same banner since Inferno Cop and Space Patrol Luluco take place in the same universe. (And so is every other Trigger work.) I don't know if Luluco and Trigger-chan would have a character change gimmick the same way Thirteen has a class change gimmick or if they'd be separate characters.
Speaking of class-changing gimmicks, maybe Decade can change his class for every Kamen Rider he turns into/Attack Ride he uses?
Radec is probably the most specific pick of this entire batch. He's a western character while the collab characters are exclusively from Japanese media, and I don't know how well Killzone 2 did in Japan, though it seems to be at least modestly popular. This is the token "I like this character and I like the game I want them to show up in" crossover pick. He would be a good character to add if Compass ever came out internationally, I think. (Also I want to see him dressed like Gustav.)
I've known for a long time that sooner or later, I was inevitably going to write a fully original work of fiction. I wrote countless original stories as a kid (mostly objectively terrible quality, due to being written by a grade schooler, and largely short and unfinished), then I pivoted strongly towards fanfic as a teenager and young adult. I'm still mostly into fanfiction, but I've been getting a lot stronger when it comes to developing original characters, and hugely improved with writing in general.
I should also note that I'm a horrible perfectionist, and I was determined not to try and write whatever I was going to write before I was ready for it. But I think that might be now, and I think I'm finally finding the first few components of a story that I want to tell.
I don't know how long this will take. Maybe I'll get super obsessed and somehow blast through the whole thing in a year. More likely it'll take years. Maybe decades. Maybe the rest of my life. Maybe I'll lose interest and it will end up on the pile of eternal WIPs. I'll probably change, and the story will probably change, and the things in the real world I'm drawing parallels to as a core of the story will almost definitely change.
I also don't know how much I'll share here. I am, as sort of a corollary to being a horrible perfectionist, also extremely fussy about not letting people see my writing before it's done lol.
I'm still excited, though. I think if I make it through to the end, I might end up with something really special.
Izuku’s feet land on solid ground and he opens his eyes to a landscape of nothingness. Ash billows up from the barren grey ground and falls from the pitch-black, starless sky, dusting Izuku’s hair and shoulders. Despite the ash around him, he smells no smoke, no acrid tang suggesting fire. In fact, Izuku smells… almost nothing. It’s not an almost nothing of the absence of smell, but the almost nothing of winter, of a thick blanket of snow freshly laid across the world, muffling sound and scent alike.

Summary:
Midoriya Izuku never had the chance to become a hero—or even to grow up. Fifteen years after his death, Akatani Izuku tries to save the life of a dying hero and in return receives a target painted on his back and a power humming in his bones.
All Might, Sir Nighteye, Ground Zero, Suneater, and Skyquake are left scrambling in the wake of Lemillion’s death to figure out who now holds One For All.
Intertwined with all this, the League of Villains’ war against Japan burns on. With the loss of Lemillion, the advantage is now theirs, and with the loss of One For All, victory is all-but-assured.
(What the villains don’t know is that One For All lives on in the blood of a boy who was always meant to be a hero.)

we did a group at the hospital yesterday that was like “notice the emotion and don’t judge it” during the peak of an intense depressive episode but I think i have a right to be fucking angry. i don’t deserve whats happening to me. it’s not right and it’s not okay.
