The Front Door is broken, oh noes!

Your pups now shift two worlds (i.e. Pup A is now in Pup C's world) on your roster. How well do they fit in now? Feel free to organize your pups however you'd like; by age, alphabetically, whatever.

Sunshine might do all right in the Old Kingdom (Yrael's canon). A local baker who has the potential to be a very powerful Charter Mage, though would lack training at first. She'd find she was very good at fighting the walking Dead despite being terrified of them, and would work to protect her town.

Yrael would be in good company in Zelgadiss' canon - he'd be one of the Mazoku, the monster race of chaos-beings trying to destroy all of existence and return it back to the chaos from which it came. However, instead of working towards that goal, Yrael would likely ally himself with Gaav the Demon Dragon King, as their stories share a lot of similarities. (During the ancient war between those protecting existence and those seeking to destroy it, Gaav was sealed into a human form. Over the centuries, Gaav's soul fused with the human soul, and his now-partially-human mentality and the human instinct to survive led him to turn against the others of his kind because he could no longer support the ultimate mazoku goal of eliminating all of existence. He and Yrael would get along like a house on fire.)

Zelgadiss would not do well in Sunshine's world. As a very obvious Other, he would be viewed with suspicion by the general populace, and it would be very difficult for him to get a job except in the most menial positions. His temper and self-consciousness may very well get him in trouble with SOF, eventually.

My current pups, organised by username (This lets me avoid having Jack and Max going to the same world they're already from):
Jack West ([personal profile] againsttherules)
Bean ([personal profile] aintwortha)
Erik Selvig ([personal profile] ask_the_right_questions)
Alfred Pennyworth ([personal profile] battle_butler)
Max Epper ([personal profile] max_epper)

Jack West in the MCU.
Jack is a competent member of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He's no Coulson, but he's on a level with Hill in terms of fighting ability. It also means he doesn't have to worry about his dad.

Bean in Nolanverse.
Erm, Bean could possibly break the plot of the Nolanverse movies, because awesome by analysis means less sucessful plots. More generally, he'd probably have never been born, because tech levels and illegal experimentation. If he was, he'd die young. Again, tech levels

Erik and Alfred in Matthew Reilly books.
Erik needs to gain a level in badass, or he'd die, far too quickly. But, if he could survive, he'd be a great asset to whichever side he was on.
Alfred, on the other hand, would probably get on fine, though goodness only knows how he gets involved in the plot in the first place.

Max Epper in the Enderverse.
Max would get on fine, though he'd probably have simply become a perfectly competant scientist.

Will Scarlett [personal profile] will_scarlett
Charles Xavier [personal profile] balancingminds
Demeter [personal profile] wheatencrown
Sameth [personal profile] makesthings
William Evans [personal profile] not_his_pa
Moist von Lipwig [personal profile] morethanprops
Jane Austen [personal profile] janebecomes
Tumnus [personal profile] friend_of_lucy
The Pirate King [personal profile] agloriousthing

Will would do fine in Demeter's world as its basically his with gods and he's been to modern eras before.

Charles would also do well in the Old Kingdom, he'd be a Charter Mage, a powerful one probably with some connection to the royal family. I can see him working in the palace library or being involved with politics, the one who balances out Touchstone in some political matters or as a fine teacher for Ellimere and Sameth.

Demeter would fit in well in the world of Yuma as it could almost be her world with a bit of fiddling. I've written her in it for a few fics.

Sameth would work on the Disc, he would be a wizard, but one who spends all of his time in his workshop or in the High Energy Magic Building working with Ponder Stibbons. Though he could also work as a prince of a family in one of the smaller kingdoms that has a lot of magic in it.

William and Jane's worlds are again basically the same world at different times and he would have trouble fitting into the constraints of her society. I think he would either end up a laborer who never interacts with her or far more probably, in London and someone that Tom knows, someone using boxing as a way to make more money.

Moist wouldn't fit in that well in Narnia, he could make it work as both worlds are built on magic, but that's the only real similarity. I'm having trouble trying to picture him there. Anyone have ideas?

Jane in the Pirate King's world would be amusing as she would look for the logic holes and not play along.

Tumnus in movie Xverse would be another strange one, he would be a mutant and a student. Most of his story could remain the same, the White Witch could easily be a Marvel villain attacking a safe place that Tumnus and his family are in. Some place built around non-humanoid mutants, sort of like The Farm in Fables, but I'm not as sure about the Pevensies part of the story. I need to think more on it as I could make this work, but its tricky. And I realized that I did the doors wrong on him, but I don't care. I like this idea and Tumnus would be hiding in a forest somewhere in Will's world, which is already a magical England.

The Pirate King could sort of work in movie Xverse, but he would do better in the comicsverse especially from the '60s and '70s. He could keep his name and everything and be a one shot slightly silly villain.

This is a dangerous DE as its got a number of AU plot bunnies stirring for me.

Voodoo has guns. Guns essentially break the Korraverse. Also it'd put the Korraverse short one Avatar Love Interest, and we can't have that.

Mako would...not last very long in John Marston's world. He'd look terribly out of place and probably shot the first time he firebent. Sadface :(

John...wouldn't last very long in Voodoo's world, either. He'd be more or less clueless how to live in The Future.

Oh lordy.

Okay, alphabetically:

Clare --> Firefly-verse (River's world)
Regan --> Marvel's movieverse (Thor's world)
River --> Gundam Wing-verse (Trowa's world)
Thor --> Claymore-verse (Clare's world)
Trowa --> Firefly-verse (Regan's world)

Clare is... uh. Well, are we doing a backstory reworking, or just plopping her in? If it's a backstory reworking, Clare is an Academy student, who knew what the school was and went anyway.

If she's just plopped in, she's totally bewildered. She stands out less visually than she thinks -- bleach-pale skin and hair and silver eyes probably parse as a weird Core body modification, not as a terrifying half-demon, and she can change her clothes -- but she's from a pre-industrial demon-infested world where she's immediately recognizable as a Claymore. She doesn't know what to do with a world full of regular humans and spaceflight.

Regan in Marvelverse is a pretty easy transition for backstory reworking. She's an upper-class businesswoman/society wife/whatever, presumably in America (or at least a rich Western country) for the hegemonic privilege equivalent. The whole Academy issue can get translated into either some sort of comics-science scientific experimentation at her daughter's boarding school, or River turning out to be a mutant, or both, depending on whether you want to include mutants as a thing in this version of the MCU.

If she's just plopped in, Regan will be stressed but manage to muddle along and blend in pretty well most of the time. This is basically modern Earth except with the occasional supervillain/alien/etc attack, and she fits in okay with modern Earth people in-bar as long as she remembers not to drop into Chinese and doesn't get on the subject of technology or detailed history or pop culture.

River in Gundam Wing is the easiest of all of these. If it's a backstory reworking, she's a Gundam pilot. You don't even have to lose the mad scientist backstory. Daughter of a rich Earth family, goes off to school on the colonies, somehow becomes the experimental subject of a mad scientist, pilots a giant battle robot, has ambiguous psychic powers that were triggered or enhanced or something by an experimental version of the Zero System -- seriously, she fits right in.

If she's plopped down... she also fits right in, because she's been dating Duo Maxwell for the past couple of years! I mean, people will look at her askance, but she'd know how the world functioned and who to contact and all.

Thor in Claymore-verse, on the other hand... hurts my brain. I don't even know how -- actually, wait, I do, but it's pretty spoilery. [He's a prince and warrior from another land outside the island. Possibly he's one of the dragon-people?] He confuses all the Claymores enormously, and it's probably mutual, but he can open up new horizons of information to Miria et al!

If he's plopped down as-is, he would be even more confusing to the Claymores, and vice versa. I'm not sure if they'd sense an aura from him or not, and if they didn't it would really bewilder them all. But either way, whether he's a strict match for an Awakened One or not depends on how the fight goes down, but he remains pretty well indestructible. It'd be hard for them to hurt him whether or not he could fight them effectively -- and in the end, he probably could, if only with lightning.

And there is the benefit of the fact that Thor has some experience with blithely wandering about pre-industrial human societies and letting the confusion mostly wash over him. Handy!

Trowa in Firefly-verse is... hmm. Probably he was a child soldier somehow -- for mercenaries? for some kind of other criminals? on a colony way too close to Reaver territory? -- and then fought with the Browncoats. In Firefly the Alliance won and in Gundam Wing the Alliance sort of lost and sort of was incorporated into the truce of a new and more democratic united government, so either Firefly history goes differently in this AU or Trowa's personal history does. Probably the latter.

If he's just plopped down, Trowa would manage. Trowa is a survivor. I'm not sure he knows any Firefly-verse characters well enough to realize where he is and who to contact about getting back -- it depends on what he's picked up via eavesdropping in-bar and hearing things from Quatre and/or Duo -- but he would at least muddle along. He'd lay low, do some frantic research into the technology and recent history and current economy of this world, and then continue to lay low but with better blending in.

So I started think of Firefly-verse Claymores some weeks ago. And yeah, the Academy is a pretty good fit for the Organization, isn't it?

Teresa as a psychic who Clare latches onto is even sadder for me.
genarti: ([tutu] gears grind you down)

[personal profile] genarti 2012-12-05 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it, though?

I think in a way it's worse because Claymore-verse sucks for everyone. Being a Claymore is awful, but not being a Claymore is frequently also awful.

Whereas Firefly has plenty of people who live relatively normal happy lives, in one way or another. So it stands out way more for someone to have as few options and as little support system as the Claymores have. :-/

*hugs all the Claymores ever*
innerbrat: (grief)

[personal profile] innerbrat 2012-12-05 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
And also that Reavers Are Worse Than Everyone, even yoma, and if we keep Claymore backstory explicitly intact, Clare would have seen her entire family killed by reavers.

So yeah.

That puts Claudia in the Percyverse, which I've toyed with in fic before. She'd be a Hephaestus kid, no question.

Cata would do better in the FTL portion of the OUaT 'verse than in Storybrooke - and that's not even getting into the curse and all it entails. The second the curse broke she would cheerfully take a contract on Regina, because seriously.

Apollo in the Villains By Necessity world... I'm not sure how that would go. He'd be looking at Mizzamir's grand plan and going '...you're kind of dumb, you know that?'

GEE THAT PUTS RED IN THE POTTERVERSE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT WOULD GO.
Actually I do, down to her wand, her grandmother's wand, her mom's wand, and a bit of how the werewolf thing happens.

Sam on the Disc: Easy! Assassins' Guild! And no dumbass wizards trying to get rid of it For Its Own Good!

That puts Regulus in the W13 'verse. I honestly have no idea where that would go. He could pull off working for the Warehouse (honestly, he's such an admin personality in my head that he'd be pretty well suited to the Regents), or he's got enough fore of personality that he'd probably end up with an Artifact to his name.

And with Imp, we revisit the Villains By Necessity 'verse. He'd either be a wandering minstrel or long dead, most likely, as it's canon that the Good Guys killed the bards as the war was winding down. It all would depend on what time he was active.

Let's shift them alphabetically, shall we?

Lohengrin would be put on Lunar, where people would see his great potential. Hell, they might even think he's a reincarnation of Dragonmaster Dyne. He does have the green eyes, after all. I can see him seeking out the dragons and possibly even encountering/having some adventures with Alex.

Lucas would be in Prince Siegfried's kingdom in the storybook The Prince and the Raven, which might be a happier existence for him than his current path. Drosselmeyer might be a fan of tragedy but at least here, Lucas isn't one of the main characters. (I have a feeling Drosselmeyer would heartily approve of Mother 3, though...) He is able to communicate with animals, so it's possible that he might even be found by Prince Siegfried's swans. If all of this happened right now, he could easily find Elsa's brother and she'd be exonerated before breaking her taboo.

Which leaves Mia on the Nowhere Islands. It doesn't matter who's there instead of Lucas. If Lucas isn't there, no one else can pull the Needles besides the Masked Man and the Pigmask Army will always come out victorious. Mia's magic would probably work out similar to their PSI, however, so she could do a damn good job holding them back for a while.

Follows-Chalk in Stitch's canon is easy enough, Stitch's Earth is our Earth set around 2002. After a brief stint in jail for cooking pigeons over a spit in a public park, he'd eventually find his way via state work programs into a job as a custodian for a building somewhere in downtown Honolulu. He couldn't be happier.

Stitch would get lumped in with the other Fallout beasties that can best be summed up as "My God, what has science done?!" He'd look exactly the same and tier somewhere around the Mother Deathclaw. Given his canon immunity to pesky things like bullets, fire and the scarcity of large bodies of water to drown him in, I'm fairly certain most player characters would be hosed.

I tried sorting by first name, last name, username and age, and I still had two DCU pups next to each other.

So: RANDOM.

Will Turner --> Scarlet Pimpernel
Marguerite Blakeney -->DCU
Renee Montoya --> Claymore
Teresa --> DCU
Dinah Lance --> Haddyn
Mel Fray --> Leonardo
Mac --> Discworld
Death --> DCU
Floyd Lawton --> Pirates land.

OK, some of these work really well.

Will Turner in late 18th century England? He'd hardly even notice it. Screw the French and their Terror, he hops on a boat ASAP and becomes a pirate. Arrrr.

If he's Captain of the Flying Dutchman, he even more doesn't notice it. Arrrr.

Marguerite Blakeney, Teresa and Death in the DCU.
Well, Marguerite quickly falls in love with a billionaire playboy or a mild mannered reporter or a scientist or any one of the many gorgeous men in the universe. She is popular with everyone and becomes famous, and then gets kidnapped a lot. No worries, she gets rescued every time! Until the day when she's stuffed in a refrigerator.

Teresa is a pretty powerful supervillain and it takes some of the most powerful members of the Justice League to bring her down. Then it depends on who finds her, whether she has a 'it's good to help people' road to heroism, or if she falls in with a villain team like the Secret Six. She fits in really well with the Six, in fact, so we'll leave her there.

Death is already there, sort of. He's just in a girl-shape. He enjoys being her.

Renee Montoya dies horribly in the Claymore world, eaten by yoma. Sorry, Renee. RIP.

Dinah Lance in Haddyn isn't changed that much except she has a flying motorcycle! She fights lurks and criminals on the streets of 23rd century New York instead of Gotham.

Mel on the streets of Florence has a whale of a time as a thief. While not leader of the gang, she probably makes friends with Leonardo and steals him the things he wants. Snarks at Lorenzo, hates Piero. It's great.

Mac is also right at home on the Discworld. He strolls right into the Thieves Guild and is running it within a month. Not as Leader, mind you. Just, behind the scenes like things should be run. He's probably got a little witchcraft going for him.

Lawton is a great pirate. He gets to kill a lot of people and steals magic gold because he doesn't care about being a zombie, and kills more people and then gets annoyed because the guns in this world suck.

Hmmmmm.

Felix doesn't do all that well in Equestria. For one thing, he's a human. Also he's a warrior in a place that doesn't have much use for them. Although if he lands in the Everfree Forest and doesn't follow the Milliways-ponies' path, he might do all right; that's where the monsters mostly tend to be. Mostly. Come to think of it, he could do very well if he were to land in G1-pony canon.

Kain is in much the same boat.

Fluttershy... let's be reasonably kind and have her show up during Felix's canon, so there'll be a group of people around that I'm familiar with. Initially, they won't know what to make of her; Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle could probably pass as djinn for a while, at least visually, but Fluttershy couldn't, and she's clearly not a monster. Odds are, her best bet would be to get to northern Angara; I could see her doing very well in Vale or Kolima, or maybe Imil. Barring that, she'd probably end up in some kind of private zoo or something equally unpalatable.

Cranky... I have no idea. He wouldn't get along with the Final Fantasy IV characters, but then he doesn't get along with just about anyone else either.

[personal profile] needs_fern 2012-12-06 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Minor follow-up: It occurs to me that the people of Garoh, the werewolf village, would probably also accept Fluttershy. Of course, she might not be happy when they turn into intelligent carnivores once a month...

I'm going to put mine in order of having gotten them:

Turtleverse
Loompaverse
Middleverse
Avatarverse

I think the turtles would blend quite nicely in the Middleverse. Splinter too. Honestly, I'm kind of convinced that Sensei Ping and Splinter have met in the Battle Nexus, which is where Ping learned the Cur-lee maneuver and Splinter the Wu-han Thumb of Death.

Loompas anywhere are horrific and wrong. HORRIFIC AND WRONG!
I think they'd find their way to the Spirit World and eat Koh. That's how horrific and wrong they are.

Honestly? I don't know that Ida would do all that badly in the Turtleverse, though she'd do a whole lot better in any of the animated versions rather than the quasi-Mirage one I reference most.

I...am honestly kind of perturbed about Bumi and Aang being in the Wonka verse. Surely they'd break out of the Factory of Horrors that is Wonka Industries...because that place is a madhouse. A MADHOUSE I TELL YOU! Though, the process of getting a 50 year old Bumi to wrangle his 12 year old father would be kind of amusing to watch in my head.
bbq_platypus: (Default)

[personal profile] bbq_platypus 2012-12-05 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Great prompt. I'll go by the order in which I apped them.

Jim in the Whoniverse is a difficult one to pin down, since Doctor Who encompasses so many settings and places. For the sake of simplicity (and for the sake of not cheating and just sticking him in the middle of The Gunfighters or A Town Called Mercy), we'll say he ends up a companion of the Doctor. The Doctor would appreciate his sense of humor, but probably not so much his substance abuse and gun usage. There'd probably be a bit of a Captain Jack dynamic to it, too, if you know what I mean.

Borgel...oh, dear, he wouldn't fit into the Tiberium 'verse at ALL. He's a peaceful man, and C&C is pretty much All Apocalyptic World War, All the Time.

Leela, were she the PC from the Myst games, would probably stab her way through a lot of the puzzles. Still, being unable to read is kind of a handicap in this 'verse. It's a lot easier to imagine her as a member of the Moiety on Riven.

Kane could easily slip into Angel Eyes's role in the Leoneverse. Only he'd come back to life pretty much immediately after Blondie kills him. (If it were another Leone film, he would undoubtedly be a more active, more ambitious, and less infirm version of the railroad magnate from Once Upon a Time in the West).

Atrus would fit right in with the more scholarly elements of Tamrielic society. I could easily see him as an alchemist, but I think he'd fit in best with the Psijics.

Tuco, being from roughly the same time period as the one in which Blazing Saddles is ostensibly set, would initially fit right in, taking a comfortable place as Hedley's most ruthless and least loyal associate. The weirdness of Mel Brooks's imagination would wear on him after a while, though. Everyone would find him pretty funny, though.

And my next pup:

Caius, like most people, would be quite baffled by what he encountered with Borgel in Time, Space, and the Other. That being said, I suppose I could imagine him filling the "competent, but ultimately not as useful as the crazy person" role that you occasionally see in Pinkwater's stories (e.g. the safari guide from The Worms of Kukumlima). Still, it is a general rule of thumb that Pinkwater's adult characters tend to either be useless or crazy. (Never both - you're either one or the other).

Since I have four, it's less a shuffle than a swap. Arranged alphabetically by first name (real first name, in the Trickster's case)...

Bolin ends up in Supernatural. He, uh, might get hunted or mistaken for one of the Cold Oak kids. SORRY BOLIN. (Though maybe his Constant Enthusiasm For Everything will endear him to some of the hunters before they kill him?)

Felix Gaeta teleports over to Fringe. He might actually do fairly well there! I can see him as a faintly baffled prime!Lincoln Lee type who gradually adjusts to the weirdness of Fringe Division and goes on to be a decent agent. Either that, or he fits in with alt!Fringe's militaristic style perfectly. They've got plenty of background characters who call out coordinates! ...er.

(Hilariously, Alessandro Juliani -- being a full-fledged member of the Five Actors in Vancouver Club -- actually had a brief cameo on Fringe. So did Brad Dryborough, for that matter! Even in another world, Gaeta and Hoshi will always stay together. *solemn*)

The Trickster hops to the Avatarverse, which...could be interesting from a cultural perspective as much as anything else. He'd probably get along okay as a spirit, though. Or a spirit disguised as a pro-bender, in keeping with his background on SPN.

And Olivia Dunham, I am so sorry, but you've drawn the short straw and end up in Battlestar Galactica. Luckily, there are no shortage of awesome ladies to accompany you as you take up your post as a Marine.

Only having three pups means I shift them once forwards or back (oh, modular arithmetic). So I'll just do by 'verse.

OUaT: Lois would be Emma-like. She's not the type to be a fairy-tale child, but accidentally winding up in the crazytown and helping the heroes is her shtick. young!Tavi: either a subtly more cunning Henry-like; or trapped fairy-tale long-lost-heir from another kingdom, who in Storybrooke makes friends with Henry and helps him. adult!Tavi: see previous option two, except in the middle of his arc, and an architect or engineer in Storybrooke.

Alera: Henry would be Citizenry, not sure what exactly. Lois would be the daughter of a famous and talented Legion captain, probably with mild water and metalcrafting. Honestly, I don't think either fits the 'verse well. If you have more complete ideas, I'd welcome them.

DCU: Henry is a hero fanboy as a kid; getting older, he becomes a hero's civilian aide, maybe eventually upgrading to sidekick through accidental powers or inheriting them or something. Tavi gets Bat-trained when young; as a young adult his superpowers turn up and he becomes not-quite-a-flying-brick. He eventually sets up shop in his own city and joins the Justice League. In civilian life, he's got a double-degree in mechanical engineering and computer science, probably minored in history due to an obsession with the Romans. Oh, and his wife's an alien who absorbs his powers.

Na na na na na! Bat-Tavi!

I'm going to go hide now.

But first! Shoehorning people into Alera.
Lois need information. Better than that, she craves secrets. I expect that, one way or another, she will be finding PLOT to get involved with. THey don't usually do field promotions to the intelligence services unless things have become quite bad, of course.

Henry... I'm not as in touch with. What ever his furies, where ever he is though, he will be learning from the old stories and applying it to the right now. For Alera that means histories and probably an excellent grasp of logistics and tactics that works best against recurring foes. Also, politeness.

I'm just going to be dropping each character down one in my usual order:

So Elle goes to Avatarverse... where she would not fit in at all. She doesn't speak the language and there's no one in the world who looks like her. Her electrical powers, though, probably wouldn't be as much of an issue, as she could pass it off as weird firebending if she had to.

Asami goes to Parks and Rec, which is basically just a quirkier version of the contemporary real world. Aside from the language barrier, I think she could handle our universe and all its future!technology well enough, even if it would mean a lot of learning new geography/history/etc.

Leslie goes to the Land of the Dead. Granted, if she actually died and went to it, I think she'd get a golden ticket pretty quick. But as it is, she'd be the best middle manager the Department of Death ever had.

Manny goes to the Land of Ooo - which has its own Land of the Dead! Though it's nowhere near as pretty as Manny's. Still, all things considered, he wouldn't really stand out at all no matter where he was. Especially as he doesn't want to eat flesh like the other skeletons there.

Marceline goes to Heroesverse, where I guess she kills everyone. Um. That aside, even with all the specially-powered people, Heroesverse would be incredibly boring compared to Ooo.

Let's shuffle by user name, because LJLogin is my actual memory. Also, limiting this to active pups and excluding sandbox characters.

Tyler Darrow -> Negima!
They're both rather kitchen sink in their approach to fantasy. There are some definite misunderstandings, but given the Negima is generally more optimistic and that the canonical eventual fate of Tyler's world is a post nuclear war expansion book where nothing was Ragnarok proofed but the player characters and the opposition...

Janet van Dyne -> Atomic Robo
Janet is here to help shoot misuse of science in the face or face like area. Drop in, back story swap, it doesn't matter.

Izumi Ako -> Young Justice
You know those people who gasp when they see the heroes? That's Ako right there. With a backstory swap she's probably hauling around a quality first aid kit because people a school keep getting hurt.

Robo -> NightLife
Robo is pretty much an OCP for everyone who thinks about it too hard. He's not magical. At all. He doesn't need anything from humans, or indeed any living thing besides mental interaction to sustain himself and that is mostly to keep from going crazy.
Robo, on the other hand, wants a word with who ever pried the walls holding back the horrors from beyond time and space.

Artemis Crock -> Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Young Avengers starts early? Seriously, like she's going to stand back and not do anything.

Bilbo goes to Merlin'verse, where... well, the technology is about the same, but he'd find the ban on magic baffling and ridiculous, and he'd hate to end up as some nobleman's pet dwarf (because he's a hobbit, thank you very much) because no one would believe such a small person could be anything else.

Merlin would go to The History Boys'verse, where once again he'd have to hide his magic. Or he'd lose it entirely and be just an ordinary person, which is a rather sad thought.

Stuart would go to Avengers'verse, which while it appears to be just like his own, also has monsters and magic and superheros. Who knows, he might decide it's a perfect time to become a Batman-type, once he's made his fortune.

Steve would go to Tolkein'verse, and after he got used to the technology (or lack thereof) and magic, he'd make an excellent knight.

That is because Steve is actually a paladin. I have no idea how Dr. Erskine managed to get Steve actual PC status, let alone run the conversion between systems, but there was an awful lot of gear involved.

In the order of longest-played to newest, since that's how I usually talk about them...

Brisco - ends up in Shawn's universe, which is more or less our own. I can see him fitting in okay in 21st century California, though he'd have to find somewhere to lay low and adapt at first. Talk about your culture shock.

Fry - Ahahah... oy. Dean's world somehow manages to be both futuristic and permanently stuck in the 70s, which kind of suits Fry pretty well. The nice thing about being a delivery guy is that you can pretty much do it anywhere and anywhen, so assuming he didn't get on someone's bad side, he'd probably acclimate just fine as well.

Shawn - in the 1890s. This would deeefinitely take the most getting used to, although we see him in a mock wild west town in canon (and I still have no idea where the hell he learned to ride a horse.) I'm not exactly sure what he'd end up doing... maybe still the psychic thing.

Dean - in 31st century New York. Would probably take a while to come to grips with some of the wackier aspects of the Futuramaverse, but would probably be glad for the break from his own world.

I only have one character who is actually a part of the Bar proper so I'm expanding it to include the two I intend to app at a later date and the one who I almost apped and then changed my mind about.

Aradia ([personal profile] death_fangirl) from Homestuck
Jack Skellington ([personal profile] thepumpkinking) from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Zombie/{...}/No Name McGee ([personal profile] beganwitha_d) from Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name
Dr Cameo "Scary Teeth" Thurlow ([personal profile] doctorscaryteeth) from Fallen London/Echo Bazaar

There's no meaningful order to these, it's just the order that I used for my character roster.

Aradia in Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name. I don't think an alien time traveller would stand out that much in the Fantasy Kitchen Sink they've got goin' on. She's a fair bit younger than the main cast though. However I think she would get along all too well with Hanna since they're both gung-ho adventurous types.

Jack Skellington in Fallen London makes my head hurt. Um. Well. I suppose he'd be a freakishly tall tomb-colonist, for starters.

...that's all I got.

Zombie in Homestuck. Hm. I'm genuinely unsure whether zombies exist in Homestuck, since the hordes that roam outside Kanaya's house are only referred to as "undead" and could perhaps be rainbow drinkers gone bad instead. Moving on from that particular question, he seems like a bit of a Kanaya-analogue himself, being a calm and nurturing undead type.

Thurlow would be Doctor Scary Teeth, a mad scientist and random denizen of Halloween Town.

Clemmy would actually adapt well to Santa Barbara. It's as off the wall as Reno, only without the slightly scuzzier patina.

Dixie in Ponyville? Hmm - well, the DO already have a few saloon ponies already, one more wouldn't hurt!

Jules would be horrified by Dangle's everything, and everyone's total lack of professionalism. She'd end up having an affair with Cherisha because she'd be the only person around her who understands duty and law enforcement basics.

That leaves Pinkie in Brisco's world, which would be hilarious. Not that Brisco would notice - ALL of his horses talk back.
