Ok so this is what I have so far on the new Social Thread fanfiction
Takes place in the far future. Smashboard City is a huge futuristic metropolis of a central hub of the gaming world and Smash ability determines social status and therefore, power, both ingame and in the community. Regular 'Election' knockout tournaments are held by the elusive Warchamp, head administrator of the city, but it is rumored that none of the finalists to later become Mods ever managed to beat him.
Story follows a One Piece style narrative of a young man with a dream to be a top Smasher, joined on his quest by four or five other fighters whose motives just happen to overlap.
On their quest to reach notoriety and enter into the sacred guild known as the mysterious 'Back Room', the group is pitted against rival groups, gangs, elite level Premiums, and even the superhuman Mods to reach fame in their social hierarchy, each for their own reasons.
Takes inspiration from the site itself, One Piece, Gurren Lagann, TOME (Especially the Challenge of the Netkings arc), Smash Bros obviously, and small amounts of Kill la Kill.
Right now this is as far as I got in characters:
Myself, Flight, MainJPW, 2 or 3 more for main group.
FalKoopa and Red Royu are locks for Mod reps
Warchamp as the main opponent/nice guy antagonist (Basically Webmaster or a good version of the Spiral King)
Everything else, I'm open to suggestions.
