I was recommended by :icongreatkingrat88: to ask you about intergating Overwatch and Code Geass for a fanfiction crossover story where the two worlds are merged. He said you knew more about the lore of OW, so I should consult you.

The story would star D.Va and Lelouch/Zero, because my discussions with :icongreatkingrat88: led to use coming up with a lot of stuff involving those two.

Further details of what has been planned so far is here.

My main concern is integrating the lore and characters with the world of CG without it (hopefully) not drastically changing the characters too much.

He told me about that, and i'd be honored to help with this.

I'll be honest, i'm not too versed in D.Va lore as i'm more invested in the world of OW, rather then specifically it's characters. So please don't take my word as that off Kaplan :D

As for integrating lore and characters, I'm afraid some big changes may be inevitable. CG and OW are similar settings, but the political landscapes are wildly different. Where CG is about defeating the world-threathening superpower, OW is about recovering from the last great war, while preparing for the next one.

Thank you that would be very much appreciated. 

That's fine and my primary concern is setting up the world first and then working my way down to the characters. To a have solid foundation to build the story up from. No worries about the characters, but any opinion you might have on them or impression on some could be helpful. 

I agree and I after my talks with :icongreatkingrat88: that is inevitable with some of them, because right now we just talked about D.Va's background and ideas on how she and Lelouch might meet with a major change of Korea being invaded and conquered by China while she was sent to Japan to escape by her family, but she was just in time for Japan to be conquered. Another is Genji isn't a cyborg yet, but his support of Lelouch as Zero would open the door for that if you know what I mean if certain people found out. 

Still if possible I do want to keep the characters the same as who they are at their core, hopefully, so I don't have to deal with people jumping down my throat about them being OOC.

On the other hand :icongreatkingrat88: and I did agree that it could be interesting to explore how cast members of OW could react in such a world with Britannia having become a world-threatening superpower, which would be ironically the next great war that lies ahead. 

Further I think certain things from OW lore could help expand certain events or fill in the blanks to CG events like what events set off Britannia's war with the EU and/or how did the EU gain advancements in certain technology over Britannia. Likewise the same could happen for CG lore with OW which could be used to build up the combined world depending on what should be kept, expanded upon or gutted.

mhm. a few thoughts of my own:

I would imagine Talon would take the place of the Geass Cult, or at the very least strongly linked to Britannia. Maybe Charles controls it, maybe they are merely allies, maybe Britannia and Talon simply have ideals that are compatible (The Strong Should Rule and Progress Through Hardship respectively.)
