The only real idea I have is for all of our characters to wake up in some sort of World Half Empty in a fantasy setting with enemies/elements from all of our chars different 'verses. I.E., Touhou Fairies or Crimson Denizens as NPC enemies, etcetera. Our characters remember know their names, what they can do, and retain their basic motivations, but can't remember how they got to wherever they are, or many of the events before that. Then, there could be some gigantic Tower of Babel-sized mountain or something where they decide to go to see if there are answers there, since it's the only really notable feature in an otherwise empty land. Then, they end up running into each other and fighting each other as well as doing battle with various NPC enemies, and with each victory they gain some memories of their past, etcetera. Eventually, we could end up racing each other to the top so that the first one who gets there can go back to their own verse.
Comments? Suggestions? Opinions?
Well, Alice has NO motive whatsoever. So she can just bump into de group by chasing a wild critter (that's running for his dear life, of course!) and go from there. For the lulz. But I guess that can work.
Sugestion: Make the tower be Tartarus from Persona 3! Random dungeon tower. If you stay in one place for too long, the Reaper will come and kill you. Dual Weilding huge Revolvers too! Random interior desing means you can fit whatever piece of fiction/monster in there and it still fits. It can also be the Alice Part of the setting.

NPCs from the One Piece universe could be marines.

Okay. Revised plot.
Everyone wakes up, and remembers who they are, just not WHERE. They end up meeting a guy who tells them to go to the top of this mountain/tower thing, which you'll have to describe since I haven't played Persona, to kill some evil god at the top so they can go home. They'll alternatively be promised rewards if they're greedy like that - I.E., Marisa - or be motivated by their own curiosity or desire to return to their own 'verses. But, we end up being given our "quest" one by one, so it turns into a race to the top and a battle royale between all of our characters as well as fights with the NPCs, just for added mayhem.
Any comments? Other suggestions? Etcetera?
If not, I'll just start up the thread, or something.

I think, but I thought Victin was running this thing, so do we need to wait for him?

Eh. Alright. I guess we'd each begin at a different location and search around for a post or so, then Victin can show up and kick off the whole Quest Get! plot, since that part was his idea, so I assume he, as GM, wants to write it.
First we need a posting order. Whoever creates can go first, but then what order should we post in? The order in which our bios were put up on the characters thread?

I will post my character after everyone else, and that will be the cutoff for entering this RP. Now I will be back in 20-30 minutes. Have to rake stupid leaves with a stupid rake...

By do not remember where you came from, do you mean "do not remember the world" or "do not remember the location"?

Can't we ask the mods to put the GMs in a group so it's easier to talk with each other? I mean, having to PM two persons the same text each time will get complicated.

I have no idea, but he has been talking with Vic in PMs in the middle. I think he is about to finish.

Done. Sorry the post took so long and yet contained so little substance. It takes me a little while to get used to writing a new character, even one I'm somewhat familiar with.
