Disclaimer: the following list may not number 1000, it just seemed a good way to prepare the reader for a long and probably pointless list.

While I'm pretty sure there's already a list of characters we would next like to see in the show, I don't possess the strength at the moment to go digging for it. So I'm a list here based solely on the material which has already been drawn from in the show (which gives us A LOT of characters to pick from like any little kid in a candy shop):

Those are the easy ones.

Team JNPR gives us a significantly larger pool to draw from due mostly to Pyrrha as Achilles and Nora as Thor:

If I'm right about Russel being Robin Hood:

Will Scarlet, Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriff, Prince John, King Richard, Maid Marian, Little John, and Friar Tuck.

Team CFVY, meanwhile, provides admittedly next to nothing. Coco is likely based on Coco Chanel and the only character I can think of in relation to her is Igor Stravinsky. If I'm right about Fox being based on William Fox (producer)... that also really adds nothing. Velvet as the Velveteen Rabbit offers... well... the Boy. As for Yatsuhashi (whose last name in the show might be either Kengyo or Ryu,)

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz:

Peter and the Wolf: The Wolf, The Three Hunters

Bartholomew and the Oobleck: King Derwin, The Magicians, Bell Ringer, and Royal Trumpeter.

Cinder's Faction:

Journey to the West:

Lastly, Tukson's resemblance to Sabretooth from X-Men opens the door to a whole slew of Marvel inspirations... but I'll leave that list for someone else to make.

If I left out any of your favorite characters, feel free to add them. Keep in mind, I don't necessarily want all of these to become characters. Like the Titan Atlas, I would feel comfortable with any kind of reference, but admittedly there are those I think would be much more suited to becoming characters.
