Well, I have a theme idea that I've already got the basics worked out, I just need opinions on key elements.

The team theme is video game franchises; franchises that started out as video games and branched into other things such as movies, books, tv shows and manga. It doesn't have to be a successful branch, but it does need an identifiable player character who is canon across the various branches.

For this reason, I have chosen:
 * 1) Legend of Zelda (Link is like, one of the most identifiable characters in gaming), which has a tv series cartoon and a manga about it, as well as various merchandise.
 * 2) Halo (Master Chief is another extremely identifiable character in gaming), which has various books and spin offs, as well as merchandise.
 * 3) Assassin's Creed (Desmond is the common link between all games except the end ones, and even then you're still mucking about in the same DNA strand I believe), which has recently gotten a movie alongside the multitude of books and merchandise.
 * 4) The 2003 boot of Prince of Persia (The Prince is an easily recognisable character that's consistant across the games), which Disney tried their hand at a movie of.

Now, I don't want to just base the characters off the playable character from each game. I want to allude to the game franchise as a whole; various NPC's, enemies, weapons, setting, etc that are consistant throughout the game. So I wanted opinions of what you believe are the core elements of each game are.

For LoZ, I have Link, Zelda, Ganon, the Triforce, the Master Sword and his shield use alongside it, the bow as the staple ranged weapon, the green tunic Link wears in each game to start off with.

Halo, I have the Master Chief, Cortana, the UNSC, the Covenant, the assault rifle as the staple ranged weapon.

Assassin's Creed, I have Desmond, the legacy of important people (his ancestors), the Eagle Eye vision, the Assasins and the Templars war, the pieces of Eden, the hidden gauntlet.

And Prince of Persia I have the Prince, the Princess from the first game, the Dagger containing the Sands of Time, and the evil side with chains he gets in the third game.

What else can you think of that is a core part of the game franchises?
