Time Junction

Time Junction is an episodic umbrella series by the Mirror Samurai and Zed Brainz. The series was first conceived in 2018 on another wiki that Mirror has since left. In a passing conversation in 2021, however, the creators had the idea to revitalise the series with a more coherent structure and modernised cast.
==Synopsis==
Whenever there's an error in the space-time continuum, a person gets sent to a blank “time nexus”, where all they can do is wait for the next portal that can let them out. With space-time anomalies increasing as of late, several people arrive here at once, and happen upon an excellent idea - to convert the nexus into a hotel, which they call the Time Junction, a proper place for space-time victims to stay until they can make their leave.
==Characters==
===Hotel Staff===
Hat Kid 	(Series of origin: A Hat in Time)
A hatted human-like alien who, after the events of her game of origin, wound up in a time nexus after trying to make it back home. However, she had the idea of founding a hotel in the nexus, to give people a place to stay should they ever be lost into time.
Cherry Blossom Cookie 	(Series of origin: Cookie Run)
A cookie baked by a witch who came to life, and made her escape alongside countless other cookies to avoid being eaten. She works as the head maid in the Time Junction. When not cleaning, she can be found enjoying picnics, or attempting to use her umbrella to fly.
Orange Cookie 	(Series of origin: Cookie Run)
Another of the witch's escaped cookies. She's an outdoor person into sports, especially tennis. She was placed to work as the receptionist, to give guests some of her positive energy as soon as they arrive.
Corrin 	(Series of origin: Fire Emblem)
A human who can transform into a dragon, currently in an identity crisis. At the time of arriving at the Time Junction, he was going through an identity crisis, not knowing which kingdom, Hoshido or Nohr, to side with - so he's been known to spend some of his free time contemplating options. He runs the hotel's complaints department, taking the guests' feedback so that the staff can make the establishment better.
Chell 	(Series of origin: Portal)
An escaped test subject from Aperture Science, where she fought and won against an evil machine. Using her stolen Portal Gun from the laboratory, she can create portals between any surfaces. She was given the job of porter due to this ability, being easily able to transport luggage across far distances. She is also mute, only communicating through sign language, but it's unclear whether she's naturally mute or just very, very angry.
Bow Kid 	(Series of origin: A Hat in Time)
Hat Kid's cheerful and perky best friend, another human-like alien adorning a bow. Despite being from an alternate universe, she and Hat Kid still get along perfectly. She works in quality assurance, due to her supposed eye for perfectionism.
Jen, Moss and Roy 	(Series of origin: The IT Crowd)
The three employees of Reynholm Industries' small but overworked IT Deparment. Roy is a grumpy slacker who hates people and hates his job even more. Moss is a nerd who enjoys his work with computers and gets along well with Roy. Jen is the team's relationship manager, who has to contend with the others' antics. The three of them act as the hotel's IT specialists, helping guests and staff with technical issues.
Lemon Cookie 	(Series of origin: Cookie Run)
Another of the cookies made by the witch. Due to his acidic lemon quality, he can manipulate electricity using his special cube. He generates the infinite electric supply of the hotel. He and Orange Cookie are childhood friends.
Herb Cookie 	(Series of origin: Cookie Run)
A cookie gardener, known for his skill in calming spirits using the fresh scent of his herbs. He works as an oxygen provider for the hotel, as the time nexus is known to have a shortage of this, using his plants to ensure the survival of the guests.
Sea Fairy Cookie 	(Series of origin: Cookie Run)
Another one of the living cookies, baked and escaped long before the time of Cherry Blossom, Orange and the others. She was frozen as ice by a curse, before being rescued by the cookies of modern times. The sword she carries is what allows her to stay animated - if she let it go, she may well freeze again. In the Time Junction, she provides the endless water for the hotel's taps.
The Snatcher 	(Series of origin: A Hat in Time)
A shadowy being from Subcon Forest, who tricks those that fall into his traps into signing away their lives on his contracts. His evil laugh is especially unmatched. Because of these abilities and his calculated mind, he keeps track of finances in the hotel and can convert other types of currency into Pons with his magic. His ideas to save costs in the hotel are effective, but often unpleasant for the guests. Because of this, people usually ignore him.
The Ten Kirbies 	(Series of origin: Kirby)
Ten copies of Kirby, born when the pink puff was split in ten by Necrodeus. They're led by Kirby's heroic heart, taking the form of a glowing star. All of them are obsessed with food, and for that reason, they've set up a restaurant in the shopping area, entirely staffed by Kirbies. Their clumsy teamwork often causes a lot of accidents and mishaps, but their restaurant is always popular between the guests. Maybe it's because they're so darn adorable?
King Dedede 	(Series of origin: Kirby)
The self-proclaimed King of Dreamland, a large penguin wielding a wooden hammer. He runs a general store known as the Dededemart in the hotel, having a fierce rivalry with the Kirbies' restaurant. Despite his store being a staple of the hotel, nobody can ever seem to get his name right, which annoys him greatly.
Susie 	(Series of origin: Kirby)
Full name Susanna Patrya Haltmann, she is the “executive assistant and secretary” at Haltmann Works Company (HWC). She's a science specialist, and being in the hotel has made her especially interested in the space-time continuum. When she's not buried in research, she manages the entertainment in the hotel.
DJ Octavio 	(Series of origin: Splatoon)
Ruler of the Octarians, DJ Octavio landed in the Time Junction after being taken out by a certain Inkling. As the name suggests, he loves music, so he's taken that opportunity to start a new record shop, Wasabi Beats, in the hotel. Results... have been mixed, but he's popular all the same.
The Conductor 	(Series of origin: A Hat in Time)
A cranky bird(?) director who runs the Owl Express and half of Dead Bird Studios. His movies are filled with western action, and plenty of rehashes of older films. He works as the hotel's film producer, which isn't really a hotel job but he insists it is anyway. DJ Grooves is his biggest rival, and he won't hesitate to use all kinds of bad language (for birds, that is) towards him.
DJ Grooves 	(Series of origin: A Hat in Time)
A groovy penguin director who runs a city on the moon and the other half of Dead Bird Studios. His movies are flashy and unique, but often too strange for people to enjoy. He works as the hotel's film producer, battling Conductor for the position. The Conductor may be his rival, but he doesn't hold much malice against him... usually...
Garfield the Deals Warlock	(Series of origin: The Adventure Zone)
A feline sales associate from the Fantasy Costco, specialising in magical potions and other enchanted wares. He absolutely loves lasanga, but despises alarm clocks. When not sleeping, he tends his new Fantasy Costco in the hotel. If you cannot afford an item, he will accept severed body parts as alternative payment.
The Roombots 	(Series of origin: Original)
A legion of all-purpose service robots built by Hat Kid from broken scrap metal found in the hotel. Their AI is incredibly shoddy, causing them to often make mistakes or mess up requests. Their coding is so scrambled that even the IT Department can't understand them. Nonetheless, they're iconic in the hotel and are usually treated affectionately by guests. (When they're working properly, of course...)
===Hotel Guests===
MR Z BRAINZ 	(Series of origin: Starshards)
A clumsy zombie from the underworld that got lost on the way to work and ended up in the time nexus. He often gets taken along for the ride whenever shenanigans occur. He has a penchant for music, and often hangs out at Octavio's record shop. Despite his timid nature, he's often more down-to-earth than a lot of the other guests, and usually isn't afraid to speak his mind or be honest with people.
Sanae Kochiya	(Series of origin: Touhou)
A shrine maiden and wind priestess from the oriental land Gensokyo. Surprisingly for a clergywoman, she's a spunky and forward-thinking type. With no youkai to exterminate, being in the hotel has given her time to reflect on one of her greatest passions - creating things, from card games to an attempt at pitching bank notes to the hotel.
Wet Balloon 	(Series of origin: Starshards)
A fun-loving and easygoing zeppelin from Balloonia with a love for sports, lemonade, and of course, water. When soaked in too much elemental energy, they'll transform into a feral and destructive kraken. Despite being all from different timelines, they're friendly with many of the other guests, namely Brainz, Worm (nicknamed "W") and Flippa. Despite being mostly friendly, they have a hidden secret sadistic side.
Worm 	(Series of origin: Starshards)
TBA
Jasmine Rosez	(Series of origin: Plants vs. Zombies)
A specialist in botany, who raises sentient plants to defend the lawn against an endless army of zombies. She is known in her world for writing a series of Almanacs that describe the habitats, abilities and personalities of these plants in detail. Jasmine most enjoys spending time with others in her field of interest, such as Crazy Dave and Basil. As one of the most sensible and studious guests at the hotel, she can be quick to show skepticism before things have even taken a turn for worse.
Crazy Dave 	(Series of origin: Plants vs. Zombies)
Although erratic and insensible, Crazy Dave is a talented inventor and a skilled carer of plants. He comes from the same world as Jasmine, and they've apparently been on a long travel around their world to complete Jasmine's latest Almanac. A lot of the other guests don't see much besides Crazy Dave being, well, crazy, though many enjoy his antics regardless.
Flippa 	(Series of origin: Hyperball)

Mari 	(Series of origin: Omori)

Basil 	(Series of origin: Omori)
