Jaxx? More like HAXX!
I imagine making a Zoofights-RP platformer with multiple characters where the final fight would be a hideous fusion of Swanmass and the Lord or something. Sine would have multiple weapons and a double jump but be fragile. Zephyrus would have projectiles, be tank-like, and have Mach, but otherwise be slow and plodding. Erebus would do horrendous damage at close range but be easy to hit. Sarah would have little attack power but potent healing and holy spells. Eddie would have wings but his attacks would all have a wind up time. Jonesy would do great damage to stationary enemies with her flamethrowers but have trouble with moving enemies. And so on.
I've had the same idea but with a tactical RPG that follows the major storylines of the bar.
Jaxx would be an uncontrollable ally character who wastes most of his turns on "Drink Booze" but would sometimes help you in dire situations. That or you'd have the item "Bag of Glitter" that you could use in a tight spot to summon him.
I think the bar patrons would work well in a brawler game, like Mortal Kombat or SSB. Eddie would have the powers of rock and his Axe, Sine with her magic swords and Bleed energy, Erebus with his Warhammer weapons and Night Lord reflexes, etc. Each character would have a different melee fighting style, for example Jaxx would use his weird mix of pub-brawling and Jeet Kune Do, while David would use Savate or a kicking-based version of Silat.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I might just go write up a post about such a game.

Moonwalking at light-speed into the castle? I can dig it.
