Hey! I don't own Scooby Doo obviously, this is the prologue then some explanations. I hope you enjoy.
The 5 were immortals. Simple right?
Not really.
When the term immortal springs to mind you could think just plain human that happens to live forever, vampire or god. You would think that the 5 were the same kind of immortal, but they weren't.
You would think that they would enjoy it but they don't.
Stuck at a certain age forever, unable to move on.
Would you enjoy that?
Fred was technically dead. Something they loved to tease him about. Something went wrong with the burying rituals when he died in battle and he was sent back to Earth. He wasn't quit human but you couldn't call him a ghost either. He was just there.
Daphne was a young Greek princess blessed by the gods. When Greece fell she somehow survived, when Rome fell she survived. People learnt about her and hunted her down, believing she was the secret to enternal youth. She escaped, living life in isolation, only returning to society 100 years ago.
Shaggy, or Norville, was a vampire. He was able to limit himself to animals now, after centuries of self control problems. He was turned at the age of 17 after an unidentifiable animal attacked him leaving him with a fear of the unknown.
Velma was a wish gone wrong. Her mother had wished for eternal life but she didn't specify who for. She had been cursed to never age, to stay the same for eternity. All around her people died but she never aged a day.
No one knew what or who Scooby was. He seemed to be a dog but like the others he never aged. In truth he was an alien from a distant planet, he had been on Earth almost since the beginning.
All four humans and the dog stumbled through some semblance of life until the late 1960s. A chance encounter led them to one another. At first they were distant, all of them had experienced death of loved ones and they didn't know how to get close to people.
Then, the mysteries began.

Are you interested in reading this?
If I added ships, which ones would you be most interested in?
Should I continue?
The characters would be a mix of all of the versions.
For instance Velma won't be as sharp as MI but she may be more sassy (is that the right word?) that Where are you. Fred will not be as dumb as in some versions and whilst he may be interested in traps he won't be obsessed like in MI. Daphne will likely be a mix of WNSD and Zombie island with VERY small aspects of Be Cool such as her strong morals (like in Sorcerers Snack.) (In England would that be philosophers snack?)
Shaggy and Scooby are mostly consistent in all versions. Vampires can eat food, they just don't store the nutrients like we do.
The monsters will mostly be fake and I might get some people to submit me villains if they want to.
The first few chapters will be them meeting and then we'll start the mystery part.
If you want to submit a monster:
