As promised, I'll be starting off the roster with franchises from Weekly Shonen Jump. For those of you who couldn't read my selection criteria before, I'll list them below so you can understand why these were selected.
1. Jump Franchises only: Self Explanatory, no? Though I'll admit, I'd have loved to see FMA or Hellsing Characters make a guest appearance.
2. Previous Jump Game Rosters apply: Some Franchises listed below actually DO have representatives from previous 'Jump' Crossover games.
3. Only series with Anime Adaptation: Again, not limited to shows released in the west. Any form of animation (Anime, OVA, ONA) qualifies for consideration.
4. Mostly, but not Limited to, Combat-Oriented Series: Quite a few Gag-Manga characters can go toe-to-toe with Battle-Mangas. Just as Arale-chan.
5. NO SPORTS MANGA: Just...no. Don't ask.
Weekly Shonen Jump Roster
Assassination Classroom: Most of you are probably expecting Koro-sensei to be on this list, but considering how ridiculously overpowered he is, my original idea was to have the members of the Graduated Class 3E be involved with Gamma Team, while Ritsu would be uploaded into the Jump Force Base's Defense Systems.
Playable characters:
Koro-Sensei: Likely not involved in story-mode but unlockable for gameplay. Moveset reflects J-Stars.
Nagisa: His fighting style would make use of his 'assassin' training. His 'ultimate' would probably emulate his defeat of Takaoka.
Shiro: Would likely be on the side of the Venoms, seeking revenge for his defeat at Koro-sensei's hands.
Ryūnosuke & Rinka: a 2-in-one combat sniper pair (similar to how Android 17 & 18 are often depicted in fighting games).
Baoh: These characters would most likely be 'wandering' characters that can be recruited, or allied with the Venoms in order to get revenge on Baoh/Ikuro, whose story-arc would likely mirror what we saw in his Manga/OVA.
Playable characters:
Ikuro/Baoh: His fighting style would likely be similar to his representation in JoJo All-Star Battle, with his Finishing Move being his infamous Laser Canon.
Dordo: Allied with Venoms in order to take revenge on Baoh. A cyborg Sniper whose finishing move is an explosive round capable of destroying a helicopter.
Walken: Baoh's 'Rival' character, capable of melting objects with his psychokinesis at close & long range. his 'Awakened' form makes it dangerous to approach him.
BASTARD!: Admittedly we'd have to limit ourselves to the few characters that appeared in the OVA series, but we really do need to get more 'Magic' based characters out there. Most of these are a 'Rogue' faction, not allied with the Venoms or Jump Force.
Playable Characters :
Dark Schneider: Magician, Most of his moves would be 'lesser' spells from the Franchise. His Ultimate would be Helloween.
Gara: Swordsman fighter, his 'Awakened State' & Ultimate involves the 'Demon Blade Muramasa'.
Arshes Nei: A Magician with Sword moves. Her Ultimate involves Lighting magic.
Kall-Su: Half-Ice Dragon, wields Ice-Magic & greatsword. His 'Ultimate Move' invoves transforming into a Dragon to freeze his foes in ice.
Di-Amon: A vampire wizard who serves DS. Threw him in because he's hilarious. Ultimate involves draining foes blood.
Beelzebub: I'm admittedly not as familiar with this series so if you have any suggestions outside of Oga/Baby-Beel, feel free to chip in. Likely a Rogue Faction that later ally with Jump Force.
Playable characters:
Oga/Baby-Beel: They were in J-Stars Victory Vs+ and their movesets reflect that game.
Hilda: Her entire purpose is to ensure Beel's safety, so she really has no care for Jump Force, but will not allow Venoms to abduct him.
Black Cat: While the Sweepers & Chronos Numbers would likely ally with Jump Force, there's no guarantee Creed's Apostles would ally with the Venoms so they're either a Rogue Faction or certain members were revived as Venoms.
Playable Characters:
Train: Gunfighter, uses special bullets, his Awakened State charges his body with electricity, his Ultimate fires his 'Railgun Burst Bullet'.
Sven: Trick-Fighter, his Attaché Weapon Case has various weapons. His 'Awakened State, "Grasper Eye" allows him to see things in slow motion.
Eve: Most of her moves would be referenced from Ultimate Stars. She would have a rivalry with Yami from To Love-ru.
Sephiria: Swordfighter, her Ultimate, Mekkai World Destroyer, completely reduces a target to nothing, leaving a 'Shura' statue image.
Creed: Swordfighter, moveset based on his Imagine Blade. Half-Awaken: Gains whip properties. Full awaken Transforms. Ultimate: Creates a colossal blade of light.

Maro: Can control gravity within a certain range to attack. His ultimate has him roll into a ball to crush opponents.
Deak: Wields the power to produce & control ice to attack & trap his opponents, his ultimate involves grabbing his opponent & freezing them.
Bobobo: Another series I'm not that familiar with. But since they were in previous titles, they get a pass here.
Bobobo: Similar Moveset from J-Stars.
Don Patch: Same as above.
Buso Renkin: While set Post-Series, most of the Alchemist Army have reunited to ally with Jump Force, granting the more 'normal' members the benefit of a Buso Renkin to combat Venoms. At the time, the Homunculi live on the Moon, but some may be revived to ally with the Venoms.
Kazuki: Fighting Style similar to Ultimate Stars & Papillon Park. His Fully Awakened State transforms him into Victor-III & absorbs health from foes.
Tokiko: Fighting Style similar to Ultimate Stars & Papillon Park. Her Ultimate has her use Valkyrie Skirt to 'Splatter (the target's) guts'.
Papillon: Fighting Style similar to Papillon Park: Mostly attacks using gunpowder butterflies. His Ultimate creates a floating homing mine-field of them.
Captain Bravo: Announces all his moves when fighting. His Ultimate involves trapping the opponent in Silver Skin Reverse before delivering a final blow.

Victor: Wields a Giant battle Axe that can manipulate gravity. in his Awakened State he becomes Victor-I & absorbs health from foes. his Ult. sends foes to the moon.
Soya: Fighting Style similar to Papillon Park. Not much else known really.
D. Gray-Man: My original intention was for both Jump Force & the Venoms to be using the White & Black Arcs as their respective Base of Operations. As such, most of the characters listed will be from around the time the Black Order seize control of the White Arc.
Playable Characters:
Allen: His move-set would focus around Crown Clown. His Awakened state has him draw the Sword of Exorcism, with his Ultimate using it to slice the foe.
Lenalee: Kick-based fighter, her ultimate involves using her 'Black Boots' to slam the opponent into the ground.
Kanda: Swordsman, his moveset revolve around his sword, mugen. His Awakened state & Ultimate involve his '5th Illusion' state.

Cross: Gunfighter, his Ultimate has Grave of Maria stun foes so he can use Arrow of The Original Sin. (Not involved in story mode?)
The Earl: Magician with sword moves, fires blasts of Dark Matter. His Awakened Form turns him into 'Adam'. His ultimate involves summoning Akuma to attack.
Tyki: Magician, can reject air to create a vacuum & launch Teez butterflies at foes. His Ultimate involves transforming into his 'Awakened' Noah form.
Demon Slayer: Another series I'm not familiar with, but have heard good things about. Most likely the characters are brought to modern times through time-space shenanigans brought on by the worlds colliding.

Arale: Moveset based on J-Stars, so likely paired with Gatchan as well.
Dr. Mashirito: Allied with Venoms to get revenge, moveset revolves around cybernetics, his ultimate involves blowing himself up.
Food Wars: Definately not playable characters, most of the crew will likely be employed by Jump Force to cook food for survivors etc.
Playable Characters: None, unless mini-games are implemented.
Gintama: While I'm not as familiar with this series as i should, I can't help but wonder how they managed to exclude it from Jump Force. Hell, Gintoki would probably think he died and went to Jump Heaven with all his favourite anime characters running around.
Playable Characters:
