"characters having a big impact on the plot/setting" is basically the focus of fade rift, a small game based in the dragon age (basically just high fantasy) universe.
characters can be AU'd into the setting, or show up from their own canon through a magical rift between worlds. because of the small size and large number of OCs we have, many people are LCWs, and there have been a number of them from less well-known canons who went on to do very well.
The focus of the game is an overarching metaplot to Save the World From Evil, which requires drawing support from a wide range of sources (politics, espionage, action adventure, magical research, etc) and working together on smaller monthly missions and tasks. Player plots are encouraged, and there's always downtime available for CR development if you want it.
I only know Liir, alas, but if any of that grabs your interest I'd love to see him or any of your dudes around the tdm.
