I had a similar idea for a Doctor Who game. I'd tell all the players to make two characters they want to play, their version of The Doctor, and a companion. Obviously this is so when The Doctor inevitably regenerates, one of the other players can immediately pick up the role without having to pause the game to generate a new character from scratch.

Or at least, that's what I tell them during session zero.

The actual first session or two of the game would involve everybody playing their Doctor, brought together by a villain collecting Timelords from across parallel universes, and culminates in a scenario where only one Doctor can survive -- and the players have to choose which one that is. This Doctor is then joined by the other players' companion characters.
