AU plotting post

au plotting post


Welcome to the Duocaeli's Plotting Post for OFFline world AUs! Rather than doing monthly installments to play with this optional mechanic, we've decided to use this permanently installed post for players to come in and engage with our AU mechanic as they please.

How does the AU mechanic work?
Upon arriving in the OFF world of Crane City, characters will find themselves encountering NPC residents and others who react to them as familiar citizens, friends, and family. While not necessary, there is an optional mechanic for characters to also suddenly regain memories of a life they had in Crane City, whether it be an entire lifetime or as someone who moved in and took up residence later on. However, all characters will intrinsically know that the Alternative Universe memories they have of the OFF world aren't their real memories.

In addition, while characters may have OFFline friends or family resemble canon characters that can be apped, they must also retain some differences. This is to allow for creative freedom for characters being apped in.

OOCly, Duocaeli puts a focus on canon personalities and histories of characters, but we wanted to have the optional AU mechanic for those who wanted to play with it! If you don't want to opt in, there is no requirement to have a top-level or entry in this page. If you would like to engage, please follow our example for organization's sake.

This AU Plotting Post will be linked on every monthly mod post as a reminder for those who would like to engage in the optional AU mechanic.

Player Name:
Player Contact:

Character Name: Feel free to also link to their permissions/info post if that's your jam!
Canon:
AU Occupation: Quick snapshot of what your character does.
AU Background: This can be as detailed or barebones as you want!
Looking For: Are there any particular kinds of AU CR that you'd like for your character? Childhood friends? Bitter academic rivals? It may also help to include your character's attitude on the AU memories - do they find them confusing and want to embrace them? Or will they ignore them to the best of their ability?

While not necessary, mods also encourage having a FROZEN "Notes" comment reply to your own top-level that lets you edit and include new AU details as you plot!



Otherwise, the entire post works like a general plotting area! Please comment under character comments to build AUs with each other. Don't be shy now!

traveler (lumine) / genshin impact

[personal profile] unalign 2023-03-10 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name: sele
Player Contact: pm or [plurk.com profile] inteyvat

Character Name: Traveler — Lumine (permissions is here)
Canon: Genshin Impact
AU Occupation: i want to be a gremlin and say she's a vtuber/esports player (except no one knows this?? maybe someone, like 1 or 2 people?? because she tries to keep this under wraps)
AU Background:
— parents are archaeologists and they travel the world, so she's an only child because no time to make more babies.
— but she still feels like something's missing a.k.a. her other half, so she knows how to play on her own as a kid but also craves that kind of connection with someone.
— lived in Crane City when she was a young'in but because of her mom and dad, she had to go travel the world with them.
— she was a student (still is in uni??) who does remote studying because she's always on the go, so people might know her name but not her face. only settled back down in Crane City when uni finally started because moving around sucks when you have a thesis to write and defend.
— studying archaeology too because it'll let her travel. also parents are both archaeologists, she likes history and ruins and rolling around in the dirt ... yup.
— wears white like a boss and never, ever gets it dirty. end of the day, the white dress she's still wearing is white.
— oh, and her gamertag is AbyssPrincess and her vtuber model is ike eveland with long blond hair.

that's all i can think of atm

Looking For:
— Lumine would find this all disconcerting because of her multitude of memories from different worlds and now this. trust level in this world is close zero because how dare they make her feel like Aether doesn't exist. she'll probably do the motions of her fake self and won't do stupid things like pick fights, but will have questions about it including the lack of a brother in this world.
— she's just returned to Crane City (like maybe a few years ago), so childhood friends y/n?? i'll-marry-you-when-we-grow-up playground confessions?? did she punch your character when they were young and your character never moved on from it? did she protect them from bullies? Lumine had long hair before, which she cut short because being under the sun all day is stressful and hot and not at all like angelina jolie's tomb raider.
— brother-figure? big brother-figure? younger brother-figure? she just wants her twin back ...
— people who know her AbyssPrincess persona in the vtubing world/games she plays in? i'll have to figure out what games she plays, ah. oh, but she won't reveal it off the bat but she'd be like "lel, i see" if she finds them out
— Nightfell crau? Nightfell crau
— i honestly don't know what else to look for, hm

[personal profile] unalign 2023-03-10 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
— childhood friends with hibiki!! third gremlin has arrived, woo
— saved childe from a bunch of guys during a fight. is currently the subject of his stalkerish tendencies ...
— friends with ruby when they were kids! used to defend ruby from her bullies ... but ah, she might've added to her abandonment issues??? sorry ruby ;;
— felix ........................................... rival egamer? childhood friends she accidentally punched in the face?
— kaveh, mistaken to be her brother but no not really. just because they have blond hair doesn't mean they're siblings. sometimes pays for his tab at the bar ... pls man
— bricks, casually but not really dating. friends sometimes hang out but it's still not dating.

The short gremlin trio is complete

Also childhood friends? Please? Younger Hibiki in this AU was somehow even more bubbly and bright (aka trauma got yeeted out the window), so maybe she barnacled to Lumine. AU Hibiki doesn't know how to throw a punch, so maybe she was Inspired by Lumine taking it to the schoolyard bullies. She's like a real-life hero!

this is cute!!

childhood friends with blonde hairs, probably got their braids and pigtails the same way while punching rude kids. i want hibiki to gasp when she learns that lumine has chopped off her long hair. but she'd love to hear what hibiki's been doing to bullies while she's gone ...

But your hair was so pretty, Lumine! She'll be so distraught.

And honestly it will be a lot of "kill them with kindness" but also that mean right hook she taught her once upon a time.

some sacrifices are made for the greater good, hibiki

good. good, good, good. sometimes, the mean right hook makes for an amazing first impressions with guys.

i can swerve away!

what did you do, sagi. but tbh, i'm also blanking out on what their cr will be, esp since lumine's just returned to crane city a few years back after being away for so long and underworld politics who cares about underworld politics.

then it's settled, one-sided nightfell crau is always a good default for kaito

bc he got shipped in with his netherworld memories but absolutely does not remember any of them

read: all the people he kissed and have now forgotten

(i'd love au family definitely)

would you like them to be cousins? athy will support rika's idol aspirations but also don't overwork yourself too much rika!!!
heartshots: (Lyrical School)

[personal profile] heartshots 2023-03-12 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Cousins would be great!! I came here like cousins? sisters? somehow something stranger?! but I wanted a happy family past for Rika bc she needs it...
accretive: (athy20)

[personal profile] accretive 2023-03-12 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
cute!!!

if you want, they can be cousins who are as close as sisters? athy's family past wasn't so great before, so they can maybe bond over that

so izuku is hibiki's younger cousin so she probably would know him?

wanders here - maybe...ao3 writer connection? izuku does a lot of nerdy shit like running a blog with in depth character analysis for any shows/etc he watches or anything he reads...he also writes fanfiction himself I think! he's also pretty kind and willing to put up with bad personalities lmfao.
