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!

LET'S ABSOLUTELY DOUBLE CR and this is exactly what rin's relationship with her canon sister is, so funny, she'll be like "wow feels familiar" lkahdsflkahsdfasdf. rin was probably still a brat and headstrong child who would drag ruby around with her so they didn't have to do boring stuff, but then when her family crashed and burned rin just said "bye!" and stopped interacting with snooty stuff entirely.....

but she'll still say hi and be distant i'm losing it,

i know he has a happy family with mithos as a brother but like, i didn't know if he was going to maintain a hobo look or lifestyle while OFF because of his canon point

that's so cute. in this AU, she will also do nothing but wish for his success and happiness. she'll be his cheerleader!!!

CUTE OKAY SHAKES HANDS FASTLY

she will read his.. bloody novels............... with some trepidation but will do it for her friends because that's what friendship is about!! her tastes are pretty normal. NYT best sellers, hugo award winners, etc. maybe a romance.

oh my god i didn't even think of that re: the rin & sakura dynamic STOP WHY IS RUBY ACTUALLY WEIRDLY SIMILAR TO SAKURA......

good tho. AU ruby would have been so miserable about rin leaving her behind in Rich People Hell but was too cynical and anxious and self-loathing to reach out on her own and try to continue the relationship so she just resigned herself to it..... real ruby realising she has new abandonment issues on top of all her existing ones and just being like yeah that seems about right
