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!

HE'S SOOOOOO FUCKING STUPID buzen doesn't have the attention span for audio books either but i think he can get matsui to read to him sometimes so he'll know random chapters of their book club books (up until he fell asleep while matsui was reading)

also yes he will get paid to be athy's uber driver but once he realizes it's for volunteer work he immediately stops accepting payment bc she's just a good girl doing good things in the world and she needs safe transportation!!

HE DOESN'T. He can't embarrass his little brother like that. "What about himself?" Nobody cares.

rofan isekai handshake..... athy & ruby both like yeah this is normal, suddenly waking up in somebody else's life and having to piece all your relationships and history together

ARA I WANT THEM TO HAVE SOME KIND OF AU RELATIONSHIP SO BAD BUT RUBY CAN'T DO FRIENDSHIPS......... how much upper class mingling does her family do. maybe they used to hang out at social gatherings when athy was younger bc ruby likes kids more than adults, but now that athy's getting older ruby has started distancing herself for fear that athy will wind up disliking ruby the way everyone else inevitably does or that she'll drag athy's reputation down by being around her or [a long list of other reasons ruby is able to come up with]

ty kind reader

also sidebar but as she is officially Dimitri's half-sister and moved in with them about four years ago he is free to have encountered her at some point

what's worse, loving the fanfic of your midnight assailant or your best friend's sister

more seriously though this is possible, as the only trustworthy fremblem including her own brother, she will give Claude the immense privilege of perusing her rough drafts

also want to have a shenanigan like, idk, she got bullied too hard at school one day and skipped last period with Claude, who gallantly took her for chili cheese fries?

maybe that's how they met

okay i'm back, this is my last comment before bed please accept my lack of wit

POTENTIAL HUMOUROUS AU SCENARIOS

- he's her online nemesis, e-sports are for losers, fanfic supremacy
- once she had to take a seat on the dunking tank for a school fair and Felix either a) saved her from humiliation and took her place or b) threw the shot that knocked her in
- she constantly hoards a seat in his coffee shop and all the employees and patrons hate her but as she is Dimitri's sister, he regrettably must allow her to exist
- she caught him crying big baby tears when they were younger and to this day he fears she'll bribe him somehow
- a truck of mayonnaise collided with a truck of mustard while they were crossing the street one day and they got caught in a condiment tsunami
- they attend group therapy together
- the therapy is about the condiment crisis
- since this is scorched earth, they are bitter exes
- since this is scorched earth, they are currently dating


IDK MAN what were you thinking, i'm clearly open to all and sundry
