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!

dokja is a big lover of stories so who do i have to murder to get him into this book club
no subject
help imagine THE READER not being part of this cute book club, but yes!!! he can somehow be part of this book club. maybe she met him at one of his very many jobs, and it hit off from there.
puts twsa on the book club docket! does twsa even exist in this world? i'm forcing danu/nuna's hands (no i'll ask)
you made him poor again so i can't even be like he could be a big brother figure to her growing up before he moved away or something because every time i think about how good kdj is to children i cry
no subject
but help i'm so glad.... he works at the library mostly as a part-time job so maybe she SNIPED HIM THERE!!!
also i can't believe this suggestion you are asking dokja to never shut up if twsa manifests in this world
ALSO ALSO look..... maybe they could have met when they were much younger... maybe he wasn't so poor back then and maybe dokja was a good role model to athy for a brief time before he moved away and LOST ALL OF HIS MEMORIES.... 🥺
no subject
i asked on the faq, so we'll find out how insufferable kdj can be soon.
help i forgot you make him have kdrama amnesia despite knowing he had a full kdrama background, but that's fine!!! athy is used to people forgetting her. what's new!! that's all his affection amounted to........
no subject
mods said twsa can manifest
no subject
AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS...... i mercifully grant athy one ear she can hear out of because the other one is going to get itself talked off 😠i hope she likes boring novels with over 3000 chapters
no subject
she'll keep her thoughts about his taste in novels and characters to herself but she will listen to him go on and on and appreciate that it's something that makes him happy(?)
i think it's neat that kdj has a novel that saved his life(?) and athy has a novel that ruined hers
no subject
and i pluck athy from her novel and beat back all the troublesome men tch...
but seriously bless u for this ara i'm so excited to see where this goes
