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!

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

playing on a couple things you mentioned, what if they dated in like......... middle school after she asked him to go out with her, and it was kinda cute actually—but they broke up messily (loudly, in the school hallway) triggered by him offhandedly implying her poetry she keeps giving him sucks
now working in the coffee shop he just kind of lets her have her little space to write because he still feels kind of bad about what he said all these years later, but it doesn't stop him from acting annoyed about it.
