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!

Roland in the AU is that one (1) friendly neighbor and a working adult! I'm not sure where their paths in life would have crossed, but I'm down for anything, be it long-term or in passing. The sky is our limit . . . We can be as sensible or as wild as you'd like. Alas, he would not hate her and be as nice as humanly possible to her instead.

I was looking at your post as well and wondering where best to slot her in, taps chin...My first thought is maybe she was touring his campus and either he's the guide or she got lost and they wound up walking around for a bit before they found the group again, but that's possibly too mundane. Where is he volunteering, could be an opening there!
Or! She could absolutely have ran him over the one and only time she tried riding a bike, and they have to sit awkwardly in the ER together for hours
Or if you want the horrible half, if Roland knew someone who got mixed up in a bad money loan or was roped into something illicit himself, that'd put him in Syo's line of fire. She could have threatened him or his buddy at some point, or maybe he called the cops on her al;kjdsf;w
Anything grabbing your eye here, or did you whip up some more suggestions in the meantime?

You're so powerful, cranking this much out while my brain continues to shrivel into itself. I am selfish and want it all, but the idea of his calling the cops on her after a rando friend ran to him for protection is so funny. That buddy got chewed out afterward. Sitting awkwardly in the ER is funny, too, and he would've tried to cheer her up the whole time. Choices . . . Such wonderful choices.

But shfshgdgj I love this combo, he calls the cops on Syo without getting a good look at her, later is run over by Fukawa on a bike and they go to the ER together. He's now in her phone as "Roland Accident". Please don't sue her.
