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!

i truly imagine family fraldarius (i am FORCING this on you) as having a number of cats (young felix kept bringing home stray kittens in his pockets and nobody can say no to him) and like one or two big dogs, like bernese mountain dogs or something, that just get bossed around by the cats.

i also chose bernese mountain dogs because they have a tragically short lifespan and i can see big bro getting spurred on by his love of animals and wanting to help them live long comfortable lives... ;_;

my cat lady self approves of all these alpha cats

but also that's so depressing, i hope felix is there watching eustace cry every time one of these dogs dies (even when he's an adult) because his squishy heart can't take it. sometimes men need to cry.

bangs gavel, thank you for this gift

it's fine, felix probably cried the most about the dogs because he's a soft squishy baby at heart? just later on in life he hid in his room instead of crying openly...

oh no they're going to be so cute as bros... itsuki has no rights

THE SLUT GENE damn i feel like i should have gone the slutty route too.....too late for that now
