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!

So Hibiki works as a substitute teacher, so I would be down for him being one of her students. She's also a big runner, and I think it would be cute if they end up having similar routes. But really she'll probably see a lot of the works hard/workaholic tendencies that she has in him, so get ready for her to worry a bit over him. Izuku, please take better care of yourself (says the hypocrite).

Or, if you're interested in the family angle, hers is pretty big. He could be a cousin or something! Which would give her even more reason to fuss over him.

Why not all three!! He could have had her sub before and gone running together whenever they cross routes and also, cousins. Because why not! They can circularly fuss over one another together?

I love this, yes I 100% endorse all of this. I would imagine he'd probably be related on her mom's side, since her step-dad is American. That side is a little smaller, but that would mean she probably knows him better than some of her other cousins. She probably has tons of cute pictures of him growing up, too. Are you ready for some secondhand embarrassment, Izuku? She promises she'll be good when she's working.

Something that might be fun as the game develops as well, Hibiki will be coming in with about two decades of aikido training under her belt (as well as some pretty powerful wind powers under lock and key initially), but her body here is not well equipped for it. Cue training montages in the future?

He's too nice to protest the embarrassment...it's probably all pictures of him dressing up like a little superhero though! He has a one track mind sometimes.

Also, yes please!! Izuku is an expert in training montages for getting stronger. Just don't be like him and break your bones in the process, Hibiki.

Okay but the occasional cape and the super sentai poses are adorable. She probably dressed up with him too on occasion, because she's a total dork.

Breaking bones is never a concern. Possession on the other hand........

Possession...! Try not to get possessed, Hibiki!

Thankfully, that part of her is asleep (and will probably stay that way), but I can't guarantee that she won't get some fun canon update memories of her losing control. But it's fine. :')

But speaking of breaking bones, nope, not allowed. Izuku you're going to make her cry, do you really want that?

He does not...! And yet it might happen because he's Dumb! A dumb smart boy!

[ FUSSING INTENSIFIES ]

Also editing this because I could see her babysitting him from time to time too. They could make paper plate sentai masks and there's probably at least one picture of them posing with them on out there

Considering he canonically folded a newspaper into a samurai All Might hat and ran around in it as a kid...he's down for it!
