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!

Character Name: Yoo Joonghyuk
Canon: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

AU Occupation:
against his will,
✦ a model... that is being pressured into becoming
✧ an idol
✧ or an actor
✧ he streams in his free time using a vtube model. his 2D model is an animal crossing wolf.

AU Background:
✦ orphaned and a single child, joonghyuk got adopted by an elderly couple... they own a little diner where their specialty is tofu
✦ overall, he had... normal school?? life??? but on the weekends he would be working at his grandparents diner
✦ i heard you all are christian, so i'll make his grandparents to be christian. he's forced to go to sunday school and church now
✦ downsized to smaller house cause diner life doesn't give great money, so he did move to a different school district
✦ GETS SCOUTED. DOES MODELING FOR MONEY.
✦ sporadic attendance in university because of his weird work schedule, but he graduated. eventually.
✦ i forgot whatever plans i had with other people
✦ i'm giving him a dog, hobbies are very jock (gym, sports) and geek (videogames)
✧ what if i give him religious background a cult backstory where they're taking advantage of people's tithe and that's why his grandparents are poor and his money given to them is just being given to the cult

Looking For:

✦ rivals, though one-sided since joonghyuk is only here for money
✦ wouldn't celebrity pairs for publicity be funny
✦ schoolmates
✦ gymbros (that he will try his best to ignore)
✦ videogame friends.........

I WANT RUBY TO BE ONLINE VIDEO GAME FRIENDS WITH YJH i think it's really really funny if yjh & kdj are her only two actual AU friends but she's literally never met them irl or exchanged personal info and ruby's like "obviously that's the only reason we're friends and if i ever met them it would RUIN EVERYTHING"

HGLDFKHG CRYING real nightfell ruby like "WAIT THIS BASTARD???" and meanwhile her au memories are like "this is one of your only friends in the whole world and you would DIE FOR HIM but also you would rather die than have one single face to face conversation with him bc you're so scared he'll hate you" she just bluescreens the first time they run into each other.

but also she's going to be so relieved bc she was so nervous about being in the orv party without yjh laughs....... all three of yoohankim are necessary to balance out each other's insanity. do not separate them.

i made rika an idol so maybe they kinda know one another like that despite the age gap...also she will play videogames sometimes?? and pet a dog?? these are things she can do!!

(izuku might see him in the gym sometime...he's small but strong)

I THOUGHT I RESPNDED TO THIS... and i don't think that would be bad! he would technically be new and probably old for the career thing, but maybe she could hear that he is a Prospective talent, indecisive ultimately

pet a dog is good and videogames also good, i've decided to add that he is the letmesoloher version for crane city's elden ring this is his legacy in secret now

OH YEAH we are meant to have a date this game right if you play izuku. sorry i've been like taken out by rl this month but if you're game to hash something out they could have a fun friend hangout

as fun as this emotionally constipated dude can offer

LKLKGS DOn'T WORRY ABOUT IT SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN

talk about his streams to him even though they're secret and it's awkward for him to hear about it in third person. i also added stupid lore where he is the crane city equivalent of letmesoloher for elden ring... because i can.

imagine you come to tell me you've dropped him too and i'm just 🧍 why is life coming at me FAST! i'll def get to your tl later tonight or tomorrow!
