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!

- Toko meets looks mister looks like Byakuya and is stonking rich like Byakuya but is soft and friendly like an adorable golden retriever DON'T BE MEAN. *except do because my special caveat is he actually can get very petty and indignant and sharp-tongued but only after he's bullied a lot.
- maybe he can be disgusting and be positive and cheerlead her anyway depending on how cr goes
- consider also Brick's best galpal is a psychopath in canon so he also normalizes women's wrongs—good for him. Coffee dates? FORCED SPA DATE?
- Syo meets him while in the middle of a Financial Transaction and maybe there's a case of mistaken identity and misunderstandings Who Owes Money To Whom andor an easy opportunity to pilfer a Fat Wallet for a loan shark enforcer...?
no subject
but no i would love for them to become best friends somehow, it could be a really cute dynamic i think! i know she's difficult but he is both genki and crazy enough to break through
also re: Syo LMF YES, did we still want to go with what Sra proposed and have Vash save Bricks from a narrow skewering? This can all be in the past so they have a weird reunion in game, fake memories do be a bitch
no subject
YEAH I'M GAME FOR THAT I feel like Syo would not be the first or last thing Vash saves Bricks from either way! Definitely gives added impetus for him to be like madam why are you like this
