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!

PINOCCHIO | DIMENSION 20: NEVERAFTER
Player Contact: PMs/
Character Name: Pinocchio
Canon: Dimension 20: Neverafter
AU Occupation: he's a child, he's in school :\
AU Background: I have not thought particularly hard about this part because when you're but a wee lad there's only so much backstory you can have.
I'm having him be an orphan in the foster care system. No one knows who his real parents are or how he came to be, he's still a wooden puppet in Crane City 8( What a mystery! He's definitely gotten a history of acting up and has disappeared more than once, having to be rescued out of less-than-ideal situations. Perhaps he literally ran away to join the circus at some point ala his "I'VE GOT NO STRINGS~" phase, perhaps there was an equivalent of Toy Island...unsure what that could be without going darker than i'm willing to, but anyway
he's a little punk in canon and he's a little punk in the AU. He's bounced around from home to home and now he's just kicking it at Dodo house, I guess? He tries sometimes in school and other times he just gives up in frustration. Pretty average student, most likely the class clown, runs amok in the streets, will endure no supervision.
Don't worry you're not responsible for him, just fish him out of a manhole if he's fallen down one and be on your way.
Looking For: NO PARENTS, sorry. But he will take casual mentor types! Pinocchio will materialize by your ankles and expect to be entertained, or maybe he'll just fucking torment you if you're bullyable.
- FRIENDS. I know he is a baby next to y'all but his regular friend group is multi-gen, he's game to level with you. Also he's quite sweet if you get to know him
- OTHER MISCREANTS. Let's get into some shit, were you someone that led him astray before? it's very easy to do, he's dumb and devious
- ??? I'm really just here to wing it fellas.
