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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character Name: tsurumaru kuninaga (info)
Canon: touken ranbu
AU Occupation: bakery owner
AU Background: uhhh i do not remember anything that was in my original comment. anyway i decided that he runs a bakery but he puts surprises in the goods and you never know if you're eating a regular chocolate chip cookie or something with chilis in it. it's terrible but really popular on social media and the youths!!!

he just sort of showed up in town one day randomly and bought the bakery building and it was just seemingly there, and whenever you ask him where he's originally from he will tell you something completely different each time. but the truth is that he ran away from a religious background where he was a very terrible catholic.... or something.... i guess

Looking For:
🗡 customers!!!! maybe people who worked there? idk
🗡 friends.... whether you met here or the au says you actually knew him from before
🗡 exes..... debatable, you shouldn't date tsuru.
🗡 his thing is that he likes to surprise people so honestly. victims of practical jokes would be great. he's really annoying
🗡 LITERALLY ANYTHING I KNOW THIS IS A COPOUT ANSWER BUT weeps

in general, tsuru will play along with the fake memories simply because he thinks the concept is fucking hilarious, but he won't think too deeply about them since he knows they're not real.

hi i'm going to attack you with both and i'm terrible at AUs, but I'm going to say Pinocchio is 100% a loyal customer, give him all the sugar

fukawa...can be a joke victim

torment her

PINOCCHIO 🥺 thank you for keeping small businesses alive

fukawa doesn't deserve this............... i mean she does but she doesn't............... he will still do it

she absolutely deserves this don't lie to yourself

but yeah i figure pinocchio is also a little shitheel, he would be endlessly entertained by tsuru's pranks/want to participate too.

i just support women

i'm so glad tho... pinocchio you are a good boy (?) (not canon familiar enough to know for sure)

some women don't deserve support, looks at elisabeth holmes

AND PINOCCHIO IS THE BEST BOY AT HEART but he's also stupid and mischievous and impulsive as hell. So both good and bad.

YJH KNOWS HIM HIS FACE WAS USED AS A PB FOR A KENOS NPC

oh shit my paid

i think it would be funny if yjh is a spiteful loyal customer and he only comes by because he is so angry about tsuru surprising him, it is a test to be less surprised... i do mean this in au

SFSFKSJF HE JUST FUCKING CHANNELS KENOS MEMORIES

this is so funny tho. yes. hands him a muffin

i just converge all my yjhs into one and he remembers chasma tsuru, crau 2 tsuru, kenos not!tsuru, tsuru from matsui's memshare from kenos, the real sword itself from orv these are too many birds

angrily pays for the muffin..............

this just makes it sound like tsuru is haunting yjh........

IS THERE NO MUFFIN EMOTE

it seems that way

there's cupcake?? 🧁
