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!

scaramouche | genshin impact
Canon: Genshin Impact
AU Occupation: Recently graduated nurse at the same hospital Matsui works (worked????? his ass is probably long since fired) at because i'm committing to the bit and having any character i app here work at the same hospital
AU Background: SHOWS UP WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER AND STILL PUTS NO THOUGHT INTO AU
• Estranged from his family and does not talk about them! What did they do? What were they like?? A mystery.
• Not a local and a relatively recent transplant. Where did he come from?? Also a mystery, damn.
• Has extremely mixed reviews at his job because he has terrible bedside manners but is like the most efficient worker at any given time.
• i want him to have some weird side gig because i think it'd be funny, like he just moonlights as an extremely popular banksy type graffiti artist or anonymous slam poet or something
Looking For: THE USUAL BLANKET I'M GAME FOR ANYTHING. more specifically:
• PATIENTS?? who's leaving him 1 star reviews on yelp
• Coworkers/students he may have crammed with and lived that exhausted nurse life with
• Distant relatives?? Some Family Is Okay Maybe
• Friends! Penpals! Childhood buddies! Past flames?! Give him social connections for once in his sad, sad little life.
• Let's form a roving raccoon huddle of miscreant graffiti artists
re: reacting to au memories, scaramouche will largely be ignoring his! those are fake! get them out of his head! bye!! but he's at least somewhat susceptible to treating people differently depending on their au history and i'm totally down for playing around with this and seeing what happens

kaveh probably gets sick a lot because he can't not overwork himself (and also he drinks too much) so I think it would be funny if they see each other a lot and hate each other but also kaveh is a huge fan of his artist work and doesn't know it's him
