FEBRUARY AU WORKSHOP

Welcome to the AU Workshop! We understand adapting a character for an AU game can be a difficult process, even if you have all the creativity in the world, so we've put this together to help! Just fill out the form and post it in a comment below, and sort of brain out which ideas stick!

Keep in mind this is not a reserve. Reserves will open on the 3rd, as always, and you don't need to use this if you're already sure of your ideas! This is just a fun creative exercise that we hope you enjoy and find helpful!

Be sure to check out our Premise, FAQ, Locations, and NPC posts for worldbuilding info to help you get started!

Here's the form!<b>PLAYER:</b> <b>CHARACTER:</b> <b>CANON:</b> <b>AU NAME:</b> if the character's name is different, you can note so here! If not, feel free to put n/a <b>AU AGE:</b> same here! <b>BLURB:</b> Write a short description of your character's AU! Are they a Meta-human? If so, what are their powers? Are they a normal human? Do they have anything else unusual about them, such as cybernetic parts or other features? What's their background? Hobbies? Anything interesting you want to say! <b>LOOKING FOR:</b> Are you looking for family members or friends or enemies for your character to be pre-planned? Or are you asking for ideas or feedback on your AU idea? Anything goes, just specify what you would like. <b>OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:</b> Are you torn between which character to app? Let us help! Post your ideas in a comment and let fellow players offer feedback and CR ideas. You can also use this section to ask for canonmates you would like to see in-game whether it be in your specific AU or for different CR.

Oh? Do tell!

OCs would be fun, too. The more the merrier, honestly!

Jun Gungjeon was my character in a Tabletop RPG campaign I played that was loosely based on the manhwa "Tower of God". In this game, rather than designing my own character, I had a friend of mine design the character and write his backstory on the understanding that when the game started, the character would have complete amnesia of his past, and that I wouldn't KNOW his past so as to stay perfectly in character. It was an absolute blast to discover my character's convoluted backstory and if you like tabletop games I cannot recommend this enough.

Anyways, Jun was the heir of a powerful noble family who's head had been secretly downloading his own mind into his chosen heir by way of an artifact known as the Walking Crown to thwart mortality for centuries as he grew in power. Jun and his twin sister Eunseo were fighting for the title of heir, not knowing that the winner would have their mind erased by an immortal lich. When Eunseo was declared heir, Jun got mad and killed her, only to then discover the truth. He tried to kill his father/ancestor, failed, stole the Walking Crown, and went into hiding. That was when he met a devil that offered to make it so no one could ever find the crown again. Jun accepted, only to have all his memories erased, so that no one, not even Jun himself, knew where it was hidden.

And that's where the game started, with Jun standing in the middle of a clearing in the woods with no idea who he was or how he got there.

I do like tabletop games! This sounds like a really fun way to run a character in a game. I'll have to try it out.

Jun sounds like a really interesting character and I can see how his story would be tempting to adapt to this AU. The minduploading/downloading thing would work in interesting ways here, I think. I do wonder how WWX would get along with him...

[anoceanofatma]

He was very driven and angry and impatient and he took precisely zero shit from anyone else so if WWX would get along with someone like that then maybe!
