JANUARY 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 i very much like the idea, i think if neph actually has ways to manage anxiety and memory problems then it would help stop levi from being left out in the cold when they started to manifest. i feel like even with their doctors they were probably kind of reluctant to talk about it when they were just starting to get used to their new life outside of their ivory tower. having someone they could've started getting help from who isn't in the medical field is a very good lifeline for them to have!

as for powers... yes, yes, absolutely. i kind of have it figured out that levi manages to ground themself every morning after they wake up, but there's definitely still some room for trial and error in how that actually works. i'm very, very into this, let's have them be friends and pseudo-siblings!!

Memory problems can be a little harder but she has a few things she does to help at least have info on hand that is important just in case. Anxiety she's definitely got a few things, though sometimes she has to run through them to find what will get something in particular under control.

Out of curiousity, how much is Levi capable of doing when it comes to lightning. I'm trying to nail down how much Neph's capable of grounding, though I figure she wouldn't get too hurt with Levi's stuff.

Yeees found family and friends are the best :D Especially when Neph doesn't know who/where her family is and so...kind of adopts people. Oops.

I thought I hit this! sorry!

Well, she doesn't have to usually be reminded to eat but uh if she's upset or pushing herself then yeah. She's bad at taking care of herself then.

Oh goodness yes. Strong Magical Hair Girls are go! And let's face it, Neph needs someone nearby who heals like Jess needs a tank nearby.

so levi's whole thing is like... it's their heart that's generating the electricity? so they can do kind of a lot of stuff, including your classic force lightning but also like very localized EMP bursts or whatever, but they don't want it to get to that point because the stronger the electricity they let out, the more it's been bouncing around inside them and damaging things. so they try to get all of this out on a regular enough basis that they don't blow stuff out around them (unless that's the goal) and also so they don't burn out their heart. basically they're not an all-powerful lightning god and they don't want to be that, so hopefully that helps?

can't believe levi's gonna have a big sis figure who's younger than them. i love this
