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.

question: does attempting to flirt with slash bribe the clerk up the chances of certain papers getting seen to first? Yang's just asking for a friend.

in all seriousness, Yang's been doing chores for and then later odd jobs with the NSO for about 8 years and is overly pleasant and friendly toward everyone that keeps the gears greased around the place. whether that comes off as just her being generally well-meaning or as a very directed interested in Rosemary is entirely up to you, but she would likely make at least (1) solid attempt at getting a date out of it in all that time depending on how long she's been around herself.

note: her getting shot down is absolutely encouraged, as is them having a go of it but things not working out at all. but Yang's still going to want to hang out around the desk and banter on while waiting on payroll / a parts order / work authorization / whatever mundane thing needs its t's crossed and i's dotted.

Well, maybe not first if there's something else really important. But all things being equal, flirting works. Prolly not bribery though. She's a fine, upstanding citizen!

I don't think Rosemary has been around super long, but maybe they've gone on like a date or two and decided it'd be better to just be kinda flirty friends?

it wouldn't have been serious bribery anyway. more like dropping off coffee orders from the nice place across the street sort of thing. y'know. since she was in the area anyway.

and honestly that kind of thing works good with her! Yang doesn't have to have committed to anything to be nice to someone, and likewise it wouldn't change the dynamic too much. it's honestly kind of refreshing if she can have someone to banter with here and there and know there's nothing deeper behind it. just a bit of fun up until she's booted out of the office for being a distraction. >.>
