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.

PLAYER: Nica
CHARACTER: Wei Wuxian
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi

AU NAME: N/A but I guess it would be more appropriate to be Ying Wei.
AU AGE: 20*

BLURB: Ok this is just in general, some of it may be asking too much since in canon a lot of things happend.

I'm going with the idea that he was a young prodigy from a notable family who ended up getting kicked out of school for fooling around. After some sort of event he got into some kind of technomancy. He would be a meta human, but I'm not sure exactly what his powers would be.

So while he was into a bunch of cyber stuff at one point, he ended up causing a whole lot of problems and making a whole lot of enemies, though he was just trying to do the right thing. Anyway, he got into some stuff involving saving consciousness digitally, and after some things got killed.

But wait, what do you mean he's dead?

So, 10 years after he died (when he was about 20) some dumb kid is like "I'm going to find that guy and bring him back and be awesome!" And does manage to find his hidden consciousness somewhere, somehow, and uploads him into his brain, but loses his own. So poor Wei Wuxian here wakes up 10 years in the future and in some strangers body.

Maybe he can end up a half student half teacher figure.

LOOKING FOR: Feed back and ideas yes! Family and friends and enemies would also be great.

Heeeeyyyyy how about an old friend (who might have helped arrange for his convenient return from the dead? ♥)

[noenvy]

Hello! I welcome said old friend~ (And he will never know how to feel about that, but, he benefited so, what can he say?)

No doubt many good memories from school.

[inquiryguqin]

Heeeeey, finally here. It's your not yet future boyfriend (who is also into technomancy).

Debating maybe something similar to canon, he'll be an old friend and classmate who remembers him? Wei Ying thought he doesn't like him because Lan Wangji is mean and ignoring him.

Somehow they meet again (maybe going to classes together) and just trying to reconnect. Of course, Lan Wangji won't recognize him unless there's a song or a specific event or memory that ties them together.

[noenvy]

I'm fine reimagining canon in this context.

I'm still working on how and why he died, but he will still be "posessing" Mo Xuanyu's body.

Maybe how he acts gives him away? Having a song would be good too. Maybe they run into each other out there and then is dragged back to the school?

[inquiryguqin]

It's an AU, so it can be reimagined basing on canon.

That would work! Lan Wangji really works hard on that song and he will slowly noticed how he acts and behave (no underage drinking!) Definitely run into each other and get dragged back to school. Given their ages, I'll say it's a university/college.

[noenvy]

There should be the Neo Sapien Organization.

I figure in the past Wei Wuxian was connected to a family that was under the Douman Zaibatsu organization. Went to an elite school, made friends, and then, did stuff and became enemy number 1 somehow. Researched a bunch of cybernetic stuff, then died in his 20s.

Maybe Lan Wangji's family could be related to a prestigious boarding school/university that they all went to?
