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.

oof. Anime and anime-adjacent media loves the super-competent teenagers trope, too. I'm sure it seems really cool to a younger audience but as an adult it's just like 'oh what oh geez that's bad'

Cal wouldn't say a peep about his status even to other metas, since he's hiding from the Jedi's enemies more than anything, but he's also the type to drop everything to help or save someone. I'm anticipating him outing himself pretty fast, and if he thinks the NSO has a good cause and/or is a safer place for him he wouldn't hesitate to sign up.

ahaaha yeah RWBY has its flaws in that department for sure, but it's certainly Anime As Fuck so I love it all the same. it's nice to be able to trim down some of the b.s. (and replace it with setting-appropriate b.s.) in AUs. focus on the important character development the show couldn't give me, and so on.

but yeah! that's good stuff to know. I saw the TDM comment but I'm dead tired so I'll give it a better read tomorrow for a reply (unless you see and find anything better on Yang's prompts, I'm good either way) :B

That's definitely one good reason to love AUs! Being able to play out similar-but-different character development and new dynamics is the fun stuff.

And that's no problem!
