The Multiverse and/or The Alternate Universe 

 

These are some of my favourite things to play around with every now and then,  and what it really boils down to is a bunch of what ifs.  The concept of this for characters and stories and characters have been floating around for a long time,  an example of this would be with Marvel's Spider-man.  This could also be played as a sort of split in time line;  was there a big decision that your character have to make?  What if they chose a different option?

 

So why think about making an AU?
It can get you thinking about what your characters would do if they were placed in a different setting, or if they chose to do something different in their life journey.   Would your characters act the same or differently if their original ambitions where changed?  If one character's life changed,  how would this effect other characters? This can help give you different ideas to play around with, without having to mess around with your character's actual canon.   And who knows,  you might like the idea enough to make it canon or to use for a new character!!

 

What would be examples of an AU?
A few ideas you could play around with is,  What if your character is now a villainous type?   What if a major event in their life went differently?  or What if that major event never happen?   What if they placed in a modern/future/medieval/ect. time setting?  What if they were a different species?  or gender? 

 

 

Some examples using my character  Zeke

For a villainous type, we have Vampire Zeke.   Where everything in his life has went the same as normal canon,  but having the unfortunate thing happening where a Vampric Blue Space entity take over his body.   At this point he could have become a whole new character,   being a monster striped of his 'humanity'   He's a lot more careless, messy, and dramatic.   He's just floating around being 'evil' trying to look good.  Due to being in a relationship while this happened would have ruin it, or at least made his partner want to try and save him

 

Having gone down a different path +Villainous type, we have (traitor) Agent Zeke where the majority of his backstory is the same.  However, when learning the truth or full story of the events of his parents death and the rest of the members of that mission, he grew a hatred of Nanotrasen.  hating how NT seemed to play a huge role in his life,  he no longer wanted to have anything to due with it which lead him to join the syndicate.   In this case,  a lot of things that had happen on stations would no longer be valid,  Not having long ass tendrils,  no longer having the friends he did, and no lover being in any sort of romantic relationship. 

 

Lastly  different setting +different species,  Padawan Zeke  because who doesn't like Star Wars.   Which has been an interesting setting,  taking a very emotional character who really seek to have love and affection and in a setting with a role where he would have to suppressed these sorts of feelings to be a Jedi.  He's a very flustered boi.

 

 

•This was fun to do up,  and I'd love to hear about other people's AUs!•   ^-^
