comment with your character.
reply to others with picture prompts, starters, whatever you would like. for au idea inspiration, try this or this or this.
other popular au ideas: apocalypse au, arranged marriage au, celebrity au, coffee shop/florist au, college/high school au, crime/mafia au, fake dating/engaged/married au, fantasy au, game of thrones au, historical au, hunger games au, magic au, modern au, mythological au, reincarnation au, roommates/neighbors au, sex work (porn/camgirl/escort/stripper) au, sci-fi au, steampunk au, soulmate au, superhero au, supernatural au. go wild!

[ open to discussing AU options. fan of supernatural/magic/historical AUs. ]

[Basic gist: Largely faction-neutral Orion mercenary in her mid-thirties, can be adapted into most any Star Trek timeline point for ease of RP, flirty, easy to get along with, but extremely observant. Pilot, mercenary, ship captain. Also comes in various Starfleet AU flavors as desired.

Open to discussing AU's, but in addition to the Starfleet ones mentioned above, there's also at least a couple of Mirror Universe ones, or the fleeting idea that she's a Star Sapphire somehow. Or just dropping her wholesale into modern- esque canons, etc.

Otherwise, let's work something out!]

[ open to all sorts of different au permutations! hmu! ]

[Open to all kinds of Aus beside Mafia related stuff and college/high school aus if he has to be a student.

He's a cookie but I'm open to write him humanoid-like enough. Pretty much still voicetesting the old guy.]

[Some potential AUs I'm interested in (since his is basically urban fantasy fae) would be arranged marriage, futuristic space, fake dating, all the world is magical so he doesn't have to hide it, sex work, soulmate, supernatural, superhero. I'm up for the world knowing about magic, ala something along the lines of some urban fantasy books like Rachel Morgan, Kate Daniels, Mercy Thompson, Merry Gentry/Anita Blake. For sexwork stuff, I lean more towards him being a client, but I'd also be up for masked/glamoured hidden face fairy porn camboy/stripper dancer stuff. I'm happy to work out ideas in comments or private messages.]

( off the top of my head: surviving shibuya, arthurian legend - nanami as the devoted knight in tarnished armour, band verse, yakuza verse, cyberpunk a la altered carbon or blade runner, ex-lovers meeting again after years and years, and of course villain nanami. )

( au idea: polnareff is your weirdly buff knight/bodyguard/prince in shinning armor with a weird power aka his stand ability. alternatively, historical au where he's a man set on a journey to protect joan of arc, and you've been wrapped up in his shenanigans. )

( hear me out, thoughts on nanami being bruno's bodyguard/yakuza vibes, and discovering bruno's stand makes nanami think he has a cursed spirit/is one and he has to debate on killing his boss because of this?? if you're down, I'll cook up a starter. )

[ voicetesting. already an au, but into lots of canon or cross-fandom shenanigans like other superhero shows, high/low fantasy, sci fi, historical with a twist. major exception is sex work/smut scenarios. hmu here or pm to discuss things. ]

[ hi i love AUs please talk to me about any kind of AU!!! canon-adjacent, completely different universe, smashing canons together... in particular in the back of my mind has been fate AU or inception AU but i'm open to anything :3c ]

[ hi i love AUs please talk to me about any kind of AU!!! canon-adjacent, completely different universe, smashing canons together... he works with many kinds of magical canons, especially if there's some element of yearning or emotional magic casting, but i'm open to anything :3c ]

[I'm feeling giant robot bullshit right now, actually? But open to whatever.]

( literally aus are my favorite thing. vampires, werewolves, a/b/o, canon divergent, coffee shop, idk fucking buddy cop detectives, tattoo artist, SOULMATES, arranged marriage, etc etc. if you have an idea, we can probably make it work. my kingdom for ilya, but love canonmates and down for crosscanon adventures too! shipping will be m/m, but willing to play out failed m/f relationships or dual beards. )
