Basically a normal AU. What would your characters be doing if their upbringing/environment/etc were normal (ish), and whatever the stakes in your story were didn’t exist. With minimal changes to their personalities and backstory if possible, any get too removed from their current state lol

Kid would be your average little 8 year old boy that likes games a little too much. Would probably end up having an adhd diagnosis.
Hugo would grow up to be a B-list actor and probably play some minor secondary roles in your average Portuguese soap opera. A lonely but comfortable life.

Slinky would probably live with their parents and have a lower middle class life. Would probably run either a grocery store or work at an animal reserve.
Spoiler 1 would be a generic heir and become a stupider, gayer, and probably less insufferable but equally evil version of Elon musk.
Spoiler 2 would absolutely revolutionize whatever field of robotics or engineering he goes into.
If the spoilers met in this hypothetical, they would absolutely throw all of that away and eventually start a terrorist organization.

Alicia would still be being an artist. Divorce is a pretty normal childhood as is ending up in social services and being moved to the care of a relative, the only part of her life that would change if the circumstances of the plot hadn't happen would be that her bff wouldn't be paralyzed and would thusly still be being a brat, and they probably wouldn't be a couple now,

The world of Hushabye Prince is normal, but assuming the issues that make Jinwoo unable to live like most other people were gone, he would just be a artist semi-professionally, while probably working as a teacher as his main gig just like his father and sister do. His family life would be happier too, because his mother would have had the chance to live life, and would be less grouchy for that reason.

excuse me, no need to go trashing real people okay? that's not what this place is for

Baul would still be killing people as a Succubii and living with Isador who would be using the souls to inspire people as a muse. Gavin would be living his life, doing his job, and hanging out with his friends having no great direction in life.

Malik would probally never get close to lena, a boring life with no adventure, probally work a 9 to 5, like the world would be soooo boring....

Qam is pretty straightforward, if they weren't kidnapped by the Tazdahir they'd just grow up in a loving family and study to become a legit doctor. They'd have a strained relationship with their brother, who would be alive, and they'd spend a lot of time helping their mom out. They'd probably go outside their home planet to try and spread humanitarian aid, but they'd spend most of their life in the city they grew up in.

Rahat spent their whole life in the Tazdahir, so if they weren't abducted as a baby, they'd probably have a bit of an isolated childhood - their parents were researchers who bounced around different terraforming space stations. They probably would still be a competitive board game player but with a little less gambling, and they'd have two legs and a more rigid moral code (though they'd still be a bit wish-washy about it). They'd still love meteorology and geography, but they'd share that passion with their dad, who is also alive. Also, they'd probably be a researcher too and maybe cross paths with a certain medic...

Alya had it pretty rough as a kid. I think that if the Tazdahir didn't exist, then her home planet probably wouldn't be so impoverished, which means that her parents probably wouldn't have been as shit as they were. They'd still be a tech genius but struggle a lot with their identity and their family because they still treat them as disposable. Alya would always feel the need to prove themselves, but it would never be enough. Even though they'd lmake the most bonkers powerful tech ever and be damn near unstoppable.

Najm was a member of a clone race made to be slaves for a bloated tech 'utopia' without the Tazdahir this utopia wouldn't be in ruins, so they'd probably be bought into a family or company and then forced to do menial tasks until they die. If the tazdahir did exist but crumbled after destroying Mushuru, they would've lived out the rest of their life in a perpetual war with the remnants of their clone race. Maybe without the Tazdahir, Mushuru would've been rediscovered by a research outpost and they could've made a life outside the planet. In which case they'd be a chef.

Kai would probably never have been able to unlock All-Star and wouldn't have met the requirements to go through both the MS and HS Hero Courses. He probably would have just been a regular police officer.
Mikate never would have ended up in Starview and would still be working in some small city working with his dad in an electronics store.
Kyoge never would have stayed in A-Class and probably would have been some overly cocky jerk.
Super and Infinite never would have become teachers/mentors.
Zane would never have been inspired to upgrade his Tech.

I’m reading through these, and what kind of whackadoo backstories have y’all been giving your characters :sweat_smile:
Not that I’m one to talk though

Well if the plot of The Adventures of Zovhara Ashfrost never happened, Zov'ha would still be Captain of the Duskwatch in Asenya. Which means she'd be cleaning the streets of rebels and Asenya would still be struggling with a controlling government.

If the plot didn't happen in Trespasser, I imagine that the factory accident didn't occur.

Zack wouldn't have lost his arm and continued to live and work in Oasis.
Kyara too wouldn't abandon her city life and remain a SenSec officer.

I imagine Kyara and Zack would still end up together, but they would be living a far more boring and unfillfiling life in the city.

Sorry, I’m used to tumblr. You can basically say you want to skin Jeff bezos in there and nobody bats an eye

Well, technically my story begins after a tragedy (death of Teresa Tryon) so I'm thinking along the lines of "what if she never died?"
I guess Alec would still be his usual self, but maybe consider retiring early and letting someone else run TFC into the ground (maybe undergoes a rebrand to save it) Maybe sell eggs from the rescue to make a little extra income and help Teresa pay for the chicken-farm/rescue expenses and raising Angel (she still an absentee kid).
Luke would inevitably get a real job, maybe working with animals or at a grocery until he saves enough to move out and live his own life.
Aldi would be interning somewhere else, as an assistant or something.
Now, Friar--that's a tricky one. I guess lives a decent life in the recuse, maybe as the top pecker once Gallus "ages out". I think Bucky would still get rescued (by Teresa directly) and come to the coop, but I feel like Friar would actually not befriend him based on rank (backstory to be explained later)

I guess everyone would be content/okay, except maybe for Bucky ironically, who is my most innocent char atm.

...oh, and "that" prophecy wouldn't come true...(shameless baiting, lol)

I read that too quick and thought you were talking about Aldi the supermarket chain lol

That's actually where I got her name from XD
