Plot Post: Alternate Universe Swap

The Manor is itself; everyone is returned to normal size. The weather outside is chilly, but otherwise pleasant, with clear skies and only light breezes; there might be a light dusting of snow here and there. The creatures of the forest are sticking to the forest, and the squirrels have apparently gone into hibernation in the attic for a while.

However, you might not be waking up quite yourself.

This is a plot where it's MUN-option whether your character is affected or not; if you don't want to swap for an AU, you can bounce off other people who have just fine!

Anyone who is affected will be themselves from some alternate universe version. As mentioned in the spoiler post, there's a big range of valid possible AU's:
*Post-canon "What If" - any length of time after canon, how would things turn out for your character?

*Alternate Timelines: Something went differently in the character's past, whether a minor or major event, that changed how things went, which could be just about any "what if" sort of scenario.

*Genderswap/species swap: Your character was born a girl if a guy, or a guy if a girl; or, in world with more than one race, wasn't born human/whatever they are, etc.

*Alignment/role swaps: A "protagonist" character ends up on the other side, or vice versa; morality flops, someone without powers born with them, someone with powers born without, etc.

*Canon swaps: Pick another canon you're familiar with, what would the character be like if they were from that world instead?

*Genre Swaps: High fantasy AU, sci-fi AU, high school AU, etc.

Pretty much the only thing that'd be "off-limits" is de-aging within their existing timeline; just about anything else is valid!

Memories of the manor are optional within a range. They can be as if the AU self were brought in cold, have dim memories (enough to get around and not need the newbie lecture), or have full memories and possibly some confusion over their "other self". They won't remember anything outside of the Manor of their normal self, whichever option is taken.

Powers are meddled with freely as per the AU, with the usual limits - you can't completely nuke the Manor or get anything that takes you outside of it, etc.. - feel free to ask any questions here or on the spoiler post, or ping the Blast/one of us in AIM!
