Ever wanted to play your character as a student at Hogwarts, or in modern day? This meme is for you to get a chance to talk about / rp your characters in alternate universes!
How to play:

Who doesn't love crippling debt, stress ulcers, and living on ramen? This AU features your character living life on a college campus. Are they a student, or a professor? What subjects and degrees are they interested in? Any clubs? What's their reputation on campus? You're only limited by your student loans!
This is a general catchall for other forms of media. Your character, in the universe of any other fandom you can think of! What Harry Potter house would they be in? What would be their daemon? Would they be a tribute, a mentor, or a Capitolite in Panem, and what district would they hail from? What alien race from Mass Effect would they belong to? If it's a different canon, it's up for grabs here!
This is a very broad term for a very broad range of time periods and locations. Picture your character in regency-era England, the American wild west, or have your character be the next Highlander. Hell, you can have your character grab a disco ball and be a member of the 70s, if you want. Any time period is up for grabs! And don't be too worried about historical accuracy, it's a meme. Just blame it on Thedas. Or Anders.
The quintessential AU. There's a shop. It sells coffee. Your character is involved in this shop, some how. A barista, a customer, the starving musician they hired to play, or that weirdo in the corner that mutters about aliens. Just get your character inside the coffee shop somehow.
The final frontier! Space is the place and your character is a member of the galactic community. They can be on a ship headed to the frontier, set to pioneer mysterious alien worlds, carting around cargo from world to world, part of the military protecting these
adventurers, or nefarious space pirates, raiding these people to meet your own needs.
The world is dead! Whoops. Well, not entirely dead. Not out of lack of effort, though. Zombies or global warming or hordes of blood-thirsty nugs have caused civilization to decline, and your character is left squatting in the ruins of what once was. Are they alone, left in a struggling community, or even some kind of city? Just try not to break the world. Again.
Not the TV show. We're talking any kind of mythological creatures that you can imagine. Mermaids, centaurs, dryads, werewolves, vampires, your character can be any kind of fantastic creature you can imagine. Or alternatively, your character could be a normal person who hunts these mythological creatures, for whatever reason. Or even just a normal person who has found themselves suddenly friends with a dragon (go away, Hawke).
It's been a few years since Corypheus died. And you survived it! Horray! What does your character do now? This doesn't need to be strictly based on Fade Rift canon, if you want multiple options for how your character fares afterwards. It's an AU! Feel free to have them be married and have ten kids or the Empress of Orlais or whatever. Or just have them alive, if that's an AU in itself.
Your character, in DA:I proper! But there's a switch--Maybe they're the one who attended the conclave and fell out of the rift with an anchor attached to their hand. Or maybe it's their turn to be a companion, becoming one of the Inquisitor's inner circle. Mix up the roles and enjoy the spotlight--or stepping out of it.
Don't let me boss you around. You have an AU you want to play that I didn't suggest? Do it anyway! There's infinite universes out there, after all. Go crazy!
