Recently made this Hate soul named Hysteria, a fanon ( canon? Not sure, I'm just sitting here hdhdhdndh ) soul that was also created by Wysh and the Architect. [ Which belong to @agdreamtale ]
Kind of wanted to throw these pieces here before I made a full on bio for them 👀
Ailani’s death runs like a thread through all her AUs.
In most timelines, she dies at the exact same time. Same day, same hour. The first moment of dawn on the day before her twenty-seventh birthday.
If the AU diverges too far from her canon, her death arrives earlier. Punishment for straying too far from reality.
In turn, her death is always carried about by Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. The only exception to this rule is the Stasis AU, where she is killed by Grand Admiral Thrawn. However, Thrawn is only in power due to Anakin’s execution of the Emperor. The thread is weak, but runs like blood.
However, the one factor of Ailani’s death that never, ever changes is the moment right before it arrives.
Ailani is always surprised. Always.
She’s always distracted for a mere moment by Wolffe’s voice or the mere thought/mention of him, and she is shocked when death instantly follows.
One of the benefits of making your school AU specifically a university AU is that there are so many ways to justify a particular character seemingly always being on campus which don't require them to be a student or teacher. "Middle-aged alumnus who hasn't taken a class in decades but still hits the student cafeteria every day because they live nearby and it's cheaper than fast food" isn't merely plausible, I literally knew that guy.
I wanted to organize all of Ailani’s aus in one place, so if anyone wanted, it would be easier to follow along.
Eventually I’ll add the updated character designs, but for now, hopefully these posts can help you work through Ailani’s lore.
First I wanted to start by linking some “ground work” posts. These posts linked below aren’t assorted with a single au, and are more about all of Ailani’s aus as a whole:
Just in case you aren’t all aware. This isn’t fucking normal. This doesn’t happen. This is climate change causing extreme weather events to happen more frequently and with more power.
