This AU takes place in a world where the toys are actually the people (no humans). While there are many sub groups of toys, there are two main factions that separate the tech from the “normal” toys.
The “tech” toys have their own massive, ever expanding city ruled by company CEOs and an extremely competitive economy as technology continues to rapidly evolve. Some tech toys are considered redundant only after a few years of existing due to constant hardware updates.
While tech toys are relegated to the city, everyone else has much more variety and access to the world. Woody and company live on a massive prairie where he and his sister run a ranch. Tech toys are hardly ever seen in these parts, so when a fugitive from the tech world arrives, it causes a huge stir (Buzz Lightyear woah).
Buzz has since integrated with the people of the prairie and formed a close bond with Jessie, but, suddenly disappeared without a trace. Fliers are spread thoughout the old world with no responses. Jessie realizes that perhaps Buzz has gotten lost (or worse, taken) past no man’s land into Tech City.
Lilypad is the current CEO and lead of “Eggman Technology”. Unlike in canon she is much more ruthless and cruel here. Particularly to the older model toys that belong to the same company (Ex: Smarty, Snappy, and Atlas). She is invested in creating a technological revolution, expanding Tech City into the greater world. Much to the dismay of “normies” (non-tech toys).
Jessie is also a little different in this AU. She still has the abandonment issues, but she is also very hard-headed and stubborn in this universe. Her pre-disposition about tech toys prevents her from seeking any help from the inside until she was left with no choice. She often uses threats to get her way and is not afraid of anyone.
Smarty and the Tech Trio being part of the Eggman company, the three of them have known each other since they came online. Atlas is a taxi driver in the bustling city, Snappy is a struggling photographer and marketing manager, and Smarty is a “hygiene instructor” (whatever that means). The three of them often hang out and try to take their minds off of the many company members suddenly disappearing.
“Sticky” sticky hand is a mute being who is attached to Smartys handle. Despite not being a tech toy, their presence is largely ignored by the city folk. This is because they are usually seen as an extension of Smarty and not a person. Being unable to speak, they act as shoulder to lean on for Jess and Smarty. There is a secretive energy about them despite no one knowing of their past.
Not really a complete concept. I liked the idea of a world ruled by toy people.
