sw au concepts:

no matter what timeline, paul is the son of a duke, who may or may not be force-sensitive, and his mother is a nightsister. he was born on the planet caladan, which is in the mid-rim territories.

high republic

there is a jedi prophecy regarding him, but it doesn't name him directly, yet when he joins the order it becomes clear that the prophecy was about him.

paul is a jedi during the high republic era. he came to the order older than most, but still fairly young.

before joining the order, his mother had trained him in the ways of the nightsisters, which provided him with a skillset different from his peers.

as a youngling, paul displays abilities that are above average for his status. his connection with the force and his fighting are unmatched by his peers.

paul eventually becomes the padawan of dagan gera (@d4gangera) and trains under him.

similar to d.une canon, paul still experiences visions of the future, but they are tied to the cosmic force and these visions are precise which makes him both feared and respected in the order.

however, even with his connection to his master, paul still feels extremely isolated from those around him due to visions and the ability to see multiple timelines.

galactic republic / empire

one outcome: paul is force-sensitive, but instead of joining the jedi order, he is trained by his mother in the ways of the nightsisters.

second outcome: paul is still trained by his mother in the ways of the nightsisters, but joins the jedi order.

if paul doesn't join the jedi order, he becomes a senator representing his home planet.

one outcome: if paul joins the jedi order, he leaves it before anakin starts killing younglings and escapes to either tatooine, or arrakis.

second outcome: paul falls to the dark side and either surpasses anakin with his abilities or is second to him.

outcome one: if paul is a senator, when the empire falls, he ends up a rebel leader and fights against the empire.

second outcome: as a senator, paul shifts his loyalties to the new order and is part of the imperial ruling council.

regardless of what he does, paul still has connections with the force and as a result, he still has visions.

okay, basic concepts for star wars sequels au:

keep in mind, these ideas are just ideas and i will not limit myself to these things. also i haven't seen the movies in years, so i'm playing off what i remember and pushing my way through with the rest.

paul comes from a powerful bloodline of jedi on the atreides side and the descendants of the nightsisters on his mother's side.

paul made the choice to join the first order both as a political move and a chance to rise in power. as a result, he respects snoke, but also believes he has the power to be stronger than him.

he never directly sided with the light or the dark side, but before joining the first order, he was more inclined to be on the light side. however, after joining the first order, he shifted his loyalty toward the dark side because it seemed to be the only way forward.

he rose through the ranks in the first order with ease and eventually took on the title of supreme leader by taking the title from snoke through questionable means.

some basic concepts for my arcane au:

i'll find a way to work in some core elements of paul's character, such as his prophetic dreams. right now, these are concepts and keep in mind that i am not limiting myself to these ideas alone. i am mostly focusing on the show, both seasons, but i might tie in some league lore here and there.

paul was born and raised in piltover and is the oldest child from house atreides.

his mother, jessica, is from zaun. she made a life for herself in piltover only through her marriage to leto, but she is still not openly accepted by the people of piltover.

his father, leto, is/was a member of the council and the patriarch of house atreides. similar to house kiramnman, house atreides is one of the oldest houses and is well-respected throughout piltover.

the atreides built their legacy through generations of hard work, successful trade, strong leadership, and extensive dedication to making the city a better place for all. they are also known for providing aid to the citizens of zaun, which earns them additional respect, but also causes tension with others.

paul is a student at the university of piltover. he is drawn to both the scientific and magic sides of things and wants to find a way to work with both.

okay, some ideas for my thg au.

paul comes from district 1, he was born into a well-off family. his father was from district 1 before it was district 1, but his mother was from somewhere else. she doesn't talk about where she is from and has made many believe she is from district 1.

they left district 1 and moved to the capitol as his father gained more popularity and in good graces with the higher-ups in the capitol.

paul was trained by duncan and gurney, both peacekeepers who also work alongside paul's father. continuing on this idea, paul doesn't know much about what work his father does within the capitol, but he knows his father has a small following that sometimes puts his family in the spotlight.

paul has a vast knowledge of various subject matters, which he puts to use as a gamemaker. he is known for being brutal with the concepts he puts into his games, but his brutality isn't meant to be viewed as cruelty. paul simply believes he is doing well by making the games more enjoyable for the viewers.

fallout au concepts:

it is important to note for this verse that paul was not alive when the bombs dropped in 2077. however, timelines can be shifted to fit both the show and the games. take the years i post with a grain of salt and just know they are points of reference, but don't have to be used.

paul was born in vault 15. he only lived there for the first 18 years of his life before the vault opened in 2097.

when the vault opened, paul, like many other dwellers, left to explore the new world.

in his exploration, paul almost joins the brotherhood, but finds their lifestyle too restrictive for his liking though he does follow them for a while as a means to be safe until he feels comfortable enough to go on his own again.

arcane au. Lucy has made quite a name for herself in Zaun, currently running the Undercity's largest fighting ring and casino.

In this verse, Lucy never knew her parents. Both of them were locked up by Piltover enforcers soon after she was born. Left for dead, she joined up with other Zaunite orphans to try and scrap together a living.

In a stroke of luck, she ends up as the errand girl for Margot, one of Zaun's most influential Chem-Barons. During this stint, she tries to learn all she can about persuasion, manipulation, and poison from her streetwise boss.

In this verse, Lucy has killed multiple times while defending Margot from the numerous hits placed upon her by rivals. Despite the frequent danger and countless close calls (even with the Grey), Lucy never seems to die.

A chance trip to one of Topside's glitzy gambling halls proves inspiring, and after years in the 'game' as Margot's bodyguard, Lucky Lucy finally decides to take a chance on a venture of her own: a casino for Zaunite revelry. She immediately hits the jackpot, and--after cutting everyone else out of the deal in a ruthless power play--becomes the gambling property's sole owner.

While she dabbles in some casual 'alchemy,' Lucy makes a point to stay out of the shimmer game. She's seen what it can do--as well as its consequences.

To this day, Lucy remains a well-known force in the Undercity--and her fighting ring expansion has become its own successful enterprise (Even Vi fought there.) She takes care of her own, especially the youth, but cross Lucy at your own risk--in the end, Zaun's Lady Luck is always the one left smiling.
