Topic on Talk:Alternate

Howdy,

I'm posting here to gauge interest in an IRM being added to the community lore section of this page so all the different ideas/headcanons about what happens to players when alternated.

I envision it as being a mix of sharing the stories of specific Alt'd players and in-universe "reports" detailing all the ways we cope with the prospect of our beloved characters being launched off into a different reality 🥲

Let me know in the replies if this is something you'd be keen to contribute to! (Any character lore should be cross-posted to talk pages before being added here, ofc.

Oh that's so fun, I'd love to do an entry on the Shark Seattle heist, how Alaynabella Hollywood, Lenjamin Zhuge, and Wyatt Mason X got alternated.

I know there's a couple teams that have fleshed out the alternate universes some of their alts came from; that might be worth prodding at. There's also constructed duplicates/successors, players whose alts get pulled but whose originals are commonly lored as still being present, and the same player with a new metaphorical coat of paint. There's even the "different facet of the same universal constant" thing that is shared between, of all players, Math Velazquez and de-alternated Collins Melon.

So yeah I think there's a lot of potential for IRM here
