SOTF IN SPACE
Not to be confused with SOTF: Space.
- [+] Description
- The year is 20XX. Humanity's progress in technology has made leaps and bounds. The crown jewel? A space station floating between Earth and the Moon, known as the Silver Serenity. Called by many as the ultimate vacation destination, the space resort has it all; hotels, restaurants, casinos, from family friendly to nightlife, it's all here. There's even apartments available for those who don't want to leave.
Out of all the resorts, it's one of the most famous – and most expensive. It's a miracle our class of senior high school students get to go there for their end-of-year trip, whether they're from an equally expensive private school that could afford the trip, or a public school that won a lottery.
But it seems that all the signals humanity has been sending out to space has finally got an answer. Seeming to appear out of nowhere, a group a aliens have set there sights on Earth, and they want to send their own message back. To that end, they disguise themselves as human, take control over the Silver Serenity, and evacuate most other tourists using various excuses. The students are then given an ultimatum; kill each other until one is left alive, or the station will blow up.
The AU that I've put the most thought into (which isn't much), this AU came to me in a dream. For the most part, it really is just SOTF IN SPACE, but another Handler (Catche?) came up with an idea on how Danger Zones could work: when an area is designated a DZ, once the time limit to evacuate is up, the area detaches itself from the rest of the station and life support is turned off. To that end, collars aren't exactly in play here.
Can work for any time period but I'm gonna pick the '20's.

- The year is 1929. The Roaring 20's is at it's height, and the decadence and glamour seem neverending. So too is the seedy underworld sparked by the Prohibition, it's roots growing more and more each day. Almost everyone seems to have some sort of connection to the Mafia – or at least, almost all of our senior high school students.
See, the private school they attend has a bit of a reputation, and the reputation is that this school houses the children of various members of a well know Gang. From vaguely connected associates to the Don himself, even though there are a few students with their hands clean, it seems like everyone there has a relative involved in crime.
Now see, this Gang has bit of a rivalry with another Outfit. They don't like each other very much. And this Outfit here, they caught wind that all the kids of the Gang tend to attend this one fancy school. Now, they're not murderers, but what's stopping these kids from killing each other, given appropriate circumstances? That'll send a message, and all the better if there's a survivor; they could use an extra member.
This AU is basically the reverse of the Space one; instead of SOTF in the future, it's SOTF in the past! Again, there's not much variation to the rules. The main major changes would reflect on what technology was available at that time.
I'll update this post as I add more AU ideas.
