AUs

These are what-if scenarios based on alternative timelines or even whole other worlds. Arguably every entry made by competitors is an AU of the core concept, but these are the ones that have several members contributing to the setting through chatter, drawings, and even stories.

Bongo's Creations AU
Often considered a Bad End AU. Baldwyn Hastings has escaped his confines, repaired himself, and began a rampage to expand his 'family' through kidnapping contestants and other various citizens of the cabaret. His way of converting them into marionettes is different than Ana's. Surface level they tend to have more red hues in their designs as well as mechanical parts and red stitching over scars. Under the surface, they tend to retain more personalities and agency, but they are susceptible to total control with his cane.

Civil War Sub AU
Bongo and Ana are both gathering their own marionettes in an attempt to take one another out and regain control of the cabaret.

College AU
Everyone in Enccore have been placed in the setting of a college campus. Judges, competitors, and NPCs take the part of students, teachers, and other college staff.

Loop Sub AU
This world is in a constant loop, time restarting once graduation arrives. Everyone is thrown back to the beginning of college with no memories of the past few years save for a select few.

Beach Episode
Anime beach episode tropes bingo.

Halloween Party Episode
The college is hosting a Halloween party and everyone is in costume and having a good time! But oh no, as the night goes on everyone turns into what they had dressed up as for real!

Opposite AU
Character's personalities and traits have done a 180, leaving them very different people with very different interactions. Reversals can include personality types, gender, and even color pallets.

Toymaker's Children AU
Toymaker has taken it upon himself to convert the loser competitors into golems before they can be taken and converted into marionettes. He can only do this to one competitor at a time, leaving groups of two with the unfortunate fate of only one surviving to be converted. Becoming a golem causes one to lose their memories.
