The Rule 63 Meme
Rule 63, also known as a genderswap or a fem AU, is the idea that any character can have a counterpart of the opposite gender. In essence they are the same person, they have an (almost) identical personality, but are instead the opposite sex of their original canon character. This can effect them in subtle but interesting ways, and figuring out what changes, what's different, and what has stayed exactly the same is the key to the fun!
While this is labeled as a Rule 63 meme, it's fine to bring it male versions of female characters. (as it seems as though rule 63 is defined as male to female swap) And don't be shy about tagging around, or hitting up a 63'd character even if yours is not. The idea is to have fun!
Below are some gen meme prompts to get you started, but you don't have to stick to them. c:
GO FORTH AND AU

⑪ I saw you → you saw the other person doing something bad and you need to confront them about it.

Idek something fluffy and BFF-y LET'S JUST DO THE CYBORG THING
AW YEAH BEST BROSIS'
Hey!
[Jo greets her cheerfully. She's in a good mood, so it's best to start the conversation that way!]
What's up?
no subject
Yes, she was acting just as needlessly dramatic as GB, but desperate times called for desperate measures.]
I'm booored.
There's nothing to do, no crises to handle and Bertie left me to go to the city.
[It was that last part that held the actual problem for the redhead. Her German almost never sent her away, but this time she'd been told explicitly that Alberta wanted to go alone, resulting in a very sad and misplaced American.
Obviously, as best friend, it was Jo's job to fix it.]
no subject
[And considering how attached her and Alberta where, Jo can understand why she's a little put off. Normalcy was something they all struggled with even after being a makeshift family for so long. So seeing as she's really not doing anything of consequence, she's more than happy to help.]
There's gotta be something to do...
[Jo sets her her book aside and moves so she's hanging upside down off the couch. Why? Because why not that's why.]
We could play some video games?
[though mario kart might just tear their relationship apart]
no subject
The thought of video games does seem to make her perk up a bit. That could be fun...]
Alright. Which video game?
[However, as she asks this, she reaches out to slip her hand under Jo's leg and lift in an attempt to spill the other teen off the couch.]
Ayumi Narukami | Persona 4 (fem AU) | OTA
Not even joking I rolled 2-20 without even trying, it just wanted this (also hi)
She'd failed, obviously; her game had to come to an end. It HAD been fun, it HAD been a great distraction from how much she hated everything, how unfair it was to her, but... how could she resist one last time, trying to get that cute, stupid little girl who claimed to be her friend, who hung out with her, whom she actually kind of looked out for and ate lunches with together? How could she help wanting her to see HER point of view? No one ever bothered asking how SHE felt about this shitty world.
(Some part of her felt a little guilty over Nanako getting hurt. That hadn't been her intent, but she was hollow; there was little with which left to care. That had been eaten up by the realities of her own personal hell long, long ago.)
Ayumi was... how to put it? So dangerously close to her, before she'd hit that... breaking point. Before the world crashed around her, and she found out just how shitty it was. That bright-eyed youngster focused on academics before she began realizing she wasn't cut out for her line of work and could only make local police. The failure her parents never forgave her for. ... Part of her wanted to see this girl utterly ruined. Maybe as broken as she was. On some level, surely, it would make her feel better. Wouldn't it?
So here they were.
She'd fled into the TV, leaving Ayumi with an ultimatum: come talk to her about what was happening and she MIGHT consider turning herself in. But she had to come alone. No friends. No weapons.
The entrance to Magatsu Inaba was... almost soothing. Almost. In a sort of twisted, hellish way. Yes... the world becoming nothing at all... it could be as empty as her. So she hid. And she waited. ]
the random number god looks favourably upon us today (how's it going)
[It would have been foolish to like it, of course, after what the Investigation Team had seen and done here. There was nothing but pain and bad memories for that part. But... sometimes (okay all the time) Ayumi remembers that this is the manifestation of someone's psyche. There is someone down here who, deep in her heart of hearts, really... wants this.]
[Adachi... well, Ayumi thought she understood the young detective, for what seemed like a long time. She was always being nice to the Team, dropping by for dinner, trying to be bitter and horrible to Nanako but never succeeding for too long. They had a thing going -- a very strange thing, but a thing nonetheless. Ayumi wanted to believe that the time they spent together was real, and not just another part of her delusion.]
[Ayumi wanted all of her friends to be happy. All of them. Including Touko Adachi.]
[The teenager stands at the very entrance of the dungeon, hands by her sides. They are empty. Ayumi doesn't plan to pull any tricks. If Adachi does... well, she'll jump that hurdle when she comes to it.]
[Still, she says nothing. Because either way, her friend will know.]
WHAT CAN I SAY it just wants me to be awful with her apparently (and make my journal meaningful)
Didn't want to die. The world surely owed her better, didn't it? Didn't it...? And yet... here she was.
Shitty life. Shitty, shitty life. From the beginning until now. Getting shipped off to this place with Dojima of all people as her boss? Something in her had seriously snapped. She began to be so very... fake. How long ago had she started, wearing this stupid smile? Was it when she realized she was failing her exams? Was it when she realized she didn't have the future her parents wanted? Who knows. Finding any excuse to justify it... is better than admitting it, right?
And now it would all disappear.
... Except... ]
If it isn't Narukami-chan~! Came all the way out here to meet little old me? All by yourself?
[ There's the click of a gun, suddenly, to the back of her head. She can probably feel cold steel against her hair. ]
Hahaha... what a stupid girl you are.
[ ... She... even now, though, she can't bring herself to say "brat", like she might think of the rest of them. She has a special fondness for Ayumi, after all. She liked her. Really, she did... ]
What are you even trying to PROVE?
AHAHA THAT WAS LITERALLY THE BEST/WORST ACCOUNT FAIL EVER
[Ayumi does not turn around. She expected this. Any sudden inclination of the head will result in it being shot clean through -- and Adachi won't miss at this range. Still, she takes a deep breath and attempts to calm herself; this looks like a bad situation, yes. But it can be defused. It can always be defused.]
I came here because you invited me, Adachi-san. I'm not here to prove anything.
[She did as the woman instructed. And, besides -- she wanted to talk anyway. If they had to talk in a bedroom with a noose in the center of the room, well, so be it.]
no subject
[ She is so very proud. The proudest, ever. Just, gosh, A+ for you, Miss Protag. Except she's being a snarky bitch, so she doesn't actually care, as much as her falsely happy tone seems to show otherwise. She doesn't move the gun, instead offering a false clap or two on the side of her arm, but even though this should be serious, well, why stop pretending now? This girl is a genuine riot, anyway. ]
Ha ha ha... you and your friends are causing me a lot of trouble! You know, you could have just let it go and we would have pinned the entire thing on that idiot, Namatame... honestly, you were all so close to just throwing him away, weren't you~? And yet... so self-righteous, you and your brat friends! Unfortunately, this leaves us at a bit of an impasse, huh?
no subject
[She agrees to the last statement casually, as if she wasn't standing with her back to her conversation partner and a gun pointed at her head. She wouldn't pin anything more on Namatame than what he was due; this she knows for a fact. Ayumi keeps telling herself that there's nothing to be afraid of, Adachi can't shoot her now, but... surrounded by all the misery in the air, doubts are creeping up. The gun is right there. Adachi could lose sight of herself for just a second, and--]
[--well, no, let's be real with ourselves here. Adachi practically has lost sight of herself. And she's still not shooting. Is it just because she wants to prolong the entertainment?]
[She has to choose her words carefully.]
Is it self-righteous to see hope in someone?
[Even through her naturally monotonic voice, this would read to a normal person as sincere.]
no subject
Magatsu Izanagi is cackling in the back of her head. Stupid Persona. ]
Oh, cut the bullshit. Like I believe that...
[ She can't be any different; probably just used her as a way to relieve some boredom around this shithole. ]
no subject
[And that is all she's going to say for the time being. She wants to hear Adachi explain it in her own words.]
no subject
[ Seems she's a lot more vulgar in reality than anyone knew; the overly careful, almost bumbling happy person was just an act. Oh, some of it was sincere, some.
... But...
She hadn't ever truly been like that. Sure, she could be forgetful and a bit of a klutz, but... not quite like that. The passionate woman hoping to protect others was also a lie; everything was just a way for her to channel her anger, in the end. She's pretty... hollow. ]
no subject
[Ayumi sighs. Even though she's had heartfelt moment practice for the past year, this is more difficult than she would absolutely like it to be. But since the alternative (taking Adachi's hand and skipping cheerfully down to the police station) is probably not going to happen... she has to make due with what she's got.]
I want you to be truly happy, Adachi. Because we spent time together as friends, and I care about you. ... Even if that was an act.
[She's not entirely sure she believes it was all an act, but since Adachi seems to, she's picking her battles for now.]
I stand here at your absolute mercy... I'm defenseless. Search me or whatever you want, there's nothing there. But I have to say: even a true idiot wouldn't do this. Even a true idiot would conclude this is a trap, and that tonight they will probably die. [She manages to keep her voice relatively stable here, and for that she feels a detached bit of pride.] If I'm as selfish as you think, would I be here? Or would I be running away right now, fleeing for the sake of my life?
no subject
How the fuck should I know? You're a stupid kid. Besides, as if anyone actually cared about my happiness... y'know what'd make me happy? If this entire world just disappeared.

4-12
So when the Kirijo Group shown interest in trying to creating a partnership with the local Amagi Inn, Mitsuru went to close the deal herself rather than sending a representative of the company. In true Kirijo style there was quite an uproar at her arrival. A limousine isn't subtle. Who knew?
The local police, of course, wanted to talk to her about the incidents...and tried to provide an escort. Mitsuru herself at first wanted to refuse--she had a bodyguard already--but then decided against arguing. After all, maybe this escort could provide information that she couldn't get out of the detectives.
So, she had rented the largest room the Amagi Inn had. Just for her stay of a few days, of course. It was a spacious room near a currently uninhabited part of the inn. All the luxuries are there, of course, including a larger television than the normal rooms had.
She wasn't sure about letting her escort into said room at first but they were both women so perhaps that would be fine. After all that would give them some time to talk about the case in private.]
Ah, Adachi-san. Thank you again for your help.
no subject
She was certainly pretty. If... she could get a woman like that, maybe she'd have a much easier life. It's a nice thought. ]
Yeah, no problem...! I'm sorry we're so, uh, understaffed? Dojima-san would've done it, but he's been so busy trying to work on stuff here... n-not that I can talk about it, but anyway! We're all pretty worried with you being here something might happen, so... I think we'd all sleep a little more soundly knowing at least one of Inaba's Police Department is trying to help. Sure is a surprise you're here for the inn, though...!
no subject
[She's sitting at the table, papers of business pushed aside for the moment. The business with the Inn was important but--well. She wouldn't be lying to say that it wasn't what brought her there.]
As for the Inn--well. It's just a simple meeting to see if the owners are open to a business arrangement. The Amagi Inn is becoming known in the travel circles, even before the recent events. The owner is quite a formidable woman, however. [She gives a small, rueful chuckle.]
no subject
[ And get away from him. UGH, she did not go through school and miserably scrabble her way out of it just to end up being a stupid coffee gopher. Whatever. She rubs the back of her neck, a bit awkward. ]
She's well-known for that... guess all I can do is wish you luck there, not that you'll probably need it...!
no subject
[She honestly means that, if only because most of the other officers were men. She might be a bit naive still in the ways of the world but she knew better than to let a strange man into her room.]
She seemed to be expecting a representative of the Kirijo Group, not me personally. I suppose that's what got me through the door at all.
no subject
[ And yet she is glowing to receive praise anyway, or at least thanks, especially from such a pretty girl. Yes, this one... she's so curious. ]
Between you and me, I feel loads safer knowing we can keep an eye on you while you're here, anyway. If anyone else who was going to get interviewed went missing, whew, would we be in trouble...!
no subject
However, she's careful. She doesn't let her expression give away the information she already knows. Her voice sounds more serious but a little curious as well.]
There are people going missing as well? I hadn't heard about that.
no subject
[ O o p s. She's totally a good cop!!! ]
U-uh, y-yeah, I guess... well, I mean, most of them were probably just coincidence! A lot of those kids were kind of troubled... especially Amagi-san's daughter, from what I was hearing, but...
no subject
[Hm... this is interesting. She'll need to think about that.]
I see... that must be one of the reasons the owner was so tense.
no subject
[ A nervous laugh; Adachi is, obviously, not the brightest crayon the department has to offer, but it appears her heart is, at least, in it. ]
Dojima-san can be pretty scary when he gets into something, so I know we'll be able to help. Everyone's pretty tense, lately, so you honestly picked the worst time...
no subject
[She taps the table, as if in thought.]
This all seems rather strange. In a bigger city, I would say that these disappearances probably have no greater meaning but in a town such as Inaba...
Gen. 3 & 17 combo!
Miharu stopped running for a moment to take out her cellphone, composing a mail to send to Rio when she spots a female officer up ahead.]
Ah, miss! [She hurriedly finishes her mail before pocketing her phone and running up to the woman.] I need your help please.
no subject
[ She puffs out her chest just a bit. Gotta look important...! ]
Well, we're here to help. Aren't you one of the Port Island kids visiting here? What's up?
ooh adachi-san oooh~
Yes. I'm Arisato Miharu. [She manages a small bow.] I'm looking for my friend, Iwasaki Rio. She's one of my teammates. I mailed her to ask where she is and if she's okay but there's no answer yet...
When she does answer, can you help me find the place she's at? I don't know the area that well.
no subject
Don't worry, Arisato-san! I know the Inaba pretty well, I can help you look! Never leave anyone in trouble behind, right? Can you give me a description of what your friend looks like? That way, if we spot her beforehand, I'll know!
