Hello! I'm brainstorming an AU for a character I hope to TDM, and I have a question regarding characters in backstories.
My character's family is important to him in his canon, and his brother in particular might qualify as appable, though he is neither popular nor, in my opinion, well-suited to the game, so I don't actually anticipate this coming up.
I want to include an equivalent to his family in the AU. Is it ok to write them as they were, names and identifying details and all — in the process cooking up my own AU for them as well, possibly making one or more of them former Dreamers themselves? Or should I fudge details, for example: in this AU he was influenced not by his canon brother but by an OC cousin / sister / etc?
