So I was considering apping a character who is, unfortunately, from an ongoing non-localized smartphone game. Google is telling me the only English language fan resource by other people is a singular sub-reddit, so I assume, going by info on the apps page, that this means I would need to app this character AU. However, I'm not 100% clear on what would count for this.

Do I need to come up with a standard AU like "this character joined the party earlier/is in a different faction/had a different upbringing" etc? Or shave off the serial numbers and say they're My Totally Unique OC? Or do I just need to say it's """"AU"""" (technically not very AU but I'm saying it's AU because nobody can prove it is or isn't)?
I assumed it was the first, but I just wasn't sure since the reason for AUing is "the mods can't check against the original plot/etc in the first place".

Since there is no localization and no translation resources, you would need to create circumstances separate enough for this to count as a separate character, though the details of that are up to you-- whether that's changing the details of their backstory, shaving off the serial numbers, or something else. As long as you are clear about it being an AU, that should be fine.
