** Thea's role is also reduced significantly, mainly since she isn't a BrattyTeenageDaughter and doesn't need a lot of CharacterDevelopment.
** Caitlin and Cisco are demoted to supporting characters, as Barry has mastered his powers by the time he meets them and is not as nearly dependent on them as he is in canon.

'''Official Summary''':
Oliver Queen was the sixteen-year-old scion of the wealthy Queen family before a boat trip gone awry landed him on the island hell of Lian Yu.
Three years prior, Barry Allen, all eleven years of age, woke up to a whirlwind of gold and scarlet and watched as a man in a yellow suit ruined his life. Three years after, he washes up on the shores of purgatory.
Kara Zor-El, age twelve, had neither luxury. She was shoved into a space ship, baby cousin in hand, and tossed into the ebony abyss as her planet exploded around her, landing in a world so similar and yet so very different from her own.
(Or: The AU where Oliver, Barry, and Kara survive Lian Yu together for years, raising a baby Kal-El, and are eventually rescued – by the League of Assassins)

* AgeLift: Minor adjustments so Oliver, Barry, and Kara have two year age gaps between them.
* AlternateUniverse: A League Assasin!AU with Oliver, Barry, and Kara. Per WordOfGod, National City and most of ''Supergirl's'' supporting cast doesn't exist in this reality.

** The first major nails involve what lands the leads on Lian Yu in the first place.
*** The first nail is that Robert isn't on the ''Gambit'' with Oliver, thanks to unexpected business stopping him from going on the trip. As a result, he survives, and Walter Steele eventually dies in his place.
*** The second nail is Oliver's age; Oliver leaves at the age of sixteen, before his party boy lifestyle really got into full swing and before he could start dating ChildhoodFriend Laurel. Thus, he doesn't take Sara with him on the trip, making him the only one of the ''Arrow'' cast to wash ashore Lian Yu. Sara becomes a traveling humanitarian, and the Lances' marriage never breaks up.
*** During one of Joe and Barry's arguments about Henry's innocence, the former calls the latter "crazy." This moment spurs on Barry's decision to study abroad in China.
*** For some reason, the Els built one two-seater spaceship instead two one-seater spaceships like they did in canon. Kara and Kal-El end up traveling together, and both land in the Phantom Zone; meaning that when they finally arrive on earth, there's no Superman yet.
** Having both parents and being much younger when Oliver "died" leaves Thea sheltered instead of spoiled and wild thanks to her parents being extremely overprotective.
** Since Joe's words are what drove Barry to leave for China, Iris blames her father for his "death", estranging them.
