Information: Character Requests
about character requests |
|
This is an all-purpose page for requesting the most common things you'd need mod permission for. In general, characters in Singularity enjoy broad freedoms with what they can do and acquire; it's only high-risk, rare and/or questionable items that will need to be cleared in advance. Don't worry-- almost all requests will have no problem whatsoever being approved, and if we have some concerns, we're much more likely to discuss it with you than reject anything. This is also the page to request canon updates for your characters. |
item requests |
items from the junkyard |
|
Characters can obtain raw materials from the Junkyard, aka Zone 00, the string room where they appeared when first arriving on Sacrosanct. Scrap metal, raw elements, structures and devices can all be found here. Most of these materials, like metals and normal devices (music players, carpentry tools, computer hardware) do not need to be requested here; just assume your character found them. If it's something more advanced or dangerous, we'd appreciate it if you erred on the side of caution and checked it with us first. Some items you might find in the Junkyard that you can request (not an exhaustive list):

canon updates |
|
Canon updates work a little differently in Singularity than in other games. Instead of characters "going home" and returning, the IC explanation for canon updates is this: Any character that appears on Sacrosanct is, at the moment before he/she/it comes through the space/time rift, understood to be at the most updated version of their canon. This is a floating state for those characters with unfinished canons. The rift is responsible for concealing memories and even changing the physical forms of those who pass through it. For example, a character who loses their hand and has it replaced by a chainsaw may appear in Sacrosanct with their flesh hand fully intact and no memory of the chainsaw. However, because the rift interacts with the teleporters on the station (there is, in fact, a teleporter just inside the rift itself that seems to still be connected to the rest of the network, but cannot be physically accessed), any time a character uses a teleporter he/she/it runs the "risk" of being canon updated. Memories may appear and even physical changes may occur. So our example character might walk into one teleporter with his hand and out another teleporter with his chainsaw, suddenly remembering the events that led up to it. How exactly is this possible? Hypatia isn't quite sure and likes to pretend things that are beyond her ability to predict don't exist, and the rift itself doesn't answer questions. Some players may wish to canon update their characters with new items or equipment. If the item in question is larger than would feasibly fit inside a regular teleportation unit (which is meant to accommodate one or two people at a time), the character being updated will find themselves spat out from a teleporter nearest the Junkyard, and their item will be waiting for them there if the character chooses to go look. Please note that characters are welcome to request items without requiring a canon update. For example, if you want to request Kevin Flynn's lightcycle for Sam instead of his substandard Grid lightcycle, but don't want to update Sam to that particular part of the movie, the Kevin Flynn lightcycle can be requested as a simple item request without a canon update. In that scenario, however, the piece of equipment in question may or may not be unfamiliar to the character, and that must be reflected in their actions accordingly. |

character modifications |
| Some players employ the teleporters to temporarily change their character, whether to another species, sex, or into another person’s body entirely. For the most part, you are free to do this without requiring mod permission; however, if the modification you’re planning on is more complicated or involves more than immediate CR, please drop it here to let us look it over. |

Character Name: Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd
Character Journal:
Reference Point of the Canon Update: Children's Crusade #9, all the way to the end of the issue - the Young Avengers, or what's left of them, are being called on by Captain America, and are now officially assimilated to the Avengers team.
How Will This Change the Character?:
Billy: Canon-updated Billy has so much guilt from the events in CC#9; from surviving Cassie's death, witnessing Nate's murder of Jonas and his full-fledged treading onto the path of becoming Kang the Conqueror, and Eli's leaving the team, Billy feels that he's as much to blame for what has happened as much as Wanda and Doom are for having interfered too much in things he now feels he shouldn't have become involved in. He's spent a number of months being depressed about the events in Children's Crusade to the point that it takes an official Avengers call and the threat of a break-up with Teddy to get him to do something about himself.
Tommy: Canon-updated Tommy, like Billy, has a lot of guilt to manage for what happened during Children's Crusade, but with a telling difference - showing the depth by which his character has grown, Tommy proves himself the one most willing to continue being a Young Avenger, despite the losses the team has suffered, because it's the right thing to do. Going beyond his personal reasons - the team being his family, having no other place to go, having little choice beyond being an Avenger (considering that was why he was broken out of juvie in the first place) - Tommy's gone above and beyond being a teenager playing dress-up and getting in trouble, and vaulted himself right into Hero territory. (Pura will add to this if needed.)
Both: On the positive end - for some measure of positive - Billy's and Tommy's relationship as brothers have been cemented by sheer trial of fire. They live together now at the Kaplan household, and along with Teddy they are a daily fixture in each other's lives. They now have some semblance of family feelings for each other, instead of the vague, tentative claiming of each other as brothers initially. After the whole CC arc, they've blown through that wall that's keeping them from openly calling each other brothers - and with Wanda now actively being a presence in their lives, it's safe to say that they're going down the road of how Wanda and Pietro are like with each other.
Back to the sad side, though - with half the team roster gone, Tommy and Billy are going to be somewhat wary towards discussing some of the things that have happened, and while there aren't any physical scars, a few months are not enough to finish grieving the deaths and loss of friends they've fought with and risked their lives for.
Any Large Items?: None! Except maybe for their team uniforms again.
