Information: Deaths

[singularitymods]

so, you've died

When a character dies, they are respawned from the last teleporter they went through. Likewise, if characters attempt to leave Asphodel's orbit in a shuttle, Hypatia will remotely detonate the shuttle after 48 hours, and trigger spontaneous discorporation of the character's atomic structure, after which they'll respawn like under any other circumstances. Respawn works by recreating a character from their fundamental atomic state at the moment they pass through a teleporter. Hypatia stores all of this information in her visitor database, checked against previous records and updated for its certification. The backup includes the exact state of a person's brain chemistry and cognition patterns at the moment of teleportation, so it acts exactly like a save state. When a character dies and respawns, they will have forgotten everything that happened to them after going through that last teleporter. Note that this does not affect either in-game events or other characters' memories, but just that of the character respawning. Players are still completely accountable for any effect this may have on their CR. While we don't expect players to keep track of every single teleporter characters go through, we'd like players to give at least a best guess of how much time they have lost. This helps not only the mods but also the other players your character has CR with. There is no limit to the time between death and respawn. It may be instantaneous, or it can be up to several weeks later (if players want to use it for a hiatus). NOTE: Respawning is an experimental technology. One possible risk for respawning is accidental mutation. While the risk is small (below 0.00001%), and most mutations are harmless and invisible (the average human has over 100!), on occasion these can be dangerous (or embarrassing). At the moment it is left up to player discretion whether respawning will cause a defect. If the mods feel a character is dying and respawning too often, they may insist on a penalty.

Fill out the following form to report your character's death: <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <b>Your Name:</b> <b>Date of Death:</b> <b>Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter:</b> (just your best guess will do) <b>Major CR or Development Affected:</b> (this is more for your and other players' reference. Briefly outline if there are any major threads, logs or other development affected by the character's loss of memories.) <b>What Number Death is This For Them?:</b> <b>Are You Giving Them a Mutation?:</b> (Rare and totally optional. Please use sparingly.)

IMPORTANT! To keep this page clean, for all first deaths with a character, make a new comment. For all subsequent deaths, reply to your own comment. This will help things stay organized and expedite the process for players.

mutations and illness

Mutations gained from respawning can range from invisible mutations to skin conditions, allergies, impaired senses, etc. Major disabilities and life-threatening conditions like blindness, impaired motor function, bone deformities, and cancer are all possible, but need mod approval, and should be treated respectfully. Please keep in mind that Sacrosanct's medical facilities and the Underworld's illegal medical markets can both cure or effectively treat most conditions quickly and painlessly. All life-threatening conditions (for example, major organ failure) are treated immediately in Sacrosanct's hospitals, regardless of the character's work credits. Non-life-threatening defects, on the other hand, might require work credits to fix, or a heavy favor with someone in the Underworld.

abusing respawn

We want the respawn system to be fun and helpful without opening it up for exploits. The following are things we consider abuses of the system: Excessive deaths in a very short time frame. Spawncamping, whether or not it's a legitimate IC strategy. Using respawn to escape consequences of character actions. As stated elsewhere, in-character actions mean in-character consequences. Whether a relationship or a murder plot, players cannot use respawn-induced amnesia as a CR reset. Characters are always accountable for their crimes, regardless of whether they remember them. As for relationships with other characters, let us remind you that amnesia never saved anyone's love life.

[arisen]

Character Journal: arisen
Your Name: Mekky
Date of Death: March 24

What Number Death is This For Them?: 1
Are You Giving Them a Mutation?: Yes! Kind of?? Because of the nature of her death (pushing her powers to her limit during the temporal distortions part of the rift event). I talked this over with Vic before, and she approved it; I want Aradia respawned, except... without her body. So basically just. As a soul/her essence. How the hell do I play a soul, you ask! Good question. During Christmas, Aradia received an empty Aradiabot shell, which is the robot husk she used when she was previously dead in canon. It's been doing nothing but collecting dust since she got it, and she'll be taking up residence in it again. Her soul can just... occupy a robot body out of some weird Homestuck logic, idk. Being a robot doesn't give her any powers that she doesn't already have, she'll just be... metal. She will eventually be returned to her original body somehow, probably via robosplosion.

Your Name: Katar
Date of Death: 5/22
Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: A few hours, at most.
Major CR or Development Affected: Nemesis Prime is leaving him for dead and CRAU Rose will find him and stay with him until he eventually dies. He will also be leaving his Pokemon with her. He went through a teleporter since his initial conversation with Nemesis when he was still uncorrupted, so he will still remember him. What he won't remember is the whole him turning into a zombie and shooting him thing. Nor will he remember that he left his Pokemon with Rose.
