Species Swap Event

On May 20th, Kaylee and Bro are going to go on a date. Normally, this wouldn't mean anything to anyone on the station except for them, but Kaylee just happens to be a very curious mechanic whose idea of the perfect date involves digging into the wiry heart of the station.

Long story short? The teleporters are about to start malfunctioning. While they'll still get your character from point A to point B, there will also be a solid chance that they will be one of the lucky people who experiences a random teleportation error. This error? It scrambles your character's DNA and they might just come out the other side with fins, hooves, or mandibles. A human is now a salarian. A troll is now a golden retriever. In short: species swap.

The effects will last until the 27th when Hypatia manages to replace the necessary parts to repair the damage done.


A quick run-down of rules are as follows:
-Species will be limited to current residents of the station unless otherwise approved.

-No splicing two or more species together please. We don't need any half-unicorn, half-dragon wolves running amok. Keep it simple. There's plenty enough to wig out over with a total gene swap.

-The swap will occur as a “random accident” upon your character teleporting. If you don't want to take part in the species swap shenanigans, it's safe to assume that your character simply wasn't effected.


To generate CR:
A log will go up on the start day of the event. Should you choose, the teleporter error may also have the unfortunate side-effect of routing your character to Garden Zone 1 instead of their desired location.

Don't fret, though, they won't be stuck and there will be more people behind them, coming through from other parts of the station on a similar detour. It's the perfect rendezvous. Have your character chat with them, gape at their new bodies, or find another teleporter and go on their merry way.

Or have a panic attack. Whichever.


Feel free to ask questions/leave comments in the labeled section below. Let's have fun, guys!

I don't even... know what I'm going to make her yet BUT THAT CAN BE DECIDED; DOES ANYONE WANT TO PLOT?

Re: ZONE-DROP PLOTTING

[identity profile] emberandash.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
YES

lol he'd be the best troll. I'M TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN TURNING HER INTO A PONY, A TROLL, OR ONE OF THE LITTLE FLYING ROBOTS

HE WOULD BE A VERY GRUMPY TROLL WHY IS HE SQUISHY keywords forever

I'm...kind of tempted for him to be reluctant to teleport less he risk screwing things up further, and then, near the end of the plot, finally do so

and then he is a pony. C:

I have no idea what I'm making Joe, but I'd love some species swap CR. I think I'll just roll a die on this on when it comes to species choice.

ABRAXAS THE THEME PARK LORD DRAGON
• Will obviously be a dragon.
• Will be looking for shinies... and sitting on everything.
• Will still sound completely messed up, hooray.
• Will hide things and people in the theme park rides, and sleep in a rollercoaster.
• PLOT WITH ME


SHOCKWAVE
I... don't know what to make him yet. He will likely be one of the following:
• Akita doggy. Time for fetch.
• Fluffy cat. Lots of D| stares.
• Salarian. Pretty much... no change in how he acts. Crazy scientist to crazy scientist.
• Iguana. BIG GIANT REPTILE SHOCKWAVE. Is it possibly to be afraid of accidentally eating yourself?
• Troll. C☢mplete with b☢ring typing quirk? idek.
• Lusus. No idea what he would look like.
PLOT WITH ME, TELL ME WHICH TO PICK. STUFF!

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
N☢t my pr☢blem. [Insert that "l☢l" thing here.]

and then he gets beat up, and starts working on a way to fix it

NEMESIS DOESN'T CARE HE'S TEAL BLOODED

HE'S GOING TO DO TROLLS PROUD WITH HIS VIOLENCE

and then be somewhat horrified at himself later he needs shockwave INTACT and ABLE
notsoloyal: (scream/ YOU ARE SUCH AN AFT)

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
SHOCKWAVE IS YOUR SEADWELLING BETTER, NEMESIS
A LITTLE RESPECT WILL DO YOU SOME GOOD
notsoloyal: (ooc/ troll science glitches)

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
he will rub his bloodcolour in his face and laugh. that's how awesome he is. vriska taught him well

well. guess he's being trollwave for at least a part of this event

[identity profile] knight4darkness.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I can just see Nem being like "what does blood color have to do with anything this is stupid this species is stupid SHOCKWAVE FIIIIXX THIIIISSSSS /whine"

clearly he will have to show nem how to bathe and dress himself.
notsoloyal: (bot/cake/ we gotta have it made)

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
he will explain everything to him. slowly. like he thinks nemesis is stupid.

lafvjshfbsjfbs;afs i want to draw that "no convoy, your foot goes through the OTHER pant leg"

[identity profile] knight4darkness.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
FOR THIS AND THIS SITUATION ALONE NEMESIS WILL TOLERATE THIS.

oh god do it. HOW DOES I T-SHIRT, SHOCKWAVE?

i already have a couple crappy sketches of troll!nem AS THE ICONS SHOW, but i'm wondering if he'd end up starkers when he came out as a troll the first time.
notsoloyal: (ha/ this tea is laughable)

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
/drawing RIGHT NOW

pffffft naked nemesis troll in the garden zone. QUICK TO THE BUSHES
notsoloyal: (wake/ nido listening to the touch)

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
man people would just be swooning over him

halfway through the week while shockwave is explaining to him on how he's trying to fix things, he just changes into another species. nemesis is possibly left with a shockwave that can't speak english

are his horns stumps or broken?

[identity profile] knight4darkness.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
ALL THE NOT-SOBBING. He haaates this place!

Broken. I'm thinking that they formed properly, and looked pretty much like Unicron's. I also imagine Nemesis wouldn't take that very well.
notsoloyal: (shock/ ithought we had something special)

[personal profile] notsoloyal 2011-05-19 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
i have to figure out what else of the other five i'm turning him into. if any

poor nemesis. if shockwave ever figures out that he broke his horns he'll harass him about if it hurt or not

[identity profile] knight4darkness.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
You could hypothetically do all of them, with a lot of porting. Just sayin'.

...Nemesis would probably admit it did. And then smile as he describes said pain as 'exquisite'. Because I don't care who the hell you are or how 'recovered' you get, you spend any extended period of time under Unicron's influence you become a masochist.
