Species Swap Event

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

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.

The reverse-furry's dream is finally coming true. FUCK YEAH HUMANS.

Eating cooked meat.
Trying on every dress ever.
Struggling to walk without a tail.

Not necessarily in that order.

Re: HUMAN

[fight4theusers]

STILL. Would be so tempting to turn this guy into his version of a GOD for awhile.

Re: HUMAN

[theuserabides]

Someone would have to teach him how to put on clothes.

Re: HUMAN

[fight4theusers]

OMG YES. He would be so confused by zippers and buttons.

Re: HUMAN

[fuckinghubble]

Other humans. What is up with those fucking assholes?

[hopediesalone]

Protoman would be so unbelievably pissed off if he was turned human at all.



So naturally it has to happen.

Okay, here's a question.

I am thinking it would be very appropriate for this guy a la Troll to be God Tier seeing as his current cannon source is already the ~elevated near-gods~.

Thing is, I am also considering him being an Adult Troll. I am wondering, since all Sgrub/Sburb players (actual players, not Guardians/ect) are kids, if this would make a difference/problem/am I overthinking things you think :|

Re: SUB-SUB-SECTION: THE GOD TIERS AND YOU

[braveboldsphere.livejournal.com]

That is. A very good question. To a point where I'm not sure if I can give you an accurate answer! God Tiers are a bit of a sub-species of sorts for both Humans and Trolls, and the main Adult Trolls we see in canon are Ancestors (Which seem to be badass in their own right, even without God Tiers.)

Short answer: I don't think it should be a problem but I am not the end-all-be-all expert on trolls? I'd ask around with the rest of the cast for details.

I want this like burning, but at the same time it makes me feel like a 13-year-old girl writing awful Mary Sue fic. >_<

Oh, good, I'm not the only one. :D

THIS IS HILARIOUS CAUSE I WANT PROGRAM!JOHN TO HAVE FLYNN BE HIS USER IF YOU'RE STILL COOL WITH THAT

(PS he is totally 1980s pesterchum/im client personified)

SO I COULD TOTALLY BE OKAY WITH THIS

...can Jade turn into God Tier Jade.

Unfortunately, this event pertains to genetic type abilities, not item-granted ones. Sylladex/Fetch Modus powers won't apply to this event which pulls Homestuckians out of the running as an available species. SPARTAN powers aren't available for much the same reason.

[braveboldsphere.livejournal.com]

Oh, well then, okay! What about the rest of the stuff, the role/power stuff, as that looks like more genetic-related. But if that's not okay, I can delete this. D: asdfadf sorry!

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

No worries, sugar. I'd like the section to be pulled simply because it doesn't seem to have set guidelines and would be way too easy to abuse. I hope ya'll can find a different species to slide into and still have fun.

HUMAN SUBSECTION: FIREBENDER

You know you want to be able to create and control fire with your internal energy called chi. YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS.

Re: HUMAN SUBSECTION: FIREBENDER

[tempus-mutantur.livejournal.com]

8|aa aa aa I MIGHT WANT THIS.

Because I know I want Pink Dave to be ~human~ and ~normal~ for the week, but everything is better on fire.

Re: HUMAN SUBSECTION: FIREBENDER

ffff awesome. READ THIS IF YOU DECIDE TO DO IT? (http://singularityooc.livejournal.com/132436.html?thread=3426644#t3426644)

ADDENDUM

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Noting at the request of the mods that the teleporters won't grant knowledge about how to manage their skill, so they might not be very good at controlling a flame once it's summoned: they might accidentally set people things on fire, or inadvertently burn themselves.
