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!

Pink hair/eyes. Kitty-cat horns. Murderous urges and extra limbs. All of this can be yours with a simple genetic swap.

Those extra limbs are called rays and they come out of your back, all transparent and ghostlike (http://images.wikia.com/elfen-lied/images/5/56/Elfen_Lied_ep2_Vectors.jpg). You have telekinetic control over them and can cut through just about anything, including people. You can also reach inside people and blend their organs, if you want. Or. Just grab stuff. They're arms, after all, and insanely strong ones at that. Your range is about ~2 meters, maybe a little less than that -- it tends to vary with the individual. You have four in total. Concentrate hard enough and you can make the shit you touch explode, but be careful. Abusing that tends to HURT.

Anyway, ~murder~. There is literally a voice telling you to kill people. It's part of your genetic programming and very hard to ignore. Humans suddenly disgust you for some reason! And offing 'em will sound increasingly tempting as the week drags on. You may find yourself hallucinating about it in advance, or about anything that might've caused you distress/guilt in the past. Talking to yourself is TOTALLY normal, really.

That's the short version, sob. If you have more questions I am happy to answer, and also, check this (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll51riOExu1qifs93o1_500.png) out, trollpeople. It was floating around on tumblr.
