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!

DO WE NEED A RAINBOW DRINKER SUB-SECTION?
ANYWAY. Since NOTHING MUCH has been revealed about rainbow drinkers IN CANON, for this? You all get to become privy to my particular amount of HEADCANON BULLSHITERY, which will be put in smalls parantheses. If the mods allow, of course.
Rainbow drinkers are a sort of sub-species of trolls. They are creatures of the day, the Alternian parallel to vampires on Earth, and probably where the idea originated from. There. Now you all know who to blame.
Rainbow drinkers:
- Glow in the dark (The amount of glowing is parallel to the intensity of emotion. Kanaya glows violently when kicking the shit out of everyone in canon, and then resumes a mild glowing after she calms down.)
- Drink blood. Adurr. (Lower blood colors are more filling, but grant less strength, higher blood colors grant more strength, but are less filling. Karkat is an untested anomaly and human blood is probably filling, but nausea inducing.)
- Enhanced strength, speed, agility, etc. (To what degree depends on the amount/type of blood taken in.)
- Healing (You no longer heel fully on your own. This is because you are DEAD and CAN'T. In order to get the energy to heal, you need to be in the sun for a long period of time. Or you need to drink blood. Otherwise, you can go to the magic space hospital and get everything healed. Everything. Even the smallest cut.)
I have NO IDEA what else to BULLSHIT for this, so FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS providing you ACTUALLY CARE? I GUESS?
