singularityooc | 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!

also double bonus all the way across the sky? Here is an easy little way to apply troll shit to WHOMEVER WANTS IT.

Symbol: Anything will do, really, but here (http://www.suberic.net/~dmm/astro/constellations.html) is a a list of the astrology-related ones.

Blood Color: There is a list of colors here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors), along with what the hexcode for them is. Liana's link for how the blood caste works can be applied to whatever color you want. Reds Oranges and Yellows are low. Greens are mediums. Blues and Indigos are high. Violets are the highest and also Sea Dwellers. Candy red is always a mutation always and Karkat is the only special troll snowflake allowed to have it I guess? I don't know. I'm not Linda.

Strife Specibus: If the mods see fit to grant temporary castmates this kind of thing, here (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Strife_Deck) is a page for how that works. To put it simply, it allows that person to obtain something of a mastery in that weapon. Sort of. Ish.

Fetch Modus: Same with the above. Here (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Sylladex) is a wiki page. To put THIS simply, a Fetch modus stores all your items on little cards. Those cards can become corporeal, somewhat, but can also be stored in something like a pocket dimension that sort of follows the user everywhere. Some of them are annoyingly difficult to use and some are easy. All have parameters you can pull out of your ass and if you can weaponize it, it will throw your shit at other people.

Typing Quirk: Trolls usually type in their blood color unless they are MUTANT FREAKS like KARKAT. Quirks can be simple replacement (v=vv i=*) or just not using punctuation or capitalization. Or OVERusing it. I've crammed the basic code into the little box thing EVEN THOUGH YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW IT. This way you can just replace the hexcode, put it in an .rtf and just copy paste it for all your text post needs.

Is the color/typing quirk thing genetic or cultural? Or is it "fuck it who cares I want to have a quirk for the duration of the event?"

It's cultural, I'm p. sure.

Cultural. But if you wanna be like SCREW THE RULES I WANT TO HAVE A FUN QUIRK no one is going to stop you

IN FACT I ENCOURAGE IT.

{
   i'm trying to convince myself
      that making his quirk look like c code
      wouldn't be incredibly annoying;
}

I don't know how well it's working.

well I like it

4t le4st I like it, Fly^^. It's very y0u.

Finding replacements for Ns is impossible

Try Alt characters?

I would, but at least half of my tags are from an iPhone with its silly keyboard. I will have to see.

{
i'm !sure anyone will want to deal with it
|| be able to read it even if they do;
}

! is the logical not and || is the logical or. >_> (Honestly, I could make it way more hideous, but I'll just stick to the Boolean operators if I do decide to give him a quirk.)

Sir, y0u 4re such a ^erd. Just s4yi^g.

These two could always just be the worst trolls on the station together instead? Bring embarrassment to the concept of being trolls.

{
   a nerd without whom you would !exist;
   just saying;
   you're welcome
      by the way;
}

Flynn's going to spend most of his time apologizing to people for snapping at them. Highblood temper, you know~

I 4ppreci4te it, y0u kn0w th4t. Th0ugh with0ut me y0u w0uld h4ve bee^ 0ut 0f luck t00.
S0 y0u're welc0me.

Anon spends the entire time forgiving Flynn and doing Parkour and saving his moirail/matesprit from his kismesis. Somehow being a troll complicates his life not at all.

{being a troll has ruined your manners;
also you need to get your quadrants straightened out;
&& i think i might eliminate the formatting on the quirk;
it's way too complicated;}

That's what happens when your life starts out complicated.

Th0se will ^ever be str4ighte^d 0ut.
I c4^'t eve^ figure 0ut y0ur qu4dr4^ts, Fly^^.
4^d ye4h th4t is pr0b4bly e4sier.

It used to be so simple and then everyone came back from the dead and Abraxas made me like him and hate him at the same time :\

{oh mine are easy;
<3 == Tron;
<> == Alan;
<3< == Clu;
c3< == basically everyone;}

Not that he realizes the Tron thing IC, of course. And he doesn't have a blackrom quadrant when he's human. Too Zen.

You really need to tell Flynn about that residual viral corruption, Anon. :|

Th4t
Th4t is s0 ^0t f4ir
It's ^0t my f4ult thi^gs 4re re4lly c0mplic4ted i^ my qu4dr4^ts.

~~Someday Gibson will find out and make him pipe up~~ Anon thinks you have enough broken Monitors on your hands, Flynn.

Besides, he gives himself panic attacks thinking about handing his disc off to anyone again.
Even if it's you :(

{
   broken monitors i do !know about are still broken
      && i can !plan for their behavior
         because i'm unaware of all the factors;
   so it's !like you're doing me a favor;
   plurk told me to keep the formatting
      by the way;
   && i'm just masochistic enough to do it;
}

Baww Anon ;____;

Y0u sh0uld h4ve k^0w^ 4lre4dy.
Y0u were the o^e th4t fixed me i^ the first pl4ce.
I c4^ still feel it 4^d d0^'t k^0w wh0 t0 bl4me.
But I ki^d 0f like it.
4^d plurk is t0t4lly right.

Too many people mucking with his disc
Now no one gets to.

{
i'm sorry;
}

What, did you think something else was coming? Even troll Flynn has massive guilt issues. :P

I'm tryi^g to be pissed-off 4^d y0u 4re^'t helpi^g :\
I'm s0rry.
I did ^0t me4^ th4t.
I d0^'t bl4me y0u.

Bawww, Flynn ;_;

{
   it's ok;
   it's a touchy subject
      && you have plenty of reason to be upset;
}

They are the worst trolls ever.

It w4s my f4ult it h4ppe^ed in the first pl4ce.
Did s0methi^g stupid 4^d p4id f0r it.

They are too sweet for trolling, even when they get snitty at each other.
