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!

PONY
You are now a pony from the magical land of Equestria. There are three sub-species of pony, but all of them are four-legged hoofed equestrian creatures with a vegetarian diet. You're also fairly small, compared to everyone else. About 12 to 14 hands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_(unit)) in height. You are also innocent, cute, brightly colored, and possess an identifying mark on your flank known as a cutie mark. This symbol is associated with something you do well or a particular skill and can really be anything: butterflies, diamonds, lightning bolts, hour glasses, apples and so much more.
On to your three sub-species.
Pegasus pony: The coolest of all ponies. They have a pair of wings which lets them fly. They also have a minor magical ability which allows them to walk on clouds as if they were solid earth. They can also manipulate clouds, pushing, pulling, making it rain, etc.
Unicorn pony: These ponies have a single horn on their forehead. This allows them to use magic, the power of which varies depending on the individual. All unicorns can apparently use this magic as a form of telekinesis to lift and manipulate objects, and other spells involve shape-shifting, growing moustaches, and other awesome stuff.
Earth pony: The most boring of ponies. They don't really do anything except be hardier and stronger than other ponies. That's about it.
