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!

.HACK-BRAND AI (aka floating zombie hackers)
Appearance-wise, you're the same. Mostly. Well, imagine yourself if you had sharp teeth, pale as fuck skin, and thick stitches holding most of your body together. That would be more accurate. You can also float. You can't quite fly, but you can hover at least a good foot off the ground. Why? Because it's cool. You can do weird pointless stuff like making your eyes glow and change their colour, also just because.
When it comes to technology things get a little more complicated. For starters, as an AI you're now better at calculations and other math-y things, since your brain is now made of programming. You'll be more inclined to logical actions, though you're still capable of free thought and emotions and all that fun stuff. You can access and explore the network with your mind, as long as you're in contact with an active bracelet-- unfortunately, this comes with the slight side effect of , if you decide to try typing with your brain. This can be fixed just by typing normally instead.
You are also now, by default, amazing at hacking. You can break a simple filter with just a thought, and even more complex ones can be broken with a bit of patience. Likewise, you can filter your own entries with ridiculously strong coding.
There's also more complex junk like having DATA DRAIN and shit but if you really want to remove organs and stuff and don't know .hack, I have a detailed explanation of Data Drain/the Twilight Bracelet in Kite's app (http://azureflamegod.livejournal.com/36832.html). And you can ask me if you still have questions! Because wow how many people even remember .hack :(
