idk who's gonna see this considering it's pretty late BUT HI GUYS it's ash (aka: iowa) and i've brought in another military man (because that's all i seem to play). also uh. watch out for spoilers for his canon below?




meet captain robert cross from the vidya PROTOTYPE. he is, initially, an antagonist to alex mercer, but eventually teams up with him.... only to get consumed by the supreme hunter and back-stab him at the very end of the game. cross had no real hand in the betrayal himself, but he did get some sweet powers out of the deal...

EITHER WAY cross is a man driven by morals and tries his best to be a good person and make decisions he feels are morally upstanding. even if... some of those morals are skewed a little. but he's got a kind heart underneath that no-nonsense exterior!

anyone curious about his abilities can feel free to ask me here until i get everything set up in his journal!

Hi, all!

Hey there! My name is Crystal, and I'm new to Singularity. I'm bringing in this lady here, Lucy Tracy.

Lucy is from Thunderbirds, and some of you may have already seen her around. She's a painter, pianist, and mother, a kind soul who will stand up for both herself and those who can't. Need a shoulder to cry on? Lucy will probably be quite happy to provide one.

I'm looking forward to interacting with as many of you as want to play, so here's to future threads!

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

Hola Singloritas, Carolyn aqui. Pursuant to my remit as the Boring Mod, I am updating the game's info pages. As you may have noticed already, Applications, Reserves, and Contact & FAQ have been updated to the new, easier-to-maintain format, and have up-to-date information. Tonight we can add, by popular demand, an LJ-based Taken page to that list! It's actually getting long enough that I might split it in two parts soon, but LJ is behaving badly enough right now that I'm not going to press my luck.

I was working primarily from the responses to this post from October, but I also checked intros/drops in the OOC comm since then, and the Taken list on the wiki. (ETA: And I finally got the Hiatus/Drops pages to load. /sigh) However, I'm sure there are still errors, so I would appreciate it if you could take a look and confirm that I've got your characters' information right, and if you wanted to skim your canons/friends' info too, that would be great. It's especially important we have all the active characters listed, so that there's no confusion over reserving or apping. I'm not so concerned with having dropped characters still listed; they'll get swept in the next AC. You can let me know about any mistakes here.

The Taken list will be added to the navigation footer that appears on all the info pages once I'm reasonably convinced it's correct, though that may not happen until LJ settles down.

Up for the reserve round when the mod team is less busy are the community layouts and the Jobs Board. We are going to find/code a layout that will allow you to use tags reliably again, which may involve picking a blah-but-useable layout from the free list until something both pretty and functional can be hacked together. Again, this is dependent on LJ's behavior over the next few days (have you noticed a pattern yet.) In the meantime, using the ?format=light option will let you view tags:

http://[COMMUNITY].livejournal.com/tag/[TAG]?format=light

It's clunky, but it works.

Regarding the Jobs Board, as discussed here, we are working on tweaks to the credit system, hopefully to reduce confusion. Until then, remember that credits cannot be spent. If a character has 10 credits, they will always have 10 credits, unless they transfer them to another character, or are victimized by Hypatia's capricious whims. Credits are a threshold system, like experience points. More credits allow access to more privileges and luxuries, just like more XP lets you learn cooler spells or swing a bigger sword. As announced earlier, Sacrosanct-based jobs no longer require mod approval, but any insurgency jobs still do. Hacking credits out of the system is doable for reasonably tech-savvy characters, but needs to be approved through the Requests page.

That's all for now! Thanks for reading.
