Information: Character Requests

about character requests

This is an all-purpose page for requesting the most common things you'd need mod permission for. In general, characters in Singularity enjoy broad freedoms with what they can do and acquire; it's only high-risk, rare and/or questionable items that will need to be cleared in advance. Don't worry-- almost all requests will have no problem whatsoever being approved, and if we have some concerns, we're much more likely to discuss it with you than reject anything.

This is also the page to request canon updates for your characters.

item requests

items from the junkyard

Characters can obtain raw materials from the Junkyard, aka Zone 00, the string room where they appeared when first arriving on Sacrosanct. Scrap metal, raw elements, structures and devices can all be found here. Most of these materials, like metals and normal devices (music players, carpentry tools, computer hardware) do not need to be requested here; just assume your character found them. If it's something more advanced or dangerous, we'd appreciate it if you erred on the side of caution and checked it with us first.

Some items you might find in the Junkyard that you can request (not an exhaustive list):
  • Guns
  • Advanced computer equipment
  • Dangerous and/or fictional elements
  • Alien technology
  • Premodern technology
  • Small dinosaurs
In general, living creatures are okay so long as they aren't pests or very large or dangerous. So, no tribbles, sorry.

canon updates

Canon updates work a little differently in Singularity than in other games. Instead of characters "going home" and returning, the IC explanation for canon updates is this:

Any character that appears on Sacrosanct is, at the moment before he/she/it comes through the space/time rift, understood to be at the most updated version of their canon. This is a floating state for those characters with unfinished canons. The rift is responsible for concealing memories and even changing the physical forms of those who pass through it. For example, a character who loses their hand and has it replaced by a chainsaw may appear in Sacrosanct with their flesh hand fully intact and no memory of the chainsaw. However, because the rift interacts with the teleporters on the station (there is, in fact, a teleporter just inside the rift itself that seems to still be connected to the rest of the network, but cannot be physically accessed), any time a character uses a teleporter he/she/it runs the "risk" of being canon updated. Memories may appear and even physical changes may occur. So our example character might walk into one teleporter with his hand and out another teleporter with his chainsaw, suddenly remembering the events that led up to it.

How exactly is this possible? Hypatia isn't quite sure and likes to pretend things that are beyond her ability to predict don't exist, and the rift itself doesn't answer questions.

Some players may wish to canon update their characters with new items or equipment. If the item in question is larger than would feasibly fit inside a regular teleportation unit (which is meant to accommodate one or two people at a time), the character being updated will find themselves spat out from a teleporter nearest the Junkyard, and their item will be waiting for them there if the character chooses to go look.

Please note that characters are welcome to request items without requiring a canon update. For example, if you want to request Kevin Flynn's lightcycle for Sam instead of his substandard Grid lightcycle, but don't want to update Sam to that particular part of the movie, the Kevin Flynn lightcycle can be requested as a simple item request without a canon update. In that scenario, however, the piece of equipment in question may or may not be unfamiliar to the character, and that must be reflected in their actions accordingly.

character modifications

Some players employ the teleporters to temporarily change their character, whether to another species, sex, or into another person’s body entirely. For the most part, you are free to do this without requiring mod permission; however, if the modification you’re planning on is more complicated or involves more than immediate CR, please drop it here to let us look it over.

Nature of Item: Pieces of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe
How Your Character is Obtaining It: He's not really going to be able to retrieve the whole thing, it's more like he's just going to find the smoking crashed remains of the restaurant, though suspiciously free of corpses.
In addition, he'll find the ingredients and instructions for authentic Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters.
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. :|

[personal profile] originaljoe 2012-02-03 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Your Name: Levon
Character Name: Joe
Character Journal: originaljoe
Nature of Item: explosives which will subsequently blow up a random building, perhaps only partially.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: Joe lives with two Megamen and Doctor Light. I assume they have the materials.
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: On the 13th, Joe's 1 year anniversary, he's going to get drunk with a bunch of people and, in his inebriated state, attempt to blow up a building thinking he's back home.
revvedup: but i get up ten (Default)

[personal profile] revvedup 2012-02-03 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Your Name: Carlee
Character Name: Max Guevara/X5-452
Character Journal: [personal profile] revvedup
Reference Point of the Canon Update: The end of episode 2x12 (Borrowed Time).
How Will This Change the Character?: She'll be more familiar with Alec, who's just arrived on the station, and what's been happening back in her world (namely that she's let everyone in Manticore out into the world and some of their creations are having an easier time adapting to it than others). There won't be much change other than that, aside from her being upset for a little while afterward (after discovering she was infected with a virus intended to kill the person she loved and receiving a temporary cure - she'll be coming back in right after said temporary cure expires).
Any Large Items?: Nope!

TWO REQUESTS.

Your Name: Alba
Character Name: Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze
Character Journal: [personal profile] cryovengeance
Nature of Item: Victor's DNA structure would be temporarily repaired, allowing him to live like a normal human being for awhile.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: Teleporter mutation is my guess.
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: Character development/trauma, allowing Victor at a brief moment of near happiness before I dickishly take it away.

-=-=-

Character Name: AM
Character Journal: [personal profile] cogitoergosum
Nature of Item: Credits.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: Discussed this a bit with Lainie. Two ways he is obtaining these shenanigans: I am requesting that AM either hack the machines to obtain credits, counterfeits his own, or a combination thereof. Partially to mess with Hypatia, but mostly to pay people off since he has no interest in using the credits himself.
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: In order to buy everyone's love hired muscle, investigators, etc. I'm willing to say that AM's counterfeit credits may work either only temporarily or might not work at all when attempting to use for purchase if that helps; otherwise, just basic hacking would be lovely if that is acceptable.
starsangarters: (LabcoatResearch)

We will succeed where an army of warriors failed! For SCIENCE!

Your Name: Pat
Character Name: Beast
Character Journal: [profile] startsangarters
Nature of Items: SCIENCE! Whole lot of science-y equipment for his lab. I'm not a geneticist, so I don't know what the exhaustive list would be, but it would range from the simple to the advanced. So safety equipment, test tubes, beakers, flasks, burners, assorted elements, compounds and chemicals, microscopes, centrifuges, a DNA microarray, a mass spectrometer, a nuclear magnetic resonance device, a biolistic particle delivery system, refrigerators, incubators, super computers, holographic imaging technology, and anything else that catches his fancy.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: He's going to get as much as he can from the junkyard. If there's anything that he can't get from the junkyard, please let me know what in particular he would have to actually purchase and how much that equipment would cost. Also let me know if there's any fun alien equipment he might stumble upon.
nyctophobias: (alone in my paradise)

[personal profile] nyctophobias 2012-02-08 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Your Name: Pen
Character Name: Poniko
Character Journal: [personal profile] nyctophobias
Nature of Item: A Toriningen, which is a non-sentient NPC from the Yume Nikki game. They're female and look sort of like humanoid birds, with beaky faces. References here. This Toriningen will be the pigtails and jeans variety. She can't talk or even really react to people; she just kind of follows people around sometimes. Unless you hurt her. Then her eyes turn pink and she attacks people. They display some human characteristics, like dancing and listening to music and having picnics, but they don't talk and generally ignore the world around them.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: Was wandering the junkyard and stumbled across her. Presumably the Toriningen came through the rift.
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: To troll Poniko and other residents of the station. She'll mostly follow Poniko around but I could also throw her at others.

Your Name: Pat
Character Name: Deadpool
Character Journal: [personal profile] mercwamouth
Nature of Item: Tracking System. Five tracking devices and one detector that functions similarly to RADAR in that it shows the relative distance and direction of each device from the detector.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: He's going to buy it from some sort of electronics store on the station. He'll pay for it with the illegitimate chits he obtained through the credits given to him by A.M..
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: He'll probably find many future uses for this, but right now he's looking to use this to plant tracking devices on the Spartans during the V-Day Party (assuming they attend) so that he can ambush them at some future date.

notthatbuffy: (Y U BREAK MY HART?)

[personal profile] notthatbuffy 2012-02-17 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Your Name: Mat
Character Name: Buffy Meissonier
Character Journal: [personal profile] notthatbuffy
Reference Point of the Canon Update: Just after her death
How Will This Change the Character?: Well, it's a little traumatic to be bitten by your zombie ex-boyfriend and then start turning into a zombie yourself before being shot in the head by one of your best friends in the world after forgetting your name. So there's that. Also, I don't know if serious injuries sustained just before death would show up as scars here? If so, she'd have a sort of dipped, mouth-sized scar on her left forearm where said zombie ex-boyfriend bit a chunk of her arm out. I'd spare her the indignity of a headshot scar, though.
Any Large Items?: no.
