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.

mcfussyfangs: ([Switch] Conservation of Mass)

[personal profile] mcfussyfangs 2012-06-11 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Your Name: Surge
Character Name: Kanaya Maryam
Character Journal: [personal profile] mcfussyfangs
Nature of Item: Basically Kanaya is going to find a seriously fucking awesome make-up kit. It will be called FABULOUSLY CLASSY DEATH ARSENAL.
The kit will include:
2 STARLIGHT CALAMITY eyeliner pencils - They turn into something like a glaive except the blade part is a like sort of blade shaped chainsaw.
1 tube of DRILLING WITH QUESTIONS mascara - Turns into a chainsaw + drill + jousting lance combo
1 AFFLICTION OF ANGELS blush compact - Basically turns into something like this but more rounded on the bladed side.
2 COLORS OF CALAMITY eyeshadow palettes (4 colors each) - Turn into a pair of chainsaw brass knuckles.
1 tube of ICE BURN clear lipgloss - Turns into a chainsaw sword.

Do not ask me about the mechanics of any of these or how they work because she has a foldable chainsaw lipstick and I haven't even figured that shit out yet. Pretty much all these will be as strong as her original one, which is to say it's more about the fact that they are chainsaws and that she can put a lot of force behind them because of the whole "vampire super strength" thing. The mascara will be particularly good at drilling through metal, though theoretically she could do that with any of them.

How Your Character is Obtaining It: Junkyard.
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: They're chainsaws and also make-up. The chainsaws are for fucking things up. The make-up is for looking fancy. Mostly it's so she has an arsenal to choose from and something more significant to give up for Soundwave's event because Jeff and I have a plan.

Also, ridiculous weapons that make no sense.
