Information: Plot Requests

plot requests

This page is for suggesting plot ideas (either player-driven events or general suggestions) for perusal by the mods. We encourage players to come up with and run their own events, and would be happy to help refine an idea to best suit the game setting and the other players. Don't want to run your own event? This is also the place to suggest general ideas, such as "I think we should have some kind of weather event where it storms for days and knocks out power and people have to work together" etc.

For small events that only affect a handful of players, please consider requesting a mission. You want to hunt for ghosts in the empty hospitals? You want to space walk outside the station and fight zombies with a line gun? Tell us there!

As for large scale player-driven events...

large-scale action requests

Large-scale actions are player-driven game plots which will affect more than those directly involved in the planning. This can be anything from a bomb going off to a game show. In general, though, we only need to see a request form if an action will harm or threaten the population, including NPCs.

Mod approval is needed for these actions so that the mod team can work with players to ensure balance and plausibility with game canon and metaplot. As with everything in Singularity, players can pretty much do what they want, we'd just ask for moderation.

Some examples of large scale actions:
  • "I have a neurotoxin which causes temporary amnesia and disorientation I want to release into Kurzweil's vents."
  • "I have already found the Underworld and want to kidnap one of the insurgents to interrogate her."
  • "I want to kidnap Agent Texas and hold her hostage for ransom on the network."
  • "I want to hack into Sacrosanct's confidential records to see if I can find something."
To request a large-scale action, comment with the following:

The general rule with large-scale actions, and any other big deal requests, is to provide enough lead time in case the mods need to discuss any of the details with you. We are not in a mindset to outright reject anything; rather, if something doesn't quite work for us, we'd prefer to talk it out, to see if there's not another solution. The mods may also ask you to postpone your plot to avoid scheduling conflicts with other player plots, and event burn-out for the game at large.

If your plot is going to require special items, such as finding a fully functional EMP in the Junkyard, please note that in the description here instead of going to the Requests page. We will approve items on this page if they are related to a plot.

Dark Energon

Your Name: Lainie
Character Name: Soundwave (Prime)
Character Journal: [personal profile] slenderbot
Nature of the Action: Player plot
Explain in more detail how this will work:
For some months now, Primewave has been working on what is known as a "Space bridge" in Transformers fandom. They are time-space transports like the teleporters that are meant to span over great distances, originally designed and created by Decepticons. In Prime continuity, it's been shown that if someone malfunctions in a Ground bridge (and Space bridge, by default), it can punch into other realities. Primewave was looking to harness his ability to control gateways to other dimensions (including his own).

The idea was to have him succeed, somewhat, but pinpoints the wrong time and location. As such, instead he opens a gateway to his version of Cybertron shortly after it had been infected with Dark Energon. Instead of quickly trying to resolve this mistake he just... decides to go with it, seize the power of Dark Energon and this new zombie army, and conquer this dimension for Megatron and Cybertronian superiority. Not the swellest guy here.

The result: station has a bit of a robot zombie infestation.

What Dark Energon does: The undead Cybertronians' bodies are fueld by Dark Energon. A drop of this energon can animate another corpse or in some cases, cause non-living mechanical devices to come to live with simple-minded and violent dispositions. Dark Energon has also been shown to be highly poisonous to humans (and reasonably other organics as well), although a human can recover with application of energon. Dark Energon has also shown to be somewhat of a drug to the Cybertronians who willfully use it, causing increased stamina, power, etc. at the cost of becoming much more... unhinged (and glowy purple!) because of the power of Unicron.

End result: I imagine the space bridge and any zombies would eventually be destroyed and Soundwave and any allies will get what's coming to them.

When do you expect this action to be carried out? Tentatively May? Latest would be early June.
Is this illegal and/or sure to have negative consequences? Yes
If so, do you have a plan for what's going to happen to your character? Punishment by Hypatia for the knowing troublemakers
Does this involve characters other than your own? Yes. It also includes Soundwave (CnC), Knock Out, Breakdown, Shockwave, and Deadlock. It is also the kind of plot that will pretty much affect all participating characters.
If so, have you gotten the other players' permission? WELP. I have permission from those helping to build it. The plot can be contained to certain zones. unsure on what zone, currently. The Space bridge is being built underground.
