about 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.
items from asphodel
The Underworld is a nomadic black market and insurgency group which continually changes locations in the tunnels of Asphodel. This is the place to find all the illicit things you aren't likely to find in the sterile environment of the orbital. These include everything from harmless but illegal program mods to stimulants, hardcore drugs, experimental body modifications and prostitution.

Characters looking to augment their bodies or find illicit space-aged substances can find them here. Of course, keep in mind two things: everything comes at a price, and not everything can be smuggled back onto the station.

Some items you might find in the Underworld that you can request (again, not exhaustive):
  • Artificial limbs
  • Artificial organs
  • Body armor
  • Pet automatons
  • Drugs
Pornography and small to medium amounts of drugs do not need a request form. Large amounts of drugs meant for dealing, however, will need approval.

To request an item, comment with the form below:
canon updates
Canon updates are going to 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.

To request a canon update for your character, comment with the form below:

Welcome to Sacrosanct. Please watch your step:
setting - gameplay - taken - application
event archive - hiatus and drop - contact and faq
maps and locations - requests - job board - deaths

Your Name: Tricks
Character Name: Sollux Captor
Character Journal: [livejournal.com profile] heterochromiia
Nature of Item: joint teleporter mutation with [livejournal.com profile] fuckinfeelins! mostly this is a silly makeover.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: going through a teleporter together...doop
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: OKAY SO God Tier colors for Eridan and Sollux have finally come out, so we wanted to have a little fun with it. Eridan and Sollux will go through a teleporter, get a little scrambled, and come out looking like this (http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/14046870418/1/tumblr_lw0ryoFoHf1qfcr73). Wings and shit are already in troll DNA anyway so it's not too far a leap! There will be no God Tier powers associated with this change; it is almost entirely superficial. Eridan will be able to fly but that's about it.

Nature of Item: Credits! About fifty or so. Because the Tachikoma isn't yet really aware of the gateway nature of the credits system it considers this a minor test and will probably at some later date go in and counterfeit a few thousand and get in trouble for it.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: hacking into and falsifying data on the conveniently insecure Sacrosanct credits system
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: For the purchase of various items, tentatively named on the receipt as "mercenary thug".

Now that her voice has been defined by canon, let's try this again.

Your Name: Aaron
Character Name: Jade Harley
Character Journal: memorymodus
Reference Point of the Canon Update: End of Act 5 flash; immediately after breaking through the fourth wall.
How Will This Change the Character?:
Personality: Jade's self-esteem has really taken a beating from constant berating due to Vriska and other various instances. She's gotten a lot less self-confident while on the station, and this update will prove to her again that she can actually handle things competently -- she is able to juggle not only a large-scale plot to save the world, but also five entire planets and steering a ship. Thanks to the recent updates, we can also see that due to the Green Sun and the sprite coding that she now has running through her mind have made her a lot more intelligent. Not only about game mechanics and temporal physics, but also just in general -- her word choice is more grandiose, but she's still a very optimistic person willing to think the best of all situations.

Also, thanks to a merger with her dream self, she now has dog ears. And when she gets really excited or enthused about something, she woofs! It is the opposite of Jadesprite, who woofed whenever she was sad. Basically: it's still Jade's personality, just with a few dog-like qualities and an extra dose of omnipotence, as well as some game smarts.

New Powers: Remember Jade, the only kid in Homestuck who couldn't do anything related to her name, the Witch of Space? NOT ANY MORE. Jade's powers can be split up into two large categories (space manipulation and teleportation), as well as a section that is reserved for any Hero of Sburb.

Space Manipulation
Jade can now manipulate any item existing in space, or the physical plane of reality. Of course, this is too large to bring to Sacrosanct, as in canon she can now shrink entire planets to the size of styrofoam balls. I am proposing a sliding scale based on the size of the object for how long and how powerful her shrinking and enlarging actually is.

Any item larger than a three-story building: Cannot be shrunk/enlarged. This includes space stations.

Items from three-story buildings to infinitesimal size: can be shrunk or enlarged. Things that are extremely large (buildings, large boulders, ships, etc) can only be shrunk/enlarged for a period of around five minutes. This time goes up based on the size of the object, to where a human would be approximately thirty minutes, and a pebble would be about an hour. Nothing can get so small that it simply disappears, and nothing can be large enough to destroy the largest buildings on the station or touch the ceiling. Large scale shrinking or enlarging works for a shorter period of time than simply raising/shrinking something gradually; a building would stay the size of a pencil for two minutes, while a human would stay ten feet tall for fifteen.

Jade can also manipulate her own height, though it works on the same scale as a normal human being. Any manipulation of player characters will be cleared with the other player expressly before anything ever happens. In addition, like John with his windy powers, she can make objects fly. Though anything larger than a three-story building would have to be cleared with the mods and anyone whose property would be destroyed in the attempt. As Jade seems to be an okay driver, but she's only thirteen.

Teleportation

Jade can now also teleport herself and other items from one place to another at the speed of light. This I will just forgo any items larger than a normal human as being unable to teleport.Anything human-sized or smaller can be teleported across the zone that Jade is in, including herself. This will be cleared with any players beforehand who own the property/characters in question to ensure that no one ends up where they don't want to be.

Standard God Tier Powers

Along with the special Witch of Space/Sprite powers that Jade achieves, she also gets two traditional powers granted to any Hero. The first is flight; Jade can now fly when she doesn't have a need to walk. The second is immortality. Now, Jade can only be truly killed if she is killed in a heroic (ie: saving the lives of others) or just (ie: being murdered after murdering tons of people, like Vriska) manner. She will not respawn unless one of those conditions is fulfilled -- in any other case, she will simply POP BACK UP from death and be completely fine, with a clean god hoodie too!

Any Large Items?: Scale models of LOHAC, LOWAS, LOLAR, and LOFAF as well as Skaia to replace the real ones that she had captchalogued before she got here.

ALSO before I had cleared that her robotic arm could stay with her. Is that still cool? And if you have any more power restrictions, lay them on me. I just want her to get in trouble with Semley all the time.

How Your Character is Obtaining It: So, I was wondering, because I hadn't listed it within my inventory (http://cloverdaleboy.livejournal.com/792.html#cutid1), if he could have had them all along and then just checked his pockets after the shock of arriving at Sacrosanct wore off and be all "omg i haz picchers"
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: Boo hoo, I miss my family, and also to ask people on Sacrosanct HEY YOU GOT BABIES?
