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.

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.

Nature of Item: A canister, about half the size of a duffel bag. It's filled with little drawers, each embedded with tiny red vials. These are a micromachine-based virus intended to work on cyberized humans and other computer networks and systems. Canonically, it took down one of the most secure systems in a matter of minutes, and kept it down over an entire 48 hour period— a ridiculous feat.

How Your Character is Obtaining It: While searching the junkyard for something to assist in hacking her comatose lieutenant, or a spare body for herself, or anything useful really because screw credits man, she could simply find it herself.

Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item:
11:07:07 PM Mica: specifically, they're a micromachine virus, classified as "E-class"
11:07:31 PM Mica: someone uses a similar weapon against Section Nine itself, and suddenly everything turns into madagascar
11:07:33 PM Mica: SHUT.
11:07:34 PM Mica: DOWN.
11:07:36 PM Mica: EVERYTHING.
11:07:47 PM Mica: So I envision her holding up one of these little do-dads
11:09:47 PM Mica: "This is an E-class micromachine virus. If we inject this into a main node of Hypatia's AI, she'll be forced to cut the power to much of the station— at minimum, an eight-hour window of downtime."
11:10:39 PM Mica: "During that time, she won't be able to track our movements with the surveillance system. She'll have to send in scouts from the powered sections of her consciousness, just like anyone else."
11:10:41 PM hikuswing: that could be a fun plot device for the special plot mission thingy
11:10:50 PM Mica: yes~ that is what I was thinking.
11:10:51 PM hikuswing: idk suggest it in events?
11:10:56 PM Mica: roger roger

To paraphrase: During the hopefully not canceled "hack Hypatia and find out what's going on" plot set up at the meeting on Asphodel with Lev, this weapon could be used to black out a portion or indeed the whole station (depending on mod opinion/rulings) and give the team a window of opportunity to sneak in.

Just an interesting plot device. Thoughts?

Thank you for your patience while the mods deliberated on your plot idea. We regret to say that we can not approve it at this time.

A virus that shuts down Hypatia's systems would also shut down key functions such as gravity, the teleporters, and most importantly, life support. This would effectively kill any organics without a pressurized suit and air supply ready for such an event. It would also kill all the wildlife (including plant life) in the garden zones.

While we are not entirely opposed to the idea, we ask that you detail the specifics before resubmitting it. Thank you for submitting!
