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.

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

Approved! Sorry that took so long.

Your Name: Surge
Character Name: Kanaya Maryam

Reference Point of the Canon Update: From here (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005442)
How Will This Change the Character?: Wow. Uh.

Kanaya is now a Rainbow Drinker, which is basically the troll version of a vampire. She has covered the hole Eridan blasted in her stomach using his own cape, leaving it flowing behind her like some bizarre ribbon-esque thing. Rainbow drinkers apparently survive by drinking the blood of the living or dead (though whether they are restricted to trolls has yet to be seen). From what we see of Kanaya, they glow based on emotion; as she is vibrant when she is angry (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005424), and seems to dim down and simply become pale (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005442) when she has finished fighting.

She is a lot stronger after becoming a rainbow drinker, kicking Gamzee so hard in the nethers that he flies out of his shoes and accessories and off a cliff. She punches Vriska across a room, snaps Eridan's wand in half, and chainsaws him clean in half without the blade even snagging on organs. There doesn't seem to be any sort of unexplained healing effect on her stomach hole, though I imagine the more blood she drinks, the quicker it will heal. Or Sacrosanct can fix it.

Kanaya seems more willing to fight now, as she does take all three of them out with extreme prejudice. Still, she is kind to her friends as she happens to drink from Terezi but kindly puts a bandage on her neck. Her concern for her friends is also noticable in that she takes out Gamzee (who killed Equius and Nepeta[?]) first, then Vriska (who killed Tavros) and finally Eridan (who killed Feferi, herself and their species). The order seems to be random but either way it looks like she’s getting revenge for the dead.

In game interactions will change in that she feels more sadness towards the deaths of her friends (Equius, Tavros, Nepeta[?] and Feferi) and would be unwilling to tll them about their inevitable demise. She will hold a good deal of hatred towards Eridan for killing her and dooming the trolls by destroying the matriorb. As for Gamzee and Vriska, her CR with them would interfere with most negative memories, and she will still regard them as a friends and people who she needs to keep an eye on just in case. In a platonic way of course.

She will probably be depressed after being angry, and will most likely enter back into Sing only to make a Location: Roof log before having a discussion about her fangy little problem with her friends. If any new rainbow drinker powers come along during the rest of the series, I will be sure to notify a mod before allowing her to use them.

Any Large Items?: Her inventory will be updated to consist of a broken Matriorb instead of the whole one she has now, her blood covered lipstick/chainsaw, and possibly a snapped in half wand. I will have to check with Eridan-mun and answer the mods about the latter.

Oh and OBVS this will take place after she dies in the uber Jack battle. It will take her about a week maybe? Is that fine?

Edited 2011-02-27 04:21 (UTC)

Totes fine. Sing needs more vampires.

I'd like to up the date of my canon update to either this Friday or this Saturday.

Any Large Items?: She will also be coming in with Equius' broken sunglasses. The wand will not be in her sylladex at all, as it will have been stolen by Yukari in her miniplot.

Today/Saturday is fine too.
