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.

Your Name: Teal!
Character Name: Bro Strider
Character Journal:

puppetfetishist
Nature of Item: GIANT FISHTANKS and also accouterments.

Basically Bro wants to modify part of Casa del Strider into two or more large but connected fish tanks for the resident sea dwellers. These would be additions onto the apartment.

If I were to ask for my ABSOLUTELY IDEAL TANKS, it would be fantastic if one or more walls of said tanks could be adjusted to be opaque or transparent as the user wishes, and if the tanks could be reshaped in some way - so for instance, if someone who can't breathe water wanted to come visit, the owner of the tank could create a tunnel in the water, or a bubble, for that person to sit in. If the walls were selectively permeable so people could step in and out of the tanks at will (think the Gungan bubbles in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace don't lie you saw that movie too guys)

The reshaping and permeability isn't necessary and if I have to choose I'd rather just have walls that can be set to opaque or transparent as needed.

At least one of the tanks needs a ridiculous little castle (http://www.tropicalfishtanksonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/fish_castle.jpg). As would some fish / cuttlefish / octopi.

Finally, some way to waterproof wearables would be awesome.

How Your Character is Obtaining It: Bro would be working with Sollux to hack the necessary credits and game the system to build this thing. I imagine that it could be done with a very careful combination of force fields and lots of interesting equipment from around the station.

Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: Dave and Feferi have gills; sometimes they want to breathe water (and sometimes it's easier than breathing air). This would be so both of them can have a comfortable environment at home.

Also it looks cool.

I KNOW I JUST MADE A REQUEST and I'd rather have this one first if possible!

been pointed out to me that we probably need a bigger space first x_X; So I suppose hold on this till we get THAT done.

As long as they're in the 20-49 credit range (giving them luxury housing) they can have fishtank apartment. For the aforementioned 'ideal' tanks, solid holograms would have to be used, which would bump the expense into the 50-99 range. (Unless a different method of acquiring the hologram technology is found of course ohoho)

thweeeet.
