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: Three things. L-LMAO I KNOW SORRY they won't happen all at once, I swear. First is that I would like to have Hypatia's little robotic helpers to move A.M. to semi-permanently live in Garden Zone 12, if possible, since the environment there is something more familiar to A.M. The second is that I would like for A.M. to begin to rebuild his complex, which would probably take up the majority of the Garden Zone. If this size is not suitable, it can be downsized, but the ultimate desire is that A.M. has reconstructed most of his capabilities at some point. The third and final request is for A.M. to attain a separate bionic body that he can upload himself into.
How Your Character is Obtaining It: A.M. will do the reconstruction of his complex himself through material from the junkyard. The move is from Hypatia's little helpers. The body is something I imagine would be purchased?
Briefly Explain the Intended Purpose of the Item: The body is for A.M. to be able to move around and explore in more freely. The move is more because the environment is preferred by A.M. The complex is to re-empower A.M. for an upcoming event I am in the progress of working on.

Your first and third requests are Approved. However, before we can green light your second request we'll need to address an issue with the size of it and get a better idea of the complex you had in mind.

Garden Zones are analogous to a state in terms of size, the idea of a character reformatting the majority of a single zone is unfortunately not possible. We request you limit the complex to a size in the neighborhood of a few city blocks. Also, please provide a more detailed description of his complex, how it will translate into the new environment, how it could impact other characters, and a rough idea of what you have in store with it.

The complication is that the literal size of A.M. in his canon is 387 million miles, which is extremely sizable. But I am definitely okay with minimizing his size to something of a few city blocks.

The idea of his complex is that he is in complete control of the area, so the other idea is that he creates a giant dome to harbor himself in, which can be the size of a neighborhood or two. Inside of his complex, A.M. is capable of utilizing nanites to repurpose the area to his choosing. So he would be incapable of actually affecting anything outside of his own complex, but within it. These factors can be downplayed or only in place for the sake of the plot if that's also required since I understand that, while only able to do as he pleases in his own arena, it's still kind of a lot of power.

The idea I have in its extreme outline is that he will, eventually, kidnap approximately five people in order to put them through a personal hell and torture them. The complex can be used again in the future, or outright destroyed if that's necessary.

Approved! Though we'd like to make clear that while A.M. is permitted to reformat an area of his chosen garden zone, it would be because Hypatia wouldn't see it as a direct threat. She reserves the right to decide otherwise, but as long as you go through the proper player permission channels then you are free to do your freaky Harlan Ellison thang.

That all works for me. Thank you very much.
