An image in pinks and oranges of an annular space station orbiting a small planet studded with towers that reach into space. Other planets hover nearby, and a few stars show through the nebular dust in the background.

so, you've died

When a character dies, they are respawned from the last teleporter they went through. Likewise, if characters attempt to leave Asphodel's orbit in a shuttle, Hypatia will remotely detonate the shuttle after 48 hours, and trigger spontaneous discorporation of the character's atomic structure, after which they'll respawn like under any other circumstances.

Respawn works by recreating a character from their fundamental atomic state at the moment they pass through a teleporter. Hypatia stores all of this information in her visitor database, checked against previous records and updated for its certification. The backup includes the exact state of a person's brain chemistry and cognition patterns at the moment of teleportation, so it acts exactly like a save state.

When a character dies and respawns, they will have forgotten everything that happened to them after going through that last teleporter. Note that this does not affect either in-game events or other characters' memories, but just that of the character respawning. Players are still completely accountable for any effect this may have on their CR.

While we don't expect players to keep track of every single teleporter characters go through, we'd like players to give at least a best guess of how much time they have lost. This helps not only the mods but also the other players your character has CR with.

There is no limit to the time between death and respawn. It may be instantaneous, or it can be up to several weeks later (if players want to use it for a hiatus).

NOTE: Respawning is an experimental technology. One possible risk for respawning is accidental mutation. While the risk is small (below 0.00001%), and most mutations are harmless and invisible (the average human has over 100!), on occasion these can be dangerous (or embarrassing). At the moment it is left up to player discretion whether respawning will cause a defect. If the mods feel a character is dying and respawning too often, they may insist on a penalty.

Fill out the following form to report your character's death:

IMPORTANT! To keep this page clean, for all first deaths with a character, make a new comment. For all subsequent deaths, reply to your own comment. This will help things stay organized and expedite the process for players.

mutations and illness

Mutations gained from respawning can range from invisible mutations to skin conditions, allergies, impaired senses, etc. Major disabilities and life-threatening conditions like blindness, impaired motor function, bone deformities, and cancer are all possible, but need mod approval, and should be treated respectfully.

Please keep in mind that Sacrosanct's medical facilities and the Underworld's illegal medical markets can both cure or effectively treat most conditions quickly and painlessly. All life-threatening conditions (for example, major organ failure) are treated immediately in Sacrosanct's hospitals, regardless of the character's work credits. Non-life-threatening defects, on the other hand, might require work credits to fix, or a heavy favor with someone in the Underworld.

abusing respawn

We want the respawn system to be fun and helpful without opening it up for exploits. The following are things we consider abuses of the system:

Excessive deaths in a very short time frame.
Spawncamping, whether or not it's a legitimate IC strategy.
Using respawn to escape consequences of character actions.

As stated elsewhere, in-character actions mean in-character consequences. Whether a relationship or a murder plot, players cannot use respawn-induced amnesia as a CR reset. Characters are always accountable for their crimes, regardless of whether they remember them. As for relationships with other characters, let us remind you that amnesia never saved anyone's love life.

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

Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: Unfortunately, Cindy hasn't gone through one since she showed up with Jack.
Major CR or Development Affected: Well, Cindy won't remember none of you except Jack, who she will now be convinced is a Houdini Splicer and capable of teleportation. This means she's apt to try kidnapping trolls again, or likely to approach the Spartans and not afraid of them. This doesn't change too much since she doesn't exactly have...social CR with anyone except Mayu, and her reactions to Mayu will be exactly the same even without the previous CR.

Character Journal:

machine_god
Your Name: Teal
Date of Death: First one is ... 3/18; next set will be on the 24th (see below)
Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: 3/18 - SHODAN had her brains all up in all the teleporters of Zone 7; so she has multiple memory backups there. Memories closer to her "death" will be corrupted due to half a dozen hackers all up in her grill trying to fry her brains, but she'll have the gist of "people murdered me >( "

3/24 - SHODAN will be in an organic body (WELP) and will be trying to kill herself to reset into her "proper" body. She'll try this about five or six times before she figures out that this isn't going to work.

Major CR or Development Affected: None, actually.
What Number Death is This For Them?: 1, then 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 :|
Are You Giving Them a Mutation?: The last respawn will give her blue eyes instead of green and a mild allergy to shellfish (nasal congestion, hives, nausea, and swelling of the lips)

Character Name: HAL 9000
Character Journal:

im_sorry_dave
Your Name: Surge
Date of Death: 11/30
Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: Just a little before his accident with Virgil
Major CR or Development Affected: None really, everything he neded was on the network.
What Number Death is This For Them?:1
Are You Giving Them a Mutation?: No

Date of Death: A little before SHODAN's. Probably about a day, so 3/17?
Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: Like SHODAN, he has multiple back-ups of what exactly went on in his sector. He'll remember what happened to Vaultie, but not how he died.
Major CR or Development Affected: To be stated at a later date, since the log is in progress. Suffice to say, probably not much.
What Number Death is This For Them?: 2
Are You Giving Them a Mutation?: Nooope.

Date of Death: 03/26
Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: Just before this log (http://community.livejournal.com/singularitylogs/64233.html)
Major CR or Development Affected: He won't remember killing Virgil or getting murdered by Shepard? Virgil when he respawns? Point is he'll be dead and he won't remember what he did. Also, he'll be totally miffed at Prism. HE KNOWS WHY
What Number Death is This For Them?: 3
Are You Giving Them a Mutation?: As a punishment for assisting SHODAN as well as other misdemeanors (probably attempting to leave the station and murdering other inhabitants) HAL is going to be regulated to a biosynthetic body for about a month.

Because he isn't as pants-on-head self-loathing as SHODAN, he will not be mutilating himself and repeatedly trying to off himself. He also won't be panicking like Prism. He'll just be mildly resigned and OH GOD IT'S BLACK-TWO.

Date of Death: 8th May
Estimated Time Since Going Through a Teleporter: An hour or two
Major CR or Development Affected: Nothing outside the murderlog (http://singularitylogs.livejournal.com/80558.html).
