EVENT

[selfkismesis]

Body swap event, guys.



- Details: Basically, those pesky teleportation devices are going to fuck up, like they so often do, and when your character steps out, they may be in a body they’re not familiar with—in fact, it’ll be a body of someone else undergoing the same situation. Each character that signs up for the event will be swapped physically with another character signed up for the event. It is literally taking one brain and switching it with another— so thoughts, feelings, secrets etc won’t be switched, but things like super powers will be (strength, speed, psychic powers, etc). If you have further questions, I’ll provide a question thread so you can ask me shit.


- Dates: You have until the 22nd to sign up. After the 22nd , I’ll randomly match up each character with another (don’t worry, I’ll make sure a mun doesn’t get two of their own characters) and on the 23rd I’ll post the results and have a plotting post where you can discuss what’s going to happen. The event begins on the 25th and will last until the 1st of July. After the 1st, when your character uses a teleporter, they’ll return to their own bodies.

- Sign up: 1) <b>Character name and journal:</b> 2) <b>Describe your character:</b> (what they look like, anything they might be hiding physically, important info) 3) <b>Contact information:</b> (so the mun of whoever’s getting your character’s body can ask about things)

1) Character name and journal: Soundwave | allshock_notalk
2) Describe your character: Congratulations! You are now a 20 ft robot that can transform into a handheld tapedeck! Your super powers now include: brainwashing through music, reading minds, flying in robot mode, changing your voice, sensitive hearing, and some drones shaped like birds following your every command! Have fun trying to control those powers! You also require fuel to survive! What's your fuel? Energon. If you hate robots, this body is perfect for you!

[hammerhanded]

1) Character name and journal: Kanaya Maryam | mcfussyfangs
2) Describe your character: Kanaya is a troll, except she is also a rainbow drinker, which is basically a troll vampire. Her skin is white and it glows depending how much sun she's gotten (because canon never explains why she sometimes doesn't glow so I am guessing). She is constantly craving blood. Human blood will make her sick, troll blood provides nutrients based on caste level, with Karkat being the exception to the rule because mutant, so his blood is like an energy drink. A good one. Not Monster. Like Bawls or All City or something.

She can't hold down solid food, but liquids are a-okay. All taste is dulled, with the exception of blood. She doesn't need to breathe except to talk and do other stuff that requires air in her lungs. Her body is the temp of sun-warmed pavement at any given moment. She's also got a hole in her stomach about the size of a softball. It doesn't bleed or anything since it's healed over, but you can stick your hand right through it.

1) Character name and journal: Breakdown | hammerhanded
2) Describe your character: He looks like this and he can turn into this. Also, his hands turn into hammers. That's it. Oh yeah, and you ingest energon and shit. blah blah blah.

[thearchangel]

1) Character name and journal: Garrus Vakarian | thearchangel
2) Describe your character: 6'-something bird dinosaur alien who can't eat human food or else experience horrific allergic reactions. He is covered in scales, has head spines, talons, only three fingers on each hand... and a really stylish visor over one eye that functions as an iPod too! Also half his body is pretty badly scarred up, so enjoy that.
3) Contact information: AIM @ thisismyomnitool

1) Character name and journal: Sideswipe | stabbywheelfeet
2) Describe your character: This bad boy is a 20' alien robot with wheels for feet. Seriously. But don't worry! He has the balance to make up for it. He can also turn into a silver Corvette Stingray convertible. Yes, you will be the most stylish car on the station, congratulations. Your hands can also turn into 8' swords and you ingest energon to survive. Stay away from power lines and high voltage, or else you might feel a distinct high.
3) Contact information: Same as above!

OKAY I GOT ONE

SAY SOMEONE ENDS UP IN A BODY OF SOMEONE THEY DON'T LIKE IC-WISE AND LIKE

PUNCHES IT IN THE FACE

will the black eye still be there when she gets normal

or is that kind of thing something the players should work out

[selfkismesis]

that is something i'm leaving up to the players because wow do what you want CALL THE POLICE i dont give a fuckkkk

Seriously, though-- that's why the OOC contact is organized in this post. The main purpose of this event (besides fun) is to encourage interaction between players that don't usually interact. OOCly and ICly. So, if you want that bruise to stay? Talk it out, bros.

[hammerhanded]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Re: ???

[slenderbot]

I GOT A QUESTION.

Soundwave here deleted most of his emotional processes. If someone else ended up in his body, would they experience his same emotional/moral blankness?


edit because of rereading things. QUESTION STILL SLIGHTLY STANDS, since it's kind of a mechanical thing. :|a

[selfkismesis]

man computers how do they even work

I'm assuming that emotional processes being deleted means that his body no longer has the capability of emotion? So whoever had that body probably has some remnants or ability to recognize emotions, but because of the body's lack of ability, it's probably entirely a mental thing? Like, they wouldn't have the bodily reactions that accompany emotions.

[notromanceable]

1) Character name and journal: James Vega notromanceable
2) Describe your character: The beefiest beefcake marine to ever marine. He is built like a brick wall and covered in tattoos. He's got a sexy set of combat armor, big guns... oh, and an assault rifle too.
3) Contact information: AIM @ Stupei Iori, Plurk @ junpei_iori

[slenderbot]

karkat isn't this why you don't like robots

SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD TO ME. Lack of capacity doesn't mean forgetting what emotions are like. :|b

Re: ???

[stillshinigami]

If 'Normal guy' swaps with 'power guy', 'Normal gets' his body and his powers, correct?

Re: ???

[selfkismesis]

Normal gets the body and powers of power guy.

Example - Say Duo swaps with Magneto. Duo's got Magneto's body and his powers. He may not know how to use them properly, but he's got them. Magneto, on the other hand, is stuck in a normal guy's hot bod. He does not get to keep his powers from his Magneto body.

Re: ???

[stillshinigami]

That's what I thought. It was just phrased funny to me.

[knightofdarkness]

1) Character name and journal: Nemesis Prime / knightofdarkness
2) Describe your character: A GIANT ROBOT. Nemesis - Convoy Super Black - is a bit different from most Cybertronians though. You're made of metal and drink energon and can shoot things, but you're also made of a ~special~ metal called Alternium.

Mostly that does nothing. On the other hand, your doorwings bring you information about the very nature of the spacetime on the station - including the Rift, so unless you shut off those sensors, you may find yourself quickly overwhelmed. (Or get used to them quickly.) There's also the fact that your guns can shoot through time, and that you can actually create a time-loop once a day.

There may or may not also be a lingering ache in your chest, where that shiny new spark of yours - aka the physical manifestation of your soul - is. Wonder what's up with that?
3) Contact information: AIM @ twixtthestreams, or artoni~

1) Character name and journal: Roll Light / killswithbrooms
2) Describe your character: A NOT SO GIANT ROBOT. You are now an adorable little girl android, complete with blonde hair and little red dress! While for the most part you're...essentially...a little girl android (with strength enough and a broom enough to Break Things), pay note to some of the programming - specifically the ones noting how you can't hurt a human, and should generally follow all commands given by them. They're so subtle you may not even know they're there...
3) Contact information: Same as above!

[driftlock]

1) Character name and journal: Deadlock | driftlock
2) Describe your character: 16' tall, giant transforming robot who turns into a hovercar. He is also perennially crabby and prone to shoot things.
3) Contact information: plurk me! kyrialis Or PM or AIM zenbladeKyra.

[unchimerical]

1) Character name and journal: Zelgadis | unchimerical
2) Describe your character: Skin made out of stone (I'll suggest getting the 'always hard' jokes out of your system now), hair made out of wire. Super dense and heavy body despite being 5'10 and not that jacked-looking. Disproportionally strong, ridiculously fast, and has significantly greater innate magical abilities than a normal human, provided you know how to cast any spells. Greatly heightened sense of hearing, slightly heightened sense of smell and sight, significantly dampened sense of touch and taste. Looks fantastic in drag. Sinks like a rock if tossed overboard.
3) Contact information: drawzel on both AIM and plurk

[stillshinigami]

1) Character name and journal: Duo Maxwell [AU] stillshinigami
2) Describe your character: 5'10", well built, Short brown hair and blue eyes. On his chest and torso he sports a variety of scars, as well as one on the back of his left thigh from a gunshot wound and surgery. Anyone who takes his body is gonna probably feel run down and overtired. Probably have a little trouble sleeping. Just a little brain chemistry, post concussion syndrome. Have fun with that.

[guilloteen]

1) Character name and journal: Justin Law (CRAU) | guilloteen
2) Describe your character: Blond hair, blue eyes, nineteen, male. Turns into a guillotine (which your character will probably not be able to control have fun with random transformations). Right leg is roboleg from the knee down. Absurd amounts of scars (some injuries he died from). Major hearing loss.
3) Contact information: PM will probably work best right now.

eta: oh what the heck let's do micah as well
1) Character name and journal: Micah | hybridharvester
2) Describe your character: Pretty standard JRPG protagonist. (actual standard, not androgynous BFS-wielding parody standard) Pretty strong physically, since his primary hobbies are farming and fighting. In possession of a few magic books, and knows how to use them. Also, secretly half-monster and able to transform into a sheep.
