REQUESTS.

R E Q U E S T S

Sometimes, you just need a little something from home—and this is just the place to get it. Players can request items from their home worlds here, which will appear onboard after the next jump. Most items will be allowed on board with no problems, but handheld superweapons, mystical artifacts, and other similarly-powered items may need their power reduced before they can be approved. In addition, Ataraxion does not allow items from other game worlds. Requested items should be from characters' home worlds only.

Items should not be requested in preparation for specific plots or events. We cannot give out weapons advance of a plot where weapons would be necessary, and this extends to all other plot types such as requesting alcohol or clothes for a party. Please use alternative routes, such as existing resources and character skills on board the ship to achieve these items - if this is not possible, please discuss the matter directly with us.

An unpleasant item may be gruesome, grotesque, supernatural, or distressing. It may also cause them injury, or injury to the other possessions in their locker, so please be aware of that when signing up. Items will not be canon-based: they will be assigned randomly from a pre-decided list, but players are free to also request items from home as per the usual. To avoid over-saturation, the assignments will also include notice of the jump when the item will appear (optimally within three months of the sign-up.)

Canon updates & backdates should also be requested through this page.

All requests come into effect in game with the Tranquility's jumps. As such we hold a cut-off date of midnight, 5th of each month for you to have your requests processed for the next jump - any requests submitted past this time will be deferred for the next month. Even beyond this, while it is generally the case that item requests will come into effect on the jump immediately following the request being submitted, we may also stagger arrival to a different jump. Please contact us if this causes any difficulty.

PLEASE NOTE newly accepted characters cannot receive item requests until the second month after their arrival!

Item Requested:
x1 book pf poetry by Pierre Corneille
X1 almost-empty Journal, for writing

Jean will find the book of poetry and the journal in his locker!

C A N O N U P D A T E
Your Name: jesse
Character Name: wesley gibson
Character Journal:

target

New Canon Point: post-Weapons of Fate
Reference: [game history] and [wiki page]
How will this affect your character? though there aren't any other huge personality changes, wesley is far more cocky by the end of the game than he was before, and while he has good reason to be paranoid of everyone around him, he's less likely to let that paranoia decide his actions for him. it leaves him more likely to talk openly around others, and less secretive about who he really is.

the biggest change that wesley does undergo during the course of the game is that he becomes far more settled in to his role as an assassin. while he may have technically already become one while he was with the fraternity, after learning the truth behind sloan's role in choosing the names for targets, wesley sort of lost any faith in the process. but that faith builds back up again when he's forced to face another branch of the fraternity and realises that there really isn't any way to escape being an assassin, seeing as it's a role he was born in to.

and if the update is accepted:

I T E M R E Q U E S T

Item Requested:

◎ TWO "fire eaters" (custom CZ-75 automatics) loaded with custom bullets
◎ TWO "heartbeats' end" blades (serrated edged, grooved knives)
◎ ONE killer suit (red goggles)
◎ TWO abstinence books (abstinence 101 and pure manhood)
◎ ONE pair of handcuffs
◎ ONE bottle of prescription anti-anxiety meds
◎ ONE white cat called annabelle

Intended Purpose: the first three items are another inheritance from his father that's kind enough to build on his daddy issues. that said, the killer suit is almost like a safety blanket to him, so it'll help to get him to talk a little more freely without his paranoia kicking in so much. basically, it opens him up to be more of an asshole than he already is. and the rest is largely just to dick with him and his closest cr.

Wesley's canon update is fine.

The weapons and suit are still being discussed, but in order to stop you being delayed from play, you may assume Wesley found the books, handcuffs, and cat in his locker after the last jump. The bottle of prescription medication will be present but empty.

Sorry about the wait!

~~I T E M~~ EXOTIC PET R E Q U E S T
Your Name: Ashlee
Character Name: Takeshi
Character Journal:

throwsdown

Item Requested: Hoi Hoi the Panda (and possibly his Gantz suit?)
Intended Purpose: A panda that died and revived to play Gantz's game. Basically, Hoi Hoi is Takeshi's bro. He's the first security Takeshi feels content with when he first pops up in the apartment. And we never learn what happens to him, and it's very very sad. It'd do the kid some good to see a familiar face from home he can confide in. Sorta. Also if it's okay, could he have his Gantz suit as well? I'd make him about Takeshi's strength, though I don't plan to have him attack anything. Except maybe monsters or something. IDK. And if he were involved in anything with said suit, it'd be a mutual player agreement and stuff.

Hoi Hoi will be found wandering the depths of the Oxygen Gardens, wearing his Gantz suit.

Character Journal:

swedge

Item Requested: Roadhouse Jukebox (full of late 70s, 80s & early 90s pop, rock and country music)
Intended Purpose: Jo is nearing murderous-rage levels of 'I HATE THIS FUCKING MUSIC' at Space Babylon (90s techno dance pop can do that to people) and she'd like some decent music to take its place.

Space Babylon will find itself with Jo's jukebox from the Roadhouse tucked away in a corner. However the CDs will be the Now That's What I Call Music! collection from #1 - #44 (UK version), with no labels or track listings.

I T E M R E Q U E S T
Your Name: Takhys
Character Name: Harry Podder
Character Journal:

thebreakingwave

Item Requested: Three basic high school level textbooks:
- one of short readings in English ("The Best of English Lit" or something similar); I'm keeping it a bit vague to make sure I've avoided all possible fourth-wally material.
- an intro to science textbook; simple stuff, what is the scientific method, how to plants/cells work, etc.
- an overview of history from 1500 onwards; who did what, when, where, and why

Intended Purpose: A little while back, Potter asked around on the network to see who wanted to learn and found out there's a lack of material handy. This would go a long way!

...also, I was a weenus and forgot to ask before the most recent jump. If this gets a go-ahead, can I just assume it came now or should I wait a month for the next jump?

Hi! Sorry about the delay, but requests placed after the monthly jump are required to wait until the next jump. So next month, Harry will find the textbooks in his locker.

Your Name: Zo
Character Name: Peter Petrelli [AU] (would simply be reverted back to Peter Petrelli [not AU] if accepted -- he would no longer be from an alternate future)
Character Journal:

triedtobe (would be transferred to

askedtobe if backdate is allowed)

New Canon Point: End of S2, to an incredibly specific point: the AU Peter comes from is a version of the future where Nathan is not shot and is able to tell the world about the existence of people with abilities. So to revert him back to his former self and set him on a different path, Peter will return to the point just before Nathan was supposed to give his conference (the conference where he is, or isn't shot depending on the timeline). Then he will be set back into the timeline where Nathan would have inevitably been shot, and canon would carry on accordingly.
Reference: 2x11: Powerless. Scroll down to the very end. (In a nutshell: Conference is Held. Nathan is shot --> normal canon, carry on to 3x1. OR Nathan is not shot --> alternate universe. It's like a choose your own adventure.)

How will this affect your character? Toooo not clog up this page for everybody with way too much text, feel free to proceed over here for my terribly painful and lengthy explanation. :D

Sorry about the wait! Peter's canon backdate is approved!

Item Requested: iMan... ignoring the awful name, it looks like this.
Intended Purpose: General protection with the bonus being that it reminds him of the time he killed his grandfather and the woman in the panel. Also the repulsor gun that is a part of it offers temptation when he gets really depressed.

Sorry for the wait. Could you please give more detail on the type and level of protection that iMan provides?

C A N O N U P D A T E
Your Name: KJ
Character Name: Charles Xavier
Character Journal:

helpmeguideit

New Canon Point: Post-film.
Reference: Ta-dah

How will this affect your character?
Let's be real, Charles doesn't change much in personality from the point he was from (just before he is shot) through the end of the movie. The biggest change that he went through is that he is now paralyzed from the waist down. He was always a bit tight-lipped about his abilities, but now - even more so. To the point where he is willing to sacrifice someone he has come to appreciate and trust in order to keep the secrets. He's also firm in his beliefs that now he will be a teacher. He has lost his best friend and his sister now, and has a greater understanding of sacrifice, too.

Charles also has started to achieve a level of zen, and perhaps is working towards forgiveness of Erik and, well... everyone. He understands now, more than ever, the level of work it will take to create peace, and what sort of sacrifices he will have to make in order to maintain his goals.

He will be coming from a point where he is still learning how to deal with being paralyzed, as well.

I would intend to bring him back like this post jump when I officially return from my hiatus.

I T E M R E Q U E S T

Item Requested:
⊗ his wheelchair

Intended Purpose: because of obvious reasons of him being handicapped and a security blanket...I'm being nice to

him ;)

Edited 2013-05-22 16:11 (UTC)

Consider Charles canon-updated after the next jump!

C A N O N U P D A T E
Your Name: Polyserena
Character Name: River Song
Character Journal:

backwardscompatible

New Canon Point: End of season 7/post-death
Reference: The name of the Doctor

How will this affect your character?
She will now remember dying to save the Doctor's life, him uploading her consciousness to a library, and effectively following him around as a ghost and finally saying goodbye to him properly. In a way, the update will be a relief. She's been dreading the day she met a version of the Doctor who was meeting her for the first time for most of her life, so having it finally happen and knowing the outcome will be good for her. It will give her closure on her life, having said her final goodbyes with the Doctor. So it will be a bit strange for her to still be abord the Tranquility with the Doctor for a while. But she's River Song and she's used to timelines turning out wonky and unexpectedly, and she's also very adaptable. If it turns out that she and the Doctor were wrong about it being her final goodbye, that's a really good thing and just being alive will help her bounce back from any melancholy. There won't be too much long-term difference to her personality.

It will give her complex opinions about death, artificial intelligence and digitisation of people and such though, since she will have spent quite some time as a digitised version of her consciousness living in the library. It'll also fix a bit of a retcon issue where we assumed that she'd met Clara at the point in her timeline that she's currently at but it now seems like she hadn't (it was a fair assumption to make at the time but River's timeline is tricky).

Consider River canon-updated after the next jump!

Your Name: Brandi
Character Name: Primrose Everdeen
Character Journal: this one!

Item Requested: I searched for specific plant/herb names that are used in the books but couldn't find the ones I needed. But basically about 5 mason jars of non-specific plants
Intended Purpose: Prim is planning on opening up an all natural clinic using techniques that she grew up learning from her mother, so these plants would go toward making things that provide simple pain relief, pulling out some poisons/venom, sleeping aids, treating infection, and helping with burns.

Prim will be able to find a variety of plants she recognizes for those purposes in the Oxygen Gardens, including aloe vera, barberry, flaxseed, garlic, gingko, ginseng, peppermint, thyme, and valerian. Those which aren't there will have seeds in storage. She will find a mason jar of sagittaria sagittifolia in her locker.

Intended Purpose: while i waffle over whether or not to update sulu, i'd like to just drop ominous hints on him and leave him to draw his own conclusions as to why he has a shirt with the captain's stripes.

Sulu will find the shirt in his locker.

There are a few spoilers that will affect her, though. Check those out here. (Linked because spoilers.)

Consider Clara canon-updated after the next jump!

Character Journal:

Item Requested:
- ( 1 ) Nimbus 1500 racing broom
- ( 1 ) gallon jug of pumpkin juice
- ( 1 ) bottle of Firewhiskey
- ( 1 ) copy of Advanced Human Transfiguration: Animagi Training
- ( 5 ) doses of Wolfsbane Potion
- ( 1 ) Harry Potter chocolate frog card

Intended Purpose: they're mostly things she'll end up giving to her friends from home here, though she won't know what the wolfsbane potion is at first, since she's never brewed it. aaand the book and chocolate frog card are just to ruin her brain a bit.

Edited 2013-06-01 09:39 (UTC)

Lily will find the book and the Firewhiskey in her locker, along with a dozen already-opened chocolate frogs, one of which will hold a Harry Potter card.

There will also be one dose of Wolfsbane potion. Given the potion is required to be drunk daily in the week leading up to the full moon, and given the implication that it does not keep well, it will be ineffective to prevent werewolf transformation.

Item Requested: One gold Mark IV MJOLNIR helmet with shattered visor from the incident when a grenade exploded in his face

Item Requested:

Intended Purpose: Because I'm an asshole. Also to fuck with Bones before I ever even remotely consider canon updating him. And the hypospray number was just to make an allusion to going on a five year trip in space. And I'm not actually sorry for the dead tribble.

Bones will find all of the items in his locker, though the medical uniform may not be so white after being exposed to the tribble.
