Canon Point: At the end of the Doctor Who Classics review, wherein Linkara has just teleported out of the dimension he exiled Vyce to.

Setting: The world of Atop the Fourth Wall isn't too different from our own at first glance.

Personality: Describe your character's personality. This would include their outlook, motivations, general experiences, and anything you feel necessary in order to communicate who they are as a person. Referencing events in their canon to support your interpretation is encouraged, but please don't provide pure summary without analysis.

For characters with little canon information, this section is especially important. Without much canon to fall back on, we need to see that you've thought out the character in a consistent way that's well-supported by whatever information is available. Minor characters almost invariably require extrapolation from pure canon to become fully-realized; this is the section where you should lay out that extrapolation.

Abilities and Weaknesses: Please outline, even if just in list format, your character's skills and/or capabilities, as well as their weaknesses. We would also like to see suggestions for power limitations if applicable. Please see below for details about what this entails.

Notes On Power Limitations: If your character has extraordinary and game-breaking abilities, such as teleportation, time manipulation, magic, telepathy, a gun that blows up planets, or anything that puts them at a significant advantage over every other character in the game, we would like to see your suggestions for power limitations. Singularity does not forbid powers, but we would like players to think of this as the setting for stories. Every character should have their ways of triumphing and every character should have ways of being defeated, even if they were the most powerful individual in their original setting, because we want to create plots and CR that are more than just "this guy is the most powerful guy ever and no one can stop him from doing what he wants." This goes for heroes as well as villains.

We want to see your suggestions for limitations because you, the player, would know best how to level down a character without making them unrecognizable or unplayable. You are welcome to lock abilities, downgrade overpowered weapons or items, or even AU weaknesses that don’t exist in canon--for example, playing a vampire character who suddenly finds the blood of willing victims far more nourishing than that of the unwilling. Another suggestion would be a ‘shot limit,’ where some ability that used to come naturally to the character in canon suddenly becomes extremely difficult and physically taxing and can only be used so many times a day. For powers like teleportation and telepathy, we have in the past asked players to keep these abilities confined to whatever zone or city the character is currently in.

As a rule of thumb, if your character has any kind of destructive ability that would damage the station significantly, like a hull breach, or kill another character without them being able to stop it, you want to limit that ability. Blowing up buildings is fine, as any involved characters may be able to escape such damage. Instant kills and blowing up entire cities are not fine.

Please note: If your character has any kind of ability that would directly affect another character in a way that can’t be countered, such as a telepath who always knows where everyone is all the time, you the player must always ask OOC permission of the other involved player(s) when your character uses that ability, whether or not that ability is being limited. An example of an ability that can can be countered is super strength, and this would not require OOC permission from other players to use. Mind powers, reading the future, telekinesis, and abilities like time manipulation cannot be countered and thus require OOC permission before they are used in-game.

The mods and app team reserve the right to recommend greater power limitations than what has been suggested by the player when they deem appropriate.

Inventory: There is no real limit to what characters can come in with, but please provide their starting inventory, including any weapons or other devices. Players can always acquire other items from the Junkyard.

As with powers, if your character regularly carries a conventional item of ridiculous destructive capability around (is that a canister of anti-matter in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us?), we ask that it not come through the Rift with them, or that it be damaged or reduced in power.

Appearance: This is most relevant for characters who do not have a canon appearance, or who are altered when brought to Sacrosanct. If using a PB, please provide the name and a link to a photo in addition to a description. Characters without bodies may be given them, or some other kind of mobile platform.

Characters with unconventional appearances, like the tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell or some of the more out-there Transformers designs also benefit from having a visual aid.

Age:
