Species Swap Event Information!
Run Dates: March 10th through 24th
How it works:
The Cause:
The Lambda serves not only as a portal, but as an extension of chaos into the realm of Re/Aligned. It sustains itself through the will of a multidimensional being, and contains a great amount of matter and energy because of this.
Always, the force behind it is seeking to cause more chaos.
Having realized that merely sending monsters after you time and time again has proven ineffective, this time its trying something new. You can't help build Cybertron and ally with its enemies if you aren't yourself, after all.
The Beginning:
The Lambda will begin exerting its nefarious influence over the residents of Re/Alignment starting at midnight EST on March 10th. You are welcome to have your character swap immediately at this time, or you can wait until a time of your choosing--all the way up to the event end on the 24th if you wish.
The change will happen suddenly--one moment, your character may be going about their daily business and the next find themselves in a completely different body. This can be painful or not, but at the least it will be disorienting for approximately fifteen minutes, and characters may feel as if they were struck by lightning or smell the lingering scents of fire and ozone.
The Impact:
Once changed, your character may or may not find themselves appropriately clothed/armored. The Lambda contains enough mass to provide garments and accessories for its creations, but it is not always completely accurate about when and where these are applied.
Cognizance, as well, has been doled out sporadically. Your character might be fully themselves within an alien body, finding no instincts and completely at odd with their new form or, conversely, they may find themselves lost to it completely, retaining only the bare essentials of their old personality. The amount of character left in your character is completely up to you to decide.
The only constant, in fact, is the link devices you were gifted upon your awakening. For whatever reason, your character will find their communicator sized to their new form and able to be used by it (or potentially on a collar, where applicable.)
The Resolution:
As the Firstforged will become aware of this intrusion of the Lambda into their safe haven, they will be working to disrupt the energy it is emitting and return their Refugees back to the way they were. They may call for volunteers during the Event, so if you are wishing your character to change back early then all they need do is get in contact with their respective Firstforged.
Otherwise, all characters will witness a particularly bright 'firework' exploding in the air above central Haven on the night of the 24th, and will find themselves back in their correct bodies by the 25th.
Rules/Restrictions:
IE-the fun part.

Rules/Restrictions:
IE-the fun part.
- First off, if you are participating in this event you must fill out the text box below and post it to this entry for every character that is participating. You don't have to make a separate comment for each character, but we do need to know who is involved.
- Your characters may not participate in the event until a mod has approved your sign-up comment. Ideally, make sure your sign-up is posted at least a day before you intend to swap so we have time to get to it (which means if you want to start playing on the 10th, get your sign-up in by the 9th.)
- As this is a Species Swap, the creature that your character is turning into must be actual species (IE your character can't turn into a rock, but they can turn into a rock-biter). If this is not a common species (such as a dog) then it might be helpful to put a link to information about this species in your sign-up, or to explain its attributes a little.
- Your character's new form must be no bigger than 50ft in any one direction. They should also adhere to the power requirements in our FAQ. Generally, if you're not apping a sentient planet or a Reaper, you're probably okay.
- As always, if your character becomes capable of serious trauma of any sort (mental or physical), please get permission from other players to use those abilities on their characters.
- The event ends on March 24th. This means that there may not be any additional event threads starting at midnight EST on March 25th. You may continue back-tagging existing event threads for as long as you like, however.
