Survival is the exception
"living is an act of courage."

THROUGH THE INGRESS

The Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a rocky planet.

Former crew of the Moira are there to greet you, and it’s a grim message they have to share. The Moira has crashed and is beyond repair, but there’s good news... the destination the crew has been heading towards for over a year? You’re standing on it. But before you get into exploration and survival, it’s best to deal with the effects of coming through a broken Ingress.

☄ slip and trip
find your footing fast
Coming through the Ingress has left your character with one of three changes - an age slip, a form of body horror, or an extreme weakness. The first, the age slip, will mean that the character is either older or younger and this change can’t be rectified during their first month in game. The second, body horror, comes in the form of an alteration to the character's body due to whatever they were carrying at the time they came through. If they were wearing a watch, it’s now fused to their wrist, clothes are permanent, knifes replace fingers, and many other alterations (anything goes) and it lasts the first month as well. The third, extreme weakness, can be a mental or physical decrease - weaker arms, legs, or the weaker ability to talk or do math.

ooc: the choice of change is up to each player and this prompt can be game canon.

☄ introductions aren’t awkward
as long as you don’t shake their hand too long
A new planet. Physical and mental changes. Talk of a ship that crashed and a Hub that is home to the ‘creators’ of a technology you’ve never heard of. A lot is happening and the best way to sort through it is by getting to know the Moira’s crew. They’ll help you settle in and get you any care you might need, all the while informing you that the group is on its way to the center of the hub. Something that might seem mundane is an absolute necessity for survival. Ask a seasoned space traveling veteran for answers and guidance.

☄ dealer's choice
just make the right one
Characters have the option of coming through an Ingress that is any possible location on this planet. It can be inside a cave, at the top of a rock formation, etc. This means you can have your character have to climb or slide down, have them yelling for help, and have other characters see them and come to their aid. Your character's arrival is completely up to you, and since this is a unique situation that hasn't happened before, go nuts with it!

Course you are, you little shit.

Were you expecting me to go along with your realistic ideas?

Well you're like five so I can't expect much.

I may have the body of a child, but my mentality is much older. [glaaare.

oh, god.

he looks so

adorable]

.........You don't say.

... [Okay, you asked for it, Badou.

Another BAMF and the little blue mutant is gone, reappearing a few moments later right on top of the older male's shoulders, tiny arms looping around his head.]

[nice job because now you get a screeching Badou who wobbles and flails]

WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE, SUB-ZERO!?

[This is fine because he'll just tighten his arms, grip his shoulders with his toes, and wrap his tail all the way around Badou's torso.]

Who's Sub-Zero?

THIS IS REALLY GROSS, GET THOSE TOES OFF OF MEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[and now he's spinning]

He's a video game guy!

[Just his toes? He can work with that by loosening his feet and lowering his hands to hang on instead, lifting his legs into the air.

Although, the spinning kind of disorients him, so he pushes off Badou's shoulders and lands on his feet a few paces away.]

Never heard of it.

[he'll spin twice more before he realizes that weight of Kurt isn't up there.]

Well no surprise you're deprived, then.

[Yeah, he's been crouched for a couple of moments now, elbows propped up on his knees and his chin in his hands.]

I'm from the eighties - nineteen eighty-three, to be exact.
