A curse, a curse, we're going to have a curse!

As you all known, it is Sunday again and--

Okay, no, just pulling your collective underwater leg like a very jestery shark; it is not Sunday, it is Wednesday. But this post does pertain to something happening this Sunday. Namely a curse! A curse which might need a little more set up than normally, which is why we are giving you the heads up already today.

Starting coming Monday at 0:00 am (or I guess Sunday midnight, whichever) Vatheon will be host to some body-switching hullaballo switcharoo shenanigans. Like putting on the wrong pair of underpants in the morning except more intense.

That's right: for one week, your character will be in someone else's body and someone else will be in their body.

But who, you cry? Who shall end up in my character's body? And where will my character be?

Well, that is what this post is for. Basically the switching can happen in two ways.

A, you come up with the switch yourself. You can either do a simple switch (A ends up in B's body and B ends up in A's body) or if you feel up to the challenge, you can get together with a group of players and come up with a switching chain (A is in B who is in C who resides in D etc etc) just as long as in the end everybody is in a body somewhere and all the players are in agreement and know what is happening.

However you can also choose for

B, in which we switch for you. This post will have a sign up list. So if you want to go into this blindly and have it be a surprise for you too or if you want to participate but don't have anyone in particular in mind to switch with, you can sign up here and we will randomly match people up.

To be absolutely honest, we aren't sure yet if all these switches will be simple switches or if something more complex might happen. So, what we will do is, if you sign up here (and you only need to sign up if you want us to switch for you; if you are planning a switch yourself, there is no need to) we'll have you fill in a little form, asking for some details. We'll use this to determine how everyone will end up switched around on Sunday.

Additionally, because people might end up switched with a canon or character they know nothing about, if your character is anything special or has any special powers (alchemy, weird horned alien, vampire, power ranger etc) we ask you to make a little note of this, and if possible include a link to a wiki or similar site where this character's powers or any other special things are explained. Remember, this is not for us, this is just to help out your fellow players so they will have as much information as possible when playing out the switch.

The deadline for signing up is Saturday at midnight. At which point we will try and work our butts off to get the mod update and the swap list up ASAP.

If there are any other questions or concerns, any of us (Dees, Nik or Thorny) will be more than happy to answer your questions. We'll put a question thread in this post, but you can also always nudge us over aim or plurk or whichever.

Character name: Roxy Lalonde
Character canon: Homestuck
Player name: Vivian
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Roxy has the ability to be drunk at all times without actually dying.

That's a super power, right?

but really though there isn't anything earth shattering. without her void powers being fully recognized yet she's a drunk little haxx0r chick.

OH RIGHT SYLLADEX basically she's got a Bag of Holding where everything is stored in liquor bottles. Fuck it I'll just link this and this

Character name: Hayner
Character canon: Kingdom Hearts
Player name: Pan
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: YUPPERS
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Nope \o/

Character name: Darkleer
Character canon: Homestuck
Player name: James
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
1. Darkleer is extremely muscular and tall, around 7''4 feet tall. Have fun with that!
2. Darkleer is also ridiculously superhuman strong who can bend almost any metal with ease. However, it has taken him centuries to get used to this strength. Anyone not used to superstrength will be prone to breaking anything and almost anyone. (In canon, his genetic clone Equius couldn't even touch anyone for fear of hurting them horribly.)
3. Darkleer possesses a sylladex, which in short is a magical hammerspace inventory area. He accesses his by simply thinking he needs something, and then a captchalogue card appears, possessing a complex math problem he needs to solve! Even if your character can figure out how to summon up the sylladex itself, it might be a bit harder to actually get anything out.
4. Darkleer possesses ability related to Void. This means he can make himself very hard to find both through technology or physically. Canon doesn't go into detail on his particular abilities, so I've headcanoned him as not going quite 'invisible' but people's gazes tend to just go right through him. Your character may find themself going into hiding on purpose if they're feeling particularly shy or embarrassed!
5. Physical things to note: Darkleer has very long and nice black hair (going down to mid-back) and a scar from a set of certain cat claws over one eye. (The eye itself is uninjured.)

EDIT: 6. Also if you need icons I will supply you like you wouldn't believe.

Character name: Shirley Fennes
Character canon: Tales of Legendia
Player name: Risa
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:

Uh, Shirley is the Merines meaning if you swap with her...you have a lot of different spells at your hand, a Terques, and having your hair glow blue if there's water on it. Just be prepared for a certain stalker to stalk you though.

Character name: Mickey Mouse
Character canon: Kingdom Hearts
Player name: Melissa
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Aside from his keyblade and magic, he also has the Power Slash ability, thanks to Ammy!

Character name: Ken Hidaka
Character canon: Weiss Kreuz
Player name: Famine
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure thing :|b
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
- Lots of scars. Loooots of them. Bullet wounds, stab wounds, burn scars--especially burn scars, from his lower back on down to his upper thighs.

Otoha got Ken! Where does Ken live? Otoha lives in a back room of his bar.

... Also he doesn't really... have scars but he does have some mostly healed injuries all over.

WELL I'M JUST NOTING THEM BECAUSE...THEY'RE NOTABLE he's got like nothing else really extraordinary about him, aside from being in really good shape. /just friended you on Plurk too

He has also very obviously been run through, fairly recently too. If Otoha can tell the age of wounds by scars. He made Aya stab him with his katana. ~~Seemed like a good idea at the time.~~ That's on his lower right side. Lost a kidney in that one. 8|

Ken lives with Aya, who is his partner in crime. #4 Coral Corral. ...need to put him back on that list. Anyway, Otoha will probably find it pretty sparse, he does have a soccer ball, couple cookbooks, and most notably his weapon which is that thing in the icon.

I'm going in completely canonblind, so. |Db

Character name: Gale
Character canon: Digital Devil Saga
Player name: Silk
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Yep!
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Like pretty much all DDS characters, Gale has a demon! Its power comes from the mark on his leg, and it enables him to transform into a demon called Vayu (see icon) that has the ability to use magic. The downside of this demon is that in order to keep from going crazy and attacking everyone, it requires that people be devoured. So yeah, fun times.

Also he has knives in his shoes.

Character name: Mei
Character canon: Pokemon
Player name: Lucia
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Yes~
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: She has six Pokemon, and their information can be found here~ Other than that, she's a normal human with a hammerspace bag.

Character name: Tinker Bell
Character canon: Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Player name: Althea
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Just that she's tiny and quite likely to run into people that only hear little bells when she talks. Also! She does require pixie dust to fly, so if her supply runs out (or if her wings get wet), she's landbound. They might feel compulsively drawn to build/repair things and to collect little doodads (like in the icon.)

So... would Tink by any chance enjoy being stuck in a huge, muscular troll body for a week?

Actually she probably would. She's silly like that. Let's do it! :D

Awwwww yeah, awesome!

Almost forgot!! Her pet firefly Blaze will probably be somewhere nearby :D

Character name: Tidus
Character canon: Final Fantasy X
Player name: Karma
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Tidus is capable of holding his breath for long amounts of time, over five minutes, but since this involves a lot of mental focus and control the character who ends up in his body wouldn't necessarily be able to do this...so really that's up to you. He's also a time mage and warrior, and for a more in depth description of his battle abilities look: here.

Also forget to add to the need to know that he has a broken right arm.

Character name: The Once-ler
Character canon: The Lorax
Player name: Dees
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Uh. He's just a normal dude really. He's tall? And a beanpole. When people wake up in his body they will totally wake up in very manly handmade bunny pyjamas. With a Thneed nearby.

Character name: Usagi Tsukino
Character canon: Sailor Moon
Player name: Ritsu
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: yesssh
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
- Usagi has an extensive ability to heal, which takes energy from herself, which she will feel intensely tired after, or passing out, but the coral will fix that, won't it~
- She is also in possession of the silver crystal, which is an extremely complicated and powerful jewel. It's highly fragile and strong at the same time, and it's essentially Usagi's life source. It at any time it shatters due to misuse or overuse, it will cause Usagi to die (but for the sake of Vatheon, there won't be too much of an exert on her part). The crystal is a part of herself, inside her body.
- With assistance from the crystal, she is able to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon.
- She eats A LOT, and not just any food, she's mainly dumping sweets down her system.
- Good luck with her massive amount of hair--nope, you're not allowed to cut it. It's been like that since her mother and earlier generations.
- She's also short for her age, standing at about 4"11.

Character name: Anthony J. Crowley
Character canon: Good Omens
Player name: Crystal
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure!
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
He's the Serpent of Eden an a moderately powerful demon- has (very groomed) wings that he hides all the time, can manipulate reality around him to an extent with his will, can make fireballs, turn into other forms such as a snake and "something really awful"...what have you, really.

WHO WANTS HIS BODY COME UP ONE AND ALL

... Should not be tempted...

Character name: Mrs. Brisby
Character canon: Secret of N.I.M.H.
Player name: KP
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: She is a mouse! Sentient, maybe a little dull. No super powers, nothing special about her other than her ability to talk to people.

Character name: Yosuke Otoha
Character canon: Karas
Player name: Matt
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Otoha has the Veil of Mist brush power (which is basically like time slow). Also, his soul is in an amulet he carries with him (which I still don't have a decent picture of sob) and he can't feel pain.

Character name: Ryu
Character canon: Breath of Fire IV
Player name: Matt
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: I am just going to link to his app here but tl;dr - half a soul, resistant to fire, weakness to water/ice, can transform into hybrid form which is basically a monstery form but still humanoid, can also transform into full dragon form which doesn't really look like a 'normal' dragon. Also has the Kaiser Dragon form which is currently uncontrollable.

Character name: Yukiko Kudo
Character canon: Detective Conan
Player name: Tara
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y!
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Haha Nope! ♥

Character name: Sera
Character canon: Digital Devil Saga
Player name: Shun
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: sure why not
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Your singing voice can soothe bloodthirsty cannibalistic demons and monsters, and you get to live with a whole tribe of them! Aside from that, all the fun that comes with being a young teenage girl (well, she's seven, but her body's been matured). ~~Heat may have a tendency to worry about you if you keep up the charade.~~

Character name: Selphie Tilmitt
Character canon: Final Fantasy VIII
Player name: Beth
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y!
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Selphie has a super, duper, mega load of energy forever for everyone!

Character name: Ashraf al-Mansur
Character canon: Arabesk
Player name: Snow
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: N
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
1. Raf is genetically engineered, though human as a base. He has an extra rib, the ability to see in infrared and ultraviolet -- and a sensitivity to normal sunlight that requires sunglasses --, a nictitating membrane that can cover his eyes, increased reflexes.
2. There's a scar on his right shoulder (from fox claws ~15 years ago).
3. Speaking of foxes...the snarky one that he hallucinates is actually -- though he's not yet fully aware of it -- a product of the computer chip in his brain that has a small panel behind one of his ears, and therefore will be staying with his body, not his mind.

So who *is* your PB? I am bad at recognizing faces.

Character name: Xion
Character canon: KH
Player name: Green
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: yyyyyyy
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:

Xion is a replica based on someone elses memories, and as a result her appearance shifts depending on how she is considered by the viewer. I'll leave this optional since it can be kind of a pain, but if someone wants to do something with that then we can talk \o/

Character name: Jade Curtiss
Character canon: Tales of the Abyss
Player name: Colonel
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: 1: Jade's red eyes are controlled by his glasses. If they are removed for more than 24 hours, he goes insane, then boom.

2. There is a spear sealed into Jade's right arm that pops out ~~for comedic effect~~ when needed or when his right arm is concentrated on.

3. Jade is a powerhouse spellcaster, so he has a ton of spells (Fire, Water, Dark, Air, Earth, Electricity). The small bursts of elements can be used easily (only from his hands), but the spells require incantations.

4. Jade cannot use any healing artes/spells/magic/spoons/whatever. They will backfire and cause massive explosions.

Character name: Grell Sutcliff
Character canon: Black Butler
Player name: RyuuChan
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure, why not. Makes things more interesting
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
Switching partner must know the following:
~Grell's body can change from shinigami to human and back with a set of two combs she carries on her (just in case)
~She can summon a chainsaw weapon to her side instantly
~Grell's body is male, however she is a trans-woman so while there are a few male outfits in her closet, everything in her closet is pretty much Victorian female.
~Be ready to wake up to a lot of red. She really really likes red
~She has sharp pointy teeth... Just saying.
~Grell is blind without her glasses. It's the weakness of the shinigami from the Black Butler/Kuro world.

Character name: Rita Mordio
Character canon: Tales of Vesperia
Player name: Incardine
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Blastia and Mana-based formulas are literally that - mathematical/science-derived ways to produce magical effects. As a result, most of them aren't too likely to work for users not of Rita's mind.

Character name: Walter Delques
Character canon: Tales of Legendia
Player name: Jae
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:

1) Walter is 5'7" (171 cm).
2) As a Ferines, he can breathe underwater. His hair will glow a bright blue (see icon) when submerged.
3) Eres is his equivalent of magic/physical attacks. He can use both, and his fingernails will glow.
4) He has several faded scars, including a clean cut across his left forearm and small jagged lines surrounding his legs.

Character name: Lysunder / The Summoner
Character canon: Homestuck
Player name: Vouloir
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Summoner has a good many abilities that should be taken into account.

He can fly, first of all. He has very insect like wings, they don't really bend or fold like a bird's, a bit more stiff. But he can go pretty damn fast with them. They're grown out of his back, so aren't magic or anything.

Summoner also has the ability to commune with animals. Communing means talking to and completely controlling them (using their senses and stuff as well). The power can be used on large groups of animals as well, and in canon Tavros (his descendant) has even used it to control omnipotent beasts. (All control over players needs permission of course.) His power can normally expand universes, but here, it's shrunk down to the bubble and about a good distance out from the bubble itself. If you're unsure about what sea life he can reach it's always good to ask the mods.

Summoner has HUGE HORNS. Like, they are pretty much a football field goal in size. Because of this, he can't go into a lot of doors or windows! So hope you enjoy the outside. Unless you manage to figure out his his fetch modus works because inside he has a pair of earrings that he can wear to shrink his horns down to about a regular bull's size in length.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO HIS FETCH MODUS. In Homestuck canon, a fetch modus is a type of categorizing system that puts things into a person's "sylladex". A Sylladex is kind of like a virtual bag of holding in dungeons and dragons. It holds a bunch of shit so you don't have to! Here's a link to further elaborate on a fetch modus and sylladex if you haven't had experience with Homestuck. [LINK]

Fetch modii come in different styles, and how Summoner's works is it sets up groups (like herd animals!) and each group can only have a certain amount of things in it. You don't get to pick the groups, they decide themselves (but they are usually like items, so food is together, weapons together, books, etc etc) and you never really know when one is full or not. But if an item you put in tries to enter a group that is for some reason full, it is split off and suddenly is alone. This lonely item, if it sits for too long (perhaps a few hours?) will get shoved out and destroyed (like wolves picking it off.) It shouldn't automatically do this upon having Summoner's body since he's organized his own things. But once you accidentally start putting things into his sylladex without knowing how it works, lone items my occur, and get destroyed.

Summoner has a lot of weapons in his sylladex, a lot of stored dried plants, clothing, books, but the one item you may want to try and find at some point are those triangle/triforce shaped earrings that shrink his horns to a more reasonable size.

Also he's got fangs and claws... Pretty sure that's it.

Character name: Namine
Character canon: Kingdom Hearts
Player name: Erin
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Yes/Yes 8D
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Namine has the ability to make Dark Corridors that can be used for traveling, which is because she's a Nobody (a being made of darkness and no heart). So you might feel a little...different, yes that should be the right word for it.

Character name: Yachiru Kusajishi
Character canon: Bleach
Player name: Kini
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character:
-Yachiru has a pretty big appetite and isn't too picky about food in general. (Or how it tastes or looks)
-Despite her young age, she does know how to use that sword on her hip. (Hence yes she has muscle)
-She is both very strong and very fast, but only when she uses her reiatsu
-Yachiru can sense reaitsu and pinpoint reaitsu, but never really uses it
-She really likes her sweets
-She is still a little kid and takes her naps every afternoon. (She gets grumpy without them)

Character name: Tifa Lockhart
Character canon: Final Fantasy VII
Player name: Yinza
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: y
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Uhhh... boobs? She has a scar on her chest from nearly being killed by Sephiroth, it'll show with anything too low-cut. She's totally human though so no magic or special abilities.

Character name: Aoko Nakamori
Character canon: Magic Kaito
Player name: Annabel
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: y, sure, why not?
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Aoko is somewhat athletic and lithe but is just pretty much your average everyday girl! The only thing of note is that if she catches you doing something inappropriate with/while in her body...well, you might just get hit over the head with a mop or some other sturdy object. :|

Looks like Ryu got her uh. ... Where does she stay/who does she stay with? 8D; Ryu camps out in the woods near the Embryon base.

Aoko lives in one of the two-bedroom apartment complexes with her boyfriend Kaito and some kid named Conan! She has her own bedroom, though, so he won't have to wake up next to a stranger.

...Guess it's time to brush up on her camping skills!

How will this work? For example Tatsumi wakes up in "A"s body, at "A"s home and stuff? Or he wakes up at his own home but in "A"s body?

The former - think of it as the minds/spirits are swapping overnight, but the bodies are all staying put.

XD Thanks!

Character name: Orphaner Dualscar
Character canon: Homestuck
Player name: Cnd
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Sure!
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Dualscar doesn't have any special magical powers, but he does have horns and fins and the ability to breathe water. He also has a robotic left leg, replaced from just below the knee. His fetch modus is based on the game Battleship. It's set out in a grid, such that the cards are invisible, and he has to name the row and column point he wants to hit. If he hits a ship, he can select the item he wants. But if he gets too many things, hitting all the points in a ship, it will 'sink' and one of his items will blow up.

Mindfang gave it to him.

Character name: Sollux Captor
Character canon: Homestuck
Player name: Cnd
Up for a complex switch, y/n?: Yupyup
Anything that your switching partner would need to know about your character: Sollux can hear the voices of the 'imminently deceased' in his mutated brain, is bipolar due to his physical brain abnormalities, and is also telekinetic. He has the mental power to blow up a sun, and it gives him headaches and might possibly be difficult for a new person to control. Sorry about that.

He also has robotic eyes, with various functions that happen when he moves his eyes in certain patterns to activate them. So he's got night vision and his eyes can light up and stuff. Feel free to make stuff up.

His fetch modus involves hacking. Anything your character picks up to keep WILL be put in a locked vault. Then if you want to access it, you have to hack a complex code to unlock it and get the stuff out. Oops. Uh. Have fun with that.

And he's got a terrible lisp.
