Trial Announcement & Sign Ups

Do you like bodyswaps? Do you like vaguely Jumanji-esque games?

Because, SURPRISE, I'm going to run a bodyswap jumanji-esque games from Thursday 5th September (start time is 12pm PST) through to Saturday 7th. There'll be a mixture of silly party-game shenanigans, and physical challenges and obstacles. Along the way, they'll have to try to work out who their groupmates really are.

Please sign up by September 3rd if you intend to play! I need time to organise the swaps, and you need time to make your temporary journals. Additionally, remember that who's who is supposed to be a ~mystery~.

Use this guide for the stat sheet, ignoring intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. These specific mechanics may or may not make it into the game, I am being prepared.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Faito
Team: Ginger
What's it like to be your character?: She's a 100% normal human girl, albeit one in very good shape! (That's what you get when you've had a space marine as a personal trainer for years). Stronger than you'd expect from looking at her.
Powers and abilities: She has a magic necklace that's bound to her soul, and would be completely unusable by anyone else. This is more a note to please not lose it.

Strength: 18
Constitution: 14
Dexterity: 18

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Cat/Aphra
Team: Thyme
What's it like to be your character?: Cat is a human, but her body is slightly off baseline in that her ancestors made deals with deep-water gods so that they become fish-people at middle age. Cat’s senses are dialed up as noted in powers. Certain smells, like cigarette smoke, are uncomfortable enough to be irritants. Her body also has incredible ability to deal with salt, and as a result, her baseline for tasting it is low. Cat already has some affinity for water to the point where hot and dry conditions are more uncomfortable for her. She’s also slightly ‘off-model’ relative to a baseline human.
Powers and abilities: Enhanced senses: Cat can see in anything short of total darkness. She’s been able to hear conversations conducted at a whisper from some distance. She can smell things such as figuring out her friend had slept with the FBI agent they were working with the prior night based on scent.
Stats: Cat is stronger, tougher and faster than she looks — she looks like a skinny woman with no particular strength. Her healing speed is higher than normal: not Wolverine I-can-see-wounds-close, but she’s back on her feet quickly, and resistant to physical shock from things like blood loss.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Eliza Aberdeen
Team: Thyme
What's it like to be your character?: Average human in good shape. Runs a couple miles every morning, does yoga and some weights. How does she have this much energy when she needs a nap this badly, please give her coffee.
Powers and abilities: Can turn into a wolf!! Eliza's own magic and her familiars are directly attached to her soul so they won't come with the body, BUT BAD NEWS IS her body needs that magic to live. Occupants with magical souls will find that it fills a field the size of her body, giving a natural resistance against outside magics that try to breach that barrier, including mind-reading and most healing (but pods are OK.) Occupants withOUT magic are going to have a body flu until they find Eliza or another magic field to bask in. Healing magic WILL work short-term for them.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Felix
Team: Thyme
What's it like to be your character?: The wings are heavier than they look because they're massive. He also has a naturally quick step that's almost like gliding. He's got a good bit of physical strength since he's quite toned. He also has claws and fangs, which may feel strange at first. Be careful with the back of his neck as his brand is sensitive to the touch. Otherwise, he's average height and weight and has his scarred eye and chest, as explained in his profile. (He's also possessed but that's too messy to swap so no berserker boost for you!)
Powers and abilities: Flight. Using his sword, he can use blasts of purplish black ice spikes to steal the will to fight from his opponents. Must summon sword from amulet and if anyone else touches sword, it will immediately revert to amulet. Can use his own blood to heal humans, can't heal himself or other demons. Can turn into a wolf. Enhanced speed, think pro speed runner. Remarkable cat-like agility. As a note, he is a demon so all his powers are dark magic. Therefore, he is weak to light magic in a fight.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Peter Parker / Finn
Team: Jasmine
What's it like to be your character?: Being in Peters body would feel exactly like a normal person ... except for his powers, so differences will be outlined in the part below.
Powers and abilities: Peters posses: super strength, enhanced speed, reflexes, durability, agility, stamina, sense of balance and accelerated healing. These are things that are ALWAYS present for Peter but may only be felt in situations where they're required (like if your character is trying to, idk, run really fast or stay upside down). Peter also has his spider-sense, which sense upcoming danger. When the Spider-Sense triggers, it feels like a sharp headache. The stronger the danger, the stronger the headache. It also works directionally so it gets stronger the closer it is, and weaker the farther it is.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: 80H
Team: Jasmine
What's it like to be your character?: link here I am so sorry for whoever gets her.

But to answer one question: yes she can see through her blindfold and some of her settings icly look like video game menus.
Powers and abilities: Good lord we will be here all day.

Part of her powers is also in the above link.

She is a magical girl android mermaid ghost. (original character dns!!) She does not need to sleep, her frame is incredibly durable, she can lift several hundreds of pounds with no effort, has fast reaction times and reflexes, enhanced durability, dexterity. She can turn into a wolf and understand and speak to snakes. She is stronger by, or better yet in water. (rain counts)

She can breathe underwater, but anyone coming into her body will likely not have access to the magic that helps her to swim very well and will likely sink. Her body has an incredibly high capacity for magic and it processes it efficiently as well. If you're a magic user you will likely see a surprising power and efficiency boost in your spells, especially if they are water or ice spells. Trying to cast fire will just end up with hot water. Spells will likely also hit harder and you can cast more. You will be weaker to fire but will be able to stand the coldest of places no problem.

Her body is limited to water, aether, and non-aspected magic.

She has accelerated healing. Bruises and small cuts fade in scant hours.

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Crow Armbrust
Team: Licorice
What's it like to be your character?: Being in Crow's body is largely like being in a normal one, just one at very good physical condition. He's fairly strong and has excellent reflexes. He's got a couple of scars on his chest-- one older one (at least a few years) and one really recent (from during his time on the train). He's got some tension he carries with him, but less than it used to be thanks to a certain masseuse.

Powers and abilities: His body will have his ARCUS with him (which allows him to cast Arts, which is like magic but isn't actually magic) and his inventory, but it would likely be difficult to access/use those without knowing how.

~*~STAT SHEET~*~
Strength: 22
Constitution: 21
Dexterity: 21

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Agent Washington/Dusk
Team: Clover
What's it like to be your character?: There are definitely aches and pains. He has a ton of scars, his torso is mostly scar tissue at this point from an assortment of bullets/bombs/fires/blades/lasers. So aches in old scars and joints, but he's still a capable super soldier. He's got a carbide polymer infused to his bones, and he has two chips and an open port on the back of his neck.

Otherwise excellent reflexes, excellent vision, used to handling all sorts of weaponry and doing parkour.

Powers and abilities: Is a super soldier! His bones are near unbreakable, he needs less sleep, needs less food, and has excellent vision and good night vision. He can flip a several ton vehicle back onto it's wheels and basically lift a large long on his own. He's got like a six foot vertical leap.

The man is basically a living cockroach. As long as someone has the mental fortitude to work through the pain, he's gone through several explosions, stabbings, and getting shot and kept moving. Though hits to the head can take him down pretty easily compared to several grenades, though it takes a few to keep him down for any decent length of time.

Because AI head implosions, he has the ability to take in all details around him and remember with perfect clarity, but it's also a headache to try and do this. It's basically a human brain trying to be a computer and it's not recommended. The details are there, processing it is hard, and trying to attempt processing that level of details will cause him to zone out completely. Just in case you want to play with weird head things. It is possible to just function normally or even with a headache as adjustment pains.

He has a magic necklace that's bound to his soul so someone else probably can't use it, but please don't lose it. He also has a Fate Command Seal on his person and I don't know if that's body bound or soul bound. I will find out!
