History Roleplay / Singularity

** Thane, [[Series/{{Leverage}} Parker,]] [[DCComics Damian Wayne]], [[VideoGame/TheBindingofIsaac Eve]], and [[YumeNikki Poniko]] all frequented vents to get around.

** The [[http://singularityooc.dreamwidth.org/401358.html backstory]] makes it clear that the game is set in the {{Dune}} universe, or an AlternateUniverse thereof.

* InterspeciesAdoption: [[MassEffect Legion]] found [[VideoGame/TheBindingofIsaac Eve]] digging through trash and decided to adopt her.

As quoted from the community pages, Singularity is a [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover panfandom]] science fiction [[JournalRoleplay roleplaying game]] played out between a gigantic ring-world orbital station and a planet in the pre-Eden stages of terraforming.

* AlternateUniverse: Singularity allows for (sometimes multiple) AU versions of a character in addition to the canon one. Among other things this means we had a [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} preposterous amount of Daves]] for a while.
* BackFromTheDead: As long as someone has used a teleporter, they respawn after death. [[CameBackWrong Occasionally with mutations.]]
** KilledOffForReal: Members of the Underworld don't use teleporters, so they ''do'' die if they are killed. [[HaloReach Emile]] didn't come back when he died in the assault on Hypatia, either.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Hypatia eventually started doing this to people who displease her.

** Transformers: Prime Soundwave was torn limb from limb, with said limbs scattered across the station, for using Dark Energon to control Terrorcons to find Hypatia's central database. Breakdown had his [[EyeScream other eye removed]] and Knock Out lost his Transformation Cog for helping him get the Dark Energon onto the station.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Asphodel's tunnels.
* FantasticRacism: Of every kind, to the point where "space racism" is a running joke among the players. Robots to humans, humans to robots, trolls to robots, humans to aliens...

* MindHive: Hypatia is broken up into fragments. The more homicidal one(s) generally had the reins; only the fact that they weren't ''all'' like that kept the station's original inhabitants from being completely wiped out.
* MoodWhiplash: Frequent; going from happy fun space prom shenanigans to the Franchise/DeadSpace/[=SHODANceparty=] 1 events, for instance.

* RunningGag: [[Franchise/MassEffect Zaeed]] would like to take you back to that one time...
--> "Also if this situation 'takes you back' in any way, or if you have any stories about freakish magical pregnancies that end in you being the only one to make it out alive, can you please just. Not say anything."

* ThemeNaming: The residential zones are named for scientists and sci-fi authors.

* AirVentPassageway: Used by necromorph Shepard. Also Thane and [[Series/{{Leverage}} Parker,]] more frequently.
** Also frequented by [[DCComics Damian Wayne]], [[VideoGame/TheBindingofIsaac Eve]], and [[YumeNikki Poniko]].

* BigDamnHeroes: The resolution of the SHODAN plot; the rescue of Jin; there will be others.
* BodyHorror: One word: SHODAN.

** Also Franchise/DeadSpace. The thread where Shepard became a necromorph is ''not'' for the squeamish.
** Jin's violent wing removal.
** Prime!Soundwave's dismemberment.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A large chunk of the Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} cast after SHODAN got her claws on them.
* DuelingHackers: Hacker Team vs. SHODAN.
* FreakyFridayFlip: One of the various teleporter malfunction events.
* HeroicSacrifice: Camille, to get rid of the black rock.

* KinkMeme: There was one ''in character.''

* MushroomSamba: A chunk of the station population went on one for a couple days after Thane fell in the water supply.
** This also happens if you eat magmaworm blood.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Helping Hypatia contain Twosix? Maybe not such a good idea.
** Fire destroys black rock. Striderhaus was contaminated, so Red Dave burned it down... turns out John and Vriska were still in there. Nice job killing your friends, hero.

* ShoutOut: The Potato/Fetchquest event was full of VideoGame/{{Portal}} shoutouts.

* UnderTheMistletoe: Hypatia's Christmas decorations included mistletoe infested with alien spores ("kisseltoe".) Anyone who got covered in the spores- usually by standing under the mistletoe- was compelled to kiss anyone nearby.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: SHODAN's takeover, again.
* YouMeddlingKids: The Homestuck cast tends to have their hands in every plot that requires some sort of hardcore resolution, and most of them haven't even turned fifteen.
** Due to the amount of kids on the station, most of whom are eager to help, this happens a lot.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Hypatia.
** Also the case with several of the AI player characters. [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]], [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]], and [[VideoGame/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream AM]] to name a few.

* BadassCrew: [[Franchise/MassEffect Normandyhaus]], obviously. [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Spartanhaus]] as well.

* ClusterFBomb: Karkat. ''Constantly.'' Lampshaded below:

* CrossoverShip: (in-universe)

* DrivesLikeCrazy: [[Franchise/MassEffect Commander Shepard]] has the Mako ''and'' the Hammerhead now. Duck and cover. Seriously, the first thing she did with the Mako was destroy Alejandro's shop with it.
* DrowningMySorrows / INeedAFreakingDrink: A favorite pastime of, well, half the station. (Normandyhaus even has its own bar.)

* IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat: Oh, [[VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac Eve.]]

* [[ScrewYourself Date Yourself:]] Orange and Pink Dave.
* MemeticSexGod: (in-universe example) AM's achievements game included one for having a crush on Shepard.

* PaintingTheMedium: Deadpool spoke in yellow boxes even on audio or video posts.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Most of the AIs inhabit these. Also, Chellbot.
* ShortDistancePhoneCall: At least once, Terezi has posted a memo that was answered by several trolls who were all in Trollhive at the time. Also, Chell and Chellbot had a habit of texting each other while in the same room.
* ThereWasADoor: What did Vriska have against windows, anyway?

* TwinThreesomeFantasy: Jade was not only dating Dave. She was dating two Daves. And this is perfectly acceptable.

** Also the case with several of the AI player characters. [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]], [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]], and [[IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream AM]] to name a few.

* InterspeciesAdoption: [[MassEffect Legion]] found[[TheBindingofIsaac Eve]] digging through trash and decided to adopt her.

* AlternateUniverse: Singularity allows for (sometimes multiple) AU versions of a character in addition to the canon one. Among other things this means we have a [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} preposterous amount of Daves.]]

The space station is named Sacrosanct. It's divided into 32 zones, each the size of a small country... and it's nearly empty. The reason why is known only to the A.I. in charge, a certain blue lady designated as Hypatia. [[ColdBloodedTorture She's]] [[MindHive a little]] [[ThePurge nuts.]]

** KilledOffForReal: Members of the Underworld don't use teleporters, so they ''do'' die if they are killed.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Hypatia has started doing this to people who displease her.

* FantasticRacism: Of every kind, to the point where "space racism" is a running joke among the players. Robots to humans, humans to robots, trolls to robots, and humans to aliens to name a few.

* MindHive: Hypatia is broken up into fragments. The more homicidal one(s) appear to be in charge at present.

* ThePurge: Hypatia initiated at least one in the past, and some station residents fear she's building up to another one.

** Fire destroys black rock. Striderhaus was contaminated, so Red Dave burned it down... turns out John and Vriska were still in there. Welp.

* ThePlague: Black rock is a particularly nasty one.

* UnderTheMistletoe: Hypatia's Christmas decorations included mistletoe infested with alien spores ("kisseltoe".) Anyone who got covered in them- say, by standing under said mistletoe- was compelled to kiss anyone nearby.

** Due to the ridiculous amount of kids on the station, most of whom are eager to help, this happens a lot.

* BiTheWay: [[Film/DeadSpaceAftermath Alejandro Borges]], who is currently in a relationship with [[Machinima/RedvsBlue Donut]].

** Kanaya and Karkat typically climb through each other's windows when they want to see each other. In fact, [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Kanaya]] is using windows more frequently.
* TwinThreesomeFantasy: Jade is not only dating Dave. She's dating two Daves. And this is perfectly acceptable.

* InterspeciesAdoption: [[TheBindingofIsaac Eve]] to [[MassEffect Legion]].

** [[Homestuck Kanaya and Karkat]] typically climb through each other's windows when they want to see each other. In fact, [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Kanaya]] is using windows more frequently.

** Kanaya is having trouble with this due to [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire her rainbow drinker instincts]]. Bother her and Karkat typically climb through each other's windows when they want to see each other.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A large chunk of the Homestuck cast after SHODAN got her claws on them.

As quoted from the community pages, Singularity is a panfandom science fiction roleplaying game played out between a gigantic ring-world orbital station and a planet in the pre-Eden stages of terraforming.

The space station is named Sacrosanct and is run by an A.I. designated as Hypatia. It has been hinted at as well as outright stated that she may have initiated [[ThePurge a purge]] or several.

In contrast to that, the planet is named Asphodel and is a base for [[LaResistance The Resistance]], though the application of ThePowerOfFriendship is debatable at best and non-existent at worst.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: [[http://singularityrpg.dreamwidth.org/475814.html?thread=51087014#cmt51087014 Rattmann tries to look on the bright side for once.]]
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The fates of anyone succumbing to the Black Rock plague, but ''especially'' [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Vriska Serket and John Egbert]]. thanks to their {{immortality}} justifying they could still be killed, but it not counting unless the death was [[HeroicSacrifice heroic]] or [[KarmicDeath just]], they ended up dying repeatedly and being revived constantly, with the plague still intact. [[KillItWithFire and then Original Universe Dave burnt their house down, with them still inside.]]
** The SHODAN+Dead Space events. See BodyHorror.
* TearJerker: Let's put it this way, a "Gamzee Made Me Cry" thread showed up on anoncomm during the black rock event.
** Rattmann tends to generate these.

* KinkMeme: There was one ''in character.'' There have also been a few out of character.

* CrossoverShip:

* OddFriendship: Quite a few cases, but the best example of this trope would be [[HaloReach Emile]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]].
