HELLO 'v' Kira here!

BODY SWAP CANDYLAND will be running from September 29th @ 7pm GMT until October 9th @ 11pm GMT! Please sign up ASAP so that I can figure out swap & randomised table assignments. These will be finalised on Wednesday 28th.

You can play as many characters as you want, just make it as clear as possible so I don't goof up and swap you with yourself.

Full rules will go up on the day, but for now —

✦ Once you've received your bodyswap assignment, make a new journal and populate it with icons!
✦ Do not reveal who you're swapped with! This will form part of the win mechanics.
✦ Physical monster traits will remain with the body; the monsters themselves will move with their person.
✦ ALL powers and abilities will stay with the body. Screw the lore, the Warden has money.
✦ All items stay with the body.
✦ Characters cannot be injured! It just won't work! You can, however, commit as much property damage as you like.
✦ Characters will be free to leave the game area and mingle, but, due to the anonymous nature of the game, pop-up tents and sleeping bags will be provided.

Sign up by filling in the form below. The more information you can include, the better.

If you have any questions or concerns, please hit me up here, via PM to this journal, or via discord.

Player: Witty
Are you signing up with another character?: Selena Evan on Cerberus

CHARACTER DETAILS:
Name: Ryousuke "Kit" Kitson
Team: Bugbear
What's it like to be your character?: Kit is an ordinary human boy. He is missing his right arm, cut off at the bicep. There is a metal port grafted onto it with an advanced detatchable robotic prosthetic, and some scarring around the area that still aches sometimes. He has a bunch of other scars dotted around his body that do look like they should come from a warrior, but he's not actually that physically strong and nothing about his build indicates a fighter.

New note he's also currently EXHAUSTED and his hand is achy and will be cramping from performing surgery for 24 hours oops.

Monster traits: Fluffy iridescent blue/pink/yellow wings and tail, feathy dragon ears, lil horns, claws and sharp teeth, like this! Also prettier singing voice, smells like toasted s'mores and mocha.
Mental traits are increased aggression when threatened, resource guarding, increased desire to sing, can sometimes commune with the dragon.

Powers and abilities: Kit has a fancy magic ring that is connected to Miya on Cerberus and acts as a kind of soulbond contract to channel her powers. Kit himself may not be innately magical, but through his contract, he has the power to transform into a magical knight boy with different colours depending on what element he's channeling. He can also summon a sword, a fancy magic shield, give stat boosts to himself and others, and generate a whole lot of fire power. This is NOT natural or easy for him, and would be difficult to activate without knowing it's there. It is NOT easily discoverable or activated. It is a phsyical manifestation of his bond and trust with Miya and if your character at any point tries to close themselves off to their emotions or refuses connection with others the powers become even more difficult to access.

However IF your character is super magical, spiritutual, and has an incredible understanding of FRIENDSHIP and manages to key into it, here's a breakdown of the powers:

Fire — Hair grows just past shoulder length to curls and turns iridescent red, outfit is red. You gain a fancy fire wand that can grow into a large staff if you wanna smack some people. It can create and shape fire.

Air — Hair grows long and wavy and turns iridescent silver, outfit is a pale shimmery gold. You gain a fancy sword that has AIR SLICES. Air can be used to blow things around but requires delicate precision for any actual control. This includes making yourself fly, if you don't do it carefully you're just gonna throw yourself into the ceiling.

Earth — Hair stays short but gets wavy and turns iridescent green, outfit is green. You gain a fancy shield and the power to grow fancy vines and plants, and create small localised earthquakes.

Water — Hair grows into a long loose braid and turns iridescent blue, outfit is blue. This is the hardest element for Kit to control, because the item is one you have to form yourself. There's no conduit to channel the element through, it relies on magical talent to shape and control water into something you can use. Often he makes a blobby kind of water whip with it that has poor control and just tends to splash around a lot, but if your character is a talented magical user you can make any kind of water weapon your heart desires! This is also the element that creates the stat boost potions, you can imbue any kind of buff you want on water for yourself or someone else to drink.

Opt-outs: Go nuts
