ITEM DROP THE 1ST

[unplug]

▶ SWAG

Welcome to our very first ITEM DROP REQUEST!

All characters are eligible to receive one (1) gift item, to be delivered in the Real under mysterious circumstances. All items must meet the following criteria:

• Apparently derived from your character's "home" Matrix (for unplugged characters). For Native characters, this item may derive from any Matrix they have operated for or heard of in detail
  
• Objects that are (or have been) generally desired by the character on some level, although their emotional response may be complicated/bittersweet
  
• Inanimate objects only
  
• Organic material may be available, but is not guaranteed
  
• No larger or heavier than a normal healthy adult can carry
  
• No supernatural/magical properties (such items may outwardly appear as they did in the Matrix, but be completely depowered or be enhanced with extremely similar technology)
  
• Technology no more or only slightly more advanced than that which is available in Zion. For example, a small "hovercycle" (motorcycle using miniaturized levitation technology) may be possible, but an arc reactor will not
  
• Items that require batteries or ammunition will come with a limited supply (examples below)
  
• No weapons of mass destruction or other items likely to unbalance the game

Your character can acquire sentimental items, such as photographs, videos/holo-videos, or personal memorabilia, but weapons and unusual technology will also be possible. Some more examples: an outfit, milk (dairy), a sword, a pistol with a full chamber of bullets (or a bow with 5 arrows), an iPod (having music) with one rechargeable battery, a guitar, a violin and bow.

Additionally we will have 3 wildcard objects to be assigned randomly! Some of these items are simply unusual, while others are directly plot relevant. If you wish to enter in this lottery, respond 'YES' to the relevant form question. Receiving a wildcard object automatically forfeits your "home Matrix" item request.

To receive an item, please fill out the form below for your character, and then comment with it below! The deadline to submit is September 1, 2015 (at 11:59PM EST). If your item is not approved, the mods will respond within 3 days and you will have another 48 hours to submit revisions for approval. All characters will receive their item on September 7, 2015.
