As quoted from the community pages, Singularity is a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover|panfandom]] science fiction [[Journal Roleplay|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. 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. [[Cold
In contrast to that, the planet is named Asphodel and is a base for [[La Résistance|The Resistance]], though the application of [[The Power of Friendship]] is debatable at best and non-existent at worst. Oh, and watch out for [[Sand Worm|the wildlife.]]

** Jin Tian's wings were torn off when he messed with The Rift in an attempt to send everyone home and accidentally ended up breaking the laws of physics.
** 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 [[Eye Scream|other eye removed]] and Knock Out lost his Transformation Cog for helping him get the Dark Energon onto the station.
Line 24:
* [[Holographic Terminal]]: Wearables can function as these.
* [[Mind Hive]]: Hypatia is broken up into fragments. The more homicidal one(s) appear to be in charge at present.
