005 • Tabula Rasa
Hey, everyone!

Starting at midnight all characters will have absolutely no memory of who they are. They will pass out suddenly wherever they are and when they wake up they will have no memories. You don't have to have them pass out at home, and in fact we encourage you to be creative in terms of where they are and who they're with. If you've seen the Buffy episode Tabula Rasa, then you have some idea of the things people can wrongly decide about their lives. Maybe two friends will wake up together and assume they're a couple. A group of people all decide they're trapped in a government experiment. Get creative with this and have fun.

In terms of personal memory, characters will be completely blank slates. This won't effect their personalities, they aren't becoming pod people. They also won't be forgetting facts. They'll still be able to math and define what iambic pentameter is (unless they couldn't before this). But they won't remember anything about their lives. In addition anything that would tell them who they are is gone. Photographs aren't around, nameplates are gone from the apartments, and the PDAs no longer have the characters' names. Likewise, all backlogs of the network are inaccessible, so that people can't simply look back to find out about themselves. Anything that would identify them is absent.

All characters will maintain their abilities, but they won't know that they do and they won't necessarily have the same level of control they usually do since they're not aware of their powers. The same goes for skills. If someone has years of ninja training, or can pick a lock in four seconds, they'll still be able to do so. They just won't know that they can. This does have potential to be both interesting and destructive, given some characters are rather powerful, so please be responsible and realistic when dealing with this aspect of the memory loss. Try not to have your character destroy half the city or immediately go and break out of their apartment through a ventilation shaft even though they shouldn't know they can do that.

And, as always, have fun with this.
