[OOC Bill Info here | Original Inmate Bill of Rights]

1. FREEDOM TO COMMUNICATE

Wardens MUST NOT remove an inmate's access to their communicator or the public network, UNLESS the inmate is using the public network to deliberately harm others.

2. RIGHT TO MAINTAIN AUTONOMY

Wardens MUST NOT possess, puppeteer, put to sleep or restrain an inmate UNLESS the inmate CANNOT be talked down, AND is going to hurt more people if they're not stopped, AND the control ends as soon as the present threat is handled.

2a. If an inmate decides in their own right mind to do something that sets off a warden's AUTOMATIC, reactive/defensive powers, then this doesn't count as the warden breaking the right. (Aka "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes".)

3. RIGHT TO PERSONAL SPACE

An inmate will ALWAYS have access to a private space (eg, their cabin), that is always available for them where they can eat, sleep, clean themselves, and (if the inmate would like) have access to fresh water and a toilet. Asking for a room improvement will never be used against the inmate, and a warden will not reduce an inmate's room to the point that an inmate can't do all of the above.

4. RIGHT TO PRIVATE PROPERTY

An inmate is allowed to tell a warden that they cannot search their private space UNLESS a second warden is supervising the first warden. If the inmate is not comfortable with the second warden, a third warden can also be asked to supervise.

5. RIGHT TO SINGULAR JUDGEMENT / FREEDOM FROM DOUBLE JEOPARDY

An inmate WILL NOT be punished for the same incident twice. Holding someone in Zero does not count as punishment IF it's for less than 24 hours, AND the time the inmate is in Zero is being used to investigate the full damage caused by an incident. Any wardens upset by the incident being investigated must bring up their problems in this time. (A warden retaliating against an inmate for the investigated crime AFTER the window closes is breaking this right.) Further harm discovered after 24 hours (eg, a new or hidden body) is a new, separate incident.

5a. An inmate's paired warden is the default person to organise any required punishments for their own inmate, unless they are too close to the incident to be fair about it (eg, their lover was injured) or are currently not in their right mind.

6. RIGHT TO BASIC NEEDS

Inmates will always be allowed to have access to:
- any medicine and mobility devices they need
- any equipment for practising their religion (as long as it doesn't hurt themselves OR anyone else)
- the ability to express their gender how they are most comfortable
- the equipment needed to clean themselves, to stay mentally and physically healthy, food, and being alive (or nearest equivalent)
These CANNOT be held against the inmate, used to hurt them by denying them, or put the inmate 'in debt' if they request them, and any warden that does is breaking this right.

7. FREEDOM FROM EXCESSIVE FORCE

Excessive force from a warden to an inmate is NEVER ACCEPTABLE. (Force can be physical, magical, or anything else.) This includes: attacking when an inmate has surrendered; using more power than necessary to restrain or knock out an inmate; attacking an inmate who isn't hurting (or threatening to hurt) anyone; or torture (based on the inmate's own limits). It doesn't matter who started it - a warden MUST try to NOT use more force than required to finish it.

8. RIGHT TO OVERSIGHT

If an inmate feels like their own warden is being actively abusive towards them, they can ask another warden (one their own warden agrees to) to investigate their warden and make sure they're acting in a way that doesn't break any of the rights OR abuse the inmate in other ways. If the paired warden delays or prevents the investigation OR retaliates at the inmate for using this right, they are breaking the right.

9. FREEDOM OF SELF SUFFICIENCY

Wardens will only press the Big Red Button in the Warden Conference Room (which turns powers OFF for inmates (like being in a Zero cell) for one (1) hour) ONLY if they are reasonably sure that whatever is currently affecting the Barge (the ship itself AND/OR a significant number of passengers) is caused by an inmate that will stop doing it when depowered, AND they tell at least one other warden before doing so.

10. RIGHT TO REASONABLE PRIVACY

Wardens MUST NOT give their inmate's file to ANYONE ELSE without their inmate's express permission. (Inmates are free to share their file and any other personal info however they please). A warden may reveal private information about an inmate ONLY if it becomes directly relevant to a current incident.

sci-fi / space horror, adventure, etc. —
I'm very much here for spooky sci-fi space fun across a variety of times — whether it's from Konstantin's particular place (the early 80's for the Retro Vibes) or sometime in the future, which could offer many more options, such as: serving long-term aboard a ship, exploring the galaxy, living on another planet... Konstantin could be a commander as in canon, or maybe there was a distress call and he gets picked up aboard your spacecraft, but seems to have something wrong with him... or maybe his condition is known already and someone's helping him with it. Maybe your character also hosts something creepy, or maybe they're an alien / other such species themselves; give me all the Otherworldly / Alien Things tbqh! I'd love to keep his spooky parasite situation in some capacity for all the fun horror options there, and am also open to any more space horror potential! Canon mashups could be very workable here, as well as all the space-time fuckery, like characters ending up in some weird jamjar-type nexus, or him crash landing into your character's universe, whenever & wherever that might be... Sudden Russian Spaceman Acquisition

laboratory shenanigans —
My kingdom for all the laboratory / spooky research facility / experimentation shenanigans. Some fun options here could be: Konstantin as a lab rat, and your character as a doctor / scientist / researcher or fellow lab rat. Maybe he's freshly been put in or maybe he's been there for awhile; there's a lot of room to shape this however we might like! Maybe they end up put in the same cell, or kept in a larger place where they're more free to "live", but kept under surveillance. It could even be a small town or something like that, for the long-term potential.

ON THE RUN —
Which could very easily include / branch off of the above, with our characters making an escape from some sort of laboratory / research facility / etc, but straight-up playing out the "on the run" part could be its own fun. Give me all the road trips (or space travel trips), hotel hopping, lying low, narrowly avoiding re-capture adventures...!

IDEAS THAT COULD BE WORKED INTO VARIOUS SETTINGS —

• Kostya could be on the search for victims to keep his gnarly alien passenger fed. This would likely involve him attempting to charm someone in some capacity — whether just generally or using said charms to try and seduce someone if we wanna get a little spicy about things. I'm very flexible with this, but something interesting to consider is that he would probably try to "justify it" by targeting victims he thinks are involved in some kind of bad business / might not be the greatest people / are criminals / seem Unfavourable for some various reason / etc., so that might be a factor we could work with! And we can find plenty of fun reasons for your character to not actually end up as alien chow with this.

• Sad Space Dad... Konstantin is canonically A Failed Dad™ with a slew of his own daddy issues, and I'd love to explore that theme further — whether working his abandoned son angst into our shenanigans or even if you'd be interested in your character being his child (whether genuinely, adopted literally, or adopted in ~concept, etc...) or simply him picking up a kid / young person along the way somewhere and for some reason! Basically here for all the complicated family times / themes, and any kid / teen / young person character interactions.

• some favourite tropes: forced reliance on one another, hurt/comfort, found family, all the angst, all the fluff, any number of Accidental Situations... I love things like "there was just one bed", "the day after", and "accidentally turned on"; things like that could offer interesting starting points to test out character connections with before committing to something longer-term, if you prefer! For anything regarding sexual intimacy in those quick & easy type threads, we'd probably need to hash out some details first; I'm absolutely open to it, but he comes with a nocturnal alien that needs to feed on blood in the middle of the night... (although I do think it would be hilarious to play out Kostya making bad manwhore decisions, Sleeping With Someone, and then at some point after or even during.... he just throws up an entire alien)

• The Alien also offers a ton of interesting potential to work with! It can be adjusted to suit different AUs, and I'd love to play around with this beyond just as a source of Horror & Gore. Canonically, it's capable of developing attachments / associations / "positive sensations" towards people that Konstantin feels positively towards, so it's not as though everyone is in danger of it at all times! Basically, I'd love to explore all of this, and the inevitable complications there. I'm also very interested in seeing how it might adapt & develop outside of the only canon environment it was exposed to on Earth (which was stressful, dangerous, and one in which it was being kept in captivity and shaped into a weapon). Its only experience with humans beyond "a food source" has been extremely negative, so it would be fun to play around with how this highly adaptable little thing might change in different settings.

NOTES

💫 — I'm always down to brainstorm and incorporate any elements or ideas you might have! I'm good both with planning out specifics you might be itching for or tossing out more vague ideas and letting things develop organically.

💫 — This character is available for general, familial / found family, romantic / shippy, smutty, and horror / gore things. I have no limits on any of this, but please let me know if you do, if you prefer anything faded to black, etc. I'm also happy to roll with established cr / relationships or build up to things.

💫 — Feel free to hmu in a message first if you like, or just throw something at Kostya's open post! I'm also good to play on memes, journal posts, or museboxes. I'm easy ♡
