Capesh

While I can't claim to have known Ben's characters for a long time, the moments I've interacted with them have, however, been fleshed and pleasant. Application as a whole looks fine, and the issues I pointed out elsewhere have been fixed. +1. Edit: As per public request, the joke of security requiring more IAAs have been removed.

Overjoyed at the positive reception but, uh, as Tishina so succinctly put it, less OOC where IC should be, please. My sparkling personality aside, and the sprites' quality, this application really is for ORB's new item; if the background checks out, reasons behind it. Me putting the item to good use has absolutely zero to do with the item itself, and that the sprite fits aesthetically is also really not tied to me or ORB - the sprite could be put for 'general suggestions' of new borg sprites and your comments would be great in such a situation. But this application is about why ORB, in particular, IC-ly deserves the update. Like I stated before: throw punches at the actual content, question me on why I wrote this. I am here to be grilled and hopefully survive the fire. /Capesh BYOND Key: Capesh Character name: O.R.B. Item name: O.R.B.’s Conversion Chassis. Why is your character carrying said item to work? With the majority of security androids, cyborgs, and robots utilizing imposing and heavy frames to handle the host of entities threatening the station, all from secessionists and space carp to rampaging monsters and traitors, as well as deterring threats and upholding stability through their bulk and presence alone, drone security android O.R.B. was instead chosen for his expressive friendliness, non-threatening demeanor, and abhorrence of using lethal means when other options were readily available. After methodological analysis of O.R.B.’s interactions and handling of various live scenarios, along with post-incident station personnel evaluations, it was decided O.R.B. was the ideal candidate for a new type of security stationbound chassis, formed to inspire calm and security without the thick presence of usual variations. Upon request the new chassis was likened after the positronic brain’s designation, in the spirit of his previous drone configuration but made distinct in a way which would make station personnel instinctively aware that they would be in safe hands upon O.R.B.’s arrival. The design is sphere-shaped, sleek and modernized, with electrochromic coating for the allowance of departmental denotations outside of security configurations, when needed, along with color-shifting sensors. In the rare event of a station crisis, and combat modules are authorized, the lower parts of the chassis will expand to reveal additional heavy-duty heatsinks, which allows O.R.B. to fine-tune his hovering capabilities to such a degree that he becomes suspended in the air. This has the result of improving aim, while the sinks make O.R.B. able to divert power to momentum for additional directional speed (mobility mode). Additional sensor packages extend from the chassis’ back for increased data accuracy, collection and processing speed of O.R.B.’s surroundings. Item function(s): The item works as sprite conversion for all cyborg modules, with color and light modeled after the appropriate department. Combat module is the only module to look different, although sensor/light placement is universal and should thus cause no issues. Item description: Security/Medical/Engineering/Custodial/Service/Standard/Clerical/Science: Combat: Item appearance: Non-Combat: Combat: How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? I’ve designed ORB to be this one security drone who, above all else, wants station personnel to feel safe – the standard drone chassis is one I’ve deemed to be the most ‘friendly-looking’ out of all the options. During the process of apprehending suspects, he always tries to make them put down arms and come willingly, and internally sighs when they, most times, choose to violently engage regardless, at which points he applies just enough stun to cuff, and then hauls them away to the brig for oversight. I believe this custom sprite will make him stand out more and become recognizable, while also reinforcing his policy of non-lethality above all else due to the sprite’s non-threatening look. The sleeker chassis is also great for improved pats. Additional comments: First time posting an application here, so please don’t hesitate to pester me regarding edits and changes – I’ll fix them as soon as possible. Also shoutout to Itanimulli, creator of the lovely sprite, who approached me with it out of the blue. I am humbled. Edit: The .dmi file contains all the sprites for every department. Minor word bonks.
