DronzTheWolf Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) BYOND Key: DronzTheWolf Character name: Talon Hatfield Item name: Embroidered Coat Why is your character carrying said item to work? It's a long coat that he has sewn some identifying patches to and reveals a bit about his character. One is the Solarian flag, one is a Planetary Defence Force patch, and on the back is one of the symbols of the Martian PDF: The golden Solarian sun over a red mars. It doesn't really hurt NT to wear such personal affects, especially considering he'd not be wearing it all the time due to his position as a shaft miner. It'd be little more than just a coat, something he can use to bring up conversations.[/hr]Item function(s): A coat that has one or two pockets and works as a good conversation starter. It opens and closes. Item description: A Martian long coat, made to fend off dust storms and other unpleasantries. This one has a few patches sewn into it depicting: A Solarian flag, a Batallion number, and a large sun. Item appearance: Open: Closed: In-hand: How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It will stipulate people to ask questions about the patches, the coat, and ultimately why Talon is here, on the station, as well as set him up to be targeted by political-leaning characters due to his more obvious ties to Sol. Additional comments: I sprited this myself when I was tired and bored, and if you have any questions about this item, go ahead and ask! I also encourage you to critique anything and everything here, you can't improve without feedback. Be it in RP or art. Addendum: It's patched as in it has identifying patches sewn on, not patched like it's ripped up. Addendum 2: Changed the name and description. Edited July 10, 2018 by Guest
TishinaStalker Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 but this item for JIX is literally the most cliche thing in the history of ever. It's literally always "oh, my coat is torn up" or "oh, my coat is torn up, but hastily/shittily patched", and I'm starting to lose my mind over the number of applications I've accepted that are literally just "Oh, I wear broken and/or patched clothes to my professional space station job for a mega corporation." Not gonna lie, I'm probably going to go take lessons from Kurt Cobain on purchasing home defense weapons and garage redecoration if I have to straight up accept another torn clothing application. Going to put this here from a different app as it applies to your application.
DronzTheWolf Posted June 14, 2018 Author Posted June 14, 2018 Going to put this here from a different app as it applies to your application. It's not patched as in torn up/patched. It's patched as in it has identifying patches sewn on, like one would sew to a jacket. Like how a biking club or something similar would. I don't know why everyone automatically assumes it's hobo-teir ripped up coat because muh Mars. I edited the original post's additional comments to clarify. Another addition: In-hand sprite.
TishinaStalker Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I don't know why everyone automatically assumes it's hobo-teir ripped up coat because muh Mars. Because just "patched" with no further explanation lends itself to exactly that. Especially when you consider that every single "patched" jacket application that's ever existed here was exactly that and you simply said "has patches sewn on it". The assumption has zero to do with "muh Mars" or whatever you're going on about there. You should include in the desc. just what exactly those patches are for people that don't understand what a jumble of pixels on it are meant to be since it's an important part of the item. The assumption falls entirely on the original presentation you created to start with.

I should stop posting when I'm tired.
FreshRefreshments Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 It doesnt feel like something a proud Solian or Martian wouldnt wear, and it can lead to first impressions, especially with those who are far more against Sol or Mars. I also just like Talon as a character, so I wouldnt mind seeing this added.
tbear13 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Pretty nice item. It's believable, looks good, and seems like a decent way to start a conversation. +1 from me.
DronzTheWolf Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 It's believable, One of the major reasons I want to get this is because I've been hinting that sandstorms have been picking up in Talon's area, since he lives outside of the bio-domes. If it doesn't go through I'll probably just grab a generic long coat.
TishinaStalker Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 My bad, could've sworn I already accepted this ages ago. Application accepted.
Alberyk Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Item added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it.
