Mekesatis' Holocoat.

[VisVirific]

Byond key: Vrow
Discord key: VisVirific#6046

Character Name: Neith Mekesatis
Item name: Biochemist Holocoat
Item function(s): A Labcoat that can change appearances from a Normal Biochemistry Labcoat to an Eridani Corporate Federation Holocoat.
Item description: An Eridani Corporate Federation holocoat modelled after a standard biochemist labcoat. It is extremely well cared for. (An additional bonus to_chat() description for those who can read Tradeband when they examine it as well. See the Pastebin link)

Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Neith misses his home and this Holocoat (when active) reminds him of the Eridani Corporate Federation, both in technological prowess and appearance, fitting his Suit status while still being within general uniform regulations when in Labcoat mode.

How did your character obtain this item: Neith received this Holocoat in the mail on July 30th as a present from his father, to both congratulate his graduation and act as a (late) birthday present.

What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Neith has a lot of sentimental value for this Holocoat, such as a piece from a home he misses a lot more than he lets on and an exclusive gift from his father. I believe this will provide more opportunities for people to talk about both Eridani and Neith himself.

Sprites: See the attached file for the full sheet.

Additional Comments: I'll preface this with an apology first and foremost, as I've tried to prepare the custom item code to help the application process go a lot smoother since I didn't want to bother the developers with the general shenanigans I intended with it. I tried my best. https://pastebin.com/RsK6LcRK

This sprite is hella nice, though I'm curious as to how well it would protect against chemicals, unless its an actual labcoat with a hologram projector, 

Definitely a +1

This is a very cool item and just as well justified. Easy +1

I'm screaming, it's absolutely amazing. I've also been watching vrow slam their head against the wall for the past week trying to get the code work to the best of their ability, and to me that shows some extreme dedication towards getting this. I think they definitely deserve it just based on the sheer amount of effort they've put into this already - but that aside, as an actual item, there justification is totally satisfactory as well, and it's sure to further a lot of RP (especially when I throw them in a locker every round and beat them up to steal it).

+1

I have been passed Vrow's work over the last week and I can say that I am pretty surprised by the final result and the dedication. Vrow is an amazing person and an amazing roleplayer, even thought I didn't really had the chance to interact with them with my characters, what I saw is enough to qualify as such. For the item itself, the holocoat makes sense and we can't disagree with the fact that it looks cool. You deserve it, so it's a +1 for me.

I know this is old, but please let Vrow have this if it hasn't been delivered. They are, hands-down, one of the most dedicated med players and deserve nice things.
