Narra's snow cloak

[Naelynn]

Byond key: Naelynn

Discord key: Naelynn#4585

Character Name: Narra M'rah

Item name: Snow hunter's cloak

Item function(s): Cosmetic Accessory (Mechanically identical to Poncho)

Item description: Large fluffy cloak meant to conceal it's wearer in Adhomai's snowy plains. There are two holes in it's hood for tajaran ears.

Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Narra is uncomfortable not wearing a cloak - she always looks for a way to hide her body and this cloak would help her do just that.

How did your character obtain this item: She has saved enough money to purchase a high-quality cloak to be imported from Adhomai. 

What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Narra has been bringing 'gruff cloak' loadout item since day one, I always liked the idea of her having a cape to remind her of the cold plains she came from. After the Tajaran Cold War arc where Narra cannonically suffered the effects of Venenum, I decided to rp her as 'less comfortable in her own body' - a side effect of the drug that she was exposed to. She's been seeking to stay more concealed ever since. This has been achieved via stacking two loadout items - Green Poncho and Gruff cloak, but that is extremely janky, barely achieves the desired result, and the colors on the items do not match properly.

Additional Comments: Apologies if I missed something, first time applying for an item ^^;. If it would be possible to make the item hide eyewear when equipped, it would be perfect.

+1 It makes your character look really cozy, and I like the idea of seeing it around the station.

It's such a cool item I wish it was added to the load out instead, oh well. ?

[Naelynn]

@KingOfThePing I can post this app to the taj lore community and ask for their feedback. If they like it, I wouldn't mind spriting a less jank recolorable version of this for public taj use. Should I?

[KingOfThePing]

Absolutely. It's a great looking, lore friendly cloak.

Seeing it added in general would be nice. But i must admit I also love the cloak. Fat +1

[StationCrab]

This is really cool looking. Would be awesome to see worn around.
