(Mechanically, it can likely work as a reskin of the clipboard.) Item description: An aluminum block runs the width of the dark blue plastic board, biting down on it with crocodile teeth and barely holding it together. Stuffed within the ledger, a cabbage of paperwork narrates numerous cases, most of them closed. Turning it on its back reveals the embossed letters: NT. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: It's only practical. This ledger helps keep all the paperwork a Corporate Investigator needs to fill out (mostly) neat and organized while storing copies of archived cases inside. How did your character obtain this item: As a clean-shaven young man, he was given this ledger during his first official shift onboard a NanoTrasen owned station. Back then, these were commonplace for a Corporate Investigator, but now they've all been discontinued. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: This ledger tells the tale of this worn-out detective. Inside, haphazard scrawlings in blue ink detail every case he had worked on while under NanoTrasen. On the outside, the blue plastic fades as it ages. What was once bright and colorful is now dull and worn, barely held together by that aluminum clip. To him, though, this is the record of everyone he helped, and more importantly, everyone he couldn't. Despite seemingly being filled, there's always room for just one more case at the end.

Edited April 14, 2021 by 25charactersorless Opted to throw in a picture of the sprite along with the DMIs so its easier for people to view at a glance without downloading the DMI. Link to comment
