Nayrragh'Rakhan Family Cloak

[Ramke]

BYOND Key: ramke

Discord Username: Ramke#5458

Character Name: Valetzrhonaja Nayrragh'Rakhan

Item Name:  Nayrragh'Rakhan Cloak

Item Function(s): Functionally, it's just a resprite of the normal Tajara cloak.

Item Description: A worn, black cloak with golden adornments decorating the edges of the fabric. The insignia of the Nayrragh'Rakhan family is embedded into the custom pin holding the cloak together, and each shoulder is decorated by the representation of a yellow or blue sun - the symbols of S'rendarr and Messa. The fabric is faded, having clearly been tested by time.

Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Valetzrhonaja is a character that is (I hope) known for never really separating with her cloak, and she takes great care to avoid letting it come to harm to the point of actively avoiding situations that might cause it to get dirty if the option allows it - a character quirk. It is (the only) keepsake that connects her to Adhomai, and a reminder of her family and roots, hence the obsession with carrying it around everywhere. It's also a bit gaudy, letting that royalist flair manifest itself into the clothing.

How did your character obtain this item?: It was passed down to Valetzrhonaja by her family before she left to study in Kaltir, and eventually leaving to Tau Ceti.

What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: As one of the only keepsakes from back home, the cloak is of immense sentimental value to the character and offers other players a prompt to start digging deeper into the backstory of the Nayrragh'Rakhan family history and the character's backstory.

Minor grammar fix in the item description

Having a direct hand in helping Ramke design this I MIGHT be a little biased but personalized cloaks are more than thematic and fitting for our ever-fond dirt noble's in the NKA and no royal igloo would be complete without one. Ramke's character Valetzrhonaja is a well diverse char and it certainly fits the older ties that she'd hold a family heirloom such as this. 

Big +1 from me.

Hey I helped too. I really like Ramke's char, and they put a lot of work on this. Like a lot, took them weeks. That alone is a huge merit. +1

oh heck yes, Val is a cool char and this is a cool item, huge +1 here
