Krab giving WYVERN a new shiny shell!

[Krab Meister]

BYOND Key:
Krab Meister

Discord Username:
Maitre Crabe#9854

Character Name:
WYVERN

Item Name: (if you are applying for multiple items, it should be made into a list with the description, name and appearance together):
Decapod shell

Item Function(s):
A new shell for WYVERN, based on the arachnotronic chassis.

Item Description:
Developped from the arachnotronic chassis, the Decapod version is more similar to a crab than a spider. The clamps, depending on the cyborg's duty can be purely decorative or used as replacements for grippers. The words "Whittemore-Yale's Versatile Enhanced Robotic Novelty" are engraved on the left side of the shell.

Why is your character bringing this item to work?:
After spending some shifts in the Aurora's kitchen, WYVERN has come to the conclusion that being equipped with such a chassis would not only make moving plates and other objects more reliable, but also attract more customers! After all, it is brand new, clean and shiny!

How did your character obtain this item?:
The shell has been upgraded with the help of the NTCC Odin's roboticists inbetween shifts, as an upgrade for kitchen duties.

What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?:
Being a brand new, shiny, polished shell, WYVERN will take extra-care of its body. Meaning no more jumping in phoron-filled rooms built by the maintenance drones.

Sprites:

WYVERNcustomborg.7z

(Front view of the Service chassis as a sample)

Additional Comments:
Regarding gameplay, due to the two large clamps, Wyvern will always keep two grippers on the slots numbered 1 and 3, the middle slot being the one that will be constantly changed depending on the required duties. There are two exceptions however, being the medical and rescue module, as all three slots will need to be used in order to guarantee efficency.

Edit - The sprite was made by CNEGecko, not me!

Some more diversity (and possibly the removal of some) in sprites for the stationbounds is certainly an idea that I can get behind as a former stationbound main. Eitherway, love the sprite and WYVERN deserves the shiny gween +1. The only issue is how exactly it'd be implemented, I'm no coder but I have no clue if a person can be given a custom sprite for their stationbound?

I'd like to note that CNEGecko made the sprite, not me! I probably should've mentionned it in the app.

Yes, they are all included in the ZIP file. I only used the service one as a preview, since it's the department I spent the most time in, when I play as WYVERN.

Awesome. Accepted, then! I will move this shortly.
