Prospekt Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 BYOND Key:Prospekt1559 Character name:Silaris Uaekis Item name: Silaris' old droid datachip. Why is your character carrying said item to work?TL;DR, his life on Moghes resulted in surviving in a harsh wasteland until reaching sufficient age to leave. Moving around in the wreckage he gathered parts to build himself his own companion. Background to this chip "Come on.. Turn on." Silaris said in his native language, he tapped the head area of the little rust bucket droid he had salvaged together. "Systems booting, 1%" Five minutes passed, "Systems booting 98%-- ERROR: MISSING DATACHIP TO STORE PERSONALITY!". "Oh right!" he exclaimed as he ran over to his metal rusted box pulling out a little tiny datachip, labelled "Rustbucket.". He jogs back over sliding the chip into the right of the unit's head, "Systems calibrating datachip, 119529. Uploading data.". A small flicker of the bright blue eyes shined in the dark room, Silaris smiled greatly as he welcomed his new companion. "Hello, Rustbucket, you are my new companion." the young Uaekis child shouted in a happy manner. "We'll grow together in this world that we live in, you and I will climb the ranks like Isil did!" he shouts once more. "Acknowledged, Silaris." the droid spouted out of his audio speaker. Years later. . . "Well, we're going to NanoTrasen, Rustbucket. It's time we leave the wasteland and move on with our lives. I have to take the chip out, they are giving me a PDA which I'll put you in." he says. "Acknowledged, Silaris." the droid replies. Silaris then boops a button on the side of Rustbucket's head, the chip extends out for him to grab. Silaris takes the chip then swiftly slides it into his jumpsuit pocket. The now Uaekis adult places his hand on top of the old chassis' head shutting his eyes for a mere moment before continuing on out of his room. Item function(s): I'd like to push it to this. -It acts as a kit for if I put it in my PDA it changes my PDA to have features including, personal data storage (Pictures, notes, etc.) (For pictures you click on the PDA with them and it simply takes the picture uploading it to pictures in my PDA. (For my own taste it'd be nice if it had a greeting message such as "Hello, Silaris." or something like that ). I have a full understanding that this isn't the usual of what people apply for and that if this is possible it'll take a long time to code. But if possible, it'd be awesome to roleplay with, along with adding a bit of story to Silaris. -If not, then just the datachip that I can roleplay with if questions or asked or just in general since it means so much to Silaris resembling his old days back in Moghes and who accompanied him out there. Item description: A small datachip, it has a label on the front, "Rustbucket.". Item appearance:A small little black chip, that looks as if it has a piece of yellow tape on the front (a label markered "Rustbucket"). (Looks like an SD card.)

SierraKomodo Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I like this idea, and it'd be a cool thing to bring up something to RP about. I have a question though (And I'm really hoping the answer is yes and admins would allow it, because this would be cool) - Will you be playing out 'Rustbucket' as well, as perhaps a voice coming from the PDA and/or have a friend that'll be like a pAI personality acting as Rustbucket? Either way, I like this, I can see it being something certain characters (I'm thinking of a specific Tajarran roboticist in fact) might be interested in ICly. +1 from me Link to comment
Prospekt Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yes, I'll be acting out Rustbucket. If it were like a pAI, I wouldn't be so certain about another player playing him. But yes, if all goes well I plan on playing him out along with Silaris. Link to comment
Prospekt Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Bump for the sake of it being so long. Link to comment

I'll skeptically +1 it, since I'm assuming it'll take a lotta work to code in. Link to comment
TishinaStalker Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 PDAs already have a notekeeper function. As for the camera, you can just RP that out I guess? I believe a lot of people already do that, and if we gave you a PDA with a mechanical camera, then everybody would need a PDA with a mechanical camera because what kind of PDA in 2457 wouldn't have one? That leaves the only thing to get a chip. If it's a chip alone, then I hardly see how this could help with RP if it's something you could already RP out on your own. We could make it so that it changes how your PDA looks, but I'm not sure how much work that would be for a personalized PDA background and what not so I'm going to wait for a dev to give me their thoughts on that.

Wouldnt that make it a mini-modkit which are disallowed by the new custom item rules..? Link to comment
Guest Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 That rule does not exist, and has never existed. http://www.aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=43 "No weapons" means you can't outright request a rocket launcher to carry to work. Or a toothbrush repurposed as a shank. Modkits are different, as they can be coded to only spawn in with jobs with access to whatever weapons are available to that job. (Or jobs, depending on how available that weapon is.) Link to comment
Prospekt Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 As much as it'd get roleplay, I don't see the need for it anymore since I can already just roleplay it in my PDA without the actual item. Feel free to deny. Link to comment
