Character Name: Iliasz Jajszczyk
Item Name: (if you are applying for multiple items, it should be made into a list with the description, name and appearance together): naval pilot's jacket
Item Function(s): It's a jacket worn over a uniform, with two slots of storage space. Can also be zipped and unzipped.


Item Description: A sturdy nomex-lined jacket, flame-resistant and sleek. A garment of choice for anyone who might be in the cockpit of something with a risk of catching fire. There's a name patch sewn onto the breast of this one, reading "JAJSZCZYK". This one seems more rugged than most flight jackets would be, and also appears to have some waterproofing. A Solarian flag in miniature rests on the right sleeve, the colors faded and worn.


Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Iliasz previously wore a similar jacket to work aboard the NSS Aurora. With his pending transfer to the SCCV Horizon, he has opted for a more durable one that's better suited for field use, and the risks that come with being aboard an exploration vessel. That aside, he's been wearing these jackets for the bulk of his adult life, and to him they're very comfortable.


How did your character obtain this item?: Prior to his employment as an EPMC, Iliasz was enlisted in the Solarian navy, working as an exosuit operator. Flame-retardant jackets such as this are standard-issue for mech pilots all over the spur on account of the risks that come with operating an exosuit, and this has been in his wardrobe ever since he first enlisted.


What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: This jacket holds immense sentimental value to Iliasz, one of the few remaining momentos of the life he lived before ending up in Biesel- he was exceptionally fond of his trade and cherishes the memories he made while wearing it. It reminds him of where he comes from, and is in many ways a symbol of better times. It also has substantial practical value, being a rugged, well-insulated jacket that'd serve him well in his day-to-day work as a security officer. And who knows - maybe he'll pilot a mech or two aboard the Horizon, if he's lucky.

I still need to make the unzipped sprite, but that shouldn't be too hard.
