Faye <3 Posted December 28, 2022 Posted December 28, 2022 BYOND Key: PersephoneQ Discord Username: Faye#0558 Character Name: Shirin Abbasi Item Name: Medinan Mercenary's Plate Carrier Item Function(s): It's a plate carrier. Plates not included. Item Description: A flashy and apparently well-made plate carrier. This one seems well-maintained, if quite worn-in. It's design is reminiscent of the ornate and intricate patterns of Medinan make, though someone has written various colorful epithets such as 'AIM HERE' over the heart and 'KICK ME' on the back in Elyran Standard. A patch on the center depicts a golden jackal with a challenging and cheerful grin, a chunk of phoron held between it's teeth. On the left shoulder, a much newer patch is sewn in depicting the insignia of the SCC Chainlink. Beneath it is stitched 'ABBASI'. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Shirin hates the corporate standard-issue she's given. It's uncomfortable, doesn't fit her right, and isn't anywhere near flashy enough to satiate her incessant need for attention. After getting approval from Sector Security Command, she's brought her custom-made plate carrier from her phoron hunting days. It's made for her body, breathes better and draws more attention to her. How did your character obtain this item?: When Shirin made a name for herself as a mercenary on Medina, she visited a shop in the capitol to have her measurements taken and custom armor made for her. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Shirin dearly misses her time as a mercenary on Medina. Money was plenty, booze was cheap and jobs were constant. But as her age catches up with her, she's had to slow down with a job ship-side. The plate carrier is a reminder of her youth, and the memories she made. It tells a story of her background, invites IC conversation and questioning, and draws attention to parts of her personality like her desire for attention and flashiness. Sprites: customplate.dmi
