Ankhaia Lunazhak's Zavodskoi Surveyor Voidsuit [Denied]

[Aticius]

BYOND Key: Aticius
Discord Username: @Aticius
Character Name: An'khaia Lun'azhak
Item Name: lightweight Zavodskoi voidsuit
Item Function(s): A modkit to edit other voidsuits, similar to the Himean Voidsuit Modkit in the loadout, but with more menacing Evil Energy (tm)
Item Description:
A lightweight hybrid voidsuit produced by Zavodskoi Interstellar. The Vorobey line is a proscribed, low-unit, suit designed for hazardous operations in regions where anomalous activity or dangerous environments may be present. Unlike traditional voidsuits, however, Vorobeys are hand-fitted for specific users due to their abundant use of polymerized fabric. As such, Vorobey suits are not commercially available without connections to Zavodskoi Interstellar. This specific suit is fitted for an Unathi and has room for both a huge set of horns and a massive pair of sails.

How did your character obtain this item?: Lun'azhak is a long-time employee of Zavodskoi Interstellar and has had a significant amount of time doing survey work in anomalous and hazardous locations, as such, a voidsuit tailored specifically for them (and their non-standard anatomy) makes plenty of sense. Having access to a Noblewoman's amount of wealth also ensures that keeping the suit from it's original posting is a possibility.

Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Lun'azhak is professional that thrives on consistency and works for long hours inside a voidsuit consistently. Unfortunately for her, she carries a pair of frills and a set of horns that deserve their own post code. Having a comfortable voidsuit is paramount. It also helps she's a Zavodskoi loyalist; flying her megacorporate colors is a point of pride for her.

What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: For Lun'azhak, this suit is a comfortable alternative to the standard Science voidsuits in her department and something she's worn previously at other postings. Outside of that, it's a good way to underline that she's both unusually professional to the point of having a voidsuit designed specifically for her and loyal enough to show off corporate colors when alternatives exist.

Hi. Thanks for making an application. As it stands though, we have some issues with this one. 

This suit doesn't really seem to have anything behind it other than it simply being a unique item that looks cooler than default kit. Other cosmetic items generally have unique lore behind them that make them significant to a character, wheras this, by our own description, is just something that has evil energy™ to look cool. 

As for the reason of having a noble's wealth, we generally don't use backstory stuff like that as legitimate reasoning for anything, since that can open up a variety of other problems.  

That said, this is going to be denied, for now. I'll keep the thread open for a bit in case there are any questions.

What is the team looking for in terms of "unique lore" in this case? Are there other examples that have been accepted that I could consider?

What other reasonings are acceptable, as well? To my memory (and i forget where exactly I read it) the current Himean Voidsuit kits we have are both expensive to ship in from Himeo and are stuck in a pit of red tape because of that. I also can't imagine Voidsuits as anything other than expensive, but I could be totally wrong on that.

Finally, in any future version of this, would the art need to be changed? the evil energy™ isn't something I'm totally sold on, but everything zavod-themed seems to radiate it.
