Nogo3 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 BYOND Key: Nogo3 Character name: Halo O'Kyle Item name:Research Notebook Why is your character carrying said item to work? Halo's research into Mechatronics doesn't end when she gets off the station. She keeps a handy notebook with her at all times that lets her write down all of her findings and designs that make a good reference for whatever work she is currently doing. It also contains all of her drafts on new designs, so she doesn't really like to leave it around for someone to steal. Item function(s): Similar to that of a book which can be opened or read, or like an envelope in the way that pages and things can be stored in it freely (Preferably the latter). Otherwise, it's just a run of the mill notebook which has seen a lot of use and serves as an RP item that can be mentioned every once in awhile. Item description: A plain notebook with a blue binding that has "RESEARCH NOTES" sprawled on the cover, with an "H.K" dotting the bottom right. Post-it notes and loose papers stick out haphazardly, and it looks like it's been repaired with tape more than once. All sorts of information on Experimental Mechatronics are in here. Item appearance: A blue covered Notebook with bits of yellow post-it notes and papers sticking out of it. Meant to look just a little messy. Additional comments: I'm not worried at all about non-functionality of the item itself, but being usable as a folder would be a nice touch. It's mainly just for use as a thing for me to use /me's with and add a bit more flavor. http://www.mediafire.com/view/9uazgj2jn7uledo/halo_notebook.dmi# Here is the sprite for the custom item.
TishinaStalker Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 So, this can totally be made as a folder that you just put a paper into it, and then can't remove. Anything worthwhile mentioning about your notebook? Does it mean something to you or others that see it?
Nogo3 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 It's the girl's lifeblood. Everything she has ever designed, worked on, or thought about is jotted down in that notebook and she's extremely protective of it. It might not mean much to anyone outside of Robotics, but it's essentially her bible. Halo has never worked on anything so revolutionary and ground-breaking that it'd be a plausible source for thieves and copyright though, so it's not exactly 'too' valuable. Mostly just Theories and Designs. Oh and you don't even need the 'not be able to remove paper' bit if it's extra work. I can work with bare minimal but if your able that'd be nice too. That good?
TishinaStalker Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'll buy it. It's got sense why you would have it on-station and it means something to your character which can make it a conduit for your RP. Your application will be accepted and placed in the Accepted Items sub. Keep an eye out for it in case a developer needs to contact you.
SierraKomodo Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 It'll be in this saturday's pull request (Nov 14, 2015). When it gets put on live from there is up to the devs. // Halo O'Kyle's Research Notebook - Nogo3 /obj/item/weapon/folder/fluff/halo_researchnotebook name = "research notebook" desc = "A plain notebook with a blue binding that has 'RESEARCH NOTES' sprawled on the cover, and the letters 'H.K.' dotting the bottom right.
