Dubaku Fatty Scooter


Recommended Posts

BYOND Key: Demonofthefall

Character name: Dubaku Nomak

Item name: Mobility Scooter

Why is your character carrying said item to work? Because of Dubaku's obesity he finds it extremely difficult to move about unassisted, at the moment he has to order a cargo tug every shift. It would make more sense for him to have his own one.



Item function(s): Works exactly the same as a cargo tug except it cannot be attached to a cargo train.

Item description: Its one of them battery powered scooters designed to carry fatties.

Item appearance: Looks identical to a cargo tug, if possible could it be red instead of yellow?



Additional comments: Not sure how hard this will be to code but any input will be greatly appreciated. Might need to redesign the key from saying "Cargo Tug", if the "Pussy Wagon" key is in the code it would be great.

One major problem I can see with this is with how cargo tugs currently work, you'll essentially be immune to every form on non-lethal takedown method security has available. You'll be immune to tasers, stunbatons, and flashes while on it.

 

That wouldn't change much seeing how I Nomak constantly uses one at the moment. The only thing that it will change is he won't have to order one every shift. I do see why it would be a concern though.

It's an issue because it provides an advantage. Along with at that, I will absolutely NOT grant you an item called fatty scooter or pussy wagon. The reasoning behind that is obvious, I hope.

 

The item is named Mobility Scooter, Tish. Not pussy wagon or fatty scooter. The first being what the old janicart keys were called, and the latter just being the title of the app.

Oh, okay, he said "pussy wagon key". I was like nuh uh, no way because apparently I can't fucking read.

 

It's alright. Anyway, if this gets accepted, I can take a crack at working out the issues with the stun baton/flashing thing. May be as simple as adding a simple check for stopping people from using the tug when they're weakened. The taser issue may be unfixable, due to the tug blocking every single shot.

Why would NanoTrasen hire this really fat person, so fat they need a scooter, instead of a Vaurca or other xeno?


Also, why a resprited cargo tug, instead of a resprited whellchair?

 

They hire blind lizard chaplains, legless cadets and many, many, SO MANY crazy people so I don't see why they wouldn't hire a fatty. I am all for it being a wheel chair with a different sprite but I like how the tug is battery powered.

Unathi mindsets on the obese are basically trolls on fitness forums manifested IRL. If you can put up with the abuse from unathi players (who I encourage to properly harass those who are really weird) then this is probably passable. We've hired worse.

Glad you could use me as an example. Also, don't forget Cargo Kitten.


In case I didn't make it clear enough with my last post, this has my support.

Y'know what, let's just fire everyone and replace them with lawed IPC's! That'd be far more efficient. Why better yet, let's allow sociopaths, mangled war veterans with P-T-S-D, constantly FURious Tajarans. BUT GOD FORBID A FAT PERSON. Lord help us, they'll tear the fabric of this station apart!


Why wouldn't a re-sprited cargo tug be able to work? If Demonofthefall is going to be running people over, stealing and going into high speed chases as their obese character that's a roleplay issue.

Im fine with the resprited wheelchair. And yes I have already suffered a lot of fatty hate while playing Nomak which is hilarious and I encourage it. He has had his cargo tug stolen and people often give him weird looks for being a fattie. I always wondered what Unathi views were on fat people, is it like in the old days were it was a sign of wealth?

They're a very militant race who pride themselves on physical combat, and by extention, physical fitness. Being a fat sack of lard is basically being weak and soft, out of shape. Disgusting to unathi.
