Not Megatron Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) BYOND Key: Not megatron Character name: Caleb Greene Item name: Worn Badge Why is your character carrying said item to work? Caleb's been with NanoTrasen for a long time, and he's proud of his service. He carries it with him as a memento, Item function(s): It functions like a normal holobadge, can be attached to your suit, can be held up, fits in a wallet, etc. Item description: A simple gold badge denoting the wearer as Head of Security. It is worn and dulled with age, but the name, Caleb Greene, is still clearly legible. The display message would read something along the lines of "______ holds up the gold badge, displaying the words "Caleb Greene, NOS Apollo Head of Security" engraved on its face. If clicking yourself with it, there'd be a little blurb to the effect of "_____ polishes the face of the badge, examining it closely for dirt" Item appearance: Like a standard holobadge, but a gold coloring instead of blue, and without the red outline How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It's a conversation piece. The badge is a symbol of who he is, what he's done since he transferred from the Aurora. It could be a valuable item for antags, if he was ever targeted for any reason. Additional comments: It may have something on it about Apollo Station, probably in the display message if anywhere, to keep it from being used to deceive people. If that's lorebreaking or something, I don't see any reason it couldn't be voided. That aside, Caleb isn't exactly the deceptive type to begin with. The description is a bit wordy, but I'm not sure how to trim it without losing content I probably wouldn't bring it on-station except when I go Visitor, or if I do keep it on me while playing a different role, I wouldn't have it visible. It'd obviously cause some confusion if I did. Edited October 6, 2016 by Guest
Blingx3 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Wouldn't you think he'd keep something like this on his desk, or rather as a trophy in his house, It sounds odd that he'd carry around a /gold/ badge. I'd like to see more depth add to the backstory, something intresting perhaps, but that's my opinion.
Not Megatron Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 Wouldn't you think he'd keep something like this on his desk, or rather as a trophy in his house, It sounds odd that he'd carry around a /gold/ badge. I'd like to see more depth add to the backstory, something intresting perhaps, but that's my opinion. I wasn't thinking specifically made of gold, just gold in color. Maybe it's paint or something. But aside from that, I guess the closest analogy is when people wear their class rings, even after they graduate. It's a memento. And, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by backstory depth. He's a former head of security, and after he retired, he kept his badge, as well as a few other goodies.
Catnip Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 I've had some great interactions with Greene involving his old employment as a HoS, this would serve as a good way to stimulate more of those great interactions with others, and flesh out the character further, to some degree. +1
Alberyk Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Item done and added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it now.
