BYOND Key: Alberyk

Character name: Sslazhir Yinzr

Item name: Marching Sandals


Why is your character carrying said item to work?

They are much hardened sandals designed to fill the same purpose of jackboots, but adapted to deal with the clear limitation of unathi when wearing shoes, since they are limited to sandals, which are clearly not the best option for security work, or toeless jackboots that makes little sense.


And since Yinzr works as a security officer, and that requires a lot of patrolling, walking around and running after crewmembers, it would make sense for him to bring some native, and traditional, foot-wear that would allow him to do his duties without troubles to his clawed feet.



Item function(s): They work like jackboots, security foot-gear.

Item description: A pair of sturdy marching sandals made of layers of leather and with a reinforced sole, they are also rather big.

Item appearance: A pair of leather sandals, they cover most of someone’s feet, like jackboots do.



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP?

Like sandals or toeless jackboots, those would be a clear xeno oriented foot-wear. They would reinforce the limitations and physical differences of the unathi species. Besides showing some of the user background and related job, mostly by being foot-wear related to its home world, culture and job on station.


Additional comments:

By the way, this item is loosely based on the roman marching boots, even if they were similar to sandals, but not really sandals.
