Coalf Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 BYOND Key: Coalf Character name: R.U.R Item name: Tagging Collar Why is your character carrying said item to work?: With the recent anti-synth/pro-synth(anti-synth pride galaxy wide) I've decided to take this character, a synth, to the pro-synth side, it printed flyers that it put up in work, often engaged in arguments about synthetics and freedom and proudly wore the Synthetic Movement Armband. But I decided to take this character on a wild ride, since it's a cyborg turned IPC, bought and freed it of course had no idea how taxes, money and such things work often buying groceries only because other people bought them of course it gave them out to animals and things at the end of the day, but this mismanagement of money leads to harsh lessons, such as debt. Eventually not being able to handle all of the debt after being fired from its job, the synth had to sell it's house (Which technically didn't even belong to it, it was only rented so even more legal problems came from that) after that the lack of money was even more apperant as the synth couldn't even afford basic upkeep eventually resulting in the synth being bought for a steal transferring the debt to the owner who happily paid it off. Now when a man acquires property, he needs to show off it's his and if that man is a very important man he would want everyone to see that it's HIS property, such is Jon Grelway owner of Deringer Industries, after all the synth WAS a very avid fan of the Synthetic Freedom Movement and such a mark of his power would also serve as a reminder as to what happens to people that stand in the way of a rolling boulder. In short R.U.R is property owned by Deringer Industries and as such was LENDED to NanoTrasen since technically it doesn't actually work for NanoTrasen but is simply borrowed, all of it's pay automatically goes to Deringer Industries and as such R.U.R isn't actually a co-worker but equipment a good example would be a Cyborg from Hephaestus, Cloning Equipment from Zhen-shu or a toaster from Space Walmart. Item function(s): Synthetics can wear it, humans and others shouldn't be able to wear it since it's also supposed to work as a tag, and since I want it to be a tag I also played with the idea of it killing the wearer when removed. I also planned it to occupy the mask slot since IPCs don't actually use the mask slot. Item description: "A steel tagging collar, a giant golden D is imprinted on the front." Item appearance: DMI files for an easier job. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fnpoh3z1qecordm/AAAqCJr804bsrr66S7Tz19a_a?dl=0 on mob, nothing special I know the side view and back view are almost the same. in hand sprite, not that fancy either, if someone can do better would be appreciated. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? The contest came at the exactly right time and even if R.U.R was never an antag I wasn't afraid to use the contest to promote pro-synth policies such as handing out flyers, helping out synthetics and even giving advice to augmented humans on where they should go if they want quick and easy fixes. This is why this idea appeals to me, a simple flavourtext just wouldn't do it, I admit, I don't need this I simply want this, it's vocal and eye hitting and something you wouldn't see in such a century on a human, I want this to be provocative and something R.U.R would try and hide from other co-workers, I honestly think it's something that would simply show how far things can go if you stand against something that you can't actually fight, Additional comments: Sorry I made this application so long but I felt like I needed to explain including something like this in the game.
Alberyk Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Item done and added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it now.
