BYOND Key: Synnono

Character name: Zahra Karimi

Item name: Indigo remembrance pin


Why is your character carrying said item to work?


The story of Indigo's contentious captivity and disassembly has strengthened Zahra's support of improved synthetic legal rights in the Republic, and she wants to wear the pin to work to share that support with crew on board. It could either be something UNITY decided to distribute to recent donors (thoughts, Nebula?) or just manufactured and distributed by sympathetic citizens.



Item function(s):

None/cosmetic. It would ideally attach to a jumpsuit around the breast or collar, and be included in the look description of the character's jumpsuit.


Item description:


That's an Indigo remembrance pin.

A small metal pin, worked into the likeness of an indigo iris blossom. It can be attached to a jumpsuit.


This is Zahra Karimi!

She is wearing a scientist's jumpsuit. Attached to it is the webbing and the Indigo remembrance pin.


Item appearance:


I don't have much of an opinion on the sprite of the item itself. It's just small, so maybe something comparable/simple to a cigarette butt in visible pixel size, or a bit bigger for easier picking up. On a jumpsuit it might not even have to be visually represented, but if it were, just an indigo darkening wherever it should be attached would be fine.

 



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


The question of synthetic rights has split the Republic and the Company's population into polarized camps, and being able to see evidence of one stance or another is immediately provoking. In my opinion, Indigo and UNITY have been much more recently relevant than the SIM armband that exists in the custom loadout. I'd like an item that both expresses discontent with recent events in the short-term, and serves as a memento of the times in the long-term.


Additional comments:


It could be made a lily, rather than an iris, if that would be more appropriate (the memorial service floated flower candle-boats on the water). An iris is naturally indigo, though, and also an unintentional Mega Man X4 reference to another robot's tragic death, which I can dig. God, that game had terrible dubbing :'D

As a certain Head of Personnel during that round with the sole goal of making sure Indigo reaches the authorities safe and sound, I recall a certain lab assistant with a stun revolver start one of the bloodiest fire fights on this server. You get a +1 from me, the application cited more than enough for me.
