HowlWolfie Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 BYOND Key: HowlWolfie Character name: M00N-LIGHT Item name: Chassis [ Recolored/designed Feline Chassis ] Why is your character carrying said item to work? It is her body. Technically, she is not carrying it, but it is her herself. Item function(s): The personal artificial intelligence known as M00N-LIGHT has a custom chassis due to how often she is chosen as a chassis, and in order to promote choosing this personality over others. Also, it is to improve communication and moral support via producing a friendlier appearance for the pAI. Item description: Unlike the chassis' normal coloration, it is more feline, and the traditional glowing studs are now smaller[thus, unable to be seen via sprite, but still there nontheless.]. This feline chassis is designed so that M00N is more friendly and easier to speak to, as speaking to a solid black robot can be.. difficult, sometimes. Item appearance: ONE OF THE .PNGs OF THE SPRITESHEET IS SHOWN. FULL SPRITESHEET[TO ACTUAL SCALE] WILL BE PROVIDED TO STAFF ON STAFF REQUEST. .BMI WILL BE PROVIDED TO STAFF IF THIS IS ACCEPTED; OTHERWISE, I WILL NOT RISK OTHERS USING IT FOR THEIR OWN. BMI HAS GLOWING CYAN EYES RATHER THAN NONGLOWING EYES IN ORDER TO KEEP UP THE ROBOTIC THEME. [sorry for the yelling, I've had people try to steal it before...] How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? M00N will stand out and be easier to roleplay with. I have roleplayed with both versions of the cat chassis before, and this custom one has proven to be more approachable, more attractive to roleplay, and permits me to roleplay my main significantly more often than I normally would be able to do. Additional comments: Spriting done by me. Do not use for any other purpose. Only HowlWolfie is permitted to use this sprite, as that is how and why it was created. BMI is functional and has been proven to work, both in older updates[over a year ago] and current updates.[once again, I've have someone try to steal it before!] EDIT: Drawn out version of the sprite. Artist.. still is me. Link to comment
Muncorn Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 So, I like the idea, I really do. It's a nice sprite, it's a good idea, but there's two problems with it on the face of it. 1: Code. Having a custom character sprite for a pAI would be fairly difficult, and generally considered not worth it in most cases, but this is quite minor, I'd need Alb to input to evaluate this. 2: Lore. The pAI's used onstation are mass produced, cheap units generally meant for use by heads; though this is never the case onstation. A custom chassis would never happen unless some adventurous scientist did it, and that's not in our code right now. So no, this would not happen without a lot of difficult to sort out, finicky details, like being brought onstation by somebody and having you; the pAI; being the custom item itself. So no, despite the fact I like this, I can't approve it on the basis of it being far, far to difficult to fit in in any reasonable way. Link to comment
Jennalele Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Agreed. While I'd love to have custom chassii for RED, Inic and Nebula's Echo systems, it just doesn't fit the lore right now, unless somebody brought their own M00N card on station with them. Link to comment
