Ikrad's beret and letter


Recommended Posts

Posted

BYOND Key: House_Of_Synth

Character name: Ikrad Yam'hir

Item name: LR-31MTA Beret


Why is your character carrying said item to work? Well this beret is one of the only things Ikrad has the links him back to his past. This beret was apart of his old work uniform, when he worked as an assistant (apprentice) for the maintenance team on an artillery cannon.



Item function(s): Other than a clothing item I would like it to have a "flap" inside, secured shut by a piece of thick elastic that loops around a button (the clothing kind). Inside would be a folded letter (see the item below).

Item description: A silver beret with an insignia on the front, it looks like an old Tajaran cannon with a ring around it. Along the top half of the ring "LR-31MTA" is engraved. The word "Yam'hir" is engraved along the bottom half of the ring. The beret looks old and is worn in some places around the edges. It appears to have a flap inside, secured by a piece of elastic that loops around a button.

Item appearance: The description sums this section up, although here is an image of the item sprite.

(All the sprites including the worn and item states are in a folder that can be downloaded with the link at the bottom of the application)



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It's a conversation starter for one, I plan on making this a very important item to Ikrad, offering different scenarios of RP.

Additional comments: None here.





Item name: Tattered Letter


Why is your character carrying said item to work? The other piece of Ikrad's past. This one in the form of a tattered letter. This was actually the last letter Ikrad ever sent to his mother before she passed. He sees them as his last words and often carries them with him for sentimentality. This is why he keeps the letter folded inside the flap in his beret.



Item function(s): Just a simple piece of paper, essentially a static sprite. Hopefully I'll be able to have this paper placed inside the beret but only this letter will go in and nothing else. (I would assume the code could be adapted from something else, magazines being inserted into their respective weapon for example)

Item description: A tattered looking piece of paper that looks to have been folded multiple times. Although written in Siik'Maas it seems to be laid out like a letter, addressed to an 'Ikta Yam'hir' and written in quite an untidy scrawl.. The letter is torn in some places and the is writing faded.

Item appearance: An image of the sprite I made for it.

(again all sprites are in the folder)



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? Ikrad reflects on this letter alot, since the words it contains are essentially his last to his mother (Whom he obviously cared deeply for). It also represents his mistake of leaving his mother to join the maintenance team. A choice he made which he still regrets.

Additional comments:First time making a Custom Item, please have mercy on me ;-; -Constructive criticism is appreciated!

Ikrad is a good kitty, a very good little kitty. Every time I see him in his beret I think he's an apprentice who stole the engi RIG. At least with this he'd have a beret that meant something. I think he could put this to good use.

Please just let him have this, the orange beret with the CE RIG makes me want to stab my fashion loving eyes with a screwdriver, this might actually look good.

But in all seriousness Ikrad is a nice well rounded and developed character and I think something like this could only enhance the interactions with him.

Both IC and OOC Ikrad is a nice person, and fun to RP with, I can see both of these items helping him on his RP journey, you have my support Synth

Good luck!

I've only interacted with Ikrad on a few occasions, but the backstory makes sense, and it seems like it'd help stimulate RP. (And apparently look better than the beret he currently uses.)


Support, +1, whatever. I like this. I hope it gets made.
