Yuri's Martian Duster


Recommended Posts

BYOND Key: BV1000

Character name: Yuri Daruski

Item name: Martian Duster


Why is your character carrying said item to work? Over the past few days Yuri has been becoming more open about his past on Mars. Part of him wants to bring it as motivation as his encounters with a certain someone which I’d rather not give away publicly on here (If it hampers the app process I can DM you the who and what)



Item function(s): Nostalgia piece and possible conversation starter. IC-ly it’s a tougher fabric with a few small metal plates on in. Theoretically it could take a punch or two but I’m not so sure I want it viewed as powergamey at all. So if that seems like it could be the case the “stats” of a similar piece of in-game clothing would be fine.

Item description: A Martian Duster. A longer coat made of a tough fabric designed to protect the wearer from the harshness of the Mars badlands found beyond the terraformed areas said planet. It appears this duster seems to have a few relatively thin metal plates attached to it. Two scorched holes can be found on the lower back, and three non-scorched holes appear in the upper torso in the back, with two lining up with two in the front.

- Kinda reminds me of the Duster from Red Faction Guerrilla.



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? This coat can add a plethora of conversation pieces for some deep RP if the players take time to peel off the layers of Yuri’s outer being to get at his past. Additionally, should it come to an antagonist round seeing the jacket again could sent him over the mental edge, being afflicted by a bad case of PTSD, or perhaps some sort of “sleeper agent” situation, giving a motive to the actions that can be built upon. I also would like to see how well the duster would complement the look in relation to the cargo department, having a similar color scheme.


Additional comments: Additional notes: I would really like to test the outfit to see how it looks on an actual character in game. We've only superimposed Yuri's face on it but haven't taken it for a test drive yet. This is something I’ve been trying to be in since the days of BestRP and the Phoenix. As such we’ve never been given the proper chance to “Play test” it so to say, to see if we need to fix anything with the model. Big, super, tons of thanks to Renee Aria for helping me out with this outfit, doing all the actual pixel art. Both of us would really like to see it in action.
