Ghoz's Prosthetic Eyelids


Recommended Posts

BYOND Key: Sleepy Wolf

Character name: Ka'Akaix'Ghoz Zo'ra

Item name: Prosthetic Vaurca Eyelids


Why is your character carrying said item to work?

All Ghoz did, day after day in his own false Reality, was work on drones. Maintaining and repairing, dismantling and commanding. His Virtual Reality was perfect. Non-stop work, excellent flow of input and results - If a drone came to his chamber to be repaired, he commanded the drones at his disposal to work seamlessly with each other, none interrupting the other. Then, the pod hissed. His neural socket unlatched from his Perfect World. He was ejected. Forced into this world where the blinding lights burn like Sedantis - Forced into the brightness and pain. His head ached all the time now, either from the violent screens on the walls, or the ignorant species that would shine their lights in his direction. These other species won't adapt to our Hives ways, so we have to adapt ourselves. He saw how these other species weren't reacting to the light as painfully - Flesh over their eyes, moving at will.

Ingenuity and flexibility - That's what Akaix means.



Item function(s): 'Open' and 'Close' the eyelids, like a welding mask or welding goggles.

Item description: A small contraption of micro-actuators with a button on the side.

The .dmi are down below for inventory sprite and head sprite.

 



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? Ghoz will probably gloat about how evolution is something someone has to work for, and claim this simple invention as an example.

Additional comments:

I only ever play Ghoz as a roboticist - Never as a visitor or anything, that's not what a Vaurca would do. They're always working - So, as a roboticist, I'd always have access to the multiple welding masks and such.

Here's the .dmi for the handheld sprite! Hope it works.

If I could suggest a modkit-style item for this? So that there's absolutely no complaints about the item having functionality?

On the actual object itself, I think it's really cool. Definitely makes sense that someone working in robotics would make use of robotics' tools.


Finally, if these go through, they'll be quite easy to miss unless you actively RP them (which, knowing you, you will).
