Something Vile Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 BYOND Key: Something_Vile Character name: Jane Pyre Item name: Tarnished Badge Why is your character carrying said item to work? Following my several month long hiatus from roleplaying on the server, it occurred to me that the sudden disappearance of a character I often played in coincidence with myself would be rather unbelievable without an alibi, which came in the form of an invented story for my character involving sorting out residual familial problems over the backdrop of complicated Martian politics, namely that of the state from which she originates. A long running institution in the character's framework, however, has been the death of her parents at a young age, which is directly related to the regime until recently presiding over the state. Effectively, while sorting out a cold case regarding her parents' deaths, she recovered the badge of her father, a former detective, which she kept as both a memento of her youth and as a reminder that justice is always eventually served, as in the case of her family. Appropriately, she keeps it on her person for those very reasons. Item function(s): It's a badge. It's worn on jumpsuits or clothing, is metallic, and offers no proper usage other than to display affiliation with the law. Item description: A worn, tarnished brass badge with ash and soot set deep in the grooves of its surface. The word, though faded and barely discernible, "Pyre" can be traced out lining its bottom edge. Item appearance: It's a detective's badge. I'm a loser and don't know how to sprite, but a badge with descriptor text would be sufficient. At best, if someone could sprite, the only difference to a typical detective's badge would be a few grey pixels on the front to indicate the aforementioned soot and wear. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? The item is deeply sentimental for Jane, and the wearing of it both indicates to others her commitment to her job and, if asked about, provides a, depending on familiarity with the inquirer, story of her absence of late. Otherwise, it technically doesn't do anything other than be shiny and add flavour text. Additional comments: Sorry for not having a sprite for this, I've never submitted one of these before and am a touch unclear with proper procedure.
TishinaStalker Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I'm expecting that you will not be using this when playing outside sec in order to be changed to sec/try to command them. Right?
Something Vile Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Naturally. I have no interest in disturbing the natural progression of the round if I'm not put into a position that I'd like. It'd be kind of dumb to think a flavour item would let me do whatever I wanted in personally adverse situations in a round. That being said, I don't think necessarily that the item itself would present the opportunity me to do so, given that it is a memento instead of a proper item of authority. Whatever considerations that must be considered in regards to the item are to be thought on with my condolences. I didn't even have the thought occur to me as I thought of the item and appropriately made the application.
Alberyk Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Item done and added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it now.
