Character name: Paul Bird

Item name: Tinfoil Station Bounced Radio (and if that name is too long, just use Tinfoil Radio)


Why is your character carrying said item to work?

Paul Bird the Third is a journalist and the host of the station's conspiracy theory and paranormal radio show, 148.9: The Bird Nest. His immense fear of a secret society that doesn't really exist has led him to bring his own station bounced radio from home that he has encased in tinfoil, which he believes will prevent them from finding the location of his broadcasts. As a radio host, having a broadcasting radio is vital to his job.



Item function(s): Your standard station bounced radio, only wrapped in tinfoil.

Item description: With this radio, you can expose the truth without THEM being able to locate where you're broadcasting from! It appears to be wrapped in tinfoil.

Item appearance: Your standard station bounced radio, only wrapped in tinfoil.



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP?

The radio will of course be used to broadcast Bird's radio show, which features segments where listeners can call into the show and discuss the various paranormal topics Bird covers. The call-in segments of the show generates RP for those listening and calling into the show.

You do know tinfoil DOES block some signals, right? how will the radio actually broadcast if the signals are being blocked? unless our station bounds run at cell frequencies it won't work.

Realistic vs believable. Eh. I could believe that.

It's the whole concept though, why try to block radio signals going to and out of your radio? it doesn't really make much sense. It'd be better if it was a modified radio that bird worked on with wires and things going out.

It could easily just be a resprited hat with snowflake code that blocks worn radio headsets from working. Paul Bird tends to carry around a station bounce radio anyway.
