Ornias Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 BYOND Key: Ornias Character name: Harley O'Ryan Item name: Phoenixport Shirt/Chic Sunglasses Why is your character carrying said item to work? Harley was, until very recently, a permanent resident of Phoenixport. She has only left home for short periods of time, and even then only to nearby places like Republic's Landing or Phoenix Park. Her work opportunities with Nanotrasen is the first chance that she's ever taken to leave home, but thanks to the marvels of modern transport she is still able to return home (and spend almost the entirety of her off-hours) to Phoenixport. As such, all of her clothing, mannerisms, and fashion come from the continental capital. Not having to worry about health risks as a result of her employment (such as material spills or medical contamination), she wears her regular clothing. SHIRT: Item function(s): A shirt + jeans underwear clothing item. Portrayed as blue jeans and a t-shirt, which would be a one-time chamelion-kit-esque item which would allow the changing between 4 different shirts (Eiffel Tower Diner, Pyramids of Giza Café, 'Phoenixport', and New Parthenon). Item description: “A white t-shirt with the writing 'Eiffel Tower Diner' on it in a small font, below a recreation of the famous monument in question, the Eiffel Tower.” / “A white t-shirt with “GIZA CAFÉ” written in large, retro font, with a small background. It looks slightly well-worn.” / “A black vintage shirt with “PHOENIXPORT” written on it in a font. A small icon of an orange phoenix is perched on the “O”.” / A grey t-shirt with a stylistic white, faded depiction of the Parthenon on it. It has been cut in half, displaying the inside, with sections clearly labelled in small font. Item appearance: Basically as stated above, in however the pixel equivalent of it would be. A straight rip of the classic jeans would work fine for the legwear that goes with it. I'd just like it to stand out enough that it's noticeably different from just a regular jeans + undershirt combo. SUNGLASSES: Item function(s): Regular eyewear which provides no protection against flashes or other things which would be stopped by shades. If possible, a right-click verb to tilt the sunglasses up above the eyes would be nice, but would not be needed. Item description: “A relatively expensive set of Phoenixport-manufactured sunglasses. They do not look like they would provide much protection.” Item appearance: A pixelated version of fashionable eyewear. Something like this: http://tinyurl.com/phoenixport-glasses would be nice. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? Very rarely does any discussion of the galaxy (outside of the station) come up in day-to-day conversation. Very few people have ever heard of Selene, let alone Phoenixport. Being able to leak a little bit of the lore into gameplay would help get the information across to new and old players alike. Additional comments: I get that making four sprites for t-shirts is kind of a pain, so I'm sorry if that's inconvenient. Other ideas included a Clockworks shirt, to get across a small part of the already established lore, but I don't believe that would fit with the effect I'm trying to go for. The shirts are going to be worn with an open plaid shirt most shifts. Finally, because I'm not sure how custom items work, I'd like it to be possible for me to not spawn with this custom item sometimes. I already change my clothing every shift, and while I plan to use this custom item 4 shifts out of 5, there will be times that she'll just be wearing a plain shirt. That, and wearing sunglasses every shift may come across as obnoxious.
Alberyk Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Items done and added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it now.
