alexpkeaton Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 BYOND Key: AlexPKeaton Character name: Jack Edwardson Item name: PRESS Vest Why is your character carrying said item to work?: It identifies Jack as a member of the press. Often Jack will attempt to make contact with hostile elements and the vest indicates that Jack is a member of the press. It gives him visibility where he can be identified from a distance. Item function(s): A vest (security-style and protection preferred) with the word "PRESS" emblazoned on the back (and front, if possible). High-visibility coloring of the vest. Pockets inside the vest preferred. Item description: As above... The closest sprite available now is the hazard vest (Jack will sometimes get a labeler and label a hazard vest "PRESS"), though it should be at least recolored to not be confused with the engineering variety. "PRESS" or a picture of a camera emblazoned on the reverse if not both sides. While Jack would love an "I-TEAM" vest for his own schtick, this vest should be generic enough to add to the loadout for any journalist to use, hence just "PRESS". At least 2 pockets (more is always useful). Similar buff as security armor, though this can be axed if it is determined to cause a balance issue. Item appearance: As above... i would recommend a gold sprite with blue lettering of "PRESS". The vest should take up as much real estate on the upper body as possible and can be bulky if armor is added as preferable. This may be best accomplished with a reskin of the hazard vest. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It will make Jack more visible and recognizable to be approached by crew members for interviews and comments, and, when shadowing security (whether of not security wants him there), Jack can stand out from armed individuals. Thanks for your consideration (and readership)!

TishinaStalker Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 ^ Oh yeah and that brings me to why I'll be denying this now that I think about it. There's little to no reason to to bring a vest depicting "PRESS" onto the station. You don't come into work expecting to get in a firefight as a journalist. If anything, you're probably expecting the most exciting thing (sec-wise in-terms of hostile action) to cover is people fighting for whatever X or Y reason. Application denied.
