Kalren Halstere's uniform replacement application

[Brutishcrab51]

BYOND Key: Brutishcrab51.

Character name: Kalren Halstere.

Item name: Martian Militia dress uniform.

Why is your character carrying said item to work?

For much the same reasoning as Halstere has worn a Solarian uniform up until now, it's a display of his reserve status as a Martian Officer, that is valid only whilst he's off-duty and as a Visitor. It's an article of clothing, and outstandingly, a large one given it's a full uniform.[/hr]

Item function(s): It's little more than an article of clothing. A trenchcoat to go on the o_clothing slot, a uniform on the i_clothing slot, and a peak cap on the head slot.

Item description: Martian Militia Dress Uniform: A brick-red uniform with golden shoulder-scrubbers, a crisp tie, and golden buttons, complete with steel-grey slacks. An image of Olympus Mons is stamped on the left bicep.

Martian Militia Officer Coat: A decorated military coat with an aiguillette, arm-bars, and golden buttons. Made of a thick material.

Martian Militia Dress Cap: A red and black peak cap with a golden Officer Corps indicator on the brow.

Item appearance:

 

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

In much the same way as I have been with the Solarian uniform - it's a conversational piece, and shows a bit of life outside of the Aurora. If there's one thing Halstere is by now, it's a Martian Nationalist, and it'd make sense to replace the Solarian uniform with something more relevant to the character. The uniform is still an official Solarian uniform - but, more of a sub-branch, a uniform specific to Mars.

Additional comments: The sprites for the uniform are completely finished, as such, if additional images are needed for the item appearances, do let me know. Credit to Pegasus for spriting them. As well, I am expecting, hoping for, and 100% alright with the clothing being job-locked behind Visitor, just as the previous Solarian Marine Dress uniform was.

As my character sometimes gets involved with the RP of Halstere's, I can tell you-- This guy is a genius. I just *love* Role Playing with that guy. I believe that any other piece that will be added by him, and be involved with Crab's roleplay, will level up his and his surrounding's roleplay.

Halstere is a great character to roleplay with in my opinion, from the chats at the bar, Brutish really does know his lore, and his very very good at presenting his character and not breaking roleplay in anyway shape or form. Nor have I ever had a "bad" RP experience with him, personally I think this would give him that extra Uniqueness to make him stand out more, and allow others to interact with him.

I'm fine with the uniform and as it's just a replacement for an already existing successful uniform I don't think I need to say anything more other than I wish it was more orange as it looks very similar in colour to the new Dominia clothes that are on their way.

Eh, nobody gives a fuck about Dominia anyway except for Rome memes. I'm going to patiently wait for the lorica segmentata custom item applications.

Application accepted.

Items done and added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it now.
