Applicable Byond Key - Pebbleroni Korvara
Character Name: N/A (not chosen yet, but mecha)
Request type: Character appearance and racial features
Request Details: I would like to apply for several minor/major mechanation features to see what I can and cannot use for designing a Mechanation playby for korvara. I have attatched an image with a potential reference for clarity. I have attempted to design this character to where if a feature is denied, it can still comply with the standard mechanation allowed features (Eg, if the head is not allowed, it is merely a helmet).
Specific Requests:
- For some segments of the body to have metal plating in place of synthetic skin. If not allowed, then for it to be armour which covers exposed wires and other mech-y insides.
- For gyroscopic heels which can function as wheels for short ranged rolling and sliding movement, if not allowed, they'll be normal feet.
- For a head which lacks some facial features, namely eyes and nose. A mouth would still be present in the form of an exposable jaw (pictured in the top right). If not allowed, then to have a humanoid head inside the helmet, ideally with sunken eyes (as pictured in the bottom right).
- For a single eye to be a stalk, comparable to Daleks. No shooting functionalities, it is just a stalk with the functionality of an eye.
Reasons why I make this request: I will not lie in my bias towards designs which have more bizarre features atypical of standard android designs, I simply think the need to have a face is one mechanation lore can be a bit more lax on. Many people have mechanations which explain helmet-like heads with them having a more human face underneath, which I personally find redundant and limiting in terms of satisfaction and playby availability.
"What is the point of a face when their head 99% of the time is a helmet," or "What is the point of synthetic skin if it is always beneath metal plating." Is what i mainly get at. In my opinion the more helmet headed mechanations could still feel plenty human if it looks like their body conforms to human anatomy. (Like their head looking more like a daft punk helmet than, say, V1 Ultrakill).
I also make this request so I know what my boundaries are for designing this mechanation, of course.
Roleplay and Lore supporting my request: Korvara mechanations are different than G6 ones, it could be worth it to try and shake things up! Especially with the newer section of the playerbase who have never had the chance to use Mechanations before.
I will also use this section to ask on the blot. I am sure that any degree of inhumanity will have IC consequences of a shorter lifespan, I simply want to know both the severity of it and OOC guidelines i'd have to follow. (As in, would i have to stop playing this character after x amount of ooc time? (Yipes!))
Thank you for listening to the robofreak rambling :>
