So I was wondering.
For anyone who doesn't know Cherry, she's quite the ambitious little Lamini, and is constantly cooking up new ways to get money. But lately, she's been toying the idea of starting up her own fashion line and selling them to Setsuwa.
Now, as I'm sure most of us know, there aren't any clothing stores in Setsuwa (characters just wear what their makers describe for them, after all), but I was thinking of a way that Cherry could start up this business.
Let's say I made a series of items in the Item Creation thread, all clothes. Like armor, they would be worn to bring certain effects into battle. But unlike armor or charms, their effects would be less direct and more situational multipliers. Here's an example.
Rose Bangle
A pretty little rose-colored accessory to add a finishing touch to any outfit - you may want to lean on the more elegant side though, as it just has that air about it. It's great to wear to a social occasion.
(CL)(Note: CL is abbreviated for clothing.)
When in the presence of three or more people (not including Monsters), increases number of Die Sides for any roll by x1.1.
^ Kinda like that. And there would be other garments with similar kinds of effects which only activate under specific conditions. Also, to differentiate them from ME items, and keep them from becoming overpowered, a character would be limited to wearing only one CL item at a time. They would be allowed to HAVE multiple CL items, but they would have to specify which ONE they are wearing in any given thread.
I don't want multipliers stacking and making a character ridiculously overpowered.
I guess basically what I'm trying to say is that Setsuwa could use a few actual clothing shops, that sell special types of clothes, because what incentive would you have to buy regular clothes when you could just make some up? Especially those Shape Shifters.
And, since it what she really wants to do, and because Cherry's really the only one on the site who is THAT obsessed with clothes, I figured maybe she could start this business up?
I'd be willing to go through any necessary payments (since clearly, I can't just have my character open a shop for free and get free inventory) to do this, if you think this could be a neat idea.
So what do you say Melly?
