Moth Cloak

Moth Cloaks

Moth Cloaks are a scripted cloak released by GM Xynwen at Ebon Gate 2022. They

Unlocks

• T2-T4 are available OTS at EG 2022 in The Cloaked Eclipse
• T5 is still under review and will be updated ASAP

Alteration Guidelines

• Base 15/15/15 can be updated but it will persist through all changes. It must fit all the moth/butterfly options.
• Noun can be any sort of flowing cloak-like noun (so cloak, mantle, cape, greatcloak, longcloak, etc). Nothing tight-fitted or with sleeves.
• Material: Will persist across all iterations of the cloak
• When you have unlocked it to allow a custom butterfly/moth, you'll need to it all the points.
  • It is strongly recommended that you play with the randomizer a bit to get used to the various options and how they are used before developing your own
  • When you LOOK at an item, it uses these points, so you can get a good idea of the flow that way: Resembling an illuminated cloakwing tenebrous moth, the spidersilk of the greatcloak features sunny yellow speckles festooned along the edges of the tenebrous forewings and ghost white sprinkles centered on the citrine hindwings. Tiny caterpillars are embroidered along the edges of the greatcloak.

• Definitions
  • Adjective: Must be 15 characters or less. This goes before the wingtype, so it's items like "opalescent" or "ragged," for example.
  • Wingtype: Wingtype/shape is to describe the wings of the butterfly or moth
  • Forewing Color: The primary color of the forewing.
  • Forewing Marking: The marking on the forewing. These can take a lot of different options, like sprinkles or speckles, etc.
  • Forewing Marking Color: Color of the marking
  • Forewing Marking Location: Where it is -- it will be followed by "forewings," so design accordingly. Example: "centered on the" or "at the tip of the"
  • Hindwing Color: Same guidance as forewings
  • Hindwing Marking: Same guidance as forewings
  • Hindwing Marking Color: Same guidance as forewings
  • Hindwing Marking Location: Same guidance as forewings
  • Special: This should be a full sentence. It's just an extra bit of flair for your cloak
  • (Repeat the above for the moth section)
• Custom SHOW: You can also add a show to your custom creation (but not to the randomized ones, since you can clean out the saved ones and re-randomize). This should not contradict the custom data points above that you created. It is also a separate alteration service (can't do both at once - these are too involved).

Analyze

Tier 5 Analyze:

~*~ Moth Cloaks ~*~
This greatcloak is a butterfly/moth cloak with several randomizing points to create multiple unique looks with a single PUSH.  It is Tier 5 out of 5, and it is set to the moth setting.  It is set to rotate with day/night changes.  You can APPROVE to toggle this setting.

The greatcloak features an encumbrance reduction (3x/day, 15 minutes each RUB, resets at midnight server time.  There are 3 charges left today.

Utilities:
  * APPROVE:  toggles whether or not your cloak will change with day and night
  * CLEAN:  will clear the selected, stored look
  * POKE: takes your randomized look and saves it in 1 of the 2 available stored slots
  * PUSH - replaces your randomized look
  * TURN - rotates through all saved looks (current randomized look, any stored randomized looks, the custom look, if applicable)
  Unlocked Fluff Verbs:  observe, tickle, eat, flip, hug, raise, bow, curtsy, brush, touch, and wave
  *  WAVE has some "drama llama" options for you!  Try WAVE CLOAK WITH (anger, drama, joy, mystery, or sorrow)

Alterations:
  * Base:  must be simple, as it carries across all looks.  The noun must be in the hooded cloak family.
  * Material:  must be a type of cloth.  This carries across all looks.
  * Custom settings:  The alter points must be provided in this specific order:
    ** "butterfly adjective^wingtype^forewing color^forewing marking^forewing marking color^forewing marking location^hindwing color^hindwing marking^hinding marking color^hindwing markinglocation^special*moth adjective^wingtype^forewing color^forewing marking^forewing marking color^forewing marking location^hindwing color^hindwing marking^hinding marking color^hindwing marking location^special
    ** Moth/Butterfly Adjective alter point must be 15 characters or less.  No a/an needed.
    ** See the wiki for in-depth information and examples (https://gswiki.play.net/Moth_Cloaks)
  * Custom Look 1 (Butterfly):  You can provide a SHOW for your custom setting.  It cannot contradict the alter points selected for the custom settings.
  * Custom Look 2 (Moth):  Same as butterfly, but for the moth version.
  * Doing a custom setting is 1 alteration service, as is each custom look (so a custom setting, butterfly look, and moth look are 3 separate alterations.  This is because each one is fairly intricate).
  * The base/material can be done by a merchant separately or at the same time as one of the custom alterations.
  *  It is up to the individual merchant if they wish to work on these items.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the spidersilk greatcloak for you or deepen its pockets.
