Signature command

Signature
Used to activate a (custom) SIGNATURE verb.
Variable, by design. These are custom actions.

Explainer

Signature verbs are a way for you to customize an action for your character. Smile in a certain way, react to things with a particular expression. Take a specific stance in preparation for... whatever is coming. Think about your character and maybe an action or emote you use frequently, and then think of how to tailor it more perfectly.

Signature verbs must make sense in any time or place. Indoors, outdoors. Cold weather, hot weather. They should not rely upon any object your character may or may not be holding. They cannot force a reaction out of another character, but can be targetted towards someone else (there's one out there that "dances around you" for a moment, for example). The 'target' can be a player, an item, or no target at all.

You can write up to 5 messages for these verbs:

• With target: The text you see.
• With target: The text the target player (if there is one) sees.
• With target: The text that the room will see.
• Without target: The text you see.
• Without target: The text that the room will see.

You can do a targeted batch and need those three. You can do a no target batch, and need those two. You can do both, and need all five. So: 2, 3, or 5.

Example

An example of SIGNATURE SPARKLE RINAE would be:

Zadraes sees:
Glistening mischeviously, your eyes twinkle brightly at Rinae.

Rinae sees:
A mischevious twinkle is reflected in Zadraes's eyes as they are turned to gaze into yours.

Room sees:
Glistening mischeviously, Zadraes's eyes twinkle brightly at Rinae.

Getting Signature Verbs

Custom SIGNATURE verbs are alterations. They're typically obtained in one of two ways:

1. Estate Holders can purchase a curious copper object, using their LTB points, inside in the Oak Hut in Fang Cove.
2. Live merchants, such as Zipsy, have appeared during events like Hollow Eve and have offered this service.

(Similar rules to the above custom options apply as well. Actions should be kept short, the messages are ONLY fluff in nature -- you won't be able to affect anyone -- no glowing with energy, the GM working on it has the final decision in approving a request or not.)
