Chop This

In East Asia the Chop is a seal, carved from a small block of wood or ivory that usually says something like &quot;This is the seal of [insert name]&quot; A chop is a legal signature used in documents and art. At its most basic its a block print. Because they are carved from wood or ivory you get a unique print like a finger print.<br /><br />I was thinking that this is an interesting custom and that we should barrow it for one of the races; vrusk and ifshnit are the ones that jump out to me. <br /><br />I was also thinking we could update it, make it more sci-fi ish. Perhaps a Laser chop. based of the laser scalpel from the med kit. Perhaps a wand with a patterned plate at one end. inside is a laser etcher that etches that pattern when pressed against paper, plastics, metal, even flesh would be possible. But then I guess since its not organic like the Japanese chop (wood or ivory) then it would be easy to duplicate and thus useless for a signature. <br /><br />Not exactly sure what to do with this yet, have to think on it away.
