Fandom TRANSFORMERS: UNSTABLE ALLIANCE (Characters)

What I'm looking for: First and foremost I'm looking for players/characters who will more or less go with the flow of Sir_Magic and my story direction. At least the big picture stuff. In order to continually progress the overall story and ensure major payoffs along the way — be they tragedy or triumph — we've plotted this out from start to finish.

Our plans aren't exactly set in stone. They can (and will likely) adjust depending on how events in the roleplay unfold. But in those instances it will be Sir_Magic and I who step back, take stock of what the players and Quintessons have done, and then reroute our course towards the story's end.

Outside of that only canon Transformers are allowed. I'd prefer they be Gen 1 (original cartoon series or original movie), but I will consider Transformers from other universes and timelines. And I'd prefer them to be somewhat "typical" Autobots or Decepticons. By that I mean having a certain amount of faction affinity, a history with the Civil War, and a power level that doesn't exceed or rival the faction commanders.


1) Touch base with me first via the Interest Check or PM before posting in this thread.

2) Players can select and write for up to two Transformers (though selecting only one character is perfectly fine), but the pair must be from different factions (Autobot/Decepticon).

3) Leeway will be given for some amount of personality interpretation.

I posted a code for a character sheet below. You aren't required to use it, just make sure to include roughly the same information.

Rank: Commander

Brief Bio: Because of Optimus Prime's recent death during the attack on Decagon, Hot Rod has once again been reformatted by the Matrix of Leadership into Rodimus Prime. The fate of the Autobots now rest on his broad, garnet shoulders. During his previous stint as commander, Rodimus never managed to fully shed his doubts as to whether he was worthy of such a consequential responsibility. And those doubts have returned.

But the Quintesson invasion has left no time for soul searching. The Autobots' backs are completely up against the wall, and in the strangest twist of fate the enemy who killed the legendary Optimus Prime is now their only hope. The path to keeping the Transformers alive has yet to reveal itself, but one thing is clear: Rodimus must not let this Unstable Alliance fall apart.

Faction: Autobot
Rank: Member
Primary Role: Espionage expert

Appearance:


Alternate Mode(s):


Weapons & Abilities:

• Fuel efficiency: His one special ability is slowly seeming more dated as smaller Cybertronians are produced like the Micro Masters, but as the smallest of his crew, Bee's energy conservation was a valued asset.
• Jet pack: Once used for missions where an Autobot with a land or sea-based alt mode might need to fly somewhere without the assistance of a comrade, Bumblebee kept it as a token of his time on Earth.

Weaknesses: Bumblebee is the smallest and physically weakest of the Autobots that initially came to Earth. In comparison, he's very easy to damage.

Personality: Bumblebee is the little brother figure of the old guard of Autobots; a sweet boy with a tendency to make jokes and get himself into trouble. He's a figure of perpetual youth in a lot of respects, not having been upgraded past his adolescence.
The war has taken a lot out of the guy, and it's impacted him like it would anyone of his relative age.



Brief Bio:

Faction: Decepticon
Rank: Member
Primary Role: Tracker

Appearance:



Alternate Mode(s):



Weapons & Abilities:

• Headmaster: 'More...Much more than meets the eye!' The reality of Weirdwolf's existence is that his alt form is actually a head that slots into a transtector body.
• Tail and/or sword: Weirdwolf's alt mode's tail becomes a thermo sword. He's proficient in putting it through the bodies of others.
• Photon Pistol: Pew Pew.
• Animal senses: Thanks to his wolf alt-form, 'Wolf has a bloodhound-like sense of smell.

Weaknesses:

• Crossed mental wires: A flaw in his construction (the quite literal crossing of wires) is the cause of his strange behavioral quirks and speech patterns.

Personality:
Wolf is an oddball. A vicious oddball with a weird speech pattern and a knack for tracking.

Weirdwolf occupies a position somewhere between an outsider artist and a warrior poet, breaking into rhyme occasionally. He actively peruses the art form between missions.

Brief Bio:
Weirdwolf (né Wolf) was a refuge on the planet Master after crashing there millions of years ago under the leadership of Fortress Maximus. The harsh conditions of the planet forced the monoform cyberdroids to develop headmaster technology, which the young poet eventually adopted, becoming Weirdwolf.

By 2007, the Headmasters joined the war, with one half siding with Scorponok and the Decepticon cause and the other joining Fortress Maximus and the Autobots.
Before the war's end, Weirdwolf witnessed Maximus's destruction at the hands of Scorponok, which inspired his popular elegy "Cerebros."

After the truce between the two Cybertronian factions, the poet helped form the Society for Cybertronian Art with Autobots Wheelie and Grapple. The society hopes to return artistic apprecation to the still heavily-divided culture of Cybertron.

Rank: Commander

Brief Bio:
The ruthless Galvatron, recently reformatted from the fallen Megatron, is an evil mad genius. His intellect knows no bounds. You may think you are one step ahead of him, but he's already 12 ahead of you. Taking no kindness from anyone, Galvatron struck down starscream mere moments after his transformation. "That backstabber finally got what he deserved."

Faction: Decepticon
Rank:Member
Primary Role: Seeker, Bomber

Appearance:

Alternate Mode(s):

Weapons & Abilities:
Two mini guns he keeps on hand or on hips at all times.
Also two swords he keeps on hands at all times.
Weaknesses:
Nacells is plagued by doubt. He has never had a chance to prove himself. The only thing he is used to do is to bomb regions of space. He craves a chance to be on the front lines and make a change to the war.
Personality:
Nacelle is an upbeat bot despite his boring status. He laughs a lot, which upsets Galvatron, perhaps one of the reasons he is kept on the sideline. The guy also loves mayhem. He laughs and adores the chaos he makes. A bit of a sadistic bot.
Brief Bio:
Nacelle of Emissary (Northernmost city on Cybertron) had a simple life. Being forged a jet gave him access to the whole planet. Slowly overtime he began to make routes & charts of his travels. He also began to become a cargo jet because of his ability to travel long distances. Energon became a second commodity he carried to and from places.
Then war broke out. Two prominent sides. Nacelle didn't know who to join. He originally aligned with autobot ideals, but saw how restrictive they were. It was then he became a decepticon & emblazoned the crest on his left shoulder.

Immediately he was enlisted into the decepticons where he was put on the sideline. Starscream's seekers had swooned Megatron into being the main advancement of the decepticon forces. Jetfire, a large warrior in and of himself, was immediately inducted into what Nacelle thought was his opportunity to become a seeker after the disappearance of Thrust. He holds some resentment towards Jetfire for this. After the Demise of Starscream, Nacelle was promoted & told very sternly, "You blast the wrong zone, you're ashes before you even land," by Galvatron himself.

Rank: Member

Brief Bio: A firm supporter of Megatron during his initial rise to power, Flywheels loyalty earned him a position as one of his elite guard until his constant arguments with himself saw him reassigned to the planet Nebulos, transporting troops and supplies to the planet's surface from the Decepticon's orbital station. Recently recalled back to Cybertron to take part in Galvatron's grand offensive, Flywheels relishes the chance to see combat again as well the opportunity to prove his worth to Galvatron and finally get off Nebulos.

Rank: Member

Brief Bio: A super-charged fighting machine thanks to the Nucleon coursing through his systems, Rollout and his partner Glitch were recently assigned to the starship Lost Light for a top-secret mission. Ever since the craft's return to Cybertron however, Rollout has been kept busy in aiding with various rebuilding projects across the planet but the lack of action has made him rather moody. He would love nothing more than to be in the thick of it again and with the Quintesson invasion looming, it looks like he may of gotten his wish.
