Cybertron is, for the first time in a long time, divided.
A Predacon, claiming an ancestral title of 'Megatron', gathered a party of fellow Predacons and committed crimes against Cybertron, herself.
The last that was heard on the matter was that an exploration vessal, captained by a Son of Primus, no less, was diverting course to pursue the criminals.
Either through some cosmic anomaly, or mutual destruction, they haven't been heard from since.
Cybertron is of two minds, on the matter. Old resentments have been renewed, it seems, and authorities are barely keeping the peace.
To mixed responses, the governing bodies of Cybertron announced a bipartisan effort; A search would commence in the hopes of finding their lost comrades, with cooperation between Maximals and Predacons. The people don't seem convinced, presently having their own ideas of who their 'comrades' even are, 'Fellow Cybertronians' not seeming to catch on.
Tensions aside, a crew was assembled, and sent off into space, to the last known coordinates of the Maximal vessel.
It wasn't long, however, before this mission, too, went missing...

The last transmission was garbled, and chaotic- as though there was fighting aboard? Under it all, though, was an unidentified energy signature, and a transmission within the transmission:

"Ah, Cybertronians. Let the experiment begin."


Welcome to my latest attempt to do a fanfic of an rp

The nature of the setting will be voted on by the starting players. Players will submit there nominations to me via PM, followed by my presenting the options here on OOC prior to starting the RP. The submissions we're looking for are the planet/ecosystem (Earth like, ice planet, desert planet, something to communicate what kind of ecosystems to expect), and the nature of life on the planet (Earth like organisms, alien, particular types more prevalent such as insects or plants, something to inform what kind of options players can choose/conjure up).
Please limit yourselves to one submission in each category.

We'll determine which wins by way of ranked voting; each starting player will have 3 votes. in each category you may cast 2 votes (again, submitted to me via PM for secrecy) for the idea you like the most, 1 vote for a second choice, and 0 for the remainder/ideas you simply didn't care for. This should help avoid ties, despite so few players to start with.

Once we've finished this, only then will I provide the character creation materials, and the polling will be closed, so no votes from later applicants will be accepted.

@BenG85
So I've decided that I want to play both a Maximal and Predacon. An idea for a Maximal is some kind of small animal, like a rabbit, who is security chief and a badass with a sniper rifle. No Predacon idea right now. Anyways I'm sending you a PM with my ideas.

Don't believe I've heard of combination sparks, but to start, no.

Oh, you mean combiners, huh?

A whole day has gone by with no response from dragonfly; if somebody knows why they aren't responding, feel free to PM me, otherwise I'm aiming to get this started while people are still interested, and if they come back later they can drop in via stasis pod or something. I do prefer prompt responses when addressed directly.

Tomorrow I'm posting the poll, and the character sheet.

Alright, people- here it is, the poll for what rock you land on, and what manner of critters are just-a scribble-scrabblin' around on it. :P

First, some reminders: This is two separate polls, so keep that in mind when submitting your votes to my inbox. In each poll, you will have 3 votes- you will assign 2 votes to your first choice, and 1 vote to your second choice.

Planet:

  • Earth-Like Planet
  • Earth like, with unnatural biomes; think “single biome/climate per island”.
  • Death World; predominately jungle, and excessive volcanic activity. Single super continent

Lifeforms:

  • Mostly Alien with some Earth wildlife
  • Completely alien, wildlife is hyper-aggressive and prone to rapid mutation in response to injuries

Note: There are only 2 options on the Lifeforms poll because 2 nominations were basically the same.

Please submit your votes to me via PM, I will close the polling period once all votes have been cast, or by Monday morning in my timezone, whichever comes first.

Time to reveal the results!

So, the planet to receive the most votes was: Earth like, with unnatural biomes!(4 votes out of total 9 votes)

And the wild life to be expected is: Completely alien aggro-mutants! (5 out of total 9 votes)

With that settled, I look forward to seeing the Transformers you all come up with, and getting this adventure started sometime this week! Remember to use the CS I added to the OP, and submit them to my PM- don't post in the character tab until your character has been approved!

Update:

I need to clarify that beast modes should be chosen based on where you're going; I'm uncertain if beast modes were a thing prior to the events of the original series, it seemed implied that it was a new and unusual thing, but since y'all are going to an alien ecosystem anyway, there's a lot more creative choices you can get away with, and that's just if you don't make something up entirely.

So, you won't immediately have beast modes, but the one you pick at character creation should be on the alien planet, not Earth, otherwise how did you get that in the first place?

@Forsythe I feel like Nautica and Einhorn will get along decently well, they might technically be on different sides but they both feel factions aren't that important if for different reasons

Aye. Nautica will get along fine with whoever is not actively encouraging a division, although people who are not pro war OR pro unification might find her agitating for unification annoying xD

And hey, I absolutely encourage y'all to discuss rp and plan stuff, I love when my players are proactive and don't, well, rely on me to make everything happen; I'm not writing short fiction, here, y'all have agency and no story can move along in an rp if the players don't make that happen.

You making a character too Ben, or are you going full GM mode?

Also looking forward to see who the heck causes the mayhem. The line about experiments screams Quintessons to me, but since this is BW, maybe Vok?
