[OOC] Transformers G1: Shadow of the Decepticons

[Mtntopview]

I'm not as familiar in the IDW department. I'll read up and be back. And yes, evil for being evil is stupid.

[Kalamadea]

That would be nice, but isn't really necessary, actually. I joined a G1 RP, Red Storm's Rage, a couple of years ago with no clue at all about G1 lore. That RP's actually where I learned most of the lore, and that's how I'll be doing this RP's lore, since that RP was also a mix of several G1 continuities.

Name: Metalstorm

Appearance:

Large image

(The jet not the car. Ignore the car)

Alignment: Neutral (evil)

Type: Standard

Alt Mode: Metalstorm can change forms between a Cybertronian Jet.

Weaponry: Metalstorm while in vehicle form tends to use rapid-fire cannons and missiles to shoot down his opponents. When he transforms, he prefers to use his Neutron Assault rifle to cut his opponents to shreds. However, when the fighting gets up close and personal, he will always rely on his energon sword.

Special Abilities: Cloaking technology allows him to turn invisible for a short period of time.

Personality: Sometimes war can change a bot. This is clearly illustrated by Metalstorm. Once a valiant flier who dreamed only of flying as high and fast as he could, now has become a warrior who's lust for violence is as strong as his paranoia. He care's little about which side he is on, and only cares about shooting others out of the sky. Autobot or Decepticon, it doesn't matter. They both make the same sound when they hit the ground.

History: Once a proud Autobot, war slowly changed Metalstorm. Countless battles left him severely scarred, constantly fearing attack from Decepticon forces. Slowly, the paranoia consumed him, and he found escape in only one way: Shooting down Decepticons faster than they could shoot his comrades down. It was the one time that he felt free of his fear, and he was able to be at peace. However, shooting Decepticons didn't seem to be enough, he needed more. It started as a few rounds on the wrong bot, but soon grew to full on attacks against his allies. Soon after this, he was shunned from the Autobot forces, and turned to neutrality, working with both sides, depending in the scenario.

[Kalamadea]

Approved. You want me to provide an introductory scenario like I did for the other two?

[Zero Hex]

While the character could be fun I'm just gonna say, I don't really see how he'd interact with the other characters. With any character, actually, beyond shooting them and getting shot back.

That is a good point, I think I'll have him assist either team depending on the scenario.

Sure, why not.

[Kalamadea]

I think I could push things in a direction so that he'd change a bit. Maybe hit him with an ultimatum that ends up causing him to support one side over the other.

^that^
He's in the limbo right now - scenario

[Kalamadea]

Your scenario's been edited into the first post, Mtn.

Thanks. May I post for myself? Or should I wait?

[Kalamadea]

Post when you feel like doing so. I did the separate scenarios so you can get some quick action put in without waiting on other players.

EDIT: That, and I really didn't want to shoehorn people into a group without any real explanation besides "they'd eventually met each other". I'd rather have a good explanation if the characters end up meeting.

[Kalamadea]

I'm gonna point this out now so we don't get any confusion. Just because I say something directly relating to a PC in a post doesn't mean you have to heed that. For instance, Darkstar could decide to resist giving up his chip, and then I'd RP the result of that as though nothing changed. Keep that in mind.

[cunfuzzler]

You still accepting?

[Kalamadea]

We most certainly are.

Name: Spectre

Appearance:

Spectre

Spectre is small, not Bumblebee small, but not much taller at all.

Alignment: Chaotic Good.(Autobot)

Alt Mode: Spectre's alt mode is a small sleek cybertronian car with a turreted Ion blaster that looks quite out of place on her chassis.

Weaponry: Spectre has the aforementioned Ion Blaster which usually serves as her primary weapon, but in addition she also has two laser pistols that stay concealed on the inside of her 'skirts' when she transforms. As a last resort option she also has a small energon blade about the size of a combat knife.

Special Abilities: Spectre has a shield projector that while designed for a much larger bot than her, she can still utilize for short periods of time (~30 seconds) before it's capacitors need to recharge.
She can additionally expel the energy from the shield's capacitors as electric attack from her fingertips.

Personality: Spectre is loud, obnoxious, and hates Decepticons with the kind of passion you typically only see from Decepticons. She is very very sociable, and not afraid to make her views on matters known to everyone. She has the kind of gung-ho attitude that you either love or hate, and is either incredibly cocky or brave, possibly both, but she will definitely be on the frontlines whenever possible, relishing in the death and destruction of battle, if she wasn't an Autobot, she'd make a damn fine Decepticon.

History: When she was constructed, Spectre was supposed to be a stealthy assassin of a bot, much as her name, size, and general look imply. For awhile that was exactly what she was, she had a cloaking unit, the whole nine yards. She was pretty damn good at it too, but there was always a nagging feeling that it wasn't right, killing a bot without them even seeing her, it didn't sit right with her, however it wasn't her place to question it, and the chain of command needed her as she was. Then though the Ark left, and with it, a large part of the order and stability of the Autobot leadership, at least temporarily. Spectre dropped off the grid for a bit then, hoping she would be assumed dead, just another causality of the great war. During this time she had some work done underground, she got an Ion blaster, some extra capacitors, and traded her cloaking device for an experimental shielding unit. It cost her everything she had, and put her into the service of those that had given her the new gear for too long to remember, but it was worth it, and once the debt was finally paid she could back to kicking Decepticon butt on her terms.

[Kalamadea]

Approved. You want me to lay out a scenario for you to respond to?

[cunfuzzler]

If ya don't mind.

[Kalamadea]

All right. Give me a moment.

[Kalamadea]

Okay, Confuzzler. Your scenario's ready to go.

[Zero Hex]

Sorry I didn't post sooner, been a tad busy and then saw the whole Mayweather vs Maidana event.
