Delta Cephei System
Amidst the wreckage of various ships and battle mechs, the Astafanel remains pristine. No damage befell it, thanks to its ability to slow down time itself and the skills of its pilot, Rastun. The floating hunks of space debris were once space pirates that terrorized this sector. Normally, they would have been left to the local law enforcement if not for the fact that they stumbled into technology that removes chunks of the timeline. Naturally, they were first given a chance to surrender the forbidden technology, but they refused as most do and now the pirates became nothing more than scrap. Rastun would have recovered the tech, but the pirates already activated it and he had no time to disarm the device, so he opted for its destruction instead. The Overseers would understand since they value the stability of the timeline above all else.
As if on cue, Rastun gets a comm message from Overseer HQ.
"Agent Rastun, have you completed your mission?"
"Yes, sir," Rastun responds. "The threat has been eliminated and the timeline didn't become any more unstable than it already is."
"Good work. Did you recover the device?"
"No sir, I was forced to destroy it," Rastun flatly responded. There would be no regrets over the loss of a potential hazard. He added, "The device was already armed and there was no time to deactivate it, I had little choice."
"Understandable. Now that we know of your status, it's time to give you a new mission. You are to investigate two individuals who have recently warped into this sector's timeline." A holographic star chart pops up in his cockpit, along with its set coordinates.
"That's a pre-Slam timeline! What makes these two so special that they'd warrant pursuit, sir?" Rastun asked.
"They are Cybertronians who do not appear to be affiliated with the ones we know of. Readings suggest their warp methods are similar to our own and they may have other technology comparable to ourselves. Whoever these two are, they must be watched carefully."
Rastun understands somewhat, but is still hesitant and replies, "With all due respect sir, contact with High Command would be near-impossible the moment I set foot in that timestream. Plus, aren't there more suitable agents than myself for this kind of mission?"
"Yes, but there are still windows of opportunity available for communication due to spacetime fluctuations. Out of everyone in our organization, you are the one who is most acutely aware of these changes in reality. You're the only one we can depend on at the moment for this assignment, especially since others are busy with their own tasks."
He sighs at this news. Rastun never was one for recon and surveillance, especially in a timeline predating the Slam, but High Command apparently has far too much faith in him. Either that, or they're very overzealous about others having comparable technology to themselves. "Understood, sir," he merely says. The comm links then closed on both sides and a rift in spacetime appeared in front of the Astafanel, opening itself up to fit the machine within its maw. Rastun plunges inside and after he does so, the rift closes. Hopefully whatever waited for him on the other side wouldn't be too chaotic.

Mount Fuji is forever smashed
The Moon, some time after The Slam
Unicron, the Chaos Bringer, sending down lightning like a wrathful god punishing impudence. A brightness searing the optics follows, then darkness takes hold. The body shatters like glass, then becomes dust. Those were the last events Starscream remembers before waking up on Earth's moon. He shouldn't be even standing here. How and why was he revived? What is the reason he was brought here? Even then, there is one more question. Who is the shadowed crowned figure that appears in his mind? The flashes of him come randomly and each time they happen, he feels a sharp pain that stabs at his neural circuits. The silhouetted Cybertronian, whose frame appears similar to his own, spouts how weakness should be purged. Other images show him in agony, howling as if seeking to exorcise some illness out of himself. What possible connection could these fragmented events have to himself?
There's no use pondering these questions here. Starscream transforms into his jet mode and zooms toward Earth. Perhaps there he can find some clues. As he speeds towards his destination, he wonders how much the planet has changed during his absence. A small part of himself worries about potential dangers, but he immediately pushes any hesitation aside. Where else could he go anyway?

And now, my canon character
Mech
Name: Starscream
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Type: Super
Dimensions: Six meters tall, 4.6 meters in length when in jet mode
Weight: 11 tons
Bio: Once a Decepticon soldier conflicted about his allegiances, Starscream now remembers nothing after his old life. His last memory is sacrificing himself to unite Optimus and Megatron against Unicron. Starscream became nothing more than scrap after being struck down by Unicron, or so he remembers. He doesn't know how he's still alive and how he wound up on a moon orbiting Earth. However, he gets visions of a silhouetted crowned figure, with a frame somewhat resembling his own. "I must purge this weakness," the figure says. There are other jumbled flashes of him fiercely struggling with what seems to be an illness within himself, and appears to be attempting to exorcise it out. More mysterious is the strange power that manifests from Starscream during intense moments. He glows gold for a short time whenever he uses this power and his abilities are greatly enhanced temporarily. Just what could this all mean?
Stats
Strength: 20
Armor: 20
Firepower: 30
Performance: 70
Mobility: 60
Energy Output: 50
Sensors: 50
Description: A Cybertronian Decepticon who can transform into a high-speed jet. One of his wings can be used as a sword in robot form. He also has a Minicon with him to enhance his combat capability and unlocks his twin null ray cannons.
Weapons
Twin Rapid Fire Energy Guns: Located on the sides of Starscream's nose in jet mode, they fire generic rapid fire energy bullets.
Twin Null Ray Cannons: Starscream uses his Minicon to activate this weapon and fires twin red beams of energy.
Wing Sword: Starscream converts one of his wings into a sword and imbues it with red-colored energy to enhance its cutting power.
Abilities
Aside from his ability to transform and his use of a Minicon, Starscream can surround himself with an unusual golden aura that enhances his abilities for a short time.

He's already heading out of the town as of right now though
So, is anyone going outside of this town or whatever? I want to make up an excuse for my character to at least bump into another one
I'll bring this game back to life somehow
OC first, will think of canon character later. I can limit some of these abilities more if necessary.
Pilot
Name: Rohnosc Rastun
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height: 5'9
Weight: 170 lbs
Rank/Title: Overseer Agent
Special: Rohnosc can detect fluctuations and changes in timelines.
Bio: The Great Slam, a cataclysmic event that merged countless worlds into one, incoherent mess. Time and space became chaotic, twisted beyond recognition. After this event, a faction called the Chronal Overseers formed. Stationed on various worlds, the Overseers would send an agent to a particular universe and/or timeline to alleviate whatever problem it's causing to the already damaged spacetime continuum. They act as a neutral party, only interested in establishing order to a chaotic cosmos. Rohnosc, who was eight at the time and would later be one of their finest agents, was found in the slums by a wandering scouting patrol. Picking up massive temporal energies surrounding the boy, they took him into the base. For years they've trained him and while they were at first disappointed at his lack of more overt powers over time, the Overseers appreciated his piloting abilities and his acute sensory abilities concerning spacetime structure. At present, he pilots the Astafanel, one of the Overseers' advanced mechs. Acting as one of their agents, he now hunts for unruly anomalies gnawing at the fabric of the universe, but his mission might become more than he bargained for...
Mech
Name: Astafanel
Type: Super
Dimensions: 30 meters in height
Weight: 2500 tons
Stats
Strength: 35
Armor: 30
Firepower: 30
Performance: 55
Mobility: 50
Energy Output: 60
Sensors: 40
Description: The Astafanel is one of the Overseers' top-of-the-line Chronoframes, which focuses on speed and maneuverability. Its already high speed is supplemented by its ability to slow down time, making the Astafanel nigh-untouchable. It can also reverse time on itself, reverting the Chronoframe to a period in time before it was damaged. The Astafanel's power source is a Temporal Energy Reactor, which channels energy from alternate dimensions. In the hands of any skilled pilot, the Astafanel would be a formidable machine but in the hands of one with great amounts of temporal energy like Rohnosc, its potential is almost limitless.
Also, like any Chronoframe, it can warp into another star system and/or timeline.
Weapons
Optic Beam Cannons: The Astafanel fires concentrated blue-green beams from its eyes to pierce through enemies.
Wrist-mounted Beam Cannons: Similar to the optic beam cannons above, but is explosive instead of piercing.
Entropy Blades: Channeling power from the Astafanel's reactor, these blades have the ability to age anything they touch, making the act of cutting through enemies easier. The effect of this varies, depending on the material.
Existence Reversal Cannon: The Astafanel's chest opens up, revealing a large cannon. This weapon channels the most power from the reactor and fires energy that reverses the time of those it hits to a point where it didn't exist. However, the Astafanel has to charge it for ten seconds before firing it and remains stationary while doing so. In addition, the time abilities listed below can't be used during the process of charging this weapon. It can only be used once per day.
Abilities
Time Slow: Slows down time for the Astafanel, reducing the speed of everything around it by half. This effect lasts for ten seconds and there is a minute-long delay before it can be used again.
Time Reversal: Reverses time solely for the Astafanel and reverts itself to a point before any damage was taken. This can be used only twice per day.
FTL and Time Travel: The Astafanel can warp into another system and/or another timeline via its Spacetime Warp Engine. It needs the proper set of coordinates for a successful jump.

I'm still trying to think up of a post
The concept is simple, you post someone getting devastated by someone else, physically or psychologically
I'll start off with this:
