(( Its pretty helpful but i don't understand about the stats over 45 + the sample post and we could add in the faction, motto and the gender incase the OC's name confuses us . For example, my OC is a femme but some of us thought it was a male ))

(This is a good idea and I agree with Starshadow we sould add the gender so no one is confused.)

BIO: When Wintersong was younger she was fromt he 'wrong side of the tracks', also known as the rundown part of Cybertron. Leaving the worst parts of the planet she came to the higher cities but had a rough time fitting in feeling like a mere outsider.At first, thing were harder then she realized until she saw a chance to be a trainee for the maximals in which she gladly joined only at 12 years of age in human years.But three years went by and when she became 15 she though it funny to be a stowaway on the Axalon; though it took effort to be able to have snuck on.In the suppose-to-be-fun she was about to look around when the ship have given a jerk which had been a mitake, it had caused her to fall into an empty stasis pod and become a protoform launched into orbit.When a shrot time after the crashes of the vessels her pod fell from orbit and crashed but was intact enough for her to be scanned a white tiger.

Before all of the change she had always had a strong fighting spirit and alot of courage. But after joining the Maximals,she is often found roaming around the jungle and keeping silent more then anything. When if did and does come to battle the side she refered as the "untame wild cat" seems to show.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: Her weapons consist of two double-barrel blasters.One is as long as from her hand to her elbo located in the back of her left leg while the other is slightly smaller but with a better structure for close ranged enemies or targets and is located in her side.Another weapon is hidden in her wrsits which would be missle launchers, but only if really needed will Wintersong use them.When it comes to close combat, not only are her fists and kicks used but her always-sharpened-to-the-point claws are her deadliest when an enemy comes too near.They are hidden in the tips of her fingers.
Her best ability is tracking and a keen sense of smell.Her eyes can allow her sight in the dark or night in both robot and beast modes, but her camofladgue is only good in Arctic areas.

WEAKNESSES:There are a few flaws in this silent, deadly kitty.She is sometimes over-confident and can get into messes that are out of her league.Her white and black coloring in either form is only good for snow covered areas, such as the Arctic and proves to make her an easy target from a distance.When in robot mode her tail remains along with the ears: meaning they are some of her weakest spots and when hit right cause her to beocme in deep pain, possible immobilization.

SAMPLE POST: Keeping silent, her paw steps light as she treked through the vegetated land Wintersong made her way through the trees. She blinked amber eyes; the silence making her somewhat nervous and alert.The she-tiger femme had had orders to check on the jungle area but had refued any help for to her the jungle WAS her place and her place alone to roam. Though she knew Primal would beg to differ so she never spoke of it nor said it outloud to her new teammates.Pausing, there had been a rustling above making Wintersong snap her head upwards and bristle if there was an enemy, but it only turned out to be a organic bird startled. Relaxing, only slightly, she continued on her patrol at he rown ace knowing she would make the team a little irritated with a late report. But then again, who said she had to be a team player? That just wasn't her style.

Alliegence is the same thing as Faction, Motto is subsituted for Quote, and I'm sure you'll be using 'he' or 'she' somewhere in the bio/weapons/weaknesses/sample post, but go ahead and add gender.

Wintersong, perfect case of aplication. I'll get back to you on rank in a bit.

[Stats excluding rank must not total over 45!]

BIO : Starshadow went through a massive military training for assasinating, spying, combat and technology under her grandmother or master after she was rejected by everyone on Cybertron and became one of the most notorious assassins ever known on Cybertron.
Few days later after her family died because of a tragic accident during all the important missions except her younger sister, all of Cybertron's Police forces was sent to capture the sisters to get them excuted for a murduring case of a Judge but the sisters escaped in an ancient ship they have in their Headquarters called the Lunatia Battleship.(One of the motherships that was used in the Great War.)

During the battle in space between the police force and the sisters, Starshadow piloted a minion ship herself to lure all of the enemy ships away to save her beloved sister as the ship was seriously damaged. Her ship was shot by one of the enemy ships and she activated the self detonation of the ship and escaped the ship by a large black stasis pod with a mark while her sister escapes. Before Starshadow crashed landed, wings and a tail broke out from her body and she managed to scanned a black panther and she came out looking like a cat from hell.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES :

PHYSICAL:
Bladed Spiked Tail Whip
When her emotions are normal, it stays the same. But when she's angry, her fur from the whip will form into sharp, deadly, dispersable spikes. Even more dangerous when she's in beast mode.

Wings
The wings could rain down lasers from the skies. The bones of the wing can be exteded to stab the victim and slightly lessen the pain and the damage taken in. It could be used as a shield/protection.

Mouth
Her mouth could disperse a piercing banshee scream which causes the enemy to be stunned or "hear 'til it hurts" and also charge out a blast of plasma beam.

Dual Claws
2 blades that comes out from both hands when in battle. Sharp and gives painful slashes and stabs to the enemy.

Single wielding energy rifle
A gun.

Abilities
Like a succubus, she can attract males not to terminate her if she was about to lose a battle.
Sometimes, if someone pisses her off, she will make a hell of a party in battle. She has the senses of cats such as night vision and farsight. Fighting in battle, her skills never delay her fighting moves once she made one.

WEAKNESS : She made wrong descisions which leads to her failure like charging in and attack at full power and never realize that she was tricked. Her emotions can weaken herself of self control of feelings.

Sample post : Her mind was pretty messed up, confused. "Why do I keep treating Cheetor as my little brother? He's not my sister! He's an enemy! C'mon Lady, focus...sort out things in your mind...", thought Starshadow as she keep smacking her head. She was in her quarters polishing her black armor and her tail. Thinking about war, she opened her weapon stash full of her past weapons. Guns, crossbows, daggers, covered in dust. Then, she closed it,
"No time for this."
"OH SWEET PRIMUS!!! I ALMOST FORGOT TO MAKE AN EXCUSE FOR PRUNE FACE WHY WE FAILED IN THE BATTLE!!!", thought Starshadow.

BIO: As a firstly programmed proto form Snow Trix was originally just Trix and was raised among the Maximals and PRedacons during the Pax Cybertronia.But soon she was in a group of rebellious youngesters who would do grafitti,cause multitudes of damage, and even terrorize smaller towns just for fun.Often Snow Trix was sent in and out of the CYbertronian jail only for a few months and let out,but her record is long and she had no history of goodness.The parents she knew were but a distant memory for they had been sent on missons and only left her to fend for herself.Soon at 17 she was sentenced as an outcast to the flithiest and most rundown parts of CYbertron anyone could imagine.But the rumors of the escpaed rouge Megatron had captured her attention to where she got a serious offence and ut into stais not however the way she planned.Once her od had crashed and scanned a fox she rename dherself with Snow Trix and vowed revenge on the Maximals.Starting with Optimus PRimal and his crew.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: Snwo trix's weapons consist of Wrist lasers and Laser Rifle.The wrist lasers are located just inside the wrists for when her laser Rifle is not in reach,her lasso is not helpful , or for a sneak attack.Next just located inside the right leg is a Laser rifle Snow rix tends to use most of the time in combat,she aims and fires or does a random shot to make a quick runaway, as if she really needed to in this. Always coiled up on her right or left side is an energon lasso to which is used to trap an enemy or bring them closer for her teammates to attack.
However,her most dangerous weapon and her specialty is her trickery,the tendacy to sweet talk male mechs into doing her bidding or getting information.

WEAKNESSES: Her form also has it's weakness.One is that her armor has become much thinner and more prone to have a higher chance of severe damage to her systems.Another is often she likes to get out of doing her part of the job and will have the tendency for someone else to do it for her or just sneak off to laze about out of bordom.

SAMPLE POST: Drolets of water,in the palce of sweat, came off SNow Trix's armor as she moved supplies from the Dark Side near the lava pits.Predacon, or not she hated,absoulutely hated the volcanic environment and she sometimes wished the scanner had picked something different but then again that would hav ebeat the whole purpose of her personality, being sly and clever to trick those unsuspecting mechs.IT did not matter of they were Maixml nor PRedacon fif she wanted to know something or needed something she would trick that mech to get ehr way.Flicking her fluffy tail she smirked at the idea,Megatron would be off the list seeming as he did not look easy to persuad.Maybe Waspinator,possibly Terrorsaur?Any of the emchs in the ship seemed easy enough to perdude.Now just to trick them into doing the work for her.

45 is a tough bill to fit.

BIO: Steelclaw was once known as Arctosteel on Cybertron. He was a special agent for Maximal government forces, but was slowly turned to the Predacon side on his own account. This was likely due to his exposure to both publicly known and privately concealed events, which, at least in his perspective, labeled Maximal forces as *wrongfully preemptive fighters, and in general, on the wrong side of things. This developed into a sympathy for the Predacons, who Arctosteel believed were treated badly by Maximals- and not by their own doing, but because of their Decepticon ancestry. This belief is typical of a sort of philosophical thinking that he at least tries to maintain between his studying and practicing of munitions. Indeed, weapons were his primary area of training, and therefore, he brings expertise to armed fighting within Megatron's crew. More details of his betrayal of the Maximals and general past are found in other accounts, but would take too long to detail here.

*Arctosteel and Steelclaw are both characters designed for fictional purposes. Any opinions or views expressed in their bio are solely their own thoughts, and do not necessarily represent the opinions or views of their creator or of members of Beast Wars International©

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:
Pump action Gauss Rifle
Laser-armed mini gun (not normally carried with him for obvious reasons, but is brought on some missions)
Tironium-round Sniper rifle
Small PPC docked above left wrist (collapsible)

WEAKNESSES: Being a former Maximal, and having a change of heart to the Predacon side, he remains wary of becoming too close minded, and thus, falling into the same stubborn mind set he sees the Maximals as possessing of. This, while noble in its own sort of way not only can cause confrontational problems with Megatron (because he will not show the proper amount of enthusiasm, or obey orders fast enough), but also makes him somewhat inconsistent in battle. To be a bit clearer, he will rarely disobey Megatron (though, it does happen at times) but without the "3 Gigs of attitude" possessed by most Predacons (never being technically reprogrammed, he still carries many of the more docile Maximal traits), he makes himself vulnerable to his leader's fanaticism, and to more ambitious, conniving members of his team. His apathetic manner can also clash visibly with the plans he is part of, creating more of a downside in team morale than specifically his own.

Mentally-based Predacon inconsistencies aside, he is neither invincible to enemy fire, nor an unarmed physical power house like Megatron, Rhinox, Primal, or Dinobot.

SAMPLE POST: Is it o.k. if I use one of the posts I had made in the RPG already?

"Lieutenant. A strange word to be certain. They used to spell it leftinant.

Either way it symbolized more power. For the few who had found the grand fortune, or perhaps misfortune, to taste better, it simply meant less power.

In the end though, it was just another name. Perhaps Megatron meant true reward in it. Perhaps not. Either way, Steelclaw knew he would fall out of favor with his leader at some point for being imperfect, and then the name would be revoked or take on the new definition of "primary stress-release target."

...So long as he wasn't as high on the ladder as Scorponok.

Steelclaw had not come on the mission- the theft of the golden disk, the acquisition of energon, the conquest of Cybertron, for the glory of promotion. There were positions which he had never touched, but in his history, he had seen enough of ranks and their proud veneer to understand that, were he truly desirous of power, nothing would satisfy him until, perhaps, he reached the top. And struggling to reach the top was an inefficient and rather perilous use of time.

No, he had two priorities: one, to bring justice upon the corruption of the Maximals, and two, to stay alive doing it. Of course, verbally denying Megatron's trinket of a promotion would likely place his second priority in extreme jeopardy, and therefore, he took it in stride. And at any rate, there were more important things to worry about now.

"Immediately, boss." Steelclaw replied with as little emotion as he could muster. He transformed into a large black bear and headed for the door."

NAME: Skyfire
ALLEGIANCE: Maximal
FUNCTION: Scout/Aerial/Fighter (Not until later)
ALTERNATE MODE: Bald Eagle
HEIGHT: 6 feet
QUOTE: "Don't worry. I can still fight"

STRENGTH: 6
INTELLIGENCE: 8
SPEED: 7
ENDURANCE: 5
RANK: Assigned by the staff.
COURAGE: 7
FIREPOWER: 5
SKILL: 7


BIO: Before the Beast Wars, Skyfire was a student at a Cybertronian university. She was always curious about worlds outside of Cybertron, which was why she joined the Axalon mission. She was prepared for an exploration mission, but not for a war. She doesn't know much about the ways of combat, but she is willing to learn whatever skills are nessisary to make sure everyone gets through the war alive.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: Gun, Sword (Learns how to use one from Dinobot). Her optics also have a night vision upgrade.

WEAKNESSES: Sometimes her emotions can get the better of her, Lack of battle experience (In the beginning)

SAMPLE POST:
Skyfire flew the vast plain terrance performing her usual duties a scout, but so far she had seen nothing of interest and starting to get a little bored, but she knew it would be a while before she can return to base and give report, so maybe she would explore this area form something to do, but all she saw was plains for miles around. She sighed, all she got from this area, is that they would be no where to hide or take cover behind if a fight broke out, but at the moment there weren't any Predacons in the area.

Skyfire sighed again, and wondered why she always got the broing assigments. I am really useless? She thought to herself. She didn't want to be useless, she wanted ot be able to help her fellow Maximals in battle. Then an idea hit her. Dinobot knew the ways of a warrior, maybe he could help train her to be a better fighter. But would he be willing to d o so, and could she even work up the courage, because she had to admit that bot was kind of imtimidating. No, I can't let him imtimdate me she thought. When I get back to base I'll ask him to train me...Hmmm, maybe after I make Rattrap didn't beat my highscore at Doom, then after that I'll ask him...No maybe tomorrow. No do that as soon as you get back, don't make excuses.

[Xzuk]

NAME: Xzuk
ALLEGIANCE: Maximal
FUNCTION: Maximal scout/warrior
ALTERNATE MODE: A black and gold Fox
HEIGHT:(beast mode---3 ft) Robot mode---6 ft
QUOTE: "Any major tactical advantage starts by knowing your surroundings..."

STRENGTH: 3
INTELLIGENCE: 7
SPEED: 8
ENDURANCE: 6
RANK: Assigned by the staff.
COURAGE: 7
FIREPOWER: 7
SKILL: 7
[Stats excluding rank must not total over 45!]

BIO: One of the many scouts of the Maximal clan, Xzuk is one of the few who is a capable warrior as well. Highly regarded as a marksman and highly criticized for his low level of melee, he will more than make up the for slack in combat. What many of the maximal generals do not know, is that Xzuk does have one melee offense. When in robot form, the fox tail can be used as a Plasma Saber.

Now that his stasis pod is on a collision course for Earth, its time for Xzuk to show the next generation of Maximals just how capable he is.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: Two wrist mounted lasers, one "Gut-Gun", small seismic charges to set traps, and a plasma saber. The one special ability Xzuk has are what he calls jump jets, which enable for enhanced jumps of up to 35 feet giving him the ability to escape from most Predacons.

WEAKNESSES: Close combat. Xzuk's strength rating is terrible

SAMPLE POST: After the "landing", Xzuk has little memory of life before the stasis lock, but the first thing he came to notice was the sleekness and shine of his robotic form was gone... Something had happened while he was in that stasis pod. On the side of the pod was a green emblem which looked rather familiar, but he just couldn't seem to remember where he'd seen it before... after studying his surroundings, he caught sight of a pecuilair looking little creature...it was red with a white tip at the end of what appeared to be a tail... suddenly something strange happened to his vision... a series of grids and graphs appeared right before his eyes and before he knew it, he was very similiar looking to that creature...but he was black and gold... what was this...?
"I can help you figure this out"

Xzuk jumped so high at being startled by the voice he almost hit the branches of the tree above him. He turned to face the voice... He was white with black stripes... and there, on his shoulder was that same green emblem...
"Sorry to startle you my friend! But, It's been far too long!" Friend?? I know this creature?
"Your name is Xzuk. I am Tigatron. We were registered in the same scouting unit before the stasis pods we're ejected. We are very short on time my friend, we must move, and quickly. No doubt the Predacons have locked on to your stasis signature..."
Predacon!!! It hit him like a bolt of energon. Megatron, the fight in space.. and then the evacuation of the crew...
" My name is Xzuk. I am a scout for the Maximals... Let us get back to base... MAXIMIZE!!!"

[starshadow]

NAME: Visia
GENDER: Female
ALLEGIANCE: Predacon/Maximal
FUNCTION: Mass killing soldier
ALTERNATE MODE: same as Starshadow
HEIGHT: 7'0 in robot mode, 6'1 in beast mode
QUOTE: "Feel the wrath of my power."

STRENGTH: ?
INTELLIGENCE: 8
SPEED: ?
ENDURANCE: 9

FIREPOWER: ?
SKILL: ?
[Stats including rank must not be over 45!]

BIO: Visia was part of her master's spark. During the great war, her master lost something special which can't be replaced and became angry and released Visia out to battle a small army of 30,000. Such great power wiped out the whole army even all of her comrades died during the attack.
Generations passed, her masters passed her down to their descendents.

Centuries later, one of her most respected master, Zira, died in an accident. Before she died, Visia chosen Starshadow to be her new master and fused with her spark in order to survive. In return, she will let Starshadow use her in battle and gave her a new form unless she starve herself without mech fluid.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: All of her weapons are the same as Starshadow's execpt there are afew more.

Energy Drain whip
Drains energy from the victim and becomes the owner's energy. It can drain the energy until the victim dies.

Hands
Like Tigerhawk, it can charge a large amount of energy and blast the enemy into bits of metal.

Abilities
She can mind control male 'bots if they look directly at her optics. She also have the abilities of a succubus in human myths. She can hide herself by turning herself invisible. Her voice can put fear into her enemies mind as it sounds like multiple voices spoken at one time, only more effective in the night and isolated places where there are many dead ends.

WEAKNESS: If someone reminds her of her good memories, probably she might turn back to her normal self or she cools down her anger. Traqullizers can stop her from killing everyone she sees.

SAMPLE POST: The young bot shivered in fear as he heard voices in the forest. Strange languages were spoken which he can't understand. Too scared to speak, he ran as fast as he could but he felt it's presence all around him. Suddenly, two evil looking red optics appeared in on the bush. He ran sideways avoiding the bushes, thickets. The voices followed him into a dead end of the forest. Evil laughter was heard. Then, a large dark figure appeared infront of him with the same optics he saw. "You can run but you can't hide....", It spoke to him. The young 'bot screamed in fear.

[Tor]

Hey people!

We're trying to get the ranks and such figured out at the moment, hopefully we'll get that going. But I wanted to point out some things.

Wintersong - you do realize that Wintersong's stats total to 42.5 right?

Starshadow - I'm really sorry, but Starshadow is too powerful. Narrow down the weapons she carries to three please, just to be fair. Plus, I don't think that we're going to be mixing magic with transformers, so I'm gonna say, no healing abilities or phasing. Also the stats have to total 45. I'm quite sure you went WAY over the limit. And give her a better weakness. Perhaps a trick knee? Minor vision problems? Something.
I'm gonna say no to Visia, since Starshadow is already too powerful.

Blazemane - Ah, I like your character. I have zero complaints.

Xzuk - Methinks your character will be an interesting addition, but I fear you'll have a long wait to play Xzuk. You can change Xzuk to a non-transmetal and get him into play faster.

DT

[Wintersong]

I changed the status alittle.If this helps then cool if I need to change anything more for the status just let me know.

[Xzuk]

I can lose the transmetal bit for now, But the Avitar I have is gonna have to be ignored until that part of the show haha.

Playin is a bit more important than being transmetal.

[starshadow]

oops! sorry Tor. 45 is quite tough to fit in and I'll try to get stable with the weaponry. And sorry about the magic thingy. I'll try to work on Starshadow and get rid of Visia.
If im right, can the 3 weapons have mode changing?

Visia : NOOOOO!!!
Me : -shoots rocket launcher at Visia- YESSS!!!
Visia : -Explodes to smithereins

[Edits : erm can each battle sometimes switch weapons? as i have a large collection of them. But in battle, my OC brings 3 ONLY but what if it is part of the body?]

[Xzuk]

I can only hope you're on our side.
