Character Bios [S2]

[NaitoKage]

You can have Cecaelia exit out with Glowstick if you want.

Now then.. as for Xychona.

Psychologist? That'll be handy in dealing with Arachnitron.. for any group that has Arachnitron.

Stats are fine since they're for a normal type. And a ghost bat, amazingly this game hasn't had overkill in bats.

Weapons.. Poison tipped throwing knives, very assassin like.

Laser battle rifle is fine

Sonic scream I'd almost say is a ability.. and.. how does it mess with computers, electronic devices, and gadgets?.. Sonic attacks are oscillating pressure waves in the air, so it should be able to cause damage to audios(the transformers method of hearing), other echo location (again,hearing, deafening),putting out fire, and sending out pressure blasts much like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzS7cCMx ... re=related

Other then all that.. Teleporting I see as a problem. That's a very high energy ability which I simply don't see a beast wars style character having, they're about energy efficiency. If it was allowed, it'd be very short ranged.

[starshadow]

Yay! So Xychona is a balanced character? :3

Lol about messing with the computer thingy and all, I got that idea from Transmutate and Nightscream. Transmutate's sonic cry messed up the Maxies by sort of shocking them. First appearance of Nightscream showed that his screeching messed up the drones' targetting system.

Changed teleporting ability to cloaking. Teleporting will be in season 3 when she goes TM2.

Heh. Banshee's probably the first sane predacon in this RP.

[NaitoKage]

Uh.. while alot of players picked up some ability to get around cloaking..That should be a more rare ability, so I'm not sure about that. I'll leave that to the others to decide.

[starshadow]

okay..warping ability then. Added thruster's info.

[Blackrosefencer]

Psychologist? That'll be handy in dealing with Arachnitron.. for any group that has Arachnitron.

The thought crossed my mind as well...

[Wildfire94]

Not sure if this would be a last minute thing for anyone but I decided I wanted to drop Vela. I've been poking around at different animals lately and wanted to add something for variety in the rpg. Though wanted to check with some of you before I did that.

[NaitoKage]

That's allowed. Some players have done that many times. Don't worry about it Wildfire.

[Wildfire94]

Took forever to think of a new character but here she is

Name: Silverstreak
Allegiance: Maximal
Function: Sabotage/Cyber-ninja-in-training
Alt. Mode: Wild Silver Fox
Height: 5 feet in length-beast mode(not to scale),5’6-robot mode
Quote: “Catch me if you can!”

Strength: 5
Intelligence: 8
Speed: 7
Endurance: 6
Rank: [Assigned by the staff]
Courage: 10
Firepower:5
Skill: 7

Biography: Silverstreak is a young femme created during the peaceful Pax Cybertronia and one of few cybertronians to be taught in the ways of a cyber-ninja. Though she never completed the entire time required to become a fully recognized warrior within the cyber-ninja arts, mainly due to the lack of interest at the time and her mentor becoming more involved with the growing tensions. This was a very frustrating time for Silverstreak as she hadn’t considered anything else then becoming a cyber-ninja warrior and had to turn her attentions to something else which eventually lead her to seek the field of sabotage.

During her time in working in the new field she never gave up her first goal of being a cyber-ninja warrior, but she decided to focus on the stealth technique and combine it with her sabotage. It was also during this point in her function Silverstreak heard of the exploration crew of the Axalon were about to take off to explore other worlds which, like many, peeked her interest and she decided to sign up to be one of the bots turned into a protoform again. Silverstreak now makes use of her skills in the Beast Wars in her new alternate of a Wild Silver Fox and aids the Maximals where needed.

Personality wise Silverstreak is an optimistic, kind-sparked young femme that doesn’t seem to be the kind to be under the weather. But like many young bots she aims to gain the approval of her superiors and to try to do what’s right, even though it may be wrong in another’s optics. Other then occasional reckless behavior she is quite calm and has a love for life, be it organic or cybertronian and won’t let anything get her down for long. Many of these qualities relate to her ancestor Jazz of the Autobots.

Weapons: Silverstreak’s melee weapon of choice are tonfa-like weapons that are stored on her back.
Distance weapons she has chosen are throwing knives stored in a compartment on the underside of her wrists, two laser rifles about half the length of her arm mounted at her sides, and a stun gun that pops up from her arm.

Abilities:
-Stealth mode that allows her to sneak up on enemies or avoid alert systems before she is detected right away, and she also makes use of this to infiltrate an area or base if required.
-Thermal Scanner that allows her to see the heat signatures of cybertronians and living organisms during night or day which is done with the use of a visor that is over her optics much of the time.

Weaknesses:
-Silverstreak has the common weakness for young bots in wanting to impress her superiors and can sometimes get in over her head when she thinks she is doing the right thing.
-Her choice of being mainly a long distance fighter leaves her open to being attacked from a distance or someone getting close enough and striking her.
-Her armor is not overly thick and has little support for much damage resistance so she has to mindful of the damage she can take otherwise she risks stasis lock easily.

Sample Post:
Silverstreak knelt within the forest clearing, listening carefully to the sounds around her, focusing her attention on each one. She could hear scuffling of small animals, flapping of wings from the birds within the tree tops, buzzing of insects, the prowling of larger creatures, and the pulsing of her own spark, all strangely calming when one was taking the time to listen. It almost could be an orchestra of nature, playing it’s music and wanting others to hear that were willing, even if not all were taking that chance. It was rather rare for much off time during the Beast Wars anyway to hear these sounds, or to just let yourself forget the stressful times of war and enjoy life as it was.

The silver fox femme could only sigh softly at knowing she would not be there for much longer, for at some point the Predacons would make a move and she would be needed. Silverstreak just didn’t understand why it always had to be this way. But not all the Predacons seemed so bad, some seemed quite peaceful as the Maximals but then again she agreed with when some say their faction never defined them. Yet some would disagree. Would it always be this way? Or just until they finally couldn’t go on at all? It was a question one heard all the time yet it didn’t have an answer, and the war was no closer to being over so they might as well keep going while they could.

Of course as she suspected Silverstreak was getting a com from the Axalon, it was her time to go on patrol yet she lingered on the spot for a few kliks longer before at last transforming down to her beast form and heading off through the foliage to start on her shift. I just wonder what today will bring, she thought but regardless of what it was she would be ready despite not exactly looking forward to it.

[NaitoKage]

I see no problems at all with this character Wildfire. Approved. Ranking wise on Silverstreak probably start off at 5 or 6 and see how she goes when she improves. I do find it funny however that Silverstreak is related to Jazz while being a cyber ninja.. considering only animated Jazz was a ninja.. and also in G1 there was Bluestreak.

[Wildfire94]

She has some of his personality qualities, such as the optimism and rarely being down, say something along the lines of upset for example and she has a similar function as G1 Jazz had for being a Saboteur, least from what I could find about him. For the cyber-ninja I just kind of took that bit from the Animated version but considering the Beasties are descendants of G1 based it was just a slight combination of both.

SAve for the fact that SIlverstreak is still a trainee.

[starshadow]

It's confirmed. I'll kill Cecaelia off somewhere in the first few episode in season 2 for some reason..bring up Banny's rank NK.

[NaitoKage]

Now then, I guess my vacation is done..

Name: Drillclaw
Allegiance: Maximal
Function: Demolition, Medical Engineer
Alt. Mode: Starnosed mole
Height: 9 ft
Quote: "When in doubt, get a bigger gun." "The land and sea are my playground.. and your grave."

Strength: 8
Intelligence: 8
Speed: 4
Endurance: 6
Rank: 1
Courage: 6
Firepower: 8
Skill: 8
Total:48


Biography: A Medical engineer with a interest in body modification. Drillclaw was originally part of the Maximal millitary, spending her days as a field medic, though after an accident on a rough mission, she used some mining equipment as a means of repairing herself during a rouge predacon attack in space. While many of the modifications she made were later removed, instead of attaching her old arm, she kept the strange drill one she created and kept upgrading it, along with the rest of her body.

Going through battlefields, she used her great intellect and equipment to dominate struggling battles, but with each battle, she seemed to become more cold. As if she had lost a piece of her spark seeing the horrors of war. Returning to Cybertron, she met up with Icebreaker, who had become rather disenchanted with cybertron after losing his sparkmate, Drillclaw's sister.

With nothing left other then him, she decided to follow him onto the Axalon mission, perhaps finding a new light at the end of these tunnels would provide her with whatever it seemed she was looking for.

Alas.. this was not the case, landing on Earth during the events of the great fall, when many stasis pods fell (The time when Nightmist,Orcariner,Glowstick,Icebreaker,Snowtrix,and Frilla's pods came down), Drillclaw's pod also landed on the planet. Wandering aimlessly, she discovered many strange things, from alien ruins, to wandering predacons hunting down maximals.After witnessing the events of a cannibalistic monster of a Predacon chewing on her kind, Drillclaw finally snapped, taking the creature's life and began hunting other predacons down, as if seeing the act as exterminating rabid vermin.

Personality wise, Drillclaw seems distant and fairly self confident, rathering to go into a battlefield alone then risk seeing any more Maximals harmed or lost. While able to socialize, she spends alot of time alone reading, drinking, tweaking her body modifications, and weapons.

Drillclaw seems to have developed a rather unnatural obsession with weapons, as her optics seem to shine brightly like a giddy child with a new toy when presented with a big gun, sometimes even giving low giggles and obscene laughter while shooting. This interest also means she will sometimes bring specialty weapons with her,much like Dinobot does.


Weapons:

Drill missiles: Originally invented as a tool for mining on cybertron, Drillclaw has modified them for use in combat. Operating on a wire guided system giving them a range of around 2 miles, she carries alot of these, with different payloads. The missiles incorporate a drillhead which also acts like a screw underwater, and carries a limited propellent. Carries two launchers, one in each leg. Only two drill missiles can be used at a time.
Missile types:
High explosive: The basic missile, having a variety of uses on it's own.
Smoke missile: Rather then destroy everything, the missile discharges a cloud of white phosphorous and aluminum chaft, blinding sections of the battlefield in Radar and infrared detection.
Cluster: Breaking the surface, the missile explodes releasing a hail of shrapnel like a grenade.

Drill arm: Used to replace her right arm, the Drillclaw is where her name comes from. The limb is a massive four digit clawed hand that transforms into a fairly large drill.


Equipment:
Electrosensory(Electro location): Used for navigation, Drillclaw can discharge low electro magnetic pulses which come back projecting a visual image similar to the function of radar or sonar. Used as a means of navigation while underwater or underground. Passively her electrosensory also allows her to see electrical impulses in lifeforms, cybertronian or otherwise.

Facemask:a Filter mask to seal Drillclaw's face to keep out water, dirt, and dust.



Tunnel light: Mounted to Drillclaw's head are a set of lights for illumination.

Advanced Medical kit:A fairly large and well equipped medical kit, allowing the user to repair the most grievous of fatal injuries on the battlefield, performing makeshift repairs, and give temporary life support.



Skills:
Medical skills:Highly trained in Cybertronian anatomy,to the point that she easily grafts and modifies parts of her body with one hand.

Tunneling:Drillclaw is rather good at tunneling, using them as her main means of transportation in beast mode as well as robot mode. Traveling the planet, she's learned much about the variety of terrain and how to navigate through them effectively, from sand, mud, ice,soft and hard soils.


Weaknesses:
Drillclaw's loner personality makes her less likely to work with others, and with the horrors of war seems to be extremely mentally unbalanced at times.
Only two drill missiles can be controlled at a time before the next set is deployed. Drillclaw's blindness in beast mode makes it difficult for her to tell enemies and allies apart at times with her electro sensory.


And to note, as the back story states, there will not be a stasis pod recovery mission for this character, and she can and will appear in season 1, I've also set the rank as 1 because while powerful, Drillclaw is new to the group and not suited for command roles. Time to get things moving!~

Edit: Removed Electro laser and fixed stats to reflect it's loss.

[xCubicZirconia]

Name: Aphrodite
Allegiance: Maximal
Function: Marine Patrol
Alt. Mode: Transmetal Sea Horse
Height: 5'7 Robot Mode, 4'0 Beast Mode.
Quote: “Come to me…” “Depth Charge is all I have left, thanks to your mistake!” – Said to Primal

Strength: 6
Intelligence: 7
Speed: 7
Endurance: 7
Rank: [Assigned by the staff]
Courage: 9
Firepower: 6
Skill: 7

Biography: In the water, you see what seems to be a legendary creature. Not quite a mermaid but definitely not human. It is a Cybertronian with more of an android look. One of the beast warriors, this femme was one of the few in the marine patrol. Long, waist length hair of a pale pastel pinks and blues match her armor that is the colors of the oceans wonders. On the ankles of her armor are fins, only out when in the water and giving off the effect that she is an actual mermaid, when walking on land she is able to control her elegant and long ankle fins to wrap around her lower legs and her feet. Her hips are decorated in more elegant fins that create a bit of a skirt effect; her beast mode is a leafy sea dragon. Leafy sea dragons are a species of sea horses that are covered in tons of leaf-like fins that serve as camouflage in order to hide from predators. In robot mode, the head of the sea horse splits in two, each side going on her hips.
On her shoulders and knees are even more of the, yet again, elegant leaf-like fins and parts of the sea horse body. Unlike most of the transformers, she tends to show off more cleavage and ‘skin’ that armor.
Her weapons consist of a beautiful bow with energon arrows and bladed fins on her arms. On her head is a crown of crystalized fins that are decorated with seashells, each seashell symbolizes her family members she lost to X. Her voice can lure anyone weak minded to her with promises of love pleasure only to show her rage once they are distracted by delivery a fatal blow.
Her spark mate is Depth Charge, the only person she has left from Omicron and Rugby. By his side, she tracks down and fights X since he was the one to kill her family and friends. Depth Charge pays her more attention than the others and feels like he can talk to her about anything and everything but he tries not to let it distract him even though he is protective of her since she is the only thing he has left of Omicron.
In her free time, Aphrodite collects seashells and many other treasures she finds in the ocean.

Weapons: Bow and energon arrows, fin blades on her arms and legs.

Abilities: Depending on how weak the enemy is, she can lure them to her/distract them by singing (what Primal ends up calling) a siren's song.

Weaknesses: She has anger issues when the enemy mentions any of her loved ones, especially the ones who are no longer living.
-She tends to try and protect her team mates as much as possible which usually ends up getting her greatly distracted.

Sample Post: Aphrodite pokes her head up out of the water behind some rocks, watching as Quickstrike and Waspinator make their way through the area on the shore. Softly at first, she sings a song that gradually gets louder. A smile graces her lips when she manages to catch one of them with her voice.
Aphrodite crawled up on onto one of the many rocks and reaches her hand to him, waiting for him to grab it so she could pull him to her and attack his spark directly.
Without warning, Waspinator tackled the fuzor before he could take the femme’s hand. Furious, Aphrodite growls then grabs her bow and aims an energon arrow at Waspinator. Once she hits him and sees that she had managed some damage, she dives back under the water to continue her never ending search for X.

[NaitoKage]

Alrighty..

Stats are fine, but your at 44 points. Transmetals are allowed 50 points if you want.

Profile: "Tries to look more human then robot"? Not sure what that entails since transformers are rather humaniod considering as a species of living machines. Ah.. I see.. big eyes.. 0_o.. Er okay. Also, if you have a Camo effect, state that in the profile under abilities.

Weapons are fine.

No transmetal feature listed, I'm assuming something to make the character move in the air or on land?

Ability of singing.. it's probably more distracting and honestly, I'd put that more as a skill then an ability.

5 is average speed, so.. not bad for swimming to be honest.

There's no problem with romance in the game, Optimus Primal and Whitegrazer have a thing going on, plus Tigatron and Airazor, and Ironclaw seems to have a thing for Saberfang. However, the most important part is how the player of Depthcharge feels about going into a romantic situation with a OC. That and.. Depthcharge is around 16 feet tall.. Aphrodite being 5'7 feet might be a bit short to child like compared to the massive Manta. That's not a problem, just a observation.

Also.. Yay for Leafy Sea dragon(The Seahorse species.)

[Phoenix]

Eh.. NK's new character should probably get looked at asap since he already started posting with it in the rpg....

By singing do you mean like the mythological sirens of the sea who would lure sailors into a trance with her singing voice? If so maybe there's a way to work something similar in there, although it almost calls for a statistic to cover how well a character would be able to resist such an approach? Intelligence perhaps?
