BIO:the Predacon's communication expert, when it comes to media he knows it better then most others. Initially Glowstick was probably one of the more lazy of the Predacons, usually using his brains and mouth to talk his way out of a situation if his laser cannon can't get him out of it which.. he still does. After landing on the planet however he ended up having to develop into a more ambitious person, realizing the full lengths of his potential which he could never know he even had while on Cybertron. A well skilled technician of computers, he spends his days listening to radio signals on the side of his various projects and inventive tinkering, but still favors listening to music when possible, especially in a fight situation where he will broadcast a theme of battle on his speakers or even the enemies radios either to motivate himself or distract his foes.

In the past Glowstick has had many more normal roles, working in a shipyard deconstructing shuttles to attempting medical engineering work giving him a variety of skills that in the long run never worked out either from his strange ethics or his second class citizen life of being a Predacon. These skills now come in handy to him, as he often performs field medic work to keep those under his command functioning, his shipyard skills having provided a means of building the Leviathan transport.

His interaction with other Predacons varies, as he can be moody and his appearance is rather startling being pale and transparent in some areas while glowing a ghostly blue in solid or random sequences, but he generally seems liked and those under his command rarely have issues with his orders.. rather unusual for predacons. Glowstick's Hobbes obviously include techno and rave music(though enjoys other genres), with a strange attraction to glowing objects possibly due to his squid programming (cephalopods are attracted to shiny things, which can lead to divers getting attacked.), as well as inventing devices to deal with the tasks the faction requires.

In the field of Combat Glowstick is well skilled underwater, and on land appears to mix "dance" skills with his fighting, as well as being inspired by videogame fighting making a strange display. Night apparently improves this further as he "ghosts" around the battle field confusing enemy and ally alike in a creepy strobbing display.His preference at most however is shooting from far away whenever he can. Overall however his skills are more suited from his technical knowledge.



WEAPONS/ABILITIES:
Weapons:

Plasma Sword: Glowstick refers to it as the "Raver blade", a large crystalline sword which channels plasma through it so as to combine blunt and plasma damage (Burning/melting+circuit frying) based off the user's stats. When inactive it's simply a clear glass like blade, but powering it up makes it appear as the image displayed generating heat and interfering with electricity and radio signals. Even further, it has two active modes. "Closed" at the top, and "Open" at the bottom which has the handle and blade extend increasing reach. In Glowstick's "hands" the blade glows blue, but if it's in another's like say StarShadow or Dinobot it'd glow magenta or green. Due to the risks and power of the weapon in certain hands, it's put under a password to operate, "Light my darkest hour"

As Protoform technology focuses more on energy efficiency, Glowstick can't operate the blade for very long, it'll drain his systems to the point of stasis lock. Active the weapon also messes with radio frequencies, making Glowstick technically invisible to radar from ambient plasma, but at the cost of being unable to pick up radio signals, not something he doesn't like. Even worse, active the weapon slowly starts to cook the user's body from ambient heat.

Laser cannon (X2):Modified large photophores on his clubbed feeder tentacles/robot arms are equipped with a high powered laser which frequency can be altered with a focal iris allowing the laser to be fired underwater, in atmosphere, or even in a vacuum of space.However the range is reduced underwater compared to atmosphere, with the highest output possible being a Vacuum(In otherwords, space.) The focus skills of this weapon allow it to be used like a laser cutter or a pinpoint sniper weapon. Though has also been seen used as a communication laser and flashlight.


(Retired) Cyber Poison slime sword:A strange mid sized blade which oozes a coating of high viscous slime on contact through open points (joints, mouth,optics, injuries) infects the victim with a cyber neurotoxin temporally paralyzing the victim for a period of time in similar fashion to cephalopod venom (though without the whole.. heart stopping/stop breathing and intense pain..), the slime can build up in globs and be slung off.The slime has even been further refined to be used as a type of painkiller on the field for Glowstick's allies. Due to the simple design of the weapon, other canisters of different liquids could be used for specific missions.



Communications package:As a communications officer, he specializes in listening to radio channels and unscrambling encrypted signals and relaying them to others, even using short ranged jamming equipment clouding the radio channels with Raver music or static noise. However finding such encryption is not an automatic thing, they have to be dialed in through channels, altering antenna frequencies, and examined.

Ability:Glowstick is more or less equipped like a standard squid, able to swim great depths agilely and discharge clouds of ink as a escape defense. His body is fairly rubbery and his clubbed tentacle arms can project in robot or beast mode. This rubbery body makes it easy for him to sneak into areas more difficult for more "Solid" bodies.Unlike Standard squids however, the Firefly squid is unable to change color as their bodies are instead covered in blue photophore cells which glow by expanding or constricting. This gives a disorienting effect to Glowstick.

Internalized Graviton generator combine with the squid siphon duct fan allows Glowstick limited flight in robot mode.

Medical kit: mounted to his back, the Med kit provides a variety of tools and spare parts for repairing transformers or other electronics.

WEAKNESSES:As a firefly squid, Glowstick doesn't have the amazing camouflage system that many celphalopods take for advantage making his hiding skills not as good as theirs. His squid mode isn't that useful on land but with recent modifications can now navigate areas out of water by pressurizing his body to maintain it's shape, combine with his flight parts allow him to act similarly to a blimp making him slower in movement then his robot mode or beast mode underwater.
Glowstick's flight mode isn't as fast as other flight modes, though agile as it's propelled by a directional duct fan.As a duct fan, it's altitude is also less then flight provided by jets or rockets.
Glowstick's ambitious nature has lead him to over work himself, leading to poor decisions during his insomniac state.

As Protoform technology focuses more on energy efficiency, Glowstick can't operate his plasma blade for very long, it'll drain his systems to the point of stasis lock. Active the weapon also messes with radio frequencies, making Glowstick technically invisible to radar from ambient plasma, but at the cost of being unable to pick up radio signals, not something he doesn't like. Even worse, active the weapon slowly starts to cook the user's body from ambient heat.

SAMPLE POST:

A low sigh emits from Glowstick as he lays back against a rock staring at the night sky's twin moons. His feeder tentacles behind the back of his 'head' of his squid form, a ghostly blue pattern of lights dance like an equalizer from a sound system on his body as the song 'escape-reset' plays from his internal sound system. "Now this is the life" he thinks to himself "Fresh night air, the stars and moons and a pounding sound system!" he then cackles.

A moment later a gunshot blasts breaking the peace of the night as it slams into the rock behind Glowstick knocking him flying. "I'll give YOU a pounding! The Royalty commanded us to patrol this sector without failure!" Inferno then barks out at him, Glowstick gets up "Ug.. And just what do you think I was doing?! My job is to listen to maximal signals and act as a relay transponder so YOU can talk to the royalty from this distance!" he then shouts furiously.

Inferno walks towards the squid lifting him by the mantle "And is that noise a maximal signal?" he states aggressively pushing his gun into Glowstick's skin, the squid's eyes shift to the side "Maybe. Maybe it's a new subliminal tactic being used by the evil Maximals to brainwash us into being soldiers to them?" he states nervously with a bit of sweat sliding along his skin. 'This probably isn't going to work.. slag..'he thinks to himself.

Inferno looks puzzled for a moment "Of course! That sounds just like the sort of devious plan they would come up with! We must inform the royalty at once!" he shouts dropping Glowstick. The Squid looks up at Inferno "Er.. Yeah! But wouldn't Megatron be even more grateful if you destroyed the Maximal's relay tower instead?There's no time to waste!" he then shouts.

Inferno points his gun into the air "Your right! We will BURNNN those Maximals and their trickery once and for all! AHAHAHAHAHA!" the psychotic fireant then takes off into the night sky.

Glowstick sighs "That guy is a major pain in the dorsal fin. I oughta dissect that bug and blame it on Tarantulas.. Hey.. thats' a brilliant idea!" he then cackles to himself rubbing his feeder tentacles together.



(Edits:
Spec changes to reflect more accurate speeds of a Squid at Glowstick's size. From 7 to 5. stats shifted to courage and endurance.
Flash ability removed as it seems redundant since he already has a status effect weapon. Replaced with internalized flight since he already had most the parts for that anyway.

Updates!: In storybased Mission Glowstick modifies his body while in the field to enable flight in his beast mode and uses compressed air to act as the support required when out of water for his body,By maintaining constant pressure his squid mode is able to use alot of the principals blimps and other non-ridgid aircraft use.)

Through many successful missions, Glowstick was promoted to a higher rank. Laser weapon is no longer "chemical" type, as those type of lasers would be inefficient compared to transformer based technology. Medkit is now listed.
Update:Poison sword is now retired and replaced with Raver blade, stats edited. Endurance is down by one, Firepower increased by one.

Inventions list!:

Leviathan: The massive Predacon transport, it acts almost like a second home to him.

Cyber Squid drone:
Function:Espionage equipment, remote assistant, flashlight.
STRENGTH:3
INTELLIGENCE:2
SPEED:3
ENDURANCE:3
SKILL:5
Profile: Originally one of Tarantulus's spider drones, Glowstick stole the spider and tinkered with it for his own uses, using it to infiltrate the Maximal base. He later retooled the spider into a Squid of his image though it doesn't nearly have as many "arms" as a squid. It has however two main tentacles with claw ends and interface cables, and four legs which it can use to walk or hold things, as well as an array of lights on the sides and back. The Cybersquid floats through the air in method similar to Glowstick himself and has very simplistic voice command understanding. It's main purpose however is acting like a compact spy and thief under radio control or infrared control. Generally the squid remains inside of the Leviathan or Predacon base, only dragged out on spy missions if necessary, or certain missions that may require a floating flashlight/camera.


Electro laser rifle:
Firepower:6
Range:Short to mid
Info:Initially developed as a prototype from some spare laser parts, a mig welder, some capacitors, and some parts off Glowstick's sword, it was further developed into the weapon it is today. With one center laser and three lasers around that which act as the aiming method of the weapon, firing causes the lasers to intensify for the purpose of rapidly converting the air into a "tunnel" of plasma, allowing a electric current to be guided through with very low energy requirements making the weapon far more efficent then a simple "lightning gun". The purpose of the weapon is a amphibious gun to act as a counter measure towards the Maximal's Marine unit, but it's qualities make it suited for more situations then that. The Gun is stored in the ammo closet of the Leviathan.


Sonar sensor goggles:Part of Glowstick's Amphibious project, the goggles are a prototype device that allows the user to convert and bounce sound off objects to be depicted as a image, for dealing with the darkness and sometimes cloudiness of the ocean. Due to setbacks in the project, the goggles remain mostly in the Leviathan, though a pair has been given to Frilla to keep for whatever she may desire.

Skill: 4.0

Bio: Maximals, Predacons alike fear Lineos far more than each other. When the war between Maximal and Predacons broke out, Lineos was among the first to fight. Always in the thick of battle, Lineos slaughtered friend and foe alike in an energon lust. General after general dismissed him from their ranks after learning of his “off-duty activities.” Lineos feeds on the dead after every battle for reasons best kept to himself. A young field commander by the name of Megatron took Lineos under his wing despite learning of Lineos’ habits. Megatron’s troops, on the other hand, were not thrilled with a cannibal in the ranks. When the war ended, Lineos maintained contact with Megatron before getting a job the illegal pit-fighting arena. He gained a brutal reputation with the most kills ever in the arenas. To this day, no one knows where Lineos came from or how he got his name. Predacons still wonder how a demon got the name of an angel.

Weapons:

Ranged:
Lasos
This cannon is a one of a kind weapon. At first glance, it appears the tail broke in half and any attempt to fire it via the trigger on the would release energy on either side. However, that never happens due to some kind of generator. The only scientist who would know is dead and Lineos never lets any other scientist near it. Adjusting the distance between the two points to determine the amount of damage, then only when the weapon spins does the weapon fire.

Melee

Galvos
The often-heard scream when Galvos is mentioned usually consists of “That’s not a sword! That’s a club!” Indeed, for Galvos looks like someone took a club and gave it sharp edges on the tip and sides. Lineos calls it “Galvos, sword of the predacons,” while Predacons call it “the club of the Predacons,” to Lineos’ frustration.

Beast mode claws and tail
While rarely used, these two bits of armament are useful near raw energon.

Both modes teeth and poisonous salvia
After a month or two on earth, Lineos has been mixing raw meat with raw energon to create a deadly bite. If a victim is bitten, they have only six mega cycles to get to a CR chamber before they become Lineos’ new meal. The victim suffers ever increasing painful surges of energon coursing through their circuits.

Weaknesses:
Lineos, once in an energonlust, hurts both friend and foe. Other Predacons will abandon Lineos if they think they can get away with it. Not exactly the brightest predacon on Cybertron. Wields Galvos like a club instead of a sword. Destroys any attempt at a sneak attack. Easily enraged at comrades. If a traitor looks like they have a better chance at gaining the title than Megatron's chances of keeping it, than Lineos will aid the traitor.

BIO: Despite his Predacon namesake, Tantrum has a long history of making the wrong decision. Tantrum is the enforcer of the Predacons, always using brute force to see things through, even when it is not called for. He has severe anger problems and releases his anger by destroying anything unlucky enough to get in his way, to the chagrin of all around him.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Bio: Sonar was revered as one of the greatest scientist from both Maximal and Predicon side until he captured, tortured and killed two young maximals. He then was wanted for arrest by the maximals but was given a high honor by the Preds and was protected by them. He then took in a Maximal despite what what the Maximal heard he did and taught the maxi all he knew but kept some secrets to him self. But Sonar was the first crazed scientist of Cybertron that was a beast transformer. Tarantulas was the second.

BIO: Nightmist is often found soaring through the night sky on one of her reconnaissance missions. She enjoys the solitude as it gives her a chance to ponder who she is and to try to find a purpose in life.

She is both intelligent but also occasionally naive due to her lack of experience and her desire to think the best of her fellow maximals and predacons alike. The insecure nature of her personality leaves her questioning the necessity of the ongoing war against the predacons.

Her outlook on the world is that of a child, but with the sometimes overwhelming sensation of guilt without having the memories of what occurred in her past to cause her inner turmoil.

When asked to take on a task for the maximals, she chose to be a medical assistant. Nightmist is equipped with some medical equipment and skills.

Her personality is that of a sweetheart, eager to help those in need. She attempts not to judge others, although she may not always understand the actions they take.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:
Weapons:

Beast Form - Sharp claws and beak
Robot Form - Dart pistol used to fire injectable, rapid working medications.

Equipment:
Medical equipment for emergency medical care in the field.

WEAKNESSES: Nightmist has not yet realized the extent of the ongoing war between the maximals and the predacons. Her caring and sometimes naive nature does not allow her to separate friend from foe if injuries have occurred.

SAMPLE POST:

From her hiding spot in the top of a tall tree, Nightmist gazed upon the soothing light from the night sky. The sound of approaching soldiers echoed through the forest, but still she did not move.

Eventually her gaze fell down upon the ground below her, where a few of the soldiers had gathered. One of them appeared to be injured, with what looked like a broken off sword fragment jammed in his thigh.

With a sigh Nightmist dropped down, and as she did she wondered why the war still raged on when the results always involved injury or death.

"Give me some room," she told the soldiers as she knelt down by her wounded comrade.



(ooc: Altering the name to Nightmist. Trying to find the character so to speak)

Good gravy, me and Blaze have work to do. Rest assured, we're disscussing ranks now.

NAME: Orcariner

BIO: On Cybertron, Orcariner was one of the Maximals chosen to train under the guidance of the Imperial Peace Marshals. His mentor was one of the most reputable guardians to have ever watched over the uneasy peace that embraced the planet since the Great War. Orcariner learned from the marshal that intelligence was the key to victory in combat and a wise soldier must learn how to fight in various conditions in order to succeed. The Maximal had soon come to look to this individual as not only a teacher, but also an idol. It would be only a few deca-cycles before the young Orcariner would earn a title of his own and continue on to provide security for another territory.

Unfortunately, this would not come into fruition due to an unexpected event. Colony Omicron, his mentor’s territory, was destroyed at the hands of a Maximal criminal. The Imperial Peace Marshal’s spark became cold and worn as he left behind his apprentice pursued the murderer. Four deca-cycles later, Orcariner’s teacher returned to Cybertron with a captured being now known as Protoform X. The high council refused to execute the criminal and assigned the young captain of an exploration ship the task of marooning X’s inactive body on a barren planet. Trying to impress his old mentor, Orcariner volunteered to provide security duty over the stasis pod that imprisoned the indestructible spark. However, the former Imperial Peace Marshal gave not a compliment, but rather a warning.

“Pray to Primus that this pod stays shut. X has consumed tougher sparks than mine, so don’t even think for a nano-klick that he’ll hesitate to rip yours out, too!”

WEAPONS: Orcariner’s primary weapons are the two energon-laced serrated blades that extend from his wrists known as energo swords. Despite having a serene aqua blue appearance, the energon that runs through them allow the Maximal to slice through most materials, including Predacon armor. For ranged combat, he possesses a quasar blaster that fires small bright yellow energy projectiles. The blaster itself is not powerful enough to take out larger, more durable Predacon soldiers but it is adequate enough to scatter the grunt forces with ease.

ABILITIES: Orcariner is an expert melee combatant who is more than capable of engaging opponents larger than himself, using his size, strength, and endurance to his advantage. Being a marine-based soldier, he is a powerful swimmer in both beast and robotic mode. Unfortunately, his terrain running speed is sub-par and the Maximal is more often than not forced to rely on his surprisingly evasive maneuvers in battle. Although young, Orcariner’s training under an Imperial Peace Marshal has given him wisdom and tact beyond his peers. His access with Cybertron’s military database makes him excellent information reference regarding various technologies from CR chambers to broadside cannons. Being one of the larger Maximals, his radar sensors are able to reach farther distances. These features makes him a superb sentry candidate as the marine Maximal is able to report the incoming presence of robot form Predacons and foil their attempts at a surprise attack. In recent events, Rhinox and Rattrap helped Orcariner develop water-proof gravity lifts that attach to the underside of his beast mode. These devices are small enough to avoid chaffing during the transformation process and are capable of providing terrain mobility in his killer whale form. Orcariner is capable of achieving linear speeds up to 25 mph, although attempting to enact evasive maneuvers will be extremely difficult.

WEAKNESSES: Physically, Orcariner is one of the slower Maximals on land which places him at an obvious disadvantage against quicker flight based opponents. He can be reckless at times, something he had picked up from his teacher during several missions in the past. Due to his unfinished training, the warrior sometimes has difficulty when facing more experienced Predacons. While he had obtained his vast knowledge through library databases and stories, the Maximal has only minimal hands-on experience. For example, he would be unable to properly execute most of the memorized military strategies leaving seasoned opponents able to retaliate with more precision. Ranged combat is also an issue from time to time since his most powerful projectile based weapon is considered mid-tier at best. Combined with his horrendous accuracy, Orcariner is left better off making a tactical retreat when facing against the quicker, more agile flight-based Predacons.

SAMPLE POST: The Axalon rocked from as it absorbed the damage from another volley of the enemy’s broadside cannons. Orcariner quickly lost his balance and tumbled into a stack of crates that held items he wished were not so heavy. Red emergency lights lit the dark storage bay where the Maximal provided sentry duty over the stasis pods, particularly the enigmatic one that bore a large, decorative “X” over it. It was not an artistic design of Cybertron elegance, however, but a warning. One that was significant enough for the ship’s captain to order the soldier to stand guard over, despite the heat of the battle occurring above in the command center. Orcariner was not one to defy orders, especially ones he knew held great danger for the Axalon from within. Should the pod accidentally become damaged and release the diabolical secret inside, the young and inexperienced flight crew would be waging a war from two fronts. Another series of gunfire tore apart the exploration ship’s hull, rocking it hard enough to send Orcariner flying into the wall. The Maximal cried out as he pried his shoulder from the newly ripped hole in the wall. The ship’s severed pipeline had torn through his circuitry, and the impact of his fall increased the damage by dislodging his shoulder from its socket. Never suffering such an injury before, the robot attempted to push it back in, but his lack of medical expertise only made the injury worse. Sparks flew as the disfigured socket refused to allow the forcing limb to fully pop back into place.

He chose to ignore it and slowly walked back towards the chamber of stasis pods. Keeping the X pod intact was his primary objective, and it was one that he was willing to see through to the end. Voices of panic echoed the halls and elevator shafts. The battle was not going well, which was no surprise since no one had even anticipated one since their lift off from Cybertron. The Predacon cannons continued to punch holes into the Axalon, and unless if his captain could formulate a miracle plan, the crew would no longer be returning to their home planet. An explosion from one of the stations echoed above, with the shock of the attack rippling down the hull to the storage room below. Two of the stasis pods in the chamber broke free from their restraints and fell down upon the unsuspecting Maximal. Orcariner felt his back break from the initial slam of the first pod. The second crushed his legs. His optics began to project double images of whatever was around him, and soon his sound receptors deafened despite the loud bangs that roared from upstairs. Time passed indefinitely but the crippling pain continued its unrelenting assault throughout his systems. A rhythmic vibration touched him through the metal floor and soon a vague shadow was cast over his body. Orcariner heard a deep voice speaking to him, but to him it was faded and challenged by an irritating ring. Both of the stasis pods were lifted off his body by the massive crewman and the injured robot was turned onto his back. The other Maximal continued to speak to him, no doubt churning out words of futile comfort. After being dragged towards one of the empty stasis pods, Orcariner’s chest opened and a bright light shined from within him. His last image before entering stasis lock was his rescuer leaning down towards him and extracting his spark.


***Explanation***

Essentially, the sample post is his "pre-introduction" to the Beast Wars. He's one of the casualties between the battling space cruisers and therefore his spark is placed inside of a stasis pod. This, of course, means that once Optimus Primal ordered the ejection of all pods, Orcariner was one of the protoforms waiting to be dropped to Earth.

BIO: Serpenteria was once known as Sirena back on Cybertron. She was a famous songtress, singing ancient Cybertronian songs which involves with vocal singing (wordless). Serpenteria loved singing alot and she joined many competitions and came back with many awards until then she lost to a half maximal half predacon femme. Full of jelousy, she tried to kill her but failed as someone almost caught her trying to shoot her with her gun.

Few months later, She found out that her rival was a criminal with a long record of murdering and escaped out of prison and was chased out of Cybertron. She still want to terminate her so she used a Starhopper and travel to space to find her one and only rival.

After crash-landing into one of the sea shores of Earth, (where Rampage and DC were fighting in Deep Metal) she manage to scan the bones of a King Cobra and a Lionfish and came out like a venomous sea cobra fuzor.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Plasma Bladed Polearm (Ranged)
A polearm with a large sharp blade fashioned with gems. It can shoot out plasma lasers.

Laser Harp
A golden harp but deadly. When it is played by strumming all the strings on it, it can shoot out a visible purple blade-like laser.

Mouth
Shoots out water or cyber venom.

ABILITY
Serpenteria's singing can manipulate a bot' if he/she hears it and do her bidding. The spines are extremely venomous(from head to tail) which gives the effect of extreme pain, drowsiness, and paralysis, vertigo and blurred vision. Her venom can be an antidote if the victim got poisoned by her venom. She cannot be poisoned by her own venom. Her swimming ability is excellent as her fins increases her speed in water.

WEAKNESS: Her manupliation skills can be wasted if someone alerts the victim. She cannot battle in a area which is too dry and too hot. Sometimes if she attack using her spines by hitting on hard objects, She cannot move as her spines are stuck. Her armor is usually quite thin. Any melee attacks used on her, she would knock into stasis lock quite easily. If she injects her cyber venom to her victim,(who got cybervenomized by her) the victim would get cured but the effects of her poison would wear off.

SAMPLE POST:
(don't know what to post)

Just to note, Sirens are a real animal if your interested. A snake/eel like Salamander creature with only front limbs and external gills kinda having a Chinese dragon appearance.

http://donavanlakes.org/sirenphotos.htm

Can we put 2 more extra infos like age and mental age? like the previous bio template. I sorta "hated" 'bots calling my OC "an innocent youth" or whatever SO IMA CHANGE MY OC'S AGE AND MENTAL AGE XD

What's the difference between the two? What if someone's rocking a 1500+ year old uber evil Predacon and they start calling you an "innocent youth" cuz they just happen to be older and more experienced in the ways of evil?

(I figured I'd post the stuff about my oc that I've been roleplayin as A LOT lately, I suck at bios and stuff so tell me what I need to fix ^^;;; )

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: Bow and energy arrows, whip

WEAKNESSES: Her anger and emotions tend to get in the way during a battle.

SAMPLE POST: *from an rp with Darkshadow where the two went into the past and came back. Didn't know what else to post, really ^^;;;*

The femme approached the fallen crab as the other Maximals were speechless, not knowing what to say. She aimed another arrow at his chest when she was stopped by another.

Just as Aprodite was about to hit him with her arrow, another one, arrow, came and interfered with her's. "'Dite, stop it." Rampage wasn't exactly pinned down, since being the monster that he was, he got up and snatched the arrow from his body.

"You honestly think that one puny arrow will keep me down?"

Optimus made sure that none of the Maximals came in between this. He looked at all of them, "This isn't our battle, " Than looking at Rampage and 'Dite he continued. "It's there's."

Darkshadow didn't hear the Maximal leader as she stepped in the middle of the two, he back to the crab, which was her first mistake. "The past is the past for a reason."

"No! He murdered my father." The newly matured sea horse spoke.

"Baaa! You two brought the past to reality, as well to the present. It'll change the future." Rampage grabbed Dark by the scruff of her fur. "Now, now puppy. Our time to talk will be soon, but not now." With that, he tossed Darkshadow in the air with hearing a; "ARRRRRROOOOOO!"

Silverbolt transformed to beast mode him and Rattrap were off in a heartbeat to find the shape-shifter. They knew she couldn't morph while being thrown in the air.

"How was good old; Daddy?" Rampage sneered as he was approaching the much shorter Maximal. "Was he smiling?" Every thing he was saying was stinging Aphrodite, right in the heart-err spark. "He shouldn't have messed with fire, cause he got burned."
"Shut up!" She ran and actually managed to punch him in the face, hard, making him stumble a bit.
"You little-!" He grabbed her with one hand around her neck and picked her up in the air, "You're pathetic, just like your entire family."
"You-!" She gasped as his grip tightened.
"Your mother was as foolish as you are, my dear." He slammed her body hard into a rock, cracking it.
Aphrodite kneed the crab in the chest repeatedly, hoping it would do some damage.
"Your pain is wonderful but I want to feel your fear! You're anger is blocking your training as a warrior, my dear."

I took what you said, Blazemane and I agree Angel is too weak. So, here's a revised version. Her bio has been changed too.


NAME: Angel
ALLEGIANCE: Maximal
FUNCTION: Double Agent/Warrior
ALTERNATE MODE: Dove
HEIGHT: 5’5 in robot mode 4’5 in beast mode
QUOTE: “After being in Predacon Territory for so long, a lone Maximal learns a few things but the most important rule of all is: “Watch your back.” ”

STRENGTH: 5
INTELLIGENCE: 5
SPEED: 5
ENDURANCE: 5
RANK: Assigned by the staff.
COURAGE: 7
FIREPOWER: 4
SKILL: 6

BIO: Angel was assigned as a spy for the Maximals in the Predacon Underworld. Her mission was simple; get into the ranks of Cryotek’s band of criminals and relay information. Little did Angel knew how many trials she had to go to just to earn her place as a loyal pet of Cryotek which meant a slave in Predacon terms. It was rough on Angel but she has learned how to survive. When Megatron took the Golden disk, his execution squad was going to execute her because of her loyalty to Cryotek but she escaped them. The Maximal Elders though abandoned her. She had to go to the Tripredicus Council and beg them to let her in their ranks. After doing some errands for them, she was bringing some cargo in when a Maximal security outpost attacked her ship, she flew to evade them. She didn’t fire on them but she was forced to when they were about to shoot her shields out. She told them to contact the Elders and see that she was on their side but they didn’t listen and she was forced to fire again. Both ships floated in the space and eventually crashed down to Earth or Angel thought it looked like Earth.






WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

Semi-automatic pistol (Think about Rattrap’s gun)




Sword:
A long, sleek white sword that can cut into anything.

Stun Grenades:
These grenades cause a false sense of emergency and puts a robot down in five seconds.

Wings
White, metal plated wings that she uses to escape or fly around the area for scouting or just plain fun. She can also defend herself against attacks on her person.


WEAKNESSES: She is still young to the world but she knows how to get herself out of mess because of her time with Preds. She is very frightened by individuals like Megatron. She is also very shaky in stance and also is very frightened easily.

(Well here's my character!)

NAME: Feralnight
Age:18
Gender:female
ALLEGIANCE: Maximal
FUNCTION: Scout/Tracker
ALTERNATE MODE: Black wolf-husky/raven fuzor

SKILL: 6
[Stats excluding rank must not total over 45!]

BIO: Before being chosen to be as a protoform again Feralnight was once just a scout, for which faction however is unknown, but now she uses her skills to help her fellow Maximals. Long before this FEralnight was a peace loving bot, usually staying away from trouble. Like a few lcuky oens she was raised in the higher parts of the city or the most wealthy in other words. Her 'parents' were alittle over protective, always trying to pamper her of being the best in the city. However she was not swayed. On the contrary this femme would sneak out at night just to enjoy the life fo a normal transformer and eventually ran away at 13 beocming part of the scotus training program. After 4 years there she headed off on her own. But where she went tere were always signs of battle and Feralnight could never truly enjoy those qualities of war. When she was boarded on the Avalon eventually her pod crashed after the Quantom surge but heavily damaged. It resulted in her transformation of the odd husky-wolf mix and a raven, she also developed an odd accent of an Australian.In the sense of her personality Feralnight believes in freedom and justice to all,she would risk ehr own life to see these goals achieved.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES: Despite her beast form Feralnight has very few weapon choses.One is a feather sword from eachwing to which she uses in her close-combat. Her only firepower is the cannon mounted on her shoulder and a Laser Gun at her hip with the occasional bomb for distractions.
The best ability she has is tracking.Just a few whiffs of a item or someone's scent and she can track them down despite the faintest trail.

WEAKNESSES: Feralnight's weakness is her constant curiuosity of the factions activites and plans which often can get her caught up in a fight or a battle just going on.Her timing isn't always great either, this ahs led her to be at the wrong palce at the wrong time.

SAMPLE POST: Prowling through the rocky terrain near the dorment volcano of the old ship called the Ark a odd looking creature was seeking the Maximals. Eyes flashing at every sound and movement,shadowed and non-hadowed, Feralnight was very tense and anxious. This was not usually the thing she did but for some reason she had grown curious of the Maixmal's new base as ti was sayings she heard from the Predacons and Maximal patrols. But as luck would have it the night had made it too dark to see clearly, even wiht inhanced night vision she couldn't find the entrance.

'I will try again come morning.' She thought and decided to find a rock overhang or something to wait.

NAME:Icebreaker
ALLEGIANCE:Maximal
FUNCTION:Polar Amphibious Ops, Search and Rescue, field medic
ALTERNATE MODE:Penguin
HEIGHT:Beast mode 5 7' Robot mode 9 6' ft
QUOTE:

INTELLIGENCE:5
SPEED:7
ENDURANCE:5
RANK:6
COURAGE:8
FIREPOWER:7
SKILL:6
[Stats excluding rank must not total over 45!]

BIO:Brash, young, and at times Arrogant, Icebreaker is a rather wild Maximal. His courageous nature makes him almost seem a daredevil or suicidal against impossible odds though seems to have enough luck not to hang himself a lot of the time. An expert of polar and marine terrain, he is skilled in moving in these environments and finds them rather fun to the reluctance of some of his team members. His love of the cold also acts as a double edged knife as he's prone to overheating in hotter terrain, this results in him often becoming frustrated or more aggressive then usual. Icebreaker's skill at wilderness survival makes what most feel a horrible primitive planet feel like a playground to him.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:
Icebreaker is capable of most skills of a penguin, high jumps, walking upright, swimming to great depths and even sliding on his stomach over ice snow sand and grass making up for his slow walking speeds. In Robot mode he carries a tactical visor to assist in detecting cybertronian heat signatures. The design of his feet (which carry spare grappling hooks) improves his walking on sandy or snowy terrain, much like snowshoes.

Optional equipment:
Tarps
Cable & cable accessories
First aid kit
Harness
Energon Canteen


Weapons:
Frost Launcher:A Micro missile launcher firing normal or grappling missiles with a repel line for climbing, with an alternate mode allowing it to fire off bolts of super cold energy freezing surfaces or even putting out fires. Micro missiles carried in a magazine of four, either Cryo or plasma based. Targeting system is based on heat signatures with lock on accessible through use of his tactical visor.

Survival Knife:A large sized knife used as not only a combat weapon but also as a wilderness tool of many functions in Icebreaker's hands.

Break Shield:A rather large and strange shield which is equipped with a powerful micro rubber caterpillar tread designed to use the shield as a type of Surfboard, riding across water at high speed or even grass,sand, and snow plains. The board is large enough to even support two on it but Icebreaker rides it better alone. As a shield it usually is carried on his back or over his left arm providing decent cover against firepower or blunt strikes.


WEAKNESSES:Icebreaker's beast mode is slower on land in some terrain. His personality makes him at odds with any commanding officer.
His great courage makes him too reckless at times when involved with mission operations easily racking up more damage then usual and shrugging it off even as it weakens his performance.

Being more of a loner wandering the planet makes him unused to team situations at times. His Infrared visor can only be used in robot mode and can be tricked in certain methods (seen by Dinobot and Rattrap in the tv series.) Overheating may make him more aggressive and more prone to making bad choices which could be life threatening while on a mission.



SAMPLE POST: The snow fell silently over the the mountain range as the penguin slid down it on his stomach, his red eyes looking cheery as he let out a joyous cry of "Ya-hoo!". His mind thought of how beautiful and fun this planet was, even compared to Cybertron.

His body weaved leaving a winding and curving line in the snow, then his eyes widen as he noticed a cliff ahead. He swung his flippers to dig into the snow but to no avail, shooting off the side of the cliff. In the air he flapped his flippers while falling "It's times like these I wish I could fly!"
