First Season Canon Auditions

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Nicely done, WorpeX! And you're right, we don't have an owner for Airazor, so thank you very much for auditioning for her. I say you've got the part!

[Alak]

Whoo! I was really confused about who was playing Airazor so I'm glad we finally have a confirmed name.

[WorpeX]

Where should I start? Can I join in on "OC Episode #3", or should I wait until the next thread is made?

Also, thanks OOP!

[NaitoKage]

unforunately Airazor's pod hasn't landed yet, so possibly episode 4? Um..or we could say that event already happened.. I'll go with whatever OOP says.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

You're welcome, WorpeX.

Well, what do you think, WorpeX? If you don't want to wait, we can pretend that Airazor has already landed and has been activated on Earth so that you can start playing right now and join a team or just hang out at the Axalon. Or if you want to share an episode with Inferno's arrival, we can do that in the next episode (topic). It really doesn't matter to me.

By the way, I've had enough of the bird beast modes now. Updated rule for the game: No more bird or feline beast modes allowed.

[NaitoKage]

And then the maximals lost more fliers. j/k Lets see.. currently there is.. I guess four birds active in the game with Icebreaker, Nightmist,Nemesis, and Airazor. If Skyfire or Valkyrie return that would put them up to six..eight if you count Feralnight and Silverbolt.. But then again there are also Tigatron, Wintersong, Saberfang, Cheetor, StarShadow, and Venatrix(if she returns) giving us six cats. Though to be fair, we all saw that coming as cats are some of the most popular animals with women.. followed by dogs and horses. Birds on the other hand have majority on flying other then bats, insects, and a few species of dinosaur.

Yet out of all those, I can predict we will probably not have anymore water types, specially not predacons as they tend to go for more "creepy" animal modes anyway.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

You bring up a good point, NK. As long as you limit yourself to having to fly just because of your beast mode. While OP can't fly in his gorilla beast form, he can in robot mode. Same goes for Depth Charge (although that's getting into TransMetals and all that jazz).

I'm just looking for a little more creativity. There are tons of insects to choose from. There are other birds besides hawks and falcons. Heck, someone could have a beast mode of a flying squirrel and possibly have the ability to fly (not just glide) in their robot mode with the help of thrusters like Terrorsaur.

I love una's choice for Whitegrazer. I always wanted to see an equine on the show (but they're difficult to animate). Also, Orcariner, Icebreaker and Glowstick are all quite unique.

I'm just looking for something different, I guess.

[NaitoKage]

True. Er.. well there was A horse transformer in Beast wars Neo.. but Mach Kick gives me nightmares. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mach_Kick I'm glad Whitegrazer looks nothing like that. Then there's the Battle Unicorn toy from Beast machines which.. is strangely rather violent looking. Like Robot Unicorn attack in either variation..

And as you may guess, I have done some research on horse robots lately for a certain art piece.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Should I have specified "Mainframe's Beast Wars/Beasties" show? I kind of figured there was a horse in Neo.

I'm glad Whitegrazer looks nothing like that.

I'd have to agree. Can't wait to see your drawing.

I'll do whatever makes more sense in your story! I'm not going anywhere. I really just wanted to snag Airazor before someone else did. haha

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

I understand, WorpeX. That's fine. Then we'll dedicate the next episode to both Airazor and Inferno's arrivals. Thank you so much for taking her!

[WorpeX]

Also, for the record, im not really too interested in doing the whole "other visits" stuff... so if we can just keep Airazor and Tigatron around (or just Airazor)... that would be just prime.

[NaitoKage]

That's fine. You could probably have Airazor do the whole transmetal thing too.

[WorpeX]

We'll see, I don't really like her transmetal form too much although it did look good in primevil dawn and Cypherplex's model looked great too. I'm still partial to her original. xD

With old characters dying and new characters arriving in Season 2, I figured it'd be nice to revive this topic up early. Based off the old canon auditions thread, here's the guidelines:

- List the name of the character you're auditioning for.
- Write two sample posts: in-battle and out of battle.
- Post must be fresh, so you can't recycle old material from another RPG that you played in.
- Posts must include: dialogue, internal thoughts, and actions.
- You may utilize other canon characters that you're not auditioning for in your sample post to help out.

I hope I got everything right since it's like a whole different group of people who are running things now. I believe OOP is the only remaining judge (or maybe she was the only judge). I was thinking that maybe we could just fill this topic with auditions until Season 2 arrives. Afterwards, OOP (if she's willing) and other volunteers who are familiar with the show can announce which role goes to which player. Any drop in activity from then on can just lead to spontaneous character handling like we're doing now. If the judges can't choose between two great auditions, then those two players can break the tie by engaging in rock-paper-scissors to the death.

Oh, and if anyone's tired of playing a canon character (who's going on into Season 2), be sure to state that the character is available for auditioning.
