Name: Whiteout
Gender: Mech
Weapons: He can shoot liquid, reinforced nitrogen from his hands, and this is the only weapon that he uses. However, he can readily forge them into icy blades, swords, spears, and all other such weapons.
Faction: Neutral
Rank: Former Decepticon spy
Bot form: He's a tall, slender mech built somewhat more for agility than strength. The majority of his body is starkly white. However, there are a few places on his body which are chrome. His wings form something like a cloak around him when he is in his natural mode, and a fog of icy chill seems to constantly imamate around his feet to shroud them. Most of his body is covered in a thin, frosty film. Physically, he is a rather eye catching character.
Alt. (Vehicle) form: A Sax-40 kind of aircraft, although, if it were practical, he'd rather be any vehicle compatible with snow and ice.
Personality: quiet, clever, sly, resourceful, laid back, quick to take advantage, makes the best of a bad situation
History: He joined the Decepticons after being a neutral for some time. The only reason he joined was because he had been sent by a rogue Autobot to board the Nemesis and steal some key information in turn for a very hefty reward. Unfortunately, he was caught, and, to avoid being killed, he smooth-talked his way into their ranks if he was promised his life. He remained a Decepticon until Megatron's startling change of spark. Now, with no one threatening his life, he has chosen to go neutral again, ready to do the work of the highest bidder.
Crush?: No one.
Family?: None.
Other?: ...
Name: Hijack
Gender: Mech
Weapons: A large stinger attached to his robotic thorax, which can be loaded with various poisons and viruses which, surprisingly, he himself creates. However, he gets his name from a particular virus of his, one which enables him to hijack a Cybertronians' mind and control them entirely.
Faction: Insecticon
Rank: He is a simple warrior due to certain barriers which hinder his true talents and intelligence from being known.
Bot form:
A well-postured bot, particularly for an Insecticon, Hijack stands tall with broad shoulders and an almost exaggeratedly trim waist. Despite this, he is a well armored Insecticon, who, like most of his kind, can be dealt a lot of damage before he falls. His legs are sturdy, and, at his heels, his normally single stinger divides into two so that certain kicks can administer whatever he so happens to be loaded with at the time. His always present wings, when he is in his bipedal mode, fold quaintly and neatly behind him unless he so chooses to flare them. From head to toe, Hijack is a sleek black in color which glimmers brilliant in a sheer coating of golden paint. Even his optics are covered with insect-like, bulging lenses which hide the glow of his optics, whatever color they are.
Alt. (Vehicle) form:
When Hijack, transforms, he appears to be a large robotic wasp.
Personality: quiet, unassuming, loyal, obedient, low self-esteem, brilliant, competent, patient, resilient, accepting
History: N/A
Crush?: No one
Family?: N/A
Other?: For unknown reasons, Hijack cannot speak fluidly. For this reason, many assume him to be of low intelligence. He is incapable of verbally conveying that he actually has enough intelligence to create his own poisons and viruses, and, after eons of being called an empty helm, Hijack simply hangs his head and accepts the opinions of all intelligent beings that insult him.
Name: Shatter
Gender: Femme
Weapons: Tactical photon warheads, dual energy blasters, dual arm blades, ionized daggers
Faction: Decepticon
Rank: Lieutenant General of Seeker force A-209
Bot form: Shatter stands about a head shorter than most mech Seekers, though her slender, lanky physique give the illusion of more height. Even in bot form, everything about her design is tailored to cutting edge aerodynamics. Her slightest maneuver slices through the air as a carefully crafted blade. She moves in constant grace and precision, as light and as effortless as air. Her natural fluidity is reflected in her color scheme. Her base is an unpainted, silvery alloy which is accented in pale sky blue and smart touches of white. Her optics are a soft-glowing yellow.
Alt. (Vehicle) form: Her current form is a Cybertronian assault and pursuit aircraft, made up of sharp angles and artful grooves especially designed for aerodynamics and maneuverability.
Personality: deeply loyal, ambitious, reliable, tenacious, gritty, intelligent, articulate, cunning, seductive, philosophical, resigned
History: Shatter began her life in the artisan caste, living out her days in Polyhex along the Lower Pool. She preferred the literary arts over the physical and became a renown writer of her time, particularly to the philosophically-minded in Nova Cronum, for she was an unusual writer. Unlike her lesser-minded peers, she found cunning ways to philosophize the errors of the caste system and the bleak future in store without bots like the High Councilmen ever catching on. She spent her time getting rich off of her subtle and intriguing genius, living in a haze of high grade and copious late night visits to the Altihex Casino and barely legal underground clubs filled with eclectic and eccentric characters. Such a wild life ended upon the day of her autograph tour that took her to her favorite city Nova Cronum; it was the day the Decepticon forces came and decimated it, murdering anyone who would not pledge immediate loyalty to them. She pledged it unflinchingly, not out of fear of death, but because she wanted to. Corruption had already touched Cybertron, she had once said to her posse of over-energized nightclubbers, and now it can never leave. The tyranny Megatron threatened to bring to Cybertron seemed inevitable to her, and so she supposed she might as well find herself a place somewhere near the top of the social pyramid he was rearranging. She quickly impressed even herself with her affinity for in-air combat, soon surpassing the skills of even those who had belonged to Seeker militias before the war. Even better, she proved just as gifted in hand to hand combat, making her a versatile and exceptionally useful ally. She became assigned to a trine consisting of a mech named Jetstream, the commander, and another mech, a subordinate like her, named Comettail. They quickly became an inseparable trio, until Comettail was shot down providing air support with the trine as Decepticon ground troops worked a seizing an Autobot stronghold. Orders from Megatron forbade either her or Jetstream from searching for their fallen trine-mate until the siege was complete. Several solar cycles later, the siege was complete, and she and Jetstream morosely began to comb through the rubble of the fallen city. Comettail was found already offline, scorched by the fiery impact of air-raid suppression warheads and crushed beneath tons of alloy rubble. It was devastating, but Shatter and Jetstream were each other's strength. They managed on without him, finally meeting fortune when Jetstream became military general over an off-planet squadron of Seeker's titled A-209. He titled Shatter his lieutenant general, and for eons they won battles together. Recently, rumor has been spreading that the war has ended with the surrendering of the Decepticons, but neither Shatter or Jetstream believed it until Megatron himself showed up on an apparent "peace tour". Shatter denounced it, nearly getting herself killed by the forces he had brought with him to execute all Decepticons who were unwilling to let go of the war. In the chaos surrounding her and some of the squadron's rebellion, every one of her subordinates was killed as she was separated from Jetstream. However, knowing that he would find her, she raced off to every planet which once bore Decepticon pride until hearing rumors about a potential uprising on Earth. She speeds there now without rest. It is only a matter of time before she arrives.
Crush?: No one.
Family?: She considers her trine-mates a part of this.
Other?: N/A
Name: Haze
Gender: Mech
Weapons: Various gas canisters. The ones he most commonly carries on his person are four specific types. The first explodes in a gas which collects around the joints of his enemies and hardens them, effectively paralyzing his victim. The second explodes into a bright yellow gas that effects the neural circuitry of his enemies, causing mass confusion to the point of crippling his foes. The third and perhaps his most cruel weapon explodes in an ugly rust color gas that is capable of stripping most bots down to their spark in under a minute, though this gas is tricky to concoct and so he uses it sparingly. The last type he carries explodes in an unassuming grey gas that appears to be nothing more than smoke, though in actuality it targets the optic nerve and compromises it, blinding his enemies so that they will "see" the battlefield in a more fair light.
Other than his notorious chemical weaponry, Haze carries a large, ionized machine gun on his back, and his right arm is capable of transformation into a heavy blade.
Faction: Decepticon, though likely to turn Autobot
Rank: Former commander of the since extinct Ground Force 87, unofficial chemical weaponry specialist
Bot form: Haze is a large, hulking figure that nearly rivals Megatron in stature. His size and dominant stature are often quite imposing, especially paired with the two dead optics that stare listlessly and without the slightest flicker of color or light. His entire body is painted in black with a gunmetal finish, though an ominous, neon green glows from somewhere deep beneath his plating constantly, murky and entangled in faint wisps and tendrils of an ever present emanation of an unidentifiable substance. Slung across his torso is a wide bandolier in which he stores his gas canisters.
Alt. (Vehicle) form: He has none.
Personality: quiet, imposing, reserved, thoughtful, decisive, ambitious, strict, no nonsense, ruthless, unforgiving, fair, honorable, mildly corrupted sense of justice
History: When Haze was born, he proved to have failed to develop not only connections to his optical processors, but also lacked said optical processors entirely. He even lacks the parts to scan his world in other ways that might collect data and show him his surroundings in an internal display. For this reason, he was condemned to be scrapped, though once he realized this, he managed a wild escape. Condemned immediately as a fugitive without any knowledge of his planet, he stumbled around, literally blindly, for some time, from place to place until he learned for himself how to assimilate to Cybertron's society, though his wanted status drove him underground, where he eventually formed a gang that both terrorized and ran a rather large section of Iacon's business district. Despite his rather degenerate and unpromising beginnings, he became a sophisticated crime boss with a network of loyal followers who he saw as family. As for those his gang killed and terrorized, he took no pity upon him, for they never showed compassion or kindness to him. He joined the Decpeticons with the brunt of his following in hopes of a truly fair and equal world, though when that Decepticon ideal fell apart, he remained mostly out of a logical sense of fear, for, by then, he was in far too deep to safely withdraw. His beginnings were cruel in the Decpeticons. He was placed on the ground as a combat soldier who would presumably die his first day, but he defied the odds and even thrived. He became the commander of a ground unit and spent his spare time usefully as a chemical weaponry experimentalist for the Decepticon cause. Though he showed great promise, he potential was cut short when one of his dearly beloved soldiers, one he had known since his early days as an underground criminal, betrayed him out of jealousy and sent him hurtling into the unknown of space in a stasis pod that eventually crashed on Earth. He remains in stasis to this day.
Crush?: No one.
Family?: None
Other?: Haze is completely blind and, as a result, he cannot assume an alt. mode and finds his way around by means of short range echo location.
