Current Autobot Roster
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 12:25 pm
This is a revision of the earlier roleplay character rosters created by Galvatron (thanks Galvy). With the shifting events of the roleplay over the last few years, the cast of characters has significantly changed. In order to avoid confusion about who is currently playing I would like it if anyone who is an AUTOBOT currently involved in the roleplay could post a character profile here. I would prefer that your profile be layed out in the following way.
NAME
Function: Character's role or job within their faction.
Character Stats (optional): This isn't a neccessary thing to do, but it's fun and gets you thinking about how your character comapares to other player's characters. If you're using a character straight out of some TF continuity feel free to just post that character's stat card if you know it. The stats represented here are the following. If anyone has a better (or official) description of what the stats stand for, please let me know.
STR: Strength, the character's physical strength.
INT: Intelligence: the character's mental ability not exclusively IQ.
SPD: Speed, the character's reaction time and physical speed.
END: Endurance: the character's toughness and ability to take damage.
RNK: Rank: a rough estimate of the character's place on their faction's chain of command.
COR: Courage: a rough estimate of the character's bravery.
FRP: Firepower: a rough estimate of how much heat a character is packing.
SKL: Skill: a rough estimate of how competent a character is at performing most tasks.
Character Description: What the character looks like. Please post this even if you're playing a well known character (like Optimus Prime). Include a description of the character's alt mode(s). This can be as short or detailed as you would like.
Character Bio: Can be a few sentences or a long, epic tale of the character's past and present condition. Regardless of the length, details are always appreciated. You don't need to share everything, for instance if your character has a deep secret that not many people know about don't put it here.
Weapons/Abilities: What does the character use in combat? What else can the character do? What are they known for?
Weaknesses: Every character should have some weakness. Can be as simple as a malfunctioning weapon or as complicated as an irrational fear of things flying overhead.
Dialogue Font Color: (if you use this) Many players have started using a specific color for their character's speech text. Please let us know what color you use so that we can tell you apart.
Character Owned Ships, Binary Bonded Partners, Vehicles, etc. Just list and give a brief description. You can make a separate entry for them if you would like.
Blackjack
Function: Current Autobot leader. Former infiltration specialist.
STR: 6
INT: 9
SPD: 9
END: 7
RNK: 9
COR: 5
FRP: 6
SKL: 10
Description: A relatively small transformer; shorter than average transformers (Rachet, Ironhide) but taller than cassettebots or small transformers (Bumblebee, Cliffjumper). Body is all black with a gold face, hands, and some miscellaneous parts. Alt mode is a Lotus Esprit John Player's Special colored black with gold trim and a gold interior. Has an Autobot symbol and a gold ace of spaces on his front hood in Esprit mode.
Bio: Once a skilled stealth and infiltration expert (and expert gambler) under the command of Optimus Prime, Blackjack opted to stay behind on Cybertron when the Autobot commander headed off to Earth. He fought bravely against the Decepticons until the loss of his close friend Roulette caused him to take another look at the war. He left Cybertron and went in search of another way of life. Finding his way to the gambling planet Monacus, Blackjack united with an ex-member of Nebulon's undercover police organization. The two teamed up to tackle tough illegal gambling rings. On a number of his investigations, Blackjack became increasingly invovled with the Decepticon Space Mafia and their leader Pinstripe. During a vicious shootout with Pinstripe's goons Blackjack was critically injured. Only through bonding with his Nebulon partner through the Headmaster process did he survive the ordeal. Blackjack escaped from Monacus with his life intact.
After many years of searching through space for answers and a place to call his own, Blackjack received an Autobot transmission asking for all Autobots to return to Iacon. He returned to find a changed group of Autobots led by Rodimus Prime fighting a completely different war against the Decepticons. Blackjack lent his stealth expertise to the group and went on to unite with his and advise his long time friend Cambreaker who became the eventual Autobot leader.
Now many years have passed and Cambreaker has mysteriously left Cybertron on some mission. Blackjack decides that he must unite the remaining Autobots and reluctantly lead them against an unknown Decepticon threat.
Weapons/Abilities: A decent marksman, Blackjack's prized weapon is an long range ion rifle with an auto-fire option. He uses his knowledge of stealth and his full cloaking suite to get the right positions to take down his enemies silently. When not using stealth to his advantage, Blackjack enjoys getting in close and taking down the 'cons with a few well-placed kicks (his headmaster partner taught him a few things about hand-to-hand combat). Blackjack's stealth is complimented by a complete tracking system, a small-scale hologram projector, and a weak surface-thought scanner (mostly used for cheating at cards).
Weaknesses: Being a smaller transformer, Blackjack doesn't have the durability and fighting skill of other Autobots. His reckless behaviors, based mainly around gambling on outcomes, are unbefitting an Autobot leader and he puts himself in danger rather than risk other's sparks. Blackjack has never led anyone aside from a few raids on the DSM and he doesn't really know what it will be like to lead the Autobots.
Font Color: Black (Bold).
Possessions: Blackjack has a headmaster partner named Brakkas Garlon, a former Nebulon security officer and grizzled veteran. Brakkas takes a no nonsense approach to fighting the Decepticon menace. His experience and council have helped Blackjack through many a tough situation.
Compensating for his size and lack of frontline staying power, Blackjack highjacked one of Megatron's pet projects: a powerful tank weapon. With the help of his friend Double Clutch, Blackjack rebuilt the tank into a transformer named the Royal Flush. Although the Flush currently does not have its own sentience, Blackjack and one other Autobot can pilot it safely. It still retains its tank alt mode (based on Megatron's G2 tank form) with powerful cannons. The Royal Flush's robot mode is similar in size to a combiner team. Its cannons transform into a larger version of Blackjack's ion rifle. The flush can fly and transport a small number of other Autobots. It is also capable of space travel.
