Sign Up Beast Machines: Aftershocks

[Solo Tremaine]

The title may change if/when this finally goes up.

PROVISIONAL STORY (This will most likely change as I come up with better ideas or if anyone else has any suggestions as to what could happen): Several mega-cycles have passed since the dramatic reformatting of Cybertron. Instead of a dark, cold metal lump in orbit around a sun, it has now become a bright, living planet, rich with new bio-mechanical life. It now has several oceans, forests, and a large metallic desert, along with its gigantic cities teaming with Transformer life.

The Transformers of the current era, having rid themselves of Megatron, now face a new danger- the Predacon Alliance. With the rebirth of thousands of Cybertronians, were hundreds of Predacon warriors. Despising the Maximals ways, they swore bloody revenge on them, and they are now at the brink of a bitter new war, with many civilian lives at risk. Both sides struggling to gain access to a hidden chamber deep within Cypertron's core that could hold the key to victory, the planet's existence hangs in the balance...

Okay, now that the story's over and done with (and if anyone thinks of a better one, I'm more than happy to go with that instead- I'm not too sure what they're supposed to be looking for here), here are the rules:

1. You can be any character from [I]any Transformers toy or TV series[/I] (including the original series, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, RiD, Armada and The Four Warriors from the Sky if you really wanted) except Unicron, Fortress Maximus, Megatron (RiD and Armada okay) , Optimus (RiD and Armada okay) and Galvatron (TF only- the Robots in Disguise one is okay). This includes any special edition characters you know, including the 2001 BotCon Arcee and Tigertron, Shokaract, Cyclonus and I can't remember any others. You can be an Optimus, but there can be only one- you can choose from Optimus Prime from RiD and Armada, Big Convoy, Primal Prime and Rodimus Prime.

If you want, you can also be a human or a Quintesson, or Primacon (Unicron's creator- one only). But, bear in mind they're all in different timestreams, so you'll have to think of a good reason why your character's back in this era. For example, if you wanted to be Starscream from the original TF or Silverbolt from BW, you'll need a plausible back-story to explain their reappearance or reverting to a different form. Or at least something that vaguely makes sense. I?ve not seen most of the original series, so you could get away with a lot here. Don't worry about plot-holes too much.

Also, since there are lots of different Prowls, Scavengers etc, things could get confusing, so if someone is one of those already and you want to be a different form, you'll have to think of a new name. Fictional Transformers are okay too. You can gender-bend too, but within reason. Main characters featured in the series can?t be changed, so Cheetor can?t be a girl.

2. The allegiances are those in the series: Predacon, Decepticon, Vehicon, Destron and Quintesson are all bad; Autobot, Maximal and Cybertoron are all good. Humans and Primacon can be either good or bad.

3. You can be more than one character if you want, but we'll need a balance (i.e one good/one bad), and no more than two per player.

4. We'll need side leaders, too. I?ll let you be them- one Prime/Convoy and one nasty big villain, who could be Magmatron, Tripredacus, Galvatron (RiD) or Megatron (Armada). There could even be contest for leadership, but don't let it take over the game. I'll decide on a leader for the Predacon group once people have signed up. Note: Once someone decides on being a Prime/Convoy, they are automatically the leader of the Maximals.

5. To sign up, you'll need to give these details:
Name:
Allegiance:
Function: (e.g. scientist, warrior, aerial/ground/sea reconnaissance, commander, strategist, Prime, demolitions/explosives expert, megalomaniac etc)
Physical Appearance: (Just a brief description of the character so we can remember what he/she looks like)
Bio:

If there's anything I've forgotten, let me know.
---------------
Name: Noble
Allegiance: Neutral/Both
Function: Warrior
Physical Appearance: A winged (going by the figure) bipedal wolf with dark blue fur.
Bio: Resurrected by the Predacon scientist Cryotek to try and infiltrate the Maximal headquaters, Noble couldn't go against Nightscream's friendship and has stayed there since. His Spark, damaged during the fusion with Megatron during the Beast Machines era, is rebuilding itself, along with his intelligence. He still has problems controlling his rage and has been known to destroy parts of the base through his attacks, creating major setbacks for any Maximal activity.

Name: Cryotek
Allegiance: Predacon
Function: Unknown
Physical Appearance: Large blue dragon, made in the image of TMII Megatron.
Bio: (Bear in mind I've never managed to get my hands on a Wreckers comic) Evil, twisted and very powerful. Very important element to the Predacon forces. Generally answers to no-one but himself, he enjoys torturing Maximal victims.

Enjoy! I hope the rules aren't too confusing.

Name: Hot Rod
Allegiance:Auto Bot
Function: warrior
Physical Appearance: he looks like a red hot rod, robot form-red has two lil guns on his arms.
Bio:Hot Rod is the all-American-boy Autobot. Not too sweet, not too sharp, not too snotty... not a goodie-goodie, but basically a typical adolescent who has dreams of doing great stuff and being as heroic and important as Optimus Prime and other famous and revered top Autobots. He tends to follow rules until they bug him - and he sometimes learns, to his regret, that disobeying wasn't exactly smart. And he often acts without thinking in an effort to do the right thing - and this gets him and sometimes his friends in trouble. But he's not afraid when trouble does arrive and is a brave and honorable fighter and friend. He is especially close to Kup, the grizzled old mentor of an Autobot, although he sometimes resents hearing "wisdom." And he likes Daniel, the Earth kid, a lot. (In a way, Hot Rod is big brother to Daniel - a role model - and Hot Rod knows it and takes the responsibility seriously.) In robot or automotive mode, Hot Rod is sometimes hot-headed, but always a well-meaning, admirable "lad" and popular with all who know him.

Name:Inferno
Allegiance:Predacons
Function: warrior-wee bit insane too
Physical Appearance:a red fireant, when he reforms to robot he looks kinda like a freak red fireant
Bio:Inferno was once a maximal. However, due to a corrupted file and the predacons he beacame one of them.Insane but loyal. He was Megatron's undercommander and was the defenition of loyal, loyal without question or thought. He fought for the cause and helped nearly destroy Optimus Prime which would have caused his own destruction as well. He died at the hands of his master in a suited fiery blaze.

Thanks for siging up, df! Um... would it be okay to have a little info on how they got here- Beast Machines is after Beast Wars, so we'll need to know how Hot Rod got here and why Inferno isn't dead. Just a little thing to keep continuity.

On another note: I don't mind how many people sign up, but I think sixteen characters should be the maximum. Providing everyone can keep track it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
