[center][i]We had no choice, Cybertron had fallen due to Megatron corrupting the core with Dark Energon. So after a heavy struggle and with the help of Metroplex and Grimlock we were able to leave Cybertron in the Ark. However during our flight Megatron decided to pay us a last visit, something we both ended regretting. I dont remember what happened in the end, both ships went though the portal and crashed on a unidentified planet. This is where we stayed in a deep stasis lock for I don't know how long before waking up. There was no sight of Megatron's army or ship but I fear they are on this planet as well. All I know is.. [b]The war is not over.[/b][/i][/center] Welcome to our Transformers RP. This RP will be a new universe made so that even those with no knowledge or little knowledge of the Transformer world can join, if anyone has questions they can ask one of the 3 GM's: [list][*]Drake Baku (myself) is founding GM.[/*] [*]Navy_Vet and Revans Exile[/*][/list] --- [center]The story[/center] --- [indent]The story will be simple at first: we all start as Autobots, waking from the stasis and soon after Teletran-1 (the ship's AI) will warn the bots of a ship that just crashed (where I will make my character's entrance). We will likely begin a little slow so we can build up characters and get to know each other and get into the main events. Once we got enough members to get a decent amount of Autobots we can start working for those interested in playing as a Decepticon as well. just as with ,many Transformer series we will be at war between the 2 sides over the Energon (basically the fuel for Transformers) of the planet Earth. But there will be some twists and added plots, such as the introduction of Terratron (will come back to this later on) The story for those that know of it will hold a few small connections with existing bits, but nothing too extreme, it will play after the games: War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron for some background story, but its not needed to have played them, it will only help but there are ways to get around not knowing anything at all in this RP (will come back to this further on) Also for some ancient past I will use some history of the Prime series, but only that of Primus (becoming Cybertron's core) and the original Primes defeating Unicron. Also not needed to know of these as even in the Prime show It seemed like not all Autobots knew of this past/ legend.[/indent] --- [center]Characters[/center] --- [indent]You can play as an existing bot, trough please try and stay as much in character of that one as possible if you do. BUT you can also make your own. if you have limited or no knowledge of the games you can just say you were in statis during or have been a simple soldier meaning you fought but were not in any way important for the plot, so you wont have to know anything about it (actually you dont have to say anything about this as you can just never talk about it) If you have limited or no knowledge of the Series all together, you can say you are from a outer colony or were in stasis/ never was started before and play as a blank slate as far as the background and other go, meaning that your char can ask questions you have IRL as your char might not even know of it as well (otherwise said, your char and you have the same knwledge level about it all, giving a logical reason and easy way to play if you dont know something) You are allowed to play multiple characters as long as you can handle it, though I would advice to keep it low at the beginning, like 1 or 2 if your interested in making a char for the other fractions as well as they become available. [list][*]Autobots shall be the only thing playable at first.[/*] [*]Decepticons will be unlocked as we gain more people to support both sides.[/*] [*]Dinobots do exist already -- but there can only be so many. The amount of dinobots grows with the autobots numbers, so contact a GM first.[/*] [*]Insecticons will have similar rules like the Dinobots -- please ask before making one.[/*] [/list][/indent] --- [center]The Universe[/center] --- [indent]In this Universe I will include a self made Transformer planet called Terratron. This planet is founded after Cybertron resulting that No Autobot or Decepticon know of its existence. The inhabitance are the Venoloid (who will be on the Decepticon's side) and the Dracotron's (who will be on the Autobot side). I hate to say it but due to having to build up the Autobots first and for story plot reasons using either will be locked. However there are 2 points where a option to play as a Terratronium can be added. One is a single pre-made character of Dracotron (this is optional as I can also play as her, but if someone would find it interesting... see can be given to that player but sadly it will be after a few smaller events that this can be done). The second is when the entire Terratronium line gets opened to be used in public, this is a plot I have planned so this will take some time, sorry.[/indent] --- [center]The Plot[/center] --- [indent]For the Plot: there will be some smaller plots but as the name shows, the Autobots aim will be to find a way to save cybertron and the Decepticons to simply rule over all they can find and destroy the Autobots (what is kinda ironic since if they had let the Autobots leave Cybertron and not followed them, they would have had Cybertron all for them self for Megatron to rule and make what it was supposed to be (in his vision), but nooo, he had his pride forced him to follow the Autobots, prevent them from leaving just so he can try and kill Optimus, resulting that no one had Cybertron and both crash on Earth to follow up with the war... which is something I can see in this RP happening all over again, following the Autobots wherever they go...) From these aim's a lot of plot settings can happen, meaning then even if we finish one plot story there are more on the horizon to follow. People that want to suggest plots are free to do so (though PM), I will try and include all of them (though it kinda depends on the plot itself as I fear not all of them can be used, but I will try) ---------- Finally here, the CS: [hider=CS Transformers] -Name: -Fraction: (Currently only Autobots allowed, when enough players play a Autobot a Dinobot slot can open for use as well) -Age: (Optional: In general for those that are playing with a char that has only recently came online, so they wont know all the details yet, players with knowledge can use this as well to say if they were active during one of the provided back ground story's or if he was even active before the back ground storys during or even before the war started) (newly activated ones come from blank protoforms) -Type/ Position: (such as scout, warrior, scientist (with a sub class such as Medic, A weapon crafter (in charge of small scale equipment making and fixing), a Builder (in charge of large machines and robots (meaning the preforms), researcher)) -Alternate mode: (what kind of vehicle do you turn into) -Appearance: -Personality: -Weapon types: (you can name simple earth names or have fun at the transformers wiki) -special ability: (optional: some transformers have a special power, such as Cliffjumper having a invis cloak, Jazz has a grappling hook, Soundwave has video tape like things that turn into mini robots as lazerbeak and rumble) -History: (optional) [/hider] Missing anything, say something so i can improve the CS. newer Intel: I wont make a fuss about the Vehicles, some people might say autobots are generally this and decepticons that, but I say your free to use any vehicle you want, I guess it will even the odds a little on both sides once we get that far. I will give a little data on each side for reference material that can be used if you want to use it though, but no one is bound by it. [hider=fraction lists and details] [i][b]Cybertoniums[/i][/b] -Autobots tend to be car type vehicles, few jets and interestingly have had trains in the past, they fight for freedom and seem to have more scouts and scientist types, their leader is normally chosen by Cybertron's core (aka Primus) by giving the new leader a matrix and the title Prime (the Matrix possess the collective knowledge of all primes), Due to the Core being shut down and the bots being on Earth, no new Prime can come from Cybertron until we get Cybertron running once more, though this possess the issues of clearing out the dark energon of its systems and supplying it with new clean energon... -Decepticons tend to be airborn vehicles such as jets as that their ground type seem to be fast vehicles that fit the name decepticons as they had Barricade who took a cop car guise, a bad guy in a good guy coat, but they also possess tanks as they have a lot of warriors, a few scientists BUT the ones they do have are freaking brilliant (look at Shockwave) and fight due to being loyal to megatron who wants to take over and rule, as he had some idea of how cybertron had to be and how it once was and wants to bring those thoughts into reality, The leader has always been Megatron as he had build the fraction, it can only be changed if Megatron gets killed (or temporally taken out), the new leader is the current second in command (until megatron can return somehow) -Dinobots as the name say's their alternate shape is a dinosaur type, they tend to be powerful yet lacking in brain power and side with the Autobots, their personal leader is the strongest one, why they fight for the autobots is unknown, all that is known is that they have always chosen for the autobots, they are rare however. -Insecticons as the name say's transform into bugs, they are in large numbers and can be strong but 99% of their members have no sentient mind and the ones that do are not smart, all listen to Megetron but those that are sentient and bug type can also command the troops by the hive mind link (splitting that section into a side army loyal to that leader) [i][b]Terratronuims[/i][/b] -Dracotron are Terratroniums and possess a standard of 3 alternate shapes, the robot shape, the main alternate shape (being a beast mode (though they still look robotic) and a vehicle mode (that has as many traits of the beast mode as their robot mode keeps), they dont have the ability to take on a different shape such as a earth based vehicle and though they possess 3 modes, they are not any stronger then a autobot of similar stature and will side with the autobots as they have similar view points and in their personal war are in a similar situation, their leaders are also primes but gain their stature differently, they are build as a prime candidate and need to earn their stature, what tend to be pretty rare, they are stronger compared to the normal trons and until becoming a prime are called a Pure, the beast modes can be of any type, even mythical animals like a cerberus, a dragon or phoenix. -Venoloids are terratroniums and possess a standard of 3 alternate shapes, the robot shape, the main alternate shape (being a beast mode (though still robotic) and a vehicle mode (that has as many traits of the beast mode as their robot mode has), they cant take on a different shape as a earth vehicle and would never even consider it, they are not stronger then a decepticon of the same stature and possess a lot of warriors (soldiers as they call them), they side with the decepticons only cause the Dracotrons joined the autobots, their leaders are religious members on Terratron and give titles of generals to soldiers to lead on the field, their reason for their war is to enfoce their thoughts on the Dracotrons, even if they dont come to their religious side, they should live under the same rules at least, you can short their name to Loids) -Nightmech's: their data is currently hidden and comes available as the storys go's and explains. [i][b]Colonies[/i][/b] Colonies are cybertroniums who at one point or an other started to live on other locations, they are part of cybertron and possess either autobots or decepticons, all colonies are allowed to be custom made for those wanting to use them, once a few exist people can also pick those colonies, granted that depending on the colonie and the age level of the bot/ con those that come form the same might know each other. - [/hider] Sorry I know its a lot, but i cant add a hider in a hider... [b]Important to know[/b] -if you want to play with a dino bot or insecticon, there need to be enough members of the fitted side to open 1 slot, meaning only once we have enough autobots can I open 1 slot for dinobots, I currently think 1 for every 5, BUT this can be changed depending on. -Dino bots are not all that smart but strong, insecticons have the same issue but both are less, meaning they are a little smarter then dinobots but also miss some of the fitted strength, also DInobots are rare and insecticons are vast numbers BUT only a few are actually sentient, for this both have the slot requirement -wanting to play with an either first you need to ask premission in order to prevent multiple people from sending in a CS while there is just 1 slot, first comes first serves unless there comes a reason to decline. -Autobots and decepticons can also have tripple changers but these are said to be elite members and pretty rare, for this reason you have to ask first if you can have a tripple changer (only the terratroniums are free tripple changers but will be unlocked later) -tripple changers can be of all cybertronium types, even dinobots or insecticons, the second shape for those 2 can be both a vehicle or an other animal of the same grouping (a bug or dino for the insecticon and dinobot receptively), autobots and decepticons can have any vehicle or other type, I can see an animal change though the fingers if first asked and granting it a good back ground for it to have an animal one, but in general they shoud be able to change into a other vehicle, with the other type I mean stuff like guns, machines and so --when taking an other, though its not like you have to but I do ask if the other class can be reflected or is reflected from the type and also limit its elite class depending on its uses. --all elite class would have an ability if I missed anything or you want to add something, feel free to say so I am always open for suggestions and tips ^^ [b]Autobots Roll In![/b][/indent]
