Savage Beast Wars

VERY important update:

I've identified and contacted the artist responsible for the image of Einhorn; it's a privilege to have the consent of NickOnPlanetRipple (https://www.deviantart.com/nickonplanetripple) to continue using their work, provided they're credited for it! Those who don't have proper transformed artwork, I would encourage you to consider commissioning them!

I'll be working up some NPC's over the weekend, so do please hold off on borrowing anymore if their work, as I've bookmarked the one's I'm looking to use for antagonists- I also aim to commission them for some characters unique to this RP!

Update: I'm going to edit the opening to include the detail that the original Leader of the mission was quickly overwhelmed and executed (rather than coerced into surrendering the vessel or otherwise being made to be useful because being subtle is against the rules when playing "Find the Starscream").

I'm liking the group dynamic that's unfolding, so far, it's pretty helpful for characterizing the contrast between the two sides!

@BenG85

Update made! I'm starting to get a feel for this setting, and future posts from me should be better!

Savage Beast Wars

lol, oddly enough nobody has stepped up, perhaps they got scrapped in the beginning of the hostile takeover (translation: Yeah I didn't think about that >_>U)

An unknown bot on the outside issued orders to the other seditious individuals, in a voice somewhere between gravelly and shrill, "I am your leader, and I order you to get this Primus forsaken door open!"

Another, presumably the one he was addressing, responded in something that sounded like dial-up, and got to work. A panel got torn open, wires got pulled and spliced, and the hacker worked furiously at the console panel next to the door. It made more noise over it's shoulder, prompting the first to screech,

"What!? Focus, you fool! We'll prevent a distress signal by seizing this vessel for the glory of Megatron; just get the door open! The rest of you, put your axles into it! We're not asking politely!!"

Savage Beast Wars

Haha, now that is a detail I intentionally left out! You'll find out what's happening when it happens, No spoilers :P

@Stern Algorithm important note: you haven't approached any planet yet, the first leg of the mission was the last known coordinates of the lost vessels. The attempted mutiny is the only thing going on, atm- although, if you want to be furiously working at your console, I can edit so that one of the ne'er do wells is trying to hack the doors open from a panel on the other side?

Hint: If push comes to shove, Septishock will threaten to sabotage the ship's controls, jeopardizing all their lives. An extreme version of "If you don't stop fighting, I will turn this car around".

@Stern Algorithm

I dunno, that gives me more "Otto on a bad day" vibes

Savage Beast Wars

Has the ship landed, or are we still in space?

@Stern Algorithm

You're still in space, the crash hasn't happened yet. I guess I should edit to make that more clear, but y'all are meant ot play through the event that gets you stranded

Savage Beast Wars

alright, I've gotten the first post up, it's brief, but dropping you all right into the action!

As for NPC antagonists, I've found some great images to build characters around, and I've messaged the creator to see about using those images as long as I credit them properly (your artist has a nice portfolio, @Duthguy!
