Player Alias: TowerLight
Character Name: Slog
Allegiance: Decepticon
Appearance Description: Slog is a predominantly black bot with a tall blocky frame. His face is comprised of a purple visor and a golden faceplate underneath while his torso and lower legs are that same gold. The rest of his body is done in black.
His monster form is hunched over, almost half the height of his robot mode but makes up for it in length, his nightmarish gold monster head sticking out forward. His arms are replaced with long, sharp pincers.
Personality: Slog is a cultured and sophisticated bot, unusually so for a Decepticon. This is because he isn't much of a fighter, originally an artist who was to create great works displaying the victories of the great Decepticon Empire. While others would create large tapestries showing Megatron's power or erecting statues of the mighty Devastator Slog instead decided to take the bodies of fallen Autobots and Decepticons and grotesquely turning them into art. Despite the horrific nature of this "Slogism Art" he is rather non-chalant about it, treating it just as any other form of art.
Strengths + Weaknesses: Slog isn't the greatest fighter of the Decepticon army but can hold his own in a fight, thanks to the mobility and deadly pincers of his beast mode. As well as that he is a pretender and his shell can move around him to make him bigger, badder and a much stronger fighter. Despite all this Slog still isn't a trained fighter and probably won't be knocking Computron on his aft any time soon. As well as that his Pretender mode is much slower than his regular form and makes him a bigger target.
Abilities: Slog is a Pretender, and can wrap it around himself to become a powerful Pretender Monster. In this monstrous form Slog is better suited for combat, his claws are able to pierce most armours with ease and can even rip some weaker Transformers limb from limb if given the opportunity. The Pretender suit also protects Slog from all but the deadliest of attacks, although fatal damage to the suit will cause it to explode which will definitely hurt Slog if he doesn't or can't get out of it in time. When out of his pretender suit Slog can use magnetic abilities similar to Windcharger's, which he uses to rip enemies apart or pose them for his art projects.
Weaponry: Slog carries a standard issue Plasma Rifle in bot mode and his arms turn into a pair of pincers in monster mode. His pretender shell has stronger armour-piercing pincers.
History: Slog was recruited into the Decepticons not as a soldier but as an artist, who would create great pieces showing the power and might of the Deception Empire however, an internal error caused him to be deployed onto the front line, and for a very confused K-Type to end up in an artist studio. Forced to fight against Autobots to survive Slog found that he had a knack for it, and that their bodies made for a great medium. Slog devoted himself to this new artform he named after himself and soon had his body upgraded for combat, his alt mode reformatted and even opted into the Pretender Program, being granted a shell for his troubles.
Roleplay/Writing Sample: The Vehicon trudged down the hall, carrying a tray with an energon cube on it for the artist Slog, he himself had not really seen his art but knew some fellow troops who were head over heels for it. Maybe he’d see some of his pieces while he was there and understand the appeal. As he walks into the studio he hears a voice echo out from the main room. “Leave it out in the hall, then come in!” The Vehicon does as such, not sure what to expect.
The Vehicon stopped dead in his tracks when he walked in. There were 12 corpses, stood upright and posed with bits of scrap strapped onto them making up armour. Slog himself was working on one in the center, attaching a cannon to his arm. “Ah, hello! Tell me, what do you see? I wanna make sure it’s clear what this represents.” He casually moves over to the side of the shaking Vehicon. “C...corpses…” He sputters out, causing a sigh from Slog. “Ah, you must be new to Slogism. Yes they’re corpses, Autobot and Decepticon. But what do you see?” As the Vehicon gets over the initial shock of the nature of the art he does begin to recognize it. “Thats..Megatronus right?” He guesses, much to Slog’s delight. “Yes! It’s the betrayal of Prima and the birth of The Fallen! There’s Megatronus, Prima, Solus Prime, Micronus…”
“Where’s Liege?” The Vehicon enquires. Slog stops. “Huh. I must’ve forgotten to get a body for him.” He turns to the Vehicon in such a way that strikes a deep fear into him. Before the Vehicon can run Slog transforms into his monster form and snarls as he slices into his back, knocking him over. The Vehicon turns over and aims with his blaster. Before he can fire at Slog he has wrapped himself in his Pretender Shell, the plasma strike bouncing off of it. He pins the Vehicon to the wall by his head and decapitates him. He quickly dissects the bot, removing his Transformation Cog and fading spark and throwing them aside before removing his Pretender Shell. His hands seem to vibrate as his magnetic powers move the body into position, posing all of his limbs. The Monster Pretender lodges a device into the cavity where his spark was that locks the body into position. Slog then grabs a head he had carved and modified into the shape of Liege Maximo, horns and all and attaches it to the neck of the dead Vehicon. He stands back and looks around, admiring his work. His eyes settle on an empty spot. “Ah. I forgot Quintus as well. Slag...I guess I’ll need to get a second opinion…” Slog sits at his workbench, sipping on the energon cube he was brought while the last of the Energon in the Vehicon’s body dripped below him.
