Player Alias: Jaxrond
Character Name: First Aid
Allegiance: Autobots
Appearance Description:
Alt. Mode:
Personality:
Practical - Considerate - Protective - Efficient - Kind - Compassionate - Brave - Observant - Confident - Loyal
First Aid is an easily likable bot. As a medic, he’s good at what he does, picking up on new methods and improving himself constantly. As a person, he demonstrates a certain practicality that makes him good to have around in many different situations. One of First Aid’s greatest strengths, beyond his impressive medical capabilities, is his ability to comfortably handle being around many different individuals at once. People don’t bother him, even in a crisis situation, and he’s quite socially adept. This may come with his being part of a gestalt team, or, it might just be him. Whatever the case, he’s proven quite good at handling himself even when others are panicking, or when taken by surprise.
Compassionate to a fault, First Aid is well-known for his willingness to help others, even to the point of causing himself harm. Whether it’s using the energy of his own spark to revive another in a dangerous procedure or crossing a battlefield, the needs of others always come before his own. This has gotten him into trouble a few times, but, thus far, he’s come out with only a few scrapes and dings. His compassion is not limited only to Autobots. First Aid has been known to aid the occasional Decepticon as well, which has sparked some difficult discussions between him and his fellows. However, they know that he would never betray them, as he often condemns the actions of the Decepticons, and his loyalty to his friends is beyond a doubt.
As a medic, First Aid is a very practical individual. This often shows itself in the form of wisdom in his handling of various situations. He’s calmly observant, and that, too, is helpful to him. He understands how people work, not just on the physical level, and is able to act accordingly. It also allows him to give very sound advice, which is sometimes not to the liking of the person he’s giving it to. In this way, he shows a great amount of maturity. Of his gestalt brothers, First Aid is the most compassionate, yes, but often acts as a voice of reason among them. In turn, they, too, help balance him. And keep him from charging headfirst into battle in an attempt to be of help.
Strengths:
Keep Calm: First Aid is a master of keeping calm in stressful situations. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t display his emotions, but, he never panics, no matter how bad things may seem.
Five Are Stronger than One: The Protectobots are a tightly-knit group who rely heavily upon one another. They are a constant source of safety, support, and familial love for each member, First Aid included.
Speed: While not a speedster like the twins or Bumblebee, First Aid is capable of getting somewhere fast. This is necessary for emergency situations.
Always Prepared: At all times, First Aid carries the equipment necessary for the successful patching of an injured bot or, in the worst case, stabilization for transport.
Weaknesses:
Non-Combatant: Though able to fight, First Aid is not a combatant. He acts mainly in a support role. If he encounters trouble, it will be necessary for him to have backup.
Teamless: At the present time, First Aid is the only Protectobot on Earth. Without the full team present, Defensor cannot be created. The absence of his brothers also puts First Aid at a disadvantage psychologically, since he’s used to them being at his back at every turn. After vorns of having them near, he feels unbalanced without them now.
Fatal Flaw: First Aid’s loyalty and compassion could easily be used against him by someone smart enough to do so.
Abilities:
Medic: As a medic, First Aid has an invaluable skill set. Though young, he has demonstrated a distinct aptitude for medicine, ranging a wide gamut. Some have even compared him to Ratchet on occasion, though he lacks the elder’s skill and experience.
Combiner: When with his gestalt team, First Aid is capable of joining with them to form Defensor. He serves as Defensor’s left arm. As a part of the team, he is also privy to the ‘gestalt bond’ that connects them telepathically.
Wreckers Fanboy: As a longtime fan of the Wreckers, First Aid has an inordinate number of useless factoids stored in his head. If the Wreckers were involved in something, he knows where, when, and how. He is definitely a bot to talk to if one is interested in the subject.
Weaponry:
Generic Energon Blaster: First Aid is a medic, not a full-time combatant. As such, his weapons are designed for his own defense and that of his patients. His blasters could do serious damage to light armor, minor damage to medium armor, and minimal to heavy.
Energon Scalpel: As a field medic, this blade is used primarily for surgical purposes. But, when push comes to shove and he has an opening, it can be deadly in close quarters.
Medic’s Knowledge: First Aid intimately knows the ins and outs of Cybertronian anatomy and physiology. That means, he’s attuned to all the little weak points. He’s compassionate and kind and would never want to put it to any use than to help others, but, sometimes, on the battlefield, he can’t help it. The knowledge is there and usable, whether he likes it or not.
History: (*note: this character history has been written with aspects of the IDW comics and Prime continuities in mind)
First Aid was forged before the war, one of the last to have been so. As a young bot, he showed interest in the field of medicine, but, his interest turned into a necessary driving force when war broke out. Fortunately, he had a knack for it, and he was assigned to a rescue and relief team early on in the war. As the fighting continued, the team, consisting of First Aid, Groove, Streetwise, Hot Spot, and Blades, would become known as the Protectobots because of their willingness to put themselves on the line to protect those they worked to help.
At some point before the fall of Cybertron, the Protectobots were captured by a group of Decepticon scientists who were working on creating a combiner that would prove to be more functional than the original, Monstructor. They already had their Decepticon test subjects, the Combaticons, lined up for experimentation, but, had opted to experiment first on Autobot prisoners. The Protectobots were targeted because of their famous teamwork and empathy for others.
Though exceedingly painful, the experiment was a success, and Defensor was created for the first time. What the scientists did not account for was just how quickly the new gestalt team would begin functioning together. As soon as Defensor was online and had taken a moment to settle into his new state of being, he went on the offensive, easily breaking free from their unprepared captors. He became one of the Autobots’ greatest weapons, though the Decepitcons’ Menasor soon rose to challenge him.
First Aid functioned as a part of Defensor for a long while, until he began his medical training in earnest. The Aerialbots had successfully formed Superion and it was determined that the Protectobots’ individual skills needed to be honed. As such, First Aid trained under Ratchet’s supervision for a time before being shipped out to Delphi in order to study under Pharma and gain further experience in a base that saw a constant flow of patients. He served there for a short while under Pharma’s supervision before being recalled to join his gestalt team again.
First Aid, as part of Defensor, played a major role in the Exodus from Cybertron. He and his fellows protected numerous shipments of both cargo and Autobots alike before finally leaving Cybertron themselves. Their departure was a difficult one, since the Decepticons were leery of allowing the Protectobots to escape together. As such, they became separated during the Exodus. First Aid was aboard a relief shuttle, serving as a medic, when he lost contact with the others in his gestalt team. The shuttle itself was separated from the Autobot flagship, the Ark, during its flight through the space bridge and sailed into a barely-charted part of space.
As time passed, various ‘bots departed, whether alone or with others. Some were even picked up by friends and teammates. First Aid inquired after his brothers, but, no one had heard from them. It wasn’t until he was the last bot aboard the ship that it drifted within range of Earth and he picked up an Autobot transmission signal. Knowing that he would do more good with whoever was out there, rather than waiting for patients that may never come, First Aid left the relief shuttle behind, taking one of the landing pods, and set off toward Earth.
Roleplay/Writing Sample:
The incessant beeping was a continuous reminder of his failure to account for gravitational pull. Red flashed across his paint at intervals, turning him monocolored every few moments. It had already been too late when he realized he was being pulled down faster than anticipated. He was doing all he could, but, at the moment, it felt as though the shuttle’s thrusters were firing with no real chance of stopping. Maybe if an ace pilot, like one of the Aerialbots, was the one flying he’d have a better chance. But, he wasn’t a flier, he just knew the basics of piloting.
Tense but thinking clearly, he dared to lift a hand from the controls long enough to open a channel. He was savvy enough to know it was a gamble, but, he couldn’t afford to crash, and potentially be damaged, without contacting anyone.
“This is First Aid. I’m coming in fast. Requesting evac.”
How often had he said that last line? How often had the reply been ‘hold on’ when there was no time to do so? Would that be what happened this time? Or, worse, would this finally be the instance when the Decepticons got to him first. He hoped not, and not just for his own sake. His death would devastate his brothers, and the Autobots could certainly use Defensor.
“Coordinates are as follows,” he listed them, keeping his optics focused on the vis screen ahead.
Now to hope that the ‘Bots got there first.
