Player Alias: Thundercat
Character Name: Strafe
Allegiance: Autobots
Appearance Description:
Due to some experimentation, Strafe does have some physical changes than those of the image above. Her optics are now an amber color and feral looking, claw-tipped fingers, and elongated canines protruding from her upper lip.
Personality: Strafe is a femme who is straight forward and boisterous, being the type of person that is vocal about her thoughts and isn't afraid to be blunt when she has to be. She will sugar coat things if necessary, but for the most part she isn't afraid to express her emotions. Despite this, Strafe is also a compassionate and stubborn individual, expressing a caring maternal side that has made her quite fitting to be a professor and leader. But she also has a will of iron and is difficult to dissuade from a choice she's made or learn secrets from.
Though generally considered compassionate, Strafe has a no nonsense attitude and can be fierce when she must be. Her home, her people, and her students come first among everything else, in which case she will express an overprotective side and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty when she must. She'll make the hard calls and confront someone without hesitation, putting her own life on the line and taking risks that can come off as extremely reckless. In this regard, Strafe's deep sense of justice and loyalty are some of her most defining traits aside from her caring teacher side.
But due to her encounter with the Forged and Shockwave's experimentation, Strafe has taken on a feral, ferocious persona on top of all this. As a Dinobot, Strafe has a short temper and is more easily irritable than normal, somewhat amplifying the fierceness she already showed. She will have a tendency to change her personality on a dime, sometimes to the point of becoming a mindless, rampaging beast that she must keep in check.
Strengths:
+Dinobot Power: Since undergoing a similar experimental process like that of the Forged via Shockwave’s constant unethical experiments, Strafe has become incredibly strong and durable than a normal Cybertronian, more so than she already was. She can take as much punishment as she can dish out and makes great use of her new found primal ferocity at her disposal, turning what could have been a curse into an unexpected advantage. She also has a bit more added natural weaponry to her already impressive melee capabilities.
+Strong Will: Despite the trauma she has gone through recently, Strafe has a will that is unbreakable and unrelenting. No matter what pressures she’s put under or what torture she must endure, she is never one to break in spirit and will never divulge secrets or personal matters. Good luck persuading her with even the most lighthearted of methods, she will never budge.
+Triple Changer status: As if becoming a Dinobot wasn’t enough, Strafe ensured additional change in her body being able to take on a monstrous, twin-headed dino form and her hover-truck mode she has always had. This makes her somewhat versatile to have low altitude flying capabilities and traverse most rough terrains.
+Melee Specialist: Before becoming a professor and part of the Forgefire Parliament, Strafe spent quite a bit of her younger years among Caminus’ enforcers. She has been trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat and melee weaponry, making great use of her larger, bulkier build and somewhat intimidating air to her advantage before she pursued other career paths.
Weaknesses:
+Feral Nature: Though she has turned being a Dinobot into an advantage, such a classification has left her with a major side effect. She cannot always control the feral nature inside and is more suspceptible to fury and irritation than she once was. Sometimes, she can become upset or angered enough to trigger an involuntary, painful transformation into her monstrous state to which she can go on a rampage and will be blind to friend or foe. And most times she may forget how powerful her form can be when she gets worked up.
+Large Size: Compared to most femmes, Strafe is a large girl and therefore lacks in the agility and speed department. She is somewhat maneuverable for her size, but not relies heavily on her strength, endurance, and durability during a battle and is better for a heavy hitter than anything else.
+Stubbornness: Though strong willed, there is no denying that Strafe can be incredibly stubborn. Her head-strong, boisterious attitude has been known to get her into trouble or make enemies and few take her bluntness with open minds. This stubbornness can even translate to recklessness that seems rather unbecoming of a Parliment member.
+Weapon Limitations: Being that Strafe prefers melee and hand-to-hand combat, her use of weaponry is quite limited to fit this style. She rarely uses ranged weapons, having her plasma cannons out of necessity rather than her own choosing. This makes her more vulnerable to attacks from a distance or she tends to favor that of her fire breath instead.
Abilities:
+Dinobot Fire breath: Though not exactly a Dinobot standard for everyone, Strafe’s monstrous appearance has granted her the ability to breathe fire from two nozzles, one in each mouth. These flames can reach up to twenty feet and are hot enough to melt a few layers of Cybertronian armor if exposed for too long.
+Heightened Senses: Being that she is part Dinobot, Strafe’s senses have been enhanced to a certain degree in terms of her hearing and sense of smell. Her hearing is acute enough to pick up some frequencies others cannot and hear sounds from half a mile away. Her sense of smell is particularly strong in that she can track a scent trail days old so long as it has not been tampered with.
+Triple Changer: After leaving Caminus, Strafe was the unfortunate victim to one of Shockwave’s many experimentations. She was the lucky contestant chosen to become part of his Forged, given not only the capability to become a two-headed dinosaur-like creature but also retain her normal appearance and vehicle mode. Though she survived, the transformation is painful and has left her with a few visible and mental scars, and one cannot exactly see the extent of this change unless she transforms. The only signs something is different is her pointier fingers, elongated fangs protruding from her lips, and feral looking optics.
Weaponry:
+Electric Prod Staff: Used in both robot mode and vehicle mode, Strafe is equipped with a dual-sided staff with two electrical prods on either side. As long as her own body and exceptionally durable, this is Strafe's main weapon and is retractable to where she can holster at her side.
+Polearms (x2): Mounted on her back, Strafe uses two pole arms resembling bardiche-styled Earth polearms that are slightly longer than her arms. The handles resemble Strafe's color scheme with light silver blades and can be combined to create a dual-sided axe.
+Arm-mounted Plasma Cannon: Stowed away in her arms, Strafe contains two cannons that fire concentrated plasma energy in concussive blasts that also scorch or melt armor. She can alter firing them in concentrated plasma spheres or beams.
History:
Strafe is a native to Caminus, having never once dreamed she would ever leave her home world.
During her function, Strafe has been involved with much of Caminus' society and government since she could remember. For much of her younger life she was involved with Caminus' police force, working her way up in the ranks to deputy and at some point befriending fellow Forgefire Parliament member known as "Red leader". At their suggestion, she eventually left the force to focus on a new topic. Joining one of Caminus' universities, she went on to study Political Science and Law and eventually became a professor herself while also acting as a combat instructor.
But, being the ambitious individual that she was Strafe's career eventually brought her to joining the Forgefire Parliament, working closely with the Mistress of Flame, Cityspeakers, and their body guards, many of whom she also trained personally. Being on the Parliament, Strafe has spent much time seeing changes and alterations of the years for her home, being a witness to the more recent change in interest among the Camien youth to see what is beyond their home. Though concerned of granting permission for voyages outside their boundaries, the yellow femme reluctantly granted it, watching as a small group left Caminus over time.
A decision she soon became concerned about when there was little to no contact with those who had left.
After many years of no word, Strafe personally decided to take a voyage off Caminus to find them, arranging for someone to temporarily take her place before she left. Unbeknownst to Strafe, her voyage was about to take a dark turn. When she came across a ship belonging to the Forged, her attempts to seek some aid ended up with her capture, seen as perfect test subject for their master, Shockwave. Having been knocked out, Strafe next found herself in a cell on Cybertron in one of Shockwave's main labs, having a front row seat to the gorefest that involved his experiments.
Despite her demands to be released, the one-eyed mech and his underlings ignored her but her fighting spirit and fierceness was enough to make her a candidate to his experiments. Some years passed as Strafe remained a prisoner of Shockwave, undergoing painful and horrendous torture and alterations to her form, much like what was done to the Dinobots. Overtime, Strafe could only patiently await an opportunity to free herself as few individuals were left to oppose Shockwave and his Forged. But patience is a virtue, and hers paid off when it was decided she would be put to the test when the mad scientist was satisfied with her progress.
Golden opportunity given, Strafe turned her misery into an advantage, unleashing her built up fury and rage on her opponent and the small arena they had been released into. Shocked by the sudden attack, Strafe tore through some of the Forged's weaker members and the arena, tearing herself free of her tormentors and continuing to rampage through part of the lab until she reached freedom. Barely maintaining some sense of awareness, Strafe forced herself to transform back to robot mode and take off in the chaos, being forced to dodge around in a world she was not familiar with until she could procure a ship.
Salvaging what she could of the old vessel, Strafe finally escaped her personal hell to travel across the stars. By chance, the former Parliament member has found her way to Earth and has recently landed seeking to find refuge and regain her bearings.
Strafe silently followed the direction of the guards, the three individuals guiding her towards a hall she wasn't familiar with. Despite her silence she glared at Shockwave's goons with seething rage, wishing she could kill them with just a glance. If only. She was shooting daggers, feeling the burning desire to tear each one apart slowly and painfully as possible if not for the shackles that prevented her from doing so. Or the locking mechanism preventing her from transforming at all.
"Open the doors." The voice of the guard in front of them caused Strafe to perk up slightly.
They had arrived to a large door, which soon began to screech open making the burly femme tense slightly in preparation to what was coming next. When the door was opened the guards forced Strafe to follow, finding herself dragged into a miniature arena and casting her gaze around. The arena seemed to be strong at first glance, but the architecture looked flimsy at best for someone with her secondary form. Maybe she could use that...
Brought back to attention, Strafe growled as her shackles were removed and the mechanism preventing her from transforming, shoving her forward roughly and nearly causing her to fall face first. Door slamming closed behind her to prevent her from escaping, Strafe for a moment was left on her own, turning on the spot waiting for what was to come next. Her attention was soon brought towards the opposite side of the arena, eyeing the door as she heard hissing and furious clicking.
Emerging from the hallway, barely restrained by other guards was a modified Insection, almost unrecognizable for those who had ever seen them. The creature caught sight of Strafe, seeing the feral hunger in its eyes, straining against its restraints to get towards her. "Battle for the death huh? Sounds fine to me!" She snarled as she painfully transformed to her monstrous beast mode, snarling as she prepared to face her opponent.
