I'm bored - let's create a Fan Fic with Fan Characters!

I'm still sticking with Animated. Its open-ended, and has yet to really touch on the rest of the Autobot society.

The new Trans Tech stories could be good...but I just don't like the the idea of all the continuities mixed together. Just doesn't seem right.

Reviving an old character of mine with a twist on Animated.

Betatron
Decepticon General
Alt mode: heavily armored tank with pulse cannon (think Galvatron's cannon)

Betatron earned his rank of Decepticon General due in part to his leadership skills on the battlefield. Megatron himself once praised Betatron's quick thinking and overall military abilities in conquering large Autobot forces. Originally recruited by Megatron, Betatron believed fully in Megatron's vision of the Decepticons rising up to power once again to end the overly oppressive Autobot regime and restore a sense of balance to Cybertron. Though once Betatron learned that Megatron's intent was more to rule and conquer than to restore a sense of order in a torn Cybertron, Betatron quickly voiced his discontent with Megatron's vision -- which cost him a demotion and a banishment from Megatron's side. Sent to the far reaches of the galaxy on pointless missions, Betatron now realizes he was seen as nothing more than a distraction to Megatron and his goal. Betatron has now gathered other Decepticon outcasts by his side and has begun his own master plan to take Cybertron from the Autobots ... and even Megatron, should he be there when he arrives.

Weakness: Betatron's discovery of Megatron's true intentions and his vocal displeasure have cost him reputation amongst many Decepticons. It is commonly joked amongst Megatron loyalists that Betatron wears the Decepticon symbol only because there are no other symbols to wear other than Autobot or Decepticon. Betatron's lack of trust in those who are around him causes him to doubt everyone's intentions ... including his own.

This is an awesome idea.

Here's my idea for a character based in the G1 universe.

Roadburn
Affiliation: Decepticon
Function: Sabotage
Alt Mode: Dark Blue Lambourghini Countach (Like G1 Sideswipe) with flame design on hood (like Tracks or Hot Rod).

Bio:

Roadburn was once nothing more than a street punk and a con artist. Picking on helpless mechanoids for fun and profit were the only pastimes that interested him. He would often hang out with the Autobot Sideswipe, who even managed to convince Roadburn to join the Autobot army. However, Roadburn could never quite put his street-punk days behind him, and would often be reprimanded by Autobot command for pulling nasty pranks on less powerful Autobots. Roadburn also started to resent the changes he began to see in Sideswipe. When Sideswipe and his brother Sunstreaker were picked for the ill-fated Ark mission, Roadburn went to Sideswipe and asked him to see if he could get Optimus Prime to reconsider. Sideswipe refused, and the disgruntled Roadburn left the Autobots to join the Decepticon cause, betraying his entire squad to do so. Now Roadburn feels complete, reveling in the destruction he is allowed to cause as a Decepticon. Word has gotten back to Roadburn that Sideswipe is alive, and he has vowed to do everything in his power to destroy his former friend. He has even gone so far as to reformat his alternate mode into the same form as Sideswipe as a constant reminder of his new mission in life.

Abilities:
Roadburn has above-average intelligence, and great speed and strength. He is as capable a fighter as Sideswipe, whom he trained with during his stint with the Autobots. Roadburn can get up to a top speed of 350 MPH, which he can sustain for about 1500 miles. In vehicle mode, Roadburn's tires can secrete a flammable liquid that ignites when he rolls on them. This leaves a trail of fire behind him that catches any pursuer in a virtual inferno. He can also open special vents in his undercarriage to channel the flames into a flamethrower cannon that is stored in his hood. This flamethrower is also usable in robot mode. He is extremely resistant to high temperatures, and could even survive submersion in liquid magma. In addition to the flamethrower, Roadburn is armed with a Photon Pulse Rifle, which channels light into a white-hot laser beam; and a shoulder mounted rocket launcher that launches Scattershot Rockets. These rockets explode in midair into several smaller explosives that rain down on his hapless victims and can level an entire city block.

Weaknesses:
Roadburn's obsession with destroying Sideswipe can often interfere with his missions. He is less trusted than most Decepticons, and as such is often left to fend for himself in dangerous situations. He is also extremely cocky in his abilities, and can sometimes bite off a little more than he can chew. He always manages to get himself out of these situations, but he is starting to push his luck more and more.

Name: Cackel
function: bounty hunter
alt mode: giant henya
faction: who ever pays him the most
alt mode description: looks like jawbreaker but his head is normal.his suoulders in beast mode lack the detailing. all the meatal on his legs except for the blades over his front paws and blades on the back of the back legs is gone. and the plate on the small of his back is smothe. all meatal on him is midnight blue and the rest is normal henya colors.
abilities/eqipment: short range telaportation.shadow genarator*.sword skill.pulse cannon in right hand/henya mouth, small three person starship with cargo hold.

Cackel is insane. he findes comedy in pain, and working as a bounty hunter means to him that he gets paid for doing what he does any way except he just has to bring his target back. he is a ruthless fighter and will tear apart his enemy and bring his employer back the peices.

weakness: due to the fact that he laughs at pain, in battel he will often be incapasatated with laughter alowing him to be taken from behind.
* can be used for stelth or creating shadow decoys

It was Judgment Day! And we got sent to the bad place! The BAD place!

Da red wuns go fasta!

I found this thread and think it is a good idea.

Roleplay. How would our characters react to eachother. Just a thought. Forwarning, not here.

Ooh, I like the idea of an RPG.

I was making my own RPG a little while ago, but then I scrapped the idea. I still have to forum I made for it, though, so we can use that as our RPG forum if we decide to use DaraRex2.0's idea?

I've already gotten the forum ready, deleted the old plot, redid the RPG areas, and changed the rules - they're now a LOT more lax than I usually play, but since the idea of this RPG is just to have our character interact with each other, I think they'll do.

Anyways, here's the forum if Kickback decides to use it:http://z9.invisionfree.com/TFOblivio...ex.php?act=idx

Of course, we'll have to wait until Kickback tells us what rolls our characters will have before we start RPing.

EDIT: You'll notice the RPG areas look a little sparse, but I'll add more when Kickback reveals where the bulk of the story will take place.

Whoa, been a while since I've seen a fanfic that used other fans characters, good on you Kicky! If it's not to late to throw in a character idea:

Name: Phasma
Faction: Decepticon

An engineering genius, Phasma's research has lead to technological advantages indispensible to the Decepticon cause, though some believe that there are finding's that he has been keeping to himself for his own unknown ends. It is rumoured that these secret experiments involved spacebridge technology and are the direct cause of his occasionally chaotic and confused mental state. The others leave him be though as although his mental instability is unerving, his genius is undoubted.
Prefering the solitude of his laboratory, Phasma is still a capable warrior when called for, and is indeed usually only called for when his unusual methods as a tactician are required. His flights of brilliance have been known to swing battles, though equally he has wreaked havoc on his fellow ranks with catastrophic decisions. As such his time on the battlefield is minimised to only when his unique brand of chaotic genius might be the best thing and probably last thing the Decepticons can break out.

Abilities: His chosen alt mode on Earth is that of a jet black helicopter gunship, his fellows believe this to be some form of sucking up to Megatron in his own helicopter mode, but the truth is Phasma prefers to float over the battlefield in order to better observe the goings on and so ascertain the best course of action. The results of his personal experiments have meant that his mind is not what it once was, rather than the permanently sharp and quiet scientist he was once taken for, his mind now tends to wander. Literally. At times he experiences phase shifts of his mind, allowing him to literally see the future, if only fleetingly, this is the cause of his tactical advice and the reason for it's apparent brilliance. Sometimes his mind slides to the past instead giving him some insight into past recent events in his vicinity. This 'gift' also functions as an affliction that can have terrible consequences and he seems to have no ability to control it...

Weaknesses: When his mind shifts, in order to preserve causality, he does not see his own future, but that of a parallel world, and as such at times, that future is not at all the same, this has led to some tactical blunders that would normally lead to his dismemberment by his own comrades, but his engineering ability and 50/50 record of incredible decisions stop them at just a severe beating. His intel on the 'past' he see's is usually taken only under consideration due to the same flaw in that he might have been seeing an unrelated past. Once before it wasn't just his mind that wandered to a parallel existence, but his entire body, he re-appeared a month later and didn;t stop gibbering for 5 days, his whearabouts during this time are unknown, however on his return he has a slash across his face, diagonal between his eyes that he has refused to have removed, to this day it remains a ghastly scar on his form...

*EDIT* Weapons: Phasma is able to deploy both the guns and rockets that arm his helicopter mode in both forms, however in robot mode he prefers to use his rotors as a shield mainly but can remove the tips to act as either hunting or throwing knives. The knives are capable of creating an intense emp field when thrown and electrical damage when held...

It is, indeed, a very awesome idea to use different peoples' fan characters in one fic. Wish I thought of it first!

And, I know this is your story, Kickback, but I was thinking about how my character Noise Maker could fit into it. If you don't mind, I just thought I'd throw some ideas for him out there...

It'd be really easy to have him as a Lockdown-ish character, or as a mercernary for the Decepticons, but my favorite thing about him is that he can fit in with the Autobots.

I haven't written anything with him, save for a few RPG stories, but I always envisioned him working with the Autobots - even if only for a little while before going off or joining the 'cons.

It could make a nice tension atmosphere for the Autobots - they could need Noise Maker's skill or knowledge of the Decepticons (since he does a LOT of business with them), but they could still be disgusted by him and hate him. He does, after all, hunt down Autobot and Decepticon alike, making him a monster to both teams.

He could also be a little like Dinobot; you know, working with the Autobots out of necessity. The Decepticons could have tried to kill Noise Maker, or something, because he just took a commission from the Autobots one time too many. Then he could join the Autobots, offering his skills if they give him protection.

Just some ideas. Sorry if I'm stepping on your toes, don't mean to be; just really excited about this.

GET OFF MY TOES!!!!!111

j/k

S'all good man. I plan to keep the generic descriptions everyone gave me in tact. Things like "He's a bounty hunter, hates people" is something I will keep in if you wrote it. But if you wrote "Starscream's best friend, likes to dance with Megatron, and occassionaly parties with Soundwave" ... I'm probably going to throw that out

I'd love to go over everything with everyone for their characters, but I don't want to spoil the story. I will say that I will make sure each character has "their moment" so to speak, where you as the creator can be like "Hell yeah!" and all that. There's just a LOT of characters!!!!!

Stay tuned.
