I'm adopted this guy... (character originally belonged to a guest named 'fear'.)
Name: Ironstar
Allegiance: Autobot
Function: Soldier
Alt. mode: Cybertronian Jet
Weapons: Neutron Assault Rifle, Energon Sword, prog knife, delayed-fuse pocket mines
Special Abilities: Hacking. Due to his position in the Autobot army, he can easily gain information from secure data banks if and when he needs to.
Height: 28 ft
Quote: "Be the change."
Strength: 7
Intelligence: 9
Dexterity: 5
Speed: 4
Endurance: 4
Courage: 10
Firepower: 3
Accuracy: 5
Melee: 5
Tech Skill: 8
Charisma: 10
Rank: 5 (soldier)
Profile: If Atticus Finch were a Cybertronian, this would be him. Ironstar is a good hearted, modest and fearless Autobot soldier. He joined the army for no other reason than because it was the right thing to do. He is a patriot and will fight to the death for his beliefs. Still, he does not blindly follow the government and if he feels it has overstepped its boundaries he will remind it of its place.
Weaknesses: Ironstar is a strictly rational, scientific bot. Perhaps too much. He finds it difficult to believe in even Primus, let alone the Allspark. He is stubborn in this regard and it keeps him from tapping into his true potential.
Backstory:
Before the outbreak of the war, Ironstar of the House of Hallicon had just passed the bar and assumed post as a local barrister. As the war escalated, Ironstar shifted between numerous positions, from solicitor to attourney to special administrative advocate. Through a series of favours and appointments he gradually became an administrative executive for the Basilicate Legislation for the City-State of Ivo, where he acted as party whip. Autobot politics however made him grow weary of maintaining political affairs, and once Ivo and its administrative government were steamrolled by the war, Ironstar took up the sword in the name of justice, and the gun in the name of war.
As for his apparent military skills, Ironstar had a brief moment of service with the Ivoan reserves, and then maintained hunting and competitive swordwork as a hobby afterwards. That hobby turned out to be a useful skill much, much later.
Among other skills, Ironstar can also sing. He is a baritone, and he enjoys singing lounge or folksy blues.
Weapons
Neutron Assault Rifle: Basic energy weapon, not for use in melee combat.
Energon sword: Double-edged, two-and a half-handed broadsword. Glows blue.
Prog Knife: A knife with a vibrating blade that allows it to cut through even the thickest steel. May require some pressure and an extra few minutes to actually finish sawing through said thickest steel.
Delayed-Fuse Pocket Mines: Small explosives that can be planted on any surface and set to detonate on time delay. These devices are small however, and are effective only on locks, doorways, and light to moderate armour.
