Description
Edit (8/12/2022): Finally. His reference got a much needed update. ;3; Then hopefully the rest as well.

Designation: Airflow
Gender: Mech (male)
Faction: None/neutral
Occupation: Traveller
Alternate mode: Cybertronian jet
Weapons: Electric escrima sticks and a basic blaster
Family: Stormwatch (sire), Livewire (carrier), Quickfire (aunty), Salem (companion), Arcas (sparkmate), Phantom (father-in-law), Arcee (mother-in-law), Salvo (brother-in-law), Scytale (brother-in-law)

Other abilities:
Time travel and teleportation
-Time travel uses up a significant amount of energy, and user needs urgent replenishment after one jump. Danger of deactivation.
-Teleportation is less taxing, but still drains somewhat after multiple consecutive jumps.
-Uses coordinates for these functions.

-Good problem-solving ability.
-Specialises in hand-to-hand combat.
-Can talk his way out of many things.
-Skilled in the art of flirtation (according to him anyway).

Personality:
-Much like Stormwatch, he’s a fun-loving mech with a pure spark, making him easy friend material.
-He tends to jump right into the thick of things without much of a plan, but only because he believes it’s more fun that way.
-Likes to joke about and tease with others.
-An absolute foodie, it's the one way to his spark.
-He’s rather enthusiastic about what he does and could chat all day about it if others were willing to let him. If there’s anything you wanted to know about travelling across the galaxy, visiting planets and sights to see, he’s your guy!

Likes:
-Travelling
-Discovery
-Food
-Crystals
-Arcas
-Arcas’ attention

Dislikes:
-Sand
-Salem’s stubbornness
-War
-Inability to read someone (ie. Phantom)

Weaknesses:
-Often extremely reckless as a result of either his desire to have fun or curiosity, and will find himself in a lot of trouble for those reasons.
-Sometimes doesn’t think before he speaks.
-Easily distracted
-Planning ahead or thinking things through is not his forte
-Claustrophobic

Background:
Airflow was an Autobot created closer to a point where the war was coming to an end, however he did grow up to see and learn enough of the horrors it entailed. He did not play a part in it initially as a youngling, often kept behind on base with the company of his friend Salem (a creation made by Livewire as a present). However, came the time for him to pick up his first weapon, he quickly realised how much he despised the thought of having to hurt or even kill as a necessity for the cause. The war as a whole was something he simply could not get behind.

So with great difficulty he farewelled his creators, of whom were reluctant yet understood his sentiments and let him choose his own path. From then on, Airflow became a neutral bot with Salem, and travelled around the galaxy, finding new things to discover and planets to hop. Not without running into Decepticons on the occasion, but he came prepared.

At one point in his journey, he was captured by an unknown scientist bot who planned to use Airflow's body as an experiment. The amount of time he spent trapped within the laboratory is not confirmed, although it was long enough to take a mental toll on his processor. This was especially so given the procedures were essentially torturous in nature. Airflow managed to escape in a weakened state when the scientist mysteriously vanished from the facility. From there, Airflow was forced to learn to control his new abilities on his own.

Over time, despite visiting his creators as much as he could, he became a lonely bot. He made plenty of friends along the say, but since he was constantly on the move, he never saw them very often. He would only begin to heal once he finally met his special someone.

Quote: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

Other Notes:
-Skyfire’s datalogs, files and guides inspired Airflow to start travelling and discover himself
-Avoids going to the doctors due to his past trauma with an ethically questionable scientist
-Hates the idea of anyone trying to touch or mess with his internals
-Fluent in many languages
-Touch starved
-Very cuddly!!!
-His wings and antenna flutter and move more commonly when he's extremely happy
-Oil sticks are his favourite treat
-Shares a subspace with Salem
-Wings can fold into his back
-The citrate attached to his wing was a piece found on one of his travels
-Escrima sticks have the ability to stun and paralyse based on settings
-Visor made from raw Cybertronian materials which are melted into glass
-Not the best cook, but he has been practicing!
-Post-experimentation, his optics would randomly glitch out, though he would have no idea unless someone tells him. This would later become a rare occurrence

Characters Phantom, Arcas, Salvo and Scytale all belong to

Ahh I was going to wait until I completed all the references, but I think it's best if I upload now to avoid reference spam later. I'm still working on the rest at a snail's pace, but getting there. This time I'm leaving the colours flat because it's easier.
Stormwatch has been updated too if anyone wants to check it out (literally at the bottom of the OCs folder). Just got the girls left to go.

Anyway, here's the new boi all done. :>
