Description
This is my character forUgh... legs. I know, they're off, but for now, I'm just happy to have him up and posted.
----
Character Name: Slade
Alt. Mode: Oshkosh LVSR Truck
Gender: Mech
Relative Age: (Born before the war) 52
Height: 46 ft
Current Occupation: Construction Worker
Current Residency: The caretaker's house of a small apartment complex he helped build a while back
Bondmate (if any): None
Children (if any): None
Other family (optional): Wife (deceased-died before bonded)
Alliance during the War: Autobot
Backstory:
Before the war, Slade spent his younglinghood running with the underground gangs and acting as the brawn of the group. He later left and took up an entirely different lifestyle, devoting his time to Circuit-Su and the art of Metallikato.
Years later he left the dojo and traveled some more, and taking up many different jobs and life-styles. It was around this time that the war broke out in full swing. While he found the Autobot ideals to be a bit too optimistic, he saw the devastation wreaked by the Decepticons and decided to aid the weaker faction.
For millenia, Slade then spent his time as a captain of his own team, displaying an uncharacteristic instinct for tactical warfare--though, planning aside, that's not to say Slade doesn't enjoy jumping right into the thick of things. If there was one thing to be said about his leadership, Slade never believed the captain was more important than his team. He outright refused to be wait behind his troops and was often found standing with them when the proverbial shit hit the fan.
While he admits to missing the war, overall, Slade is glad peace has settled over Cybertron.
Description/quirks/anything else we should know:
- Slade has always had a soft spot for the younger generation. He enjoys looking after them, using his old age and experience to teach/bore them. However, he outright refuses to coddle them. “You can’t get the shine without a bit 'a spit in the polish…… Or somethin’ like that…”
- After work, he can sometimes be found on the front porch of his home, kicking back a cube of high grade and listening to swing. You'll never get him to admit to it, though.
- Weighing in at 24 tons, Slade can lift, carry, and toss anything he can lift.
- Slade can lift twice his body weight.
- Slade once considered joining the Decepticon ranks, however, after seeing the devastation wrought by the faction on an city with no defense of its own, he decided to aid the Autobots and protect those not strong enough to defend themselves.
- Refuses to admit his real age. Ever.
- He enjoys scaring the shit out of/confusing the young folk.
- Although not always intentional, Slade is old set in his ways and believes most femmes need protecting.
- More later....

- Yeah, you don't wanna fuck with the guy who can toss you around the world twice.
Galeforce: *DOES wanna fuck with the guy who can toss her around the world twice*
(Gale's perving is so much fun. I haven't been able to play her totally going after someone in a while. I love how he teases her back and/or ignores her )

Slade: *too busy hauling heavy, steel, support beams to notice*
Glad to hear. I wanted to add a bit more to his design, but then it felt a bit too crowded. *was kinda nervous about the final design*

Galeforce: *enjoys the show*
I think that Slade's personality works better with a somewhat simpiler design

He's awesome! I love his manly chest and the way you did his tires to look like shoulderpads. I feel like he should have a bunch of war metals for decoration when he has a fancy dinner party.

Slade looks cool, fits right in there with Kup, 'cept for the fact he seems more 'young old' than 'old old' like Kup is. I know I'd probably listen to his stories and stuff.

Neurquadic In reply to Gatana [2009-09-18 06:25:22 +0000 UTC]
lol, I'd say Slade is up there, but not QUITE that far up--maybe a tad younger than Ironhide? Kup would totally hand him his aft in a fight, too.

That would decidedly uncool. :U

Sounds delicious.
