Rper: Imaginary
Character type: Permanent Character
Name: Moonsweep
Nicknames: Midnight Menace
Gender Identity: Mech
Approx age: Slightly predates the Great War
Alliance: Neutral
Function/Job: Puppetmaster?
Height: 39 ft
Approx mass: 10 tons
Pretender?: No
Personality: Moonsweep is very solitary and rarely, if ever, comes in direct contact with others. He prefers to manipulate environment to get people to take the actions they should. It is because of this that he is still assumed to be dead, which is how he wants it for now.
On the rare occasions he does have direct contact with someone he tends to be very cryptic, vague, and secretive. He comes across as very stoic and seemingly emotionless to some. At the same time he generally holds a sense of unwavering confidence and fearlessness. Social interactions are very few and far between for him and he tends to keep them short.
Before his death (see history for more on that) he was much different. While he still had a sense of fearlessness and confidence about him it was more from cocky arrogance than anything. He believed himself to be unbeatable and therefore would do and say whatever he wanted, which could be a bit annoying at times. However there was definite reason to fear him, he was very skilled and very deadly. Yet while he was both cocky and somewhat frightening he also had a strange skill for being a smooth talker.
Appearance: Moonsweep is a very sleek and somewhat sharp looking mech with a wing structure that slants downwards in his ‘bot mode. He stands at about 39ft tall, is mostly colored a midnight blue and has a few silver accents on his design. This color and design causes him to blend remarkably well with the night sky and quite well in the dark in general. His optics are a deep violet and he has a black visor that can come down to cover them and hide the light from them. At his hips are two large bits of what look like armoring but are actually holsters, one for his dart gun and one for his rifle, as well as various holders for throwing knives and daggers.
Alt mode: Cybertronian stealth jet (I really don't know just how to describe this, guys, I'm just gonna have to draw it eventually)
Holoform: Moonsweep's holoform stands at about 6'1" and normally wears dark colors including a midnight blue trench coat. He has shoulder length midnight blue, almost black hair and deep violet eyes which are normally behind sunglasses which are a stark contrast to his ghostly pale skintone.
Weapons: Dart gun with very specialized and stylized darts that can be (but aren’t always) filled with corrosives and other such Cybertronian “poisons” (likely he made these darts himself), throwing knives, daggers, and a laser rifle (he generally doesn’t use this unless he has to for the extra firepower). Note: All of his weaponry is colored to match him for stealth purposes.
Abilities: Going unnoticed, subtlety, manipulation, marksmanship, and knowledge of most vital areas and “pressure points” in Cybertronian anatomy.
Strengths: His greatest strength is probably his stealth. Along with naturally blending in the darkness he is able to stay completely still and silent from his past training to be an assassin. That training also helped him to learn to move quickly, swiftly, and just about silently as well as his marksmanship skills. His visions and predictions help him to ensure that he is where he needs to be and at the right time and maintain his confidence in success.
Weaknesses: Moonsweep is physically very weak due to his spark being weak. He needs to rest often and his body will sometimes shut down automatically if he does not. Over exerting himself (by doing something like intense fighting) runs the same risk. He does not recharge normally but rather goes into a semi-conscious state where he tends to ramble off a random mixture of cryptic prophecy and his own system’s functions (sort of like the hybrids from Battlestar Galactica). He also tends to get a lot of his visions in this state though sometimes they will come to him at unexpected times which can throw him off of whatever he was doing at the time. Also his dark color can make him quite obvious in broad daylight if he isn’t careful.
Family: none
History: Long ago Moonsweep was a Decepticon and not at all ashamed. With aspirations to be a Decepticon assassin, if not the Decepticon assassin, he made sure his first appearance was nothing short of stunning. He used his stealth to find out about a group of Autobots that the Decepticons were going to attack the next day and waited until nightfall before going there himself, using the cover of night to go in and massacre the Autobots there singlehandedly. When the Decepticons arrived to destroy the Autobots they found instead Moonsweep sitting casually on a throne of the Autobot corpses who greeted them with “About time, what took you so long?”
The Decepticons accepted him into their ranks and placed him on a small team. Much to his displeasure the team was nowhere near assassination and, in fact, was generally kept away from combat. While he was very bitter about this placement at first he came to be very close to his teammates over time and the position kept him relatively safe. That is, until the team ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. While his teammates were able to escape he had stayed back to fight, a choice that would cost him his life.
When he died his processor was flooded with images and visions of the future, the most vivid being the end of the universe. He saw the people who were there, what they were needed for, and how to stop it, which involved sacrificing himself. It was immediately after that revelation that the Great Spark threw him back into life some time after he was declared dead. He then knew what his destiny really was, to ensure that everything happened so that the end of the universe could be stopped. But in order to do this it was important that no one knew he was alive for quite a long time.
After that he began working in the shadows, manipulating events without getting himself directly involved in them. He was nothing short of thankful for being a stealth mech when it came to this and the fact that his Spark signal was weak from his death only helped to aid as in general one wouldn’t even notice it unless they were looking for it, which they generally weren’t. However the spark signal was weak because his spark itself was seeing as how by all accounts he should be dead. The state of his Spark became both an advantage and a hindrance to adjust to. He also continued to have visions and trance out and begin speaking prophecies, some of them very clear while others cryptic and vague. These visions serve to guide him in either what he must do or what will happen regardless. It is unclear when exactly he came to Earth or if he has even stayed there all the time since arriving.
Additional information: More of just a note on how I will rp this character so people don’t get worried about a “puppetmaster” being around. Essentially things will progress normally but I will throw him in as sort of observing major events to ensure everything goes as planned and create the illusion that he manipulated it to be that way. Any direct manipulations will only be done with permission and consulting the rpers involved. If you would like to get Moonsweep involved in actually manipulating something you can contact me and I will do what I can to work it out. For a while before Moonsweep reveals himself to be alive in the rp he will mostly be thrown into threads for a post (maybe two) and then leave the thread, essentially not part of the posting order. These posts will mostly be near the end of the thread at some point and I will ask permission before throwing him in.
