RPer: Suburban Wulf (Chasm)
Character Type: Permanent
Name: Chasm
Nickname: Chas, “Gold Flames”
Gender Identity: Mech
Approximate Age: 13,500 years
Alliance: Autobot
Function/Job: Communications
Height: 16 feet
Approximate Mass: 1.6 Metric Tons
Cybertronian Type: Normal Cybertronian
Personality: Chasm is a bit of an odd mech. Before Decepticons attacked his hometown, he was the resident body artist. Wanted something flashy and cool on your hood? Not a problem. Chasm had paint for almost every color known to Cybertron, and a few more not as well known. The downside to his talent for art was that he was a bit of a perfectionist with it. It would often take him mega-cycles to complete simple, one-color designs, but it would be worth it. The image would hold up almost forever, and look new for just as long. When the war broke out, Chasm was apprehensive about choosing a side. Instead, he stayed in his hometown, until the Decepticons attacked, and set fire to everything. Two new quirks emerged from the event. The first was slight processor damage. The building he’d been living in collapsed while he was inside, though he miraculously survived. His helm had been dented, and left him with a glitch that made him zone out and lose track of everything around him when he focused on a task for an extended period of time. The second was more subconscious. Everything he painted afterwards contained fire in some way, no matter how small. He doesn’t notice he’s adding the fire, and doesn’t mind afterwards, it’s always there.
Boredom is a dangerous thing for Chasm to have around the unsuspecting bot. Falling into stasis is asking to be painted on, and paint on the recharging bot Chasm will. Easily washable paint is always used, but some bots tend to forget, usually leading to Chasm being chased by said bot, shrieking “The paint washes off!”
Chasm is also easily spooked. Responses run from simply running away(SNAFU), flailing and running(TARFU), and tearing away as fast as Cybertronianly possible in alt-mode(FUBAR).* Chasm is a bot who can successfully flail and transform into his alt-mode at the same time, commonly referred to as “flailing into alt-mode.”
Appearance:
Alt Mode:
Holoform/Human Form: Chasm’s holoform is a young man in his early 20’s with golden-blonde hair that can be pulled back in a small ponytail and blue-violet eyes. He wears a black t-shirt with a violet and gold vest, the pattern on the vest similar to the one on his alt-mode’s hood. His pants are blue jeans that are stained with splatters of paint in all different colors. On his head sits a pair of clear safety glasses.
Weapons: Small, hand-held blaster and a myriad of paint grenades of all different colors.
Abilities: Photo- and audiographic memory.
Strengths: Chasm has a memory like an elephant, or at least a Cybertronian equivalent. He never forgets anything he’s seen or heard, down to the exact number of each color car he saw on patrol and where he saw each car(he has since learned that kind of information is, more likely than not, useless, and filters through it before making his report). Combining that with his artistic abilities, and he’ll be able to re-create anything he’s seen or heard, even if the description comes in pieces.
His door wings are used like satellite dishes, picking up communications and such in the air, allowing him to perform his duty as a communications bot.
Weaknesses: Chasm is not a fighter at all, and makes that obvious. By himself, he would flee at top speed were there to be a Decepticon attack. With people around, he would stay on the defensive, and call for back-up. With other Autobots, he’d help fend off Decepticons, but would not actually engage them. His favorite tactic in that kind of situation is to spray black paint over the optics, given the chance. He will also throw paint grenades.
His photo- and audiographic memory is also not only a strength, but a decent weakness. Because of all the information he recalls, it can cause a back-up with his processing, and slow down his thinking(like when a computer’s memory gets full and slows down, and its memory needs to be upped, or some things need to be deleted).
On the right side of Chasm's helm is a small, but deep, dent from where the building fell on him. The dent is sensitive, as when it happened some circuits were welded to his helm. This also means the dent cannot be fixed without causing more damage.
Lastly are his door wings. They are sensitive to noise, and to being touched. Pulling is very painful indeed.
Family: Proginator; Radar. Carrier; Spectrum.
History: Chasm was an artist before he was an Autobot. He was carefree and easygoing, and so long as he earned enough to keep himself fueled, housed, and a constant stock of paint, he was happy. The days were always filled with work, but he didn’t mind at all.
When the war first started, he had many bots show up to have the Autobot insignia painted on them, which he would do without a problem. Many had asked him about joining the cause, but his response had always been “Nah. I’d be no good out there. What would I do, paint the ‘cons to death?”
Then, the Decepticons attacked. Like countless other cities they came across, the one Chasm lived in was completely destroyed and burned. Chasm was lucky enough to not be found by the ‘Cons, unfortunately the building he was in collapsed from fire damage, and he was trapped underneath. When the Autobots came through later, he was found under the rubble, and was one of a number of survivors. The only remaining, visible damage was the dent on his helm, which they couldn’t fix due to the sensitivity of the circuits underneath. Because of the attack, Chasm joined the Autobots, becoming a communications ‘bot.
After Optimus sent the message to other Autobots, informing them of Earth, Chasm set off, though he landed a little too far from the other Autobots to make immediate contact. After a cross-country journey, Chasm arrived at the base, and took up his job as a communications ‘bot, busying himself with patrol after patrol.
