[FORMER COVEN MEMBER] I have always appreciated her calm nature. Now part of me finds it unsettling... I dare not assume I know what might go on under her silence, what thoughts are left unsaid... Not anymore. Despite it all, I have no doubt I could delude myself into finding her muted reactions pleasant again... I cannot allow myself that weakness, of course.
"..hmph. A rather disappointing soul indeed, I have not a single high expectation left for him."
[MOST NOBLE UPHOLDER OF JUSTICE] I do not deserve the chance I have been given, and yet I must take it to ensure I can keep watch on my... Former associates... Lord CrucibleCaster reminds me that I am undeserving and beyond forgiveness. I think I may have subconsciously sought him out at times, when I have felt myself grow too comfortable in my unearned freedom.
[Coven member :)] "our dearest silent knight"
[FORMER COVEN MEMBER] ... He used to be kind... Then again, I suppose I used to be as well. Both of us have lost that sweetness. Both of us plummeted from grace. Although MY fall is the direct result of HIS vile actions... A kind, curious soul, now a corrupted shadow of his former self... We are not so different in our fates. He always were fond of puppets, but I had never thought myself to be tangled in his strings.
[ALLY/NOT-BABY-BROTHER] Why must he be such a SNITCH!? Quiet little thing unless he is telling on me to the boss! What has he got against ME? Tch! But I suppose there IS more to him than being a boss' pet, tattletale... As foolish as it may be, he is always the one who is most eager to enter a fight, no matter how clearly outmatched he is. It is like his processor has no concept of fear! I... PERHAPS find that a bit admirable... Not because I am not brave! I simply have more developed survival instincts than he does. And I sometimes have to use those to ensure that he does not get turned into spare parts, because I SUPPOSE I CARE FOR THE TOY, WHAT OF IT!? So... Nobody is allowed to shove him so he falls because his stabilising servos are strange and nubby and his pedes are all round. Nobody except ME, and perhaps Proxy, but I do not think he is strong enough to even do that.
[INTERESTING OLD GUY] I am very much aware that I should not be mingling with the enemy, but... Despite his reputation, Ferrodox seems... Not too bad...? A bit what one might call "rough around the edges" but that is not a trait exclusive to Decepticons! So I have decided to try and learn from him! N-not the villainy, of course! But there is no doubt in my processor that he has valuable experience to share! Even... If I have a hard time seeing the value in some of the things he shares with me... I suspect he might not take me entirely seriously... But that is alright! Even if I don’t learn something from seeing Earth animals ride motorcycles, I cannot resist an offer to see that!
[LEADER/NOT-DAD] The boss! Not even "Lord" or "grand" or "exhalted leader", just "boss"! He is quite humble. He is also very strong and he could most certainly beat anyone in combat. Perhaps not I, the great Aeroblitz, for I can fly and he cannot, but I have no reason to fight him and he is very very powerful regardless. He protects me and the other two, and is very good at acquiring fuel, and he cooks for us and does not even get all that upset when I accidentally steal enough energon goodies for him to notice it, and he keeps me safe from Megatron and Starscream and anyone else who might mean to harm me, and he is quite large and very fun to climb on, and comfortable to recharge on. He makes me feel... Secure! He is the best boss in the entire universe, I am quite sure of it! I will do great things and make him very proud, mark my words! And then I will get to tell my allies what to do, when he is not there! The fleshing the Autobots keep around has said it is like he is my "dad". I do not know what that is supposed to mean!
Picked up this little scraplet after Starscream got a little too overeager with some cloning tech. Long story short, this little guy's got the seeker ego-insecurity spiral thing going for him where he wants to be in charge but mostly thinks being in charge means yelling and looking impressive. Not much else besides some pea shooters and a quick processor, but he tries. And I like that about him. He's got potential to be more than an overpowered coward like the real deal.
He's just gotta keep his tiny little servos out of my blasted energon treats. Pain in my aft....
[NEMESIS] My archenemy! My sworn nemesis! Obviously, he is the only flying Autobot! At least the only one that is worthy of my time (no, it is NOT because I find the strange-talking blue and orange ones unsettling! It is simply because he was CREATED with flight, so he is more... Worthy... Yes, that is it!) so we MUST be nemeses. He is too big for an Autobot, but that means he is great for climbing on! He lets me do that, for he knows of my strength and greatness! He is very polite and naïve... And weirdly fond of this planet despite the fact that he has actually gotten to witness the greatness of Cybertron! He is odd... But still a worthy opponent! And good for conversation! Even if he does not say that much, he shares MY fondness for more advanced vocabulary! And he listens to what I say! Not as in he does what I say... He does not do that. Perhaps one day I will convince him that with his size and strength, he would make an... Adequate Decepticon, if he were to act scarier and follow my lead. Until then I can accept merely having him be decent company. That is what nemeses are for, when you are not fighting them, right?
[FRIEND] The small Starscrea- Oh no, my deepest apologies, he does not like being referred to that way, so I shall respect that! He is my friend! I am aware Autobot and Decepticon relations are... Strained, but... He is mostly harmless! The most trouble he causes seems unintended and when he actively makes a move at mischief, it is rarely anything that puts anyone in danger. He says we are nemeses. I wouldn't call us that... I harbour no animosity towards him. He is a bit like the creatures locally known as "birds"! Quite loud and proud at times, but they cause no harm and can be quite skittish when push comes to shove. I do not mind him. In fact, I quite enjoy his company! It can feel a bit alienating to not share the gift of flight with any of my Autobot allies. Not to mention flying all by oneself is nice sometimes, but it can get lonely too. I do not ever feel lonely around Aeroblitz! He is a bit... Uhhh... Much... At times. But I think that is just what having friends entails! It is not bad, really. I like spending time with him. He does not comment on how I speak, he does not even mind if I don't speak... It is nice. I hope to maybe sway him from being a Decepticon and perhaps lead him down the path of good and justice! But... For now, I will just have to accept that I am friends with a Decepticon, ha ha! (... Do not tell Sentinel Prime about that, he would not be pleased.)
[LEADER] All hail the great and glorious Lord Ferrodox! BAH! He may be great in size, but that's about it! He lacks the courage and strategic mind to make the moves that are clearly needed to PROPERLY rid the universe of our enemies for GOOD! Moves that *I* could make! But no! He is too caught up in his own outdated way of processing to realise it! Sure, he got me out of that wretched space station, and I *suppose* I am grateful for that, and the opportunity to give the flesh creatures what they deserve... But what’s the point if he then refuses to acknowledge my superior talents and intellect?! What kind of leader doesn’t realise when he is *obsolete* and ought to step down for the good of the cause?! Doesn’t matter, my time will come! One of these days I’ll manage to be rid of him and take his place! Uhh… Until then… Ugh... A bit... A *lot* of grovelling never hurt anyone... Just my pride... It's less painful than a punch and doesn't send me to the med bay... Why does he have to be that strong and scary anyway?!
[A datapad entry from Ferrodox, as if the leader were physically *asked* what he thought of Aeroblitz, he would simply respond with something trite and unhelpful, such as: "Fast. Flies good. Insufferable."]
Aeroblitz is, by all accounts, spiritually adjacent to something considered almost universally unpleasant--like a seabird.
Swooping low and attacking anyone deemed "beneath him"--he is a mocking, cackling, thing whose uninvited and incessant warbling taunts those that were brought into this world without the gift of flight. But so preoccupied by his own folly that he neglects to see the shadow of something lurking under the water's surface, waiting to strike. To put the wretched thing in his place.
Still, he is an......*invaluable* asset, as much as it inflates his ego (and grinds my gears) to say. His speed is second to none, and his fondness for skullduggery is only behind Proxy in terms of creativity. To put all of this more simply: He has his uses, or I would've ended him already.
Unfortunately, he thinks he can one day take my place as leader of our cause. Well, I invite him to try.
Any excuse to put another tire shaped dent in his intake pipe is both cathartic for me and a learning experience for him.
