BotCast Open Discussion Post

[loltraitorlol]

Okay, botcast. Hi.

Basically, we've been having some communication issues lately, which is... 99% on my end and my fault. orz. I'm having trouble keeping this plot straight, I don't remember what I do and don't know, and recently it led to me godmoding Soundwave a little. x_X;

Thus, this post; basically I think we need to have a discussion about our current 30 Xanatos Pileup and where we're going with it. I'm having it on this journal as that will keep it off the main comm and thus it won't get buried under 40 million other posts about other things, and we can keep this as a discussion.

That said, things I want known:

- What is your character planning/doing right now?
- What can other characters know about what this character is planning/doing?
- What does your character know about what other people are doing/planning?
- What would you like to do in the future, possibly with other characters?
- Any particular goals / things you want to have happen short term?
- Same question, but for the long-term?
- Other... stuff?

And then we are organized! Yay. This also goes for people involved with significant CR around Botcast *looks at Bitsy and Grimm*

Yaaaay?

Comments

STARSCREAM

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS HE DOING
- Being paranoid about 'Nanashi'. Being paranoid about Soundwave. Being paranoid about Shockwave. Being really paranoid.
- Making overly large gestures to deal with the problem and thus failing even more.
- Seriously, he's more paranoid than Red Alert right now, and he's worried that he can't trust anyone. Also, very deep down inside he's upset with himself because he feels like he's fucked something up. You're supposed to LISTEN TO HIM, DAMMIT. THINGS WERE GOING WELL. GRRR.
- Starscream's thus going to be making some very stupid decisions.

Other projects he's working on/things he's involved in:
- He still has a vial of Cerberus spinal fluid that'll give him temporary enhanced strength and regeneration. He's just. Never gotten to use it. Orz.
- He's learning magic from Loki, if the mods ever OK my revision on that.
- He's got a replacement robot body 90% completed, mostly he's developing the skin at this point, which is taking him an agonizingly long time because he doesn't know much about techno-organic stuff. Still, it'll be ready to go by the time I get back from hiatus, pending mods telling me stuff.
- He's going to the Coalition dinner because he feels obligated to be there.
- There was plot with Tony Stark, but it never panned out. :(
- He's still investigating the human soul whenever he can, because he wants to do science to it.

What can other characters know?
- Paranoia re: Nanashi: Obvious paranoia is obvious. Seriously, this is common knowledge.
- Learning magic from Loki is known by Shockwave, I believe, but Starscream hasn't really told anyone else. It is, however, obvious that he's looking for information on human souls.
- I usually even forget he posesses the Cerberus fluid, so doubt anyone knows about that either.
- If anyone's been looking carefully at StarWave's spending, it's pretty clear a lot of money (A few million dollars, actually) has gotten funneled into some R&D project. Starscream also has a habit of leaving hastily scrawled designs and notes around the common room of the apartment, so you might know he's building some sort of hyperadvanced humanoid, but not what for or why.

What do you know about other characters?
... at this point I really don't know orz. Someone please remind me?

THE FUTURE
- I want him to get his physical body killed again plz. NO SPARK STABBING YET THX.
- We really gotta resolve this clusterfuck. He's this close to just killing Soundwave AND Shockwave because his paranoia is up to 11. CAN'T TRUST ANYONE CAN'T TRUST ANYONE CAN'T TRUST ANYONE *rocks back and forth*
- Idk help me out here guys D:

SHORT TERM GOALS
- ... I doubt this will happen, and I defer completely to Alba on this one, but I'd like him to learn some kind of lesson about trusting his troops and working properly with them (YES, REALLY), and maybe for after they probably murder each other in showers of blood, collectively go THAT WAS. UM. STUPID OF US. and slowly work towards some kind of accord.
And then kill each other again in a few months because who are we kidding.

Long-term
- Get better at leading
- Become a genuine threat rather than just a derpy threat
- Get forced more and more into having to choose between Skyfire and leading the 'cons!
- Probably make the wrong choice
- If Skyfire dies or gets ported out or something else horrible happens, activate Plan Omega.

idefk I'm just. So confused. Right now. Orz.

[ajrimmer-ssc.livejournal.com]

poor teal

Welp, basically Rimmer's off being Rimmer, and all lovey-dovey with his new lady, but that will all come crashing to a halt soonish, for two reasons.

1) Something going down with Raven which I don't want to spoil orz.
2) Timeswap shenanigans a-comin'.

He's going to be Hologram Virus!Rimmer, complete with Mr. Flibble and hex vision. SO. He'll be going all evilbadnasty soon, FAIR WARNING.

[perceptivescope.livejournal.com]

...

Oh my god, Bitsy. If he's Evil!Rimmer during the time/AU shift event...

... how bad is he.

Because I'd love for him to face off against Good!Starscream.

[perceptivescope.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS HE DOING
- Making this face: B|
- Slowly learning more about human culture.
- Trying VERY HARD not to become complacent. It's so easy here, because he's not being shot at constantly/starving to death/facing 'cons 24/7, so he's almost like "oh god I can go back to science ^^" but then he's also like BUT I COULD BE PORTED BACK AT ANY TIME ALSO THERE'S CONS HERE ALSO THERE IS SOUNDWAVE HERE B|
- Thinking about how to best kill Soundwave, fuck the truce. Blaster isn't here, thus he owes it to his friend.
- Pining for Drift
- Quietly doting on Skydive.
- Quietly liking this Nanashi guy.
- Doing CSI work for the police.
- Practicing with his guns.
- Still trying to avoid humans finding out that he's a robot.
- ... still lives in the MAC. why isn't he at Autobase yet :(

What can other characters know?
- If you're human and not Trowa? He's trying very hard not to let people know he's Cybertronian.
- He works at the police station in the CSI unit.
- He's not a very G1 or TF:A ish Perceptor. Namely? Taciturn and often scary.
- Shockwave build him guns. Shockwave now also knows that he's a dead shot with those guns.
- I think that's it?

What do you know about other characters?
- He knows mostly who is Decepticon and who is Autobot and your comm numbers. If there's exceptions, please remind me.
- He doesn't know that Soundwave's second comm belongs to 'wave, but he's wondering where the heck that guy went, since he's not seen him posting on the comms at all since then.
- He knows that no one is from his universe, and doesn't much care.
- He knows that Shockwave is a semi-loyal 'con here, but is confused by this. He doesn't trust Shockwave at all.

THE FUTURE
- I'd like him to teach Skydive how to read Autobot and how to speak and read Decepticon.
- Getting to trust Trowa and humans more / understand that the Code of Interplanetary Conduct does NOT apply here and should be broken would be a VERY GOOD THING, as it'd get him out more.
- Once he trusts Trowa more (he already trusts Trowa almost completely, as he's. Like that. It's just "But you're a human and I don't want to hurt you D: " at this point) he should teach Trowa how to read Autobot and Decepticon, and how to speak it as best he can (which is technically impossible as we know that Alastair can't pronounce it due to... reasons. That Zero made up. )
- Come more out of his shell. Along with trusting humans more? Start helping them with superscience. Autobot superscience.
- Get the Autobots better weapons and help the 'bots start to catch up with the Decepticons in that regard
- Talk more with Skyfire, apologize to him before flipping out again if he finds out about the Starscream thing. But still, science and derping, plz.
- HE NEEDS TO DISCOVER HIS GEISHA POWER IN THE MOST AWKWARD WAY POSSIBLE.

SHORT TERM GOALS
- ^ See come out of his shell and do more science

Long-term
- ^ see above, which changes contingent on getting a Depth Charge, Wheeljack, or Drift (or equivalents)

[theprimerprime.livejournal.com]

Get in the base, you. We need solidarity!

[notsoloyal]

discovering the geisha power you sayyyy hmmmmmm?

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

Yay, reading!

When you get off of hiatus I can have Skydive mention it, if you like? A month is probably enough for the notebook to drive him completely nuts.

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

/icly grabbyhands the language skills because would have lasted so much longer going unnoticed if he'd found a tutor

using Teal's format: Trowa

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS HE DOING
- Attempting to salvage his situation somehow so that nobody has to die... except possibly himself. But preferably Starscream.
- Watching for a way to kill Starscream.
- Being silently pleased with having not completely gotten his ass kicked at Edgeworth's.
- Being silently DISpleased at having been made into a kitten for four hours.
- Following orders from Soundwave to a) keep watch over Ravage, b) go along with pretending to believe Soundwave is slipping loyalty/leaving/wanting to overthrow Starscream to kill time until a better idea is put together.
- Struggling over whether or not to dismantle Arsenal now or save the mech for in case there's an emergency.
- Trying to continue learning about/interacting with Soundwave and Shockwave in an attempt to understand/accept them and himself and/or seek answers to meaningful personal questions.
- Watching the network to find out who has been hurting Waspinator.
- Attempting to discover more about the various Autobots and possibly befriend them if they'll let him do so as a human instead of needing to repeat the spy process.
- Attempting to make something of his life as a normal teenager and help animals, since he kind of prefers them to nearly all humans.

What can other characters know?
- Quatre knows just about every move Trowa makes.
- Starscream and Shockwave know about the lion forms; Soundwave and Starscream know about the agility powers.
- Shockwave and Soundwave know about Trowa's attachment to Quatre. Both know Quatre's real name, but only the latter knows Trowa's.
- Shockwave has a few other pieces of knowledge stolen from Trowa. I believe he's kept them to himself?
- Those two and Starscream know he infiltrated the faction. Waspinator knows someone did, but hasn't been told it's Trowa. Trowa is keeping Thundercracker and BlackArachnia in the dark so far. Nobody else knows.
- Thundercracker and BlackArachnia, however, do know that 'Arsenal' had a hand in their current misery, whoever that bot is. Slipstream knows as well, if from an opposite viewpoint.
- Perceptor is aware that 'Nanashi' is a human who seems to know far too much.
- Skydive has spoken to 'Nanashi' once or twice and that he's willing to help. Cheetor knows that name as well. Skyfire has been asked for help with the shelter by that name.
- Soundwave is probably the most well-informed character out of everyone as to Trowa's real actions/motives, since that's who Trowa speaks with the most of botcast and with the most openness.

What do you know about other characters?
That would probably be easier to list out if specific people requested info on what he knows on their particular char. >_<

THE FUTURE
- Will be running around Jordan with Quatre from Jan. 8-13 but watching the comms during this time.
- Will have opened that shelter project of his on the 15th.
- Depending on when the timeswap shenanigans happen, will be his younger canon self at some point. This self may well react differently to plans/events than older Trowa.
- May die? May live? May kill someone? May save someone? May get someone killed? Or tortured? May flip his shit and attempt to bring things down around his ears? Might have deliriously happy ending? May become robot and forcibly somewhat programmed as a Decepticon for Screamer's kicks? I DON'T KNOW HELP ME OUT HERE AUGH.

SHORT TERM GOALS
- IDK something should probably get figured out about what they're going to do with their little spyboy, if anything.
- See also: inform Waspinator about who he is.
- OOCLY? Freak out anyone who was here when Optimus Prime was by making some kind of voice post as Arsenal. SOMEHOW.

Long-term
- Will have something--whether botcast related or not--that causes him to cut himself out of people's lives for a while and run away to go be alone and away from everyone/everything for their safety and his own sanity; this could be a month from now or this could be eight months from now. I just know that it's probably going to happen at some point. Not the when or why.
- Other plot-spoilery stuff that can't be mentioned yet sadly



IDK I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE CONTRIBUTED NOTHING BEYOND THE OBVIOUS but it is late and i'm not sure what else to put that I CAN put atm

Re: using Teal's format: Trowa

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

NO THIS IS STILL REALLY HELPFUL I PROMISE

Also what does he know about Starscream specifically :|a

Annnd I'll have more helpful stuff tomorrow.

Re: using Teal's format: Trowa

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

OH YEAH and he's pried a few times at Blurr about this supposed thing Shockwave did but I need to get back to that yes yes i do

[theprimerprime.livejournal.com]

What is your character planning/doing right now?
- Running the police force (like a boss).
- Running the prison (like a boss).
- Running the Autobots...like a boss? No seriously, what's there to run? WHAT HAPPENED TO US, GAIZ? And more importantly, how did Optimus put up with this stuff?
- Spending inordinate amounts of time with his new tank.
- Being a jerk.
- Creepering on everything Thundercracker does as long as he's in the superjail.
- Trying to lure in those Autobots who are kind of hanging out on the fringe of things. I'm looking at you, Blurr. And Skydive. And Perceptor. /fails at recruitment
- Suppressing the complete emotional clusterfuck he's having regarding Blackarachnia

What can other characters know about what this character is planning/doing?
You know, for once in life, I don't think Sentinel has anything to hide. CLEARLY THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. His alliance with GLaDOS has already blown up in his face, though in a rather different way than originally planned, and at this point I'm not sure how much, if anything, anyone knows about it having happened. I'm not sure how much, if anything, people know about his history with BA either. Other than Thundercracker, he seems to have been pretty well clued in.

What does your character know about what other people are doing/planning?
My ignorance and Sentinel's are one in the same. No, seriously. He has no fucking idea what's going on with the 'Cons right now. Outside of being obsessive over BA, he doesn't particularly care, either. He probably should, but...yeah. He doesn't.

Future business
I refuse to use categories because I don't have things planned well enough to divide into short-term and long-term goals.

Anyway, yeah. I know Arei and I have discussed some BA creepering on Sentinel action to occur in the near future. Being pushy with Blurr in the hopes of getting him over his Prime-phobia. And since I've failed completely at getting involved in plot things for the past...oh...two months, I should. Maybe. Get involved in more things. Yeah.

Other stuff...well, the stuff above regarding BA and GLaDOS is more than up for grabs for people to use against him in some way. I'd like to see him backed into some corner and completely screwing himself in the attempt to get out. More "come to the dark side" business with Starscream is always welcome. And I would really, REALLY like to kill him at some point. Heroically. The kind of death that says to people "wow, he's more than just some jackass who runs his mouth all the time", since I feel he was utterly deprived of his redemption (or any arc closure whatsoever, actually) in canon.

Longer term? Escalating hostility between him and Starscream. Possibly the end of the truce if the 'Cons are slowly becoming a legit threat. More complete and total leadership fail that he might actually LEARN from. And speaking of learning, I'd love for him to get a good thorough education on the other TF universes sometime, to learn about his alternate self and the Optimus Prime who is actually competant and awe-inspiring and stuff. He's heard bits and pieces. He doesn't believe half of it, and thinks the other half proves that everyone else's universes are backwards compared to his. He needs to be beaten over the head with this stuff.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

I'd love to help with death... ing, but maybe it'd be better for someone not in Botcast to do it... hmmm.

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

For recruiting Skydive, dangle a history book over the door of the base and then nab him when he goes to rescue it. :|

Skydive would also be willing to fill Sentinel in on the history/workings of his universe as far as he knows..except he only has three weeks and who-knows-how-many hours of studying and experience to draw from. So, yeah.

i broke the comment limit by listing everything that popped into my head.

[notsoloyal]

WHAT HE'S DOING
   • Freaking out over FINALLY acknowledging that his emotions he mostly got rid of, are back WITH A VENGANCE because of his human body. Trying not to freak out because that also implies emotion.
   • Unsure of what the heck he's doing with Soundwave, since he knows he's pretty much attached. Somewhat trying to convince himself that he's just manipulating him in his favor, should he ever need him for something - but logic is all "lying to yourself is illogical you idiot" so that's not really working out so well. And then there was the whole "yeah sure we can experiment" which is also bashing around inside his head going "you are so NOT being manipulative with him anymore don't even try and lie to yourself. you like him, it's illogical to deny this. even if it's illogical to like him in the first place".
   • Pretty much trying to superglue himself to logic.
   • Trying to manipulate everything that moves that isn't Soundwave.
   • Trying to keep a close eye on Starscream.
   • Looking for a way to find out more about Perceptor now that he knows about the amazing aim and vision thing. Contemplating asking him for tea. Also hoping that letting him know he can fly AND building him his guns works out as planned.
   • Working at StarWave, doing... stuff.
   • Experimenting on small animals and bugs.
   • Watching Quatre (GOOD JOB TROWA). And also Blurr.
   • Forever stalking Cheetor. His Maximal buddy.
   • And Ranamon too because she's made from data~
   • Studying biology and human bodies/how to improve them/heal them etc.
   • Collecting data.

INTO THE FUTURE
   • COCKROACH ARMY. Yes really. Alternatively bug army. He's experimenting with those things for a reason. But I'm not saying anymore.
   • Get more things to experiment on.
   • Completely loose it and have a hard time snapping himself out of it. He can't control the sensation of emotions, so he must suffer in this body more.
   • Possibly die at one point or another because the memory loss will torment him seeing as knowledge is his greatest desire.

SHORT TERM GOALS
   • Science and manipulation.
   • Get more of iguana Grimlock's love, so the thing doesn't bite him as much.

LONG TERM GOALS
   • Slowly come to terms with emotions, and learn how to control them effectively.
   • Do more serious plotting, because he's mostly just sitting back right now.
   • Experiment on improving organics. Possibly done on frogs. Unless he's crazy enough to try humans.

watch me forget like everything important ever.

[notsoloyal]

WHAT PEOPLE KNOW
   • He's very picky about stuff involving Grimlock (including you kill/hurt my lizard and the same will happen to you), and that he's only doing certain experiments on him based around his abilities - but not what the experiments are.
   • That he doesn't like dinosaurs or sharkticons.
   • That he was pretty attached to Blitzwing.
   • He really REALLY likes tea.
   • For a guy ruled by logic he can be pretty darn snarky.
   • If they are capable of hacking then everything in this thread as the entire thing was recorded.
   • That he makes pink peanut butter pancakes.
   • He likes chess.
   • He's responsible for helping kidnap Waspinator that one time Starscream died.
   • He's very observant and probably not so trustworthy. Is a scientist who is very obsessive with experimenting.
   • The extra observant might notice he tends to semi-stalk Soundwave.
   • Likes TV and watches soaps.
   • There's something about Alaska that means something to him.
   • For the sake of listing things... Cavil knows Cybertron's size, what it's made of, what it orbits, and what kind of atmosphere it has.
   • Chronos also has information on transwarp energy.
   • He doesn't get along with Starscream or Waspinator.
   • The Decepticons that were around when he first arrived know he was ruler of Cybertron.
   • He's the only Cybertronian from his universe.
   • He helped out during the HIVE attack despite saying it was a bad idea.
   • He keeps lists on people's abilities.
STARSCREAM KNOWS:
   • His entire past, hooray!
   • That he's insane because of the Matrix.
   • That he's got emotions.
   • He should have some idea that he's got a bit of a temper.
   • What he's like during his breakdowns.
SOUNDWAVE KNOWS:
   • The origins of his scar.
   • Cybertron's shut down and how he rebuilt it, gained control and kept it. Including how he left the Decepticons that were on Earth there, until he saw fit to get them and then defeated Megatron because logic dictated so.
   • That Megatron had stopped his attempts at returning Cybertron to peace before. And that he doesn't really like Megatron anymore - Meg's lost his loyalty.
   • Why he likes triple changers. And that Blitzwing was his lieutenant and bodyguard.
   • That he's got emotions. And did before but he removed them.
   • All of his abilities (minus a few details in the radiation area, since he never asked about those, but he'd give him is he asked).
   • Some of his desires.
   • That he has a sensitive back.
   • Pffft if Shocky slept on him in Alaska then he probably knows that when he wakes up his x-ray vision tends to kick in for a few seconds.
   • That he's the only one Shockwave trusts completely.
   • When he's fighting with his logic too much it causes him pain.
   • What he's like when he has a breakdown.
   • That he forgets to eat a lot and lives on tea.
   • Massive ego.
   • A crapload more secrets.

but it's almost 6am. i cannot be blamed.

[notsoloyal]

PERCEPTOR KNOWS:
   • He can fly.
   • That he rebuilt Cybertron.
   • About how the Matrix is the key to Vector Sigma and how study of that Cybertron and Scourge helped gain knowledge on rebuilding the planet. Alpha Trion is Vector Sigma's guardian. Vector Sigma dictates Cybertron's evolution.
   • He's not the most loyal Decepticon.
SLIPSTREAM KNOWS:
   • He can fly.
WASPINATOR KNOWS:
   • The 'Cons are responsible for Robot!Week.
CHEETOR KNOWS:
   • All of his radiation powers - but not the flight.
   • When he wakes up his x-ray vision kicks in for a few seconds.

WHAT HE KNOWS
   • Blurr's connection to the Shockwave of his world and how he was betrayed and killed by him.
   • All the fun stuff here
   • Starscream's change of plans concerning Nanashi.
   • That Starscream beat up Soundwave once as punishment. HE'S WATCHING YOU SCREAMS.
   • Info about the TF:A's universe AllSpark.
   • Random info bits on the Fallen that exists in Bayverse.
   • PLEASE ASK FOR OTHER STUFF. OH COMMENT LIMIT WHY DO YOU EXISTS.

i will never be coherent.

[notsoloyal]

SECRET PLOTTING BEHIND EVERYONE'S BACKS.
   • As Starscream hasn't won his loyalty (he does have loyalty to be won I swear, it's just one of the hardest things on the planet to do and harder to keep) he's still plotting to overthrow him when he messes up big time. This includes a lot of the manipulating he's already been doing. Because of what happened when he attempted to experiment on Starscream's spark, he's going to be extra cautious and not implement this plan unless it is 100% logical - ego pushed so far aside.

   • He still has all his cloning research from long ago (read: during the summer) but it was pushed aside for the creation of the Biobliterator. He'll get back to this project eventually.

   • Remember that apartment he used to live in, before he was invited to Deceptibase? He still owns it. Only GLaDOS and Soundwave ever knew where it was. He keeps some very important things (notes and stuff) in there. I'm listing this here because this is the place he'll often disappear to when he's can't be anywhere else. So if he's avoiding the 'Cons ever this is likely where he'll be.

   • Bug army. HE'S MAKING SOME INSECTICONS OF HIS VERY OWN.

   • So that work he's doing on Grimlock and the other animals. And that trip to Alaska? That talk of how Bayverse had star eaters for energy, and the fact that he's completely insane and obsessed with Vector Sigma and what he learnt from it. He's established that this Earth is not as significant as his Earth, but primary functions still demand conquest. The planet otherwise is still incredibly similar, so he's altering his plans he had for his Earth to match up with this one. Since Soundwave followed him to Alaska and he let him watch everything he did there if 'Wave Bro wanted, he probably knows some of the details of what he's doing, or at least has some idea that Shockwave is up to something.

   • I think that's everything I can currently list.

[pacifister]

WHAT IS HE DOING
- Running Winner Corporation to the best of his abilities. Winner Corp makes roughly fifty billion in revenue. Or will anyway, once it's been around a bit longer. Winner Corp is currently known for dealings in exploration, production, refining and exporting oil, as well as exploration and production of natural gas, and the exploration, production, and refinement of various metals and stones.
- Still just living in a tiny one bedroom apartment in Morningside Heights (probably in Morningside Gardens) with Trowa.
- Helping Trowa out as much as he can.
- Making plans for some serious shit depending on mod approval.
- Attempting to find out more about the Decepticons that Trowa's been hanging out with; namely Shockwave and Soundwave (and Ravage). Especially Shockwave because TEA and CHESS.
- Also getting to know a few Autobots, namely Perceptor. Will attempt to do more while on hiatus, but can't promise anything.
- Watching the network for anything. Attempting to hack any what might be considered suspicious posts. At some point, I'll actually remember that and start asking people about it. I keep forgetting due to the 'unhackable' stuff that goes up around the comms these days.
- Worrying about Trowa and attempting to prepare himself for whatever might happen.

WHAT OTHERS KNOW
GENERAL:
- Trowa knows just about every move Quatre makes.
- Anyone that was around in the beginning of November will be aware that Quatre's earth manipulation powers enable him to destroy buildings at will. Anyone that was around when this post went up will have a much better idea of the extent of his powers. The video has since been wiped as cleanly from the network as he can, but scrambled traces of it might be found if you know where to look, and permission for anyone that was here at the time to have downloaded it are cool if you'd like. Quatre's empathy/telepathy is unknown, but it's very clear to anyone paying attention to the incidents above that Quatre has a very fragile psyche.
- That he is the CEO and owner of Winner Corporation.
- That his name is Quatre Raberba Winner. He made this public knowledge when Winner Corporation put up notice that it was hiring.
- Designation: Sandrock is also known, but not the true meaning of the word.
- Anyone around during the HIVE plot is also free to know about the Sentinels that were reprogrammed to act as faux mobile suits.
- He plays the violin very well for someone his age.
- Exactly what he looks like thanks to his this post.
- Likes tea.
- Is considered royalty in his own world.
- Intelligent and a formidable hacker on par with some of the better hackers in comm that aren't technopaths.
- Very important to Trowa/Nanashi.
TROWA KNOWS
- That the Sentinels have since been taken offline and about the existance of the XXXM-01SR Mobile Suit Sandrock (or Sandrock II).
- That Quatre is of Arab decent.
- About anything up to where Quatre was taken from in canon, including the being stabbed and likely dead bit.
- Not as nice as everyone might think sometimes.
- Can kick your ass if he wants to.
- His future mobile suit plans.
- The dog's name is Gundam. Or G for short.
- Things not appropriate for this post.
STARSCREAM
- See GENERAL.
Soundwave
- See GENERAL.
- Also knows that Quatre is a strategist and will help him if he asks.
Shockwave
- See GENERAL.
- That Quatre is ridiculously nice and will offer friendship to anyone who stays still long enough.
Perceptor
- See GENERAL.

WHAT HE KNOWS
- Anything that Trowa knows, he knows, so yeah.

I only broke the comment limit a little.

[pacifister]

THE FUTURE
- Will be in Jordan with Trowa from January 8-13, but will be watching the network.
- Winner Corp will be running smoothly and has already begun to branch out internationally, including into the Middle East.
- Assisting Trowa with his shelter.
- May be tortured? Killed? Kill someone? May just flip his shit again and level a city? May just flip his shit and curl up into a corner? I HAVE NO IDEA.

SHORT-TERM GOALS
- Continue to 'make friends' with various bots.
- Probably going to be used as bait for Trowa; or as another experiment by Shockwave.
- Come up with some kind of strategy to deal with this mess.

LONG TERM GOALS
- Breaking his eternal optimism and hope that everyone just wants peace and love and view things a little more realistically. May be stuck in :| mode for a good while and bury himself into his work.
- Secret plotting that I'm still waiting on permission for, but it might make things very interesting if approved.

[pacifister]

Oh and Shockwave probably knows some personal stuff about Quatre thanks to stealing info from Trowa, but I'm not sure what that is. Grimm has a list?

Skydive?

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

Now
-Oh, hey, Bumblebee. Another person with a familiar name and unfamiliar world. :(
-Reading. Lots and lots and lots and lots of reading. Also lots of aimless walking.
-Drawing map-things for emergency plans
-Missing his teammates. Quietly freaking out over the fact he's been here over half his life already.
-Being slightly depressed over the fact he's fairly certain he can't fly. :(
-CHESS
-Wondering where Nanashi went. And Shockwave. And Skyfire.
-Wondering where Starscream went.
-Being twitchy about Starscream. Mostly because of above.
-Discovering that he really likes to cook.
-Stalking people over the network.

What others can know

-That he's having faction loyalty issues.
-He's an Aerialbot/Autobot
-He's worried he can't fly
-That he really likes history and books
-Asks lots of freaking questions sometimes

If you happen to stalk him/know him in any capacity beyond one conversation

-That he goes to library religiously
-That he often takes walks
-That he will offer you food at some point

Bakura
-Skydive's mimicking ability
-That Skydive's discovered chess
-That Skydive really misses his teammates

Blurr
-Where he lives
-Skydive's maps

Blackarachnia
-Where he lives

Perceptor
-Where he lives
-VERY SOON. That he can't read.

Knows?
Well, he's fairly certain Starscream's planning something, because that's sort of the default. Whether this is true doesn't really matter. He thinks it.

Whatever else he's been told, idk.

That Blurr has issues with Shockwave.

FUTURE
-Guys, guys, he's going to come into himself as a strategist/planning-guy/stalker-person/control-slash-order-freak soon and start collecting data. He's already started keeping tabs on people over the network.
-Accidentally emotionally attaching himself to Perceptor because he's an Autobot with a familiar name who doesn't confuse him with faction-loyalty issues. Looking at you, Shockwave. Sorry, Perceptor.

GOALS
-Get thrown off a building.
-Possibly talk more with the other Autobots
-Talk more with anyone, really.
-Learn to dance. And have issues with his mimicing aiblity while doing so.
-I want him to die at some point. I just don't know how.
-I also want Skydive to learn about his dissolving-through-touch power, but he hasn't gotten upset enough for it yet.
-Get thrown off a building. Preferably with someone there to catch him.
-Stop hanging in limbo and actually settle on a side

Re: Skydive?

Percy loves you and wants you to be with the Autobots. He also is a little on the side of doesn't-want-skydive-to-have-to-fight-at-all because that's not a fate he wishes on anyone, and he's seen a lot of other young reckless bots end up as scrap. Some of which was his fault (oooops).

Starscream wants you to be with the Decepticons. Preciousssssssss flier.

This leaves the player conflicted XDDD.


I'm not sure how much Skydive knows about Percy, but it's probably extremely clear that while he's similar in many ways to the Percy Skydive knows, he's... very different. I can't remember if Percy's mentioned the whole "Oh yes, and my world is deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad" thing yet.

WHAT IS HE DOING/PLANNING?
- Hanging around Shockwave a lot. A loooot. He cares and is becoming kind of terribly possessive.
- Trying to figure out what to do about his loyalty programming, if he should override it or buckle under its influence.
- Trying to keep Trowa alive for the moment.
- Quickly losing any sense of loyalty to Starscream, which mainly started after Screamer beat the crap out of him twice. This most recent bout of orders hasn't really helped.

WHAT CAN OTHER PEOPLE KNOW?
It all varies. He's the most honest with GLaDOS and Shockwave, and partly with Trowa. Otherwise, Soundwave is an extremely secretive person. I would say, of course, his main weakness/sensitivity can be known would be his relationship with Ravage. SO I GUESS. UM. ASK?

WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?
More than you'd probably like. Soundwave is very observant of others. So it really just boils down to what your character has admitted out loud without expecting him to listen -- or confessed to him because you're silly enough to trust him.

ANY PARTICULAR GOALS?
- Seriously considering having him kill off Starscream, because Screamer is making that decision very easy. He's mainly capable of considering this by rerouting the whole loyalty "programming" to being loyal to the Decepticon cause. Is Screamer useful for the cause? Maybe. However, that's coming into question lately for several reasons -- primarily, Starscream's cowardice when faced with the potential threat of Galvatron.
- MAYBE KNOCK OFF SENTINEL TOO?
- What to do about the loyalty issue. Were Soundwave to ditch the programming somehow entirely, it would open up to interesting plot since he'd have no ties to anything or anyone. So perhaps it would be a temporary thing if someone considers "helping" him by getting rid of it and realizing that it wasn't really such a wise idea.
- GENERALLY. JUST. Doing something terrible/villainous. Yep.

/wants to see this villainy yes (and to a smaller, more frightened degree, the 'i has no loyalty' version as well although hoshit that's gonna be scary if you do that)

/also willing to talk/plan about any of the 'what to do with this human kid' business if you ever want to/need to

[borrowyourpower.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS SHE DOING/PLANNING?
- Creepering on Sentinel.
- Stalking every post ever over the network.
- She plans to visit with Thundercracker.
- If my little tiny plot thing gets okayed there's a little WTF/hideousness that will be going down. Assuming I don't just say forget about it.
- Trying to get back her damn memories.
- Being bored (when she's not reading) and feeling rather useless.
- She was supposed to make a post about having Sasami's powers but the mun never said if that was okay or not...so...yeah...
- Um...I got nothing else. I really suck at this.

WHAT CAN OTHER PEOPLE KNOW?
Um...whatever she's made public over the network. Which is pretty much every conversation ever with the exception of I think one with Skydive.

IDK I'd have to go look at my post list (http://borrowyourpower.livejournal.com/1246.html).

WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?
Only what has been said publicly over the network. She does more stalking than she does talking.

ANY PARTICULAR GOALS?
...Getting her memories back is number one on her list. After that...IDK.

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

There was a private conversation with Skydive where they were gossiping about Sentinel behind Sentinel's back. But Skydive is a gossiping failure so it didn't last long.

Also, BA, why such a stalker?
