Character Introductions and Plotting post!

Gooood evening everybody!

The official opening start time for Re/Alignment will be June 21st, 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific. (For those across the globe, feel free to poke us in here for clarification on this.)

Since this is less than two days away, we're putting up this post for everyone to introduce their characters in, and maybe start plotting who will be waking up next to or on top of whom! Will there be fights breaking out over the choicest pieces of junk on the junk pile? Medics trying to remove the mysterious glyphs? Problems understanding Japanese/Cybertronian before communicators are given out?

Jump in and find out~

This is Jayde, bringing in Noisy Boy from Real Steel.

This video is a fairly good summary of him, but he's basically a washed-up boxing robot built in Japan, that looks like and emulates samurai. He cannot speak in a proper voice himself (though he gears and hydraulics do whine) but he will be able to understand English upon first arrival. However he does have Japanese kanji across his chest (that translates to his name, more or less) and LED screens in his forearms that flash different kanji every few seconds (all of which are listed here) for any Japanese speakers!

For the curious, his combo-listing console is going to be wedged in between some sections of back plating, and the headset that controls him will be around his neck.

Mostly he will just be trying to figure things out, but if a fight breaks out he will very carefully avoid it; you are all using illegal fight moves and he doesn't want another decappuccino.

Ah hi! After the thread we did on d_m, I'm really excited to see you here! I don't want to force Ratchet on Noisy, but I'd really enjoy it if they could get close and have all the awkward "BUT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN FIGHTINGGG" interactions :D

I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN SO MUCH Noisy is not going to understand Ratchet's point of view at all. "BUT I AM BUILT FOR FIGHTING I DON'T EVEN HAVE ACTUAL HANDSSSSSS."

At the very least, Ratchet vaguely resembles a WRB bot (though admittedly is over height regulations), so Noisy is bound to get curious at some point :D

L;KAJS;LDK THEN LET'S DO IT Oh man, Ratchet is probably going to end up building Noisy hands. This is the only solution. ~~And then they can play Cat's Cradle with telephone lines because that is a legitimate test of dexterity :|~~

Clearly this is the best solution of all, and Noisy will totally go with it as long as he can keep his LEDs. THIS SHALL BE DONE! ~~This is a good test of dexterity... if only Noisy Boy understood the rules of Cat's Cradle :(~~

Ratchet can do this! And he'll probably also muck around with figuring out vocal processors for him. Although if you want to keep Noisy Boy mute, at the very least, maybe he can figure out a way to make the LEDs flash words at speaking pace?

Vocal processors might be the best idea. His creator originally programmed those LEDs after all. He's very attached to them ~~because daaaaaaaaaad ;A;~~.
Besides I have this horrible idea of him having a bizarre Japanese/Brazilian combo accent for his voice.

A-awww. Daaaaaaad ;A;

... I don't even know what that accent would sound like, but it sounds magical.

Noisy misses his dad Tak Mashido so hard sometimes.

I don't either, but it seems appropriate since he was made in Japan and upgraded in Brazil and probably spent the most time in those two countries.

d-darling boy ;A;

I require lots of awkward clanking hugs at some point. because reasons. and all my tears.

Oh heck, I just youtubed a brazilian accent, and I think the combination of that and a Japanese accent would end up with ... hmm. Something very percussive, yet almost melodic sounding, if that makes sense? Also, very round vowels and a loss of most of the w/v differentiation.

AKA: kid's gonna sound pretty adorable c:

I am always down for awkward robot hugs. Especially over the sads in two robots' lives.

And listening to both accents on YouTube, I think I get what you're saying. Whoops, put the nail in the coffin that is Noisy Boy's cute factor :3

I am so excited for the game to start. Even more than I was.

and I don't even know your name ;lasjfdlaksj;fdlk *dies*

Fffff hahah THAT'S OKAY. I am Jayde and it is awesome to meet you!

NOISY BOY YOU REMIND BLURR OF PROWL...which is a good thing. Samurai-looking robots are rarely Decepticons.

And technically in some TF universes the cybertronians can understand robot noises just as they're words, Bee speaks that way. Idk if they will be able to understand each other since Noisy Boy didn't use those sounds as a language in the movie but it can be done if you can.

He doesn't even know what Decepticons are, so there we go!

I mostly play it as a way for him to insert some kind of emotion rather than actual words, as a suppliment to head and arm gestures. I'm sure they will be able to figure out the basics of a conversation in some way. Though Noisy Boy will have to catch up to Blurr's talking, it's awfully fast XD

They are meaaaaaaaan .3.

I luff me some mute characters and Blurr sure talks enough for the both of them XD Yeah I apologize in advance for him.

If they are anything like Midas he can empathize. Bot has some anger issues :\

And you don't have to apologize! I love me some Blurrs X3

No.

They are worse.

:/ MUCH WORSE.

But damn, Midas was terrifying.

Aww good ♥

Midas is terrifying and also uses illegal fight moves.
Which is the worst, brobot.

Noisy has skewed opinions on morality, oops.

Cheating is a NO NO in Blurr's book too >B|

That's okay, so do all the Autobots. Double standardsare common in the Transformers universe

Have you seen this picture?:

alsdkjfsljf yes I love that picture! All the bots are just too cute. Poor Ambush looks so dejected and Noisy and Midas are just up there picking on each other.

Ambush needs more cuddles, yo. Poor robots, he was so cool. I love Noisy's design a lot.

Ambush needs the world's biggest hug. The artist did such a good job on the humanized robot designs in general, but Noisy's is my ~~very biased~~ favorite.

He so does. Poor man, getting crushed by a bull. He's my favorite but yes, the artist did a great job, specially with Midas.

Didn't even get the dignity of a last fight with another bot. Just gets his leg popped off by a bull.
