Character Introductions and Plotting post!

[re_alignedmods]

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~

Do I even need to point out that KO's not going to be a happy camper when he wakes up? After all, someone's tattooed him without his consent. How gauche!

Never mind that he's, you know, all limpy and not actually able to use his alt-mode very well because of the beating he took in "Tunnel Vision". So that's going to be a lot of fun for him.

Anyone wanna deal with a panicky, aggressive, but probably not all that dangerous Decepticon doctor who's priorities are a little screwed up? (You KNOW he's going to be very preoccupied with trying to scratch off that Mark of Primus...)

Oh, and for all you squishies/Earth-originating critters, he speaks English~.

[docbot]

Oh my god, Ratchet is going to make fun of him for that Mark specifically just to piss him off. "It matches my colouring much better than it does yours." XDD

NO RUDE

HE'S TRAUMATIZED ENOUGH

I MEAN, IT'S PURPLE

HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A 'CON BADGE BECAUSE HIS RED IS NOT A RED THAT'S WELL COMPLEMENTED BY PURPLE

[docbot]

R IS FOR RUDE IS FOR RATCHET

OBVIOUSLY THE ONLY SOLUTOIN

IS TO REPAINT

AND OH HEY

HERE IS

A BUCKET

THAT RATCHET JUST FOUND

IN THE JUNK PILE









RUN >D

[organ_pharming]

Skeevy medic bros? Skeevy medic bros.

[automobile_enthusiast]

Oh hell yes skeevy medic bros.

How'd you like some exquisitely hand-crafted replacement hands?

...At...some point, probably not right away.......

[organ_pharming]

Need them kind of quick, broski.

Let's hope he doesn't think the same thing as Ratchet regarding medic hands.

[sword_redemption]

/glues you to Pharma

/tries to convert you from your Decepticon ways

[automobile_enthusiast]

NOOOO do you have any idea what glue is going to do to his finish?????

HAH good luck with that >:D

[sword_redemption]

YOu can be Ebil Medics together. *cues up appropriate theme song

Awww, come on, messing with Drift's goody-goodiness could be fun.

[deusexraf]

oh man not you

[automobile_enthusiast]

ew it's a skin job

get out you're going to shed your detritus on him

[deusexraf]

at least he's not scratched up to almighty hay

[raceme]

Another sport car, HI!


...you know, you should really have a Decepticon badge, it helps intelligent agents to tell the bad guys apart -3-

[automobile_enthusiast]

Oh come now, why would he want to make it so easy on you Autobots, hm~?

Because Knock Out is easy? • ヘ(°￢°)ノ

jumping in with an idea

[not_halfbaked]

I volunteer Korra! It'd be fun if Knock Out was the first Cybertronian she met.

Now Korra's experiences with robots (or the closest thing to them) are the steampunkish, retro, piloted-by-a-human kind, so more like Mecha tanks. That were attacking her. And she only associates 'robots' with Equalists, a group of nonbenders who violently fight back for greater equality with the benders. Korra is a major target as the Avatar, like the uber-bender and a historical symbol for benders.

Anyway, instead of immediately attacking, Korra notices the robot seems messed up and making pained noises, so it sounds like its pilot is hurt. Korra hesitates, and decides to help the probable Equalist out, thinking he or she is trapped and hurt inside the damaged robot, which probably won't be getting up to attack her anytime soon...and hey, she could probably question the Equalist pilot about where the hell she is.

Cue Korra's shock when she realizes there's no human inside but the robot still talks on its own and has a mouth and eyes....

Picture of the closest thing to a robot Korra knows here: http://images.wikia.com/avatar/images/f/f8/Mecha_tanks.png

And more info on them here: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Mecha_tank

Oh man yes?? It probably wouldn't be KO's very first encounter, as he's going to wake up tangled up with Ratchet, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's limping a little harder than before when he finally makes it away from that particular encounter. Having Korra find him and mistake him for a piloted mecha around that point would be great!

[not_halfbaked]

Cool, I'd love to do it!

So I would wait for your and Ratchet's convo to end first before starting that, right?

Probably even just KO limping and making pained sounds would make Korra hesitate before outright attacking.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hey KO.

This guy might just scratch you to get some kicks.

[automobile_enthusiast]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

C'mon Jackie have pity, look at how banged up he is already! He's going to have scars at this rate!!

[dontasktrix]

This girl will ignore the whole ground vehicle thing if she learns he's a medic. Those are strategically useful and stuff. Not that I assume he wants to be helpful, but she is likely bigger than K.O.

[automobile_enthusiast]

Luckily for her, KO finds it strategically useful to cooperate with anyone who's bigger and more powerful than him. :'D;;;

At this point, maybe not even Breakdown is ready for this hot mess. (jk)
