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~

Saeru here!

I'm bringing in McCrane, a sentient robot from earth and a member of the Japanese BRAVE POLICE force.

If you're small and human-shaped, he'll want to know you and protect you from threats, likely in a cool and efficient manner. It is his job. Small, human shapes that are capable of protecting themselves, however, will be somewhat new and surprising to him, but...hey, his best friend was a Colonel, and she was pretty kickass.

If you're large and robot-shaped, then obviously you are the threat. He will be watching you.
Of course, if you're large and robot-shaped and friendly, you will boggle him. Alien robots that talk and aren't trying to do something terrible aren't so common where he's from.
He probably won't shoot you.
Probably.
Very probably.

Just keep your weapons where he can see them, at least until he's gotten used to you.

McCrane speaks Japanese primarily, knowing a small bit of English where the two languages intersect (or where he picked it up from hearing Gunmax, but that is less than reliable.)

I am game for just about any shenanigans. Want to wake up in a pile with him? Be shot? Have delightful language barriers?

Its all good.

[raceme]

What if you are small, robot shaped and kinda friendly?

[mccrane]

Gun first, THEN friendship.

McCrane will not understand why they built you so small!

[raceme]

Sweet. Blurr's really hard to hit, thankfully, he runs like a mad man.

FOR VELOCITY! He was made for speed, big guy.

[mccrane]

Suddenly McCrane understands why they built you small.

Lookit you go. o.o

Wait.

If you're running, you're probably not a threat.

That, or you just committed a serious crime. -.o Hm.

[raceme]

c: ~♥ Aye, there was a reason why Primus blessed him with that speed.

I'm not a treat, I just enjoy racing のωの...or I am running away from a mean decepticon trying to kill me (╥﹏╥)

...I will stop with the emotes now...

[wakizashi_straight]

What about smallish robot-shaped things with no inclination hostility that are covered in Japanese writing... that's unfortunately hostile depending on the LED display?

Otherwise, language barriers!

[mccrane]

Look, we have to get that reprogrammed. x-x Do you even know what they're saying? You're like...a distraction to the public!

But anyhow, hello there fellow Japanese-made robot! Let us talk of how wonderful it is to be created on earth.

...

or, not, since it seems someone forgot to give you a mouth.

[wakizashi_straight]

N-nobody's reprogramming these, my creator programmed them! And I'm a WRB bot, people are supposed to pay attention to me!

... Hopefully Ratchet can help with this lack-of-a-voice issue.

And then we can talk of how wonderful it is to be created on earth! Especially being created in Japan, because they are clearly the best at robots.

not like any of this is in actual McCrane voice x-x

[mccrane]

Maybe a...safety covering, then. x-x

OH

Wait.

He'd get it. You were made for the Gumclaps rings in the Domingo Republic!

Which...is...the dumbest name for robot wrestling ever, but there you have it. Obviously, Japan is superior.

So where is your human?

this isn't in Noisy Boy voice either so there we go X3

[wakizashi_straight]

So much confusion about name differences for robot-based sports.

But they are the best part of the whole ridiculous arm-gimmick. Especially since his gimmick is otherwise 'outlandish rotation in arms and no hands'. But Japan is the best.

My creator is hanging out with his new bot and I can't find my handler. Which is weird, because he's really loud and annoying.

Yay voiceless tests!

[mccrane]

Wow, McCrane's impressed! His arm doesn't go back that far.

You could probably use some help in the hand department, though.

Unless you're going out for Robot Soccer in Brazil.

No?

Well, maybe its better your humans aren't here. There's not much to see, here.

The best tests of all!

[wakizashi_straight]

You should see it when he spins his forearm up, too. It's really cool!

Brazil is nice but I'm not much good at soccer; my programming prohibits kicking.

And it seems kind of dangerous, even for Charlie. But where is your human?

[engrishdetective]

HEY

MY ENGLISH IS TOTALLY RELIABLE, BABY

don't hate

[mccrane]

Oh god no one will understand either of them.

Neither will the translators.

Oh god.

Gunmax why do you love everybody.

[engrishdetective]

My heart is just so full of love. Obviously.

I can see Gunmax trying to translate, but it's so horribly accented lksdhklshfd
