Scorponok - Reserved

[personal profile] technokalissues 2011-12-31 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Personality ] :
Scorponok is a minion. Since he had been protoformed, he’d been in the lower denomination of Predacon society, and that, to be honest, was the way he liked it. It was simple, clean, and he knew exactly where he belonged. The job of ‘master/leader/boss’ is currently held by Megatron, and Scorponok is slavishly loyal to him. Anyone who dares to imply that Megatron might not be the best leader is due to an attack from him, as if he lets that go, then what use would he be?

Most of the time, he represses his own thoughts on Megatron, if they don’t fit what he thinks of as fitting how he should be thinking about Megatron. These days, without Dinobot there to shield him from the full brunt of Megatron’s anger, these thoughts are coming far more often then he likes. Scorponok finds himself spending more and more time repressing and redirecting his thoughts and anger at Megatron. He spends time with Inferno as a sort of penitence tool- if he thinks poorly of one of Megatron’s plans or is tempted to snark back at him, then he spends time with the ant in order to get his mind back in the proper mindset.

That said, he doesn’t bow down to everyone. He has a backbone; he just only shows it when Megatron isn’t there. He’s inclined to snarl and snark at his teammates, and he delights in shooting the Maximals, and not just because he knows it brings him scant favor in Megatron’s eyes. He’s a low level sadist, and he delights in seeing his enemies cower before him. Unfortunately, he’s also a coward, and isn’t all that good at fighting. He has a low level AI drone that he’s programmed, his Cyberbee, and he dotes over it, always trying to upgrade it- all in the plan to be more worthy of Megatron’s favor, of course. The problem is, he’s more than a little inept at programming AIs, and his nanotoxins don’t always do what he plans. Most of the time, they backfire on him, which just makes him all the more determined to do better next time. As such, he’s a workaholic, and he tends to forget to recharge and fuel up, which just adds to his inability at times, not that he ever connects the dots.

He’s insecure about his position as 2IC and it shows. He is always trying to push his will on his teammates, and in response, they react with distain, as the only reason he got the rank was because he was the only loyal one of Megatron’s minions. He hates the thought of anyone betraying Megatron, and has been known to attack his own teammates at the implication that they were disloyal.


[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
He has been able to shoot a toxin from his tail, although, as it was only the once, it evidently is a difficult feat, and most likely uses up much of his fuel, as well as the neurotoxin being slow to accumulate. He’s used this exactly once in the entire show.

His alt is an extremely large scorpion.

Also inherent to his species is an inbuilt form of almost-telepathy. It’s really just a secure shortwave transmission over a communications frequency, but it seems to act like telepathy, unless the person receiving it decides to let it play out loud.

He has Infrared vision that he seems to be able to toggle on and off.

He can shoot missiles from his claw.

His other claw is where his cyberbee drone hooks up. When they aren’t hooked together, Scorponok can control the cyberbee through what seems to be a mental bond, but is mostly likely a modified version of the transmission frequency.

Scorponok made the cyberbee, evidently, from scratch, and has been shown to have some level of technical ability, from working on neurotoxins to fixing random machinery around their ship.

His main source of energy is something called energon. In this universe, it’s a crystal, although in other universes it’s been a liquid, leading to the idea that it’s mostly refined in those forms, as this is raw energon in the Beast Wars series. Thankfully, Scorponok has a fuel converter that turns mostly anything organic into a replacement fuel. It’s not efficient, which means he needs to eat far more often than he would need to otherwise, but it works.

[ Other Important Facts ] :
When he’s under a lot of stress, he falls into third person. This level of stress is fairly well defined as ‘being trapped in a half collapsed ship without protection against a cannibal who would love nothing more than to eat/molest him’.

Like all Cybertronians, his soul takes corporeal form as a ball of glowing energy located in his chest.


[ Sample ] :


Scorponok reset his optic sensors, and then sent a scan out. It… didn’t make sense. One second, he was watching Dinobot about to blow up at Lord Megatron like the idiot he was, and then the next-

Well, the next, he was here. Wherever the frag ‘here’ was. His scan was actually more conclusive than he’d thought it would be. He was underwater, in a secure environment with no signs of leaks or, for that matter, energon. Cautiously, he transformed, looking around. This- this wasn’t good. He didn’t see anyone else around, not Megatron, not Dinobot, not even Waspinator or- primus forbid, Tarantulas. His claws clack, and he has to consciously stop it, Megatron hated it when he did that. He forced himself to calm and deployed his drone, which had reformatted to look like a flying insectiod, similar to Waspinator’s new alt. The sight of his greatest accomplishment calmed him a bit, and he spent a few minutes ensuring that their link was working properly and the water that was dripping everywhere hadn’t interfered with it’s internals.

Eventually, he sat down on the floor and pulled out a toolkit from a storage space in his arm, starting to tinker with the internals of his drone. For as long as they were left undisturbed, the only movement from his area was the slight twitches of the tips of his claws, and the occasional flutter of his drone’s wings.

Here is my new sample.

Sample
I smile at Clank, sitting up and letting my ears up more. His words are really helping me right now. Maybe he's right. Maybe I have fulfilled my purpose. Tachyon is gone, I've not only avenged my Father but all the other Lombax's that died during his betrayal. And in the end, Clank and I are close again. I really didn't like us fighting over the Dimensionator but I was blind to just how much of a threat it was. Clank was right like he always was and he stuck with me like he always does.

And then it happens. The air seems to burst open as a swirling portal of light and blue clouds appear above us. Three small creatures come through, black bodies with purple skin and blue eyes. I'm shocked when I see them and hear them talking to Clank.

“Whoa, Clank. Are these the Zoni?” I don't get an answer before they grab Clank, their energy knocking me back. I hit the ground with a thud, my mind whizzing now. No. This can't be happening. I sit up, my heart racing as I see them lift him towards that portal. They're taking my best friend away. I won't let that happen. I stand up, ignoring their words to Clank. I don't care what they're saying to him. I'm not letting him go!

“Let. Him. Go.” I growl when I'm finally on my feet again. I jump up, my arm outstretched. I almost have him, my fingers just about to wrap around his arm. But I don't feel him. Instead there is a flash of light and I'm hit with something invisible. I grunt as I'm slammed back into the ground, the air knocked out of my lungs. I can't let this happen, I can't. I get up, my back throbbing in pain, my lungs burning from the air forced out of them.

“Clank!” I call out to him, trying to get through. Why isn't he struggling? Why doesn't he fight back? I know the Zoni have to be doing something to him. He wouldn't willingly leave me like this. They make it into the portal and it collapses in on itself, taking the Zoni and Clank with them. I stare up at the empty air, my eyes wide and my ears hanging low. No...this can't be. Clank's gone...again. I haven't felt like this since Reepor when I thought he was dead. He's gone again, stolen from me and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I stand there, holding my wrist as I realize it's hurting from my fall. But that pain is nothing compared to the pain of losing him again.

I slowly look over at everyone else here. Talwyn, Cronk, Zephyr, Rusty Pete, and Qwark. They're all silent, staring at me as I look at them all. They're all here too but my eyes slowly turn toward the ground. I can still feel their eyes on me. They're as shocked as I am, sad, all looking with worried faces. Clank's always been there for me and now I've lost him a second time. I feel alone, even with them all here. I feel all alone again.
