Baku Sybre
Lone Samurai
Nickname: Baku
Gender: Male
Age: 75 million Earth years/ 35 Cybertronion Years
Home Planet: Cybertron
Home City State: Praxus
Faction: Neutral
Rank: Unknown
Occupation: Wanderer, Medic, Warrior

Armor: The headmaster portion of Baku's body has light, but very thick armor that, as mentioned earlier, resembles a Japanese samurai's armor. The armor of this main body is made of a composite of Cybertronion alloys and carbon nano-tubing that are thicker in areas that he has statistically gathered are weak spots on most warriors of his size and design. Armor on his main body is typically layered around the torso area and reinforced wherever joints are present so that limbs are not easily chopped off. Baku's armor in general is typically thick yet light, making it easy for him to move around swiftly and agilely despite his size. The thickness of his armor transfers into both of his alternate modes due to him having to compact some of the areas of his body and lengthen others, making the wings of his aircraft mode and the arms and legs of his dinosaurian mode exceptionally hard to damage.

Personality: Realistic most of the time, Baku is a silent optimist, typically reserved and only speaking when he believes something needs to be said. Being a neutral, he is no stranger to challenging authority, especially of those he deems dishonorable beings. His charisma skill seems to be lower than it actually is due to his seemingly anti-sociability with other Cybertronions, but he is actually rather charismatic once he gets talking to someone.
History: Born into a poor, dying family in Praxus via sparkmerge, Baku was forced to live and survive on the streets from a very young age with his step-sister, Socket. Living day by day off of what they could, the duo survived and fought together on the streets of the city-state until one day, after a run in with some thugs, Baku and Socket were taken in by a wise, elderly mech that the two only knew as "The Sage." The Sage trained and taught the duo more than just how to fight. He taught them how to heal, create, and have faith, faith that one day, something better would become of all of Cybertron.
When Baku was around 17 Cybertronion years old, The Sage left Praxus, leaving no trace or hint on his whereabouts. Shortly after, Socket left as well in the same fashion, leaving Baku on his own in the city. He decided to put the skills he had learned from The Sage to good use by going around the city, helping as many fellow Cybertronions with any ailments or injuries that he could.
Eventually, the medical community of the city-state gained wind of the young mech's achievements and decided to put him to the test. The medical council, headed by Ratchet, offered Baku a deal: Repair and heal an "unknown" ailment, created by an injury on a mech, and he could join the local medical academy and eventually practice the trade professionally. Baku agreed and, long story short, cured the patient of the ailment and repaired the injury successfully.
Soon after joining the academy, and after a few 'parties', Baku met Osla, a young and cheerful femme that was studying to become a teacher and combat medic. The duo met during a party after getting into an argument over the best way to make a High-Grade Energon cube that would get someone wasted after one cube of it, which eventually led to a fight. They actually had fun during the fight, but eventually just settled it the old fashioned way: trying the drinks for themselves. Baku won the argument, Osla ending up too drunk to walk correctly, meaning Baku had to take her back to the dorms.
After a long while of bickering, making up, and graduation from the academy, the two decided to finally get together after one of their friends, Gyous, tricked them and trapped them alone in a room together, Gyous wanting the duo to finally get their real feelings out.
The years after that proved fruitful. Baku and Osla went into their careers as medics and did pretty well together, the duo eventually spark-merging and creating a daughter, Meridia. Ten years after she was birthed, however, there was a terrorist attack on the school she was attending. Her body was not found among the online nor the offline, the authorities presuming she was dead due to the terrorists having been killed during the attack via bombs and guns. This dealt a heavy blow on Baku's mind as well as Osla, but the two kept trudging through life regardless until the beginning of the war.
Before the first battle of the war, Baku and Osla were transported to an outpost on the outskirts of Kaon to act as head medical officers of the base. A day after their arrival, the war broke out, Megatron leading the charge into the outpost and destroying all Autobots in his path, his Decepticons trailing closely behind him. During the battle, Baku and a few other mechs were crushed under the medical bay that was collapsing around them, the lot of them being left for dead as the rest of the Autobots were forced to either fight or retreat.
By the time the battle was over, Osla was dead and Baku severely wounded. Somehow, however, Baku managed to make his way out of the rubble and get to an Autobot outpost that hadn't been completely destroyed. After repairing and healing himself, Baku left Cybertron. His family was all dead, and for all he knew, Cybertron would fall, so he had no purpose in being on the planet anymore.
In his search for a new home, he came across Earth. The planet was curious to him, having carbon based lifeforms and all varieties of life as well. Unfortunately, Baku's alternative mode was not built for entry into an atmosphere like Earth's, so he ended up crash-landing on the planet's surface. When he came to, Baku surveyed the area he crashed in, scanning the remains of an organic life-form that was buried in the ground before he created the crater with his landing, transforming into it shortly afterwards. He was on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, during the 12th century AD. It was winter, and he had landed close to a village, so the locals were coming to see what was going on. They were very cautious in their approach to the crater, and they had every right to be, for when one of them stepped onto the rim of the crater Baku had created, Baku jumped out of the crater in his alternate form, scaring a few of the villagers and making the rest flee. One of the braver villagers asked if Baku was a dragon, and, having to find a way to survive on the planet, Baku said yes but no, that he was indeed a dragon but was more intelligent than the rest. The villager noted this and asked why Baku was in the crater. Baku in response told the villagers that he had fallen to Earth from a war with the gods, and that he was to remain on the Earth for as long as a million years. The villagers, still rather curious, told Baku would be allowed to live near the village as long as he swore to protect the village from foreign invaders. He agreed to their terms and dug a cavern into a nearby mountain so that he could stay near the village, yet stay out of sight from any curious foreign eyes. Baku would live near that village for centuries, integrating himself into their society by gaining the ability to transform down to human size by using his head as a headmaster unit, having to make his headmaster look like a samurai in order for the villagers to be more at ease about his appearance.
By the time that World War II came around, Baku had already traveled to one of the nearby military bases to find a new alternate mode for himself, a Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter plane. With this, and the fact that a young man from his village, known as Gakuya Takahashi, was to be a pilot in the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service (IJAAS), it was the perfect chance for Baku to get involved in the war. To blend in and not raise suspicion, however, he had to allow himself to get shot down several times, one time for every five enemy fighters or bombers he managed to take down. At the end of the war, he returned to the village with the pilot to find it war-torn. Devastated, and seeing that there were Allied forces in the village as well, Baku had to remain under strict secrecy, only able to go out and about within the village when he was in his headmaster, samurai-like form with a hologram over him to help him look more human. During those years of hiding, there was much tension between the locals and the Allied soldiers, which Baku had to help stop as a translator and negotiator.
During the decades following the end of the war and the Allied occupation, Baku faded into legend in the village, but he tended visit the families he had befriended there time and time again. With that, he traveled the rest of the world, seeing what was to be seen as well as trying out and making scans for what vehicle modes he could find.
Family:
Step-Sister: Socket (M.I.A.)
Wife: Osla (Deceased: First battle of the war)
Daughter: Meridia (M.I.A.)
Close Friends:
Decepticon: Gyous (Alive)
Neutral: Kiyu (Alive)
Human: Ichinose Osamu (Alive)
Strengths: Baku can use both his headmaster unit and his main body to repair anyone simultaneously, due to his control over his main body while in robot mode. He is no stranger to combat, and anyone that attacks him is typically swiftly deflected and dealt with. Baku's two alternate modes also give him an edge, the F-86 giving him flight capabilities while he is in his dinosaurian mode and the dinosaurian mode enabling missile system availability for the F-86 mode.
Weaknesses: Given his large forms, a smaller foe could possibly overtake him. His realism can be a slight downer for those around him, and his anti-sociability doesn't get him anywhere with other Cybertronions. He often goes into things without a plan, and his overpowering weaponry can get him into trouble at certain points. Take that and add in his innate curiosity while using his headmaster form, he gets into trouble a lot as a neutral. He is typically one-track minded with what he is doing, focusing on the task at hand before worrying about himself. His headmaster unit, being partially human, could be easily damaged when detached from his main body, hence the amounts of armor it wears.
