BASICS
Designation : Nightvibe
Nicknames: Vibe
Gender : Neutral Gender
Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Spymaster
Personality :
Completely silent, always observing, Nightvibe sticks to the shadows, never interfering with events, but always taking note of everything they see. Their loyalty to the Decepticon cause seems to be absolute. Not much else can be deciphered about their personality, as they never ever speak themselves, relying instead on audio recordings from various sources, and even then such communication is rare. Nightvibe does not care what pronoun others use for them, and it is known that they've been referred to as he, it, she or they at various times by various different people. They have shown great loyalty to their equally loyal deployer, Duskwave, who makes up extra armour on Nightvibe's chest when not active.
APPEARANCE
Optic ( Eye ) Color : Obscured/visor is dim blue
Primary Paint Color : Black
Height : 27 ft
Features:
Alternative Mode:
Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Dual heavy blasters
Description: Integrated into arms as an alternative form. Can be used in alt mode as well. Will more often than not stun enemies upon hitting, and damage their armour. A couple of hits in a vital area will be lethal.
Gadgets :
Prehensile tentacles
Description: Allow Nightvibe to access computers when hooked into them. They can also be used to pick up and hold objects, and are surprisingly strong for how thin they are.
Nightvibe also has a deployer named Duskwing who has the same stealth-based abilities as its master, and makes up extra armour on their chest when not active.
Abilities :
Invisibility Cloaking [Activated manually]
Description: Nightvibe can turn practically invisible whenever they so choose, although this increases their energy consumption, requiring them to refuel with energon sooner if used for long periods of time. Also, when in motion, the cloak has a slight, nigh-undetectable delay, meaning the faster Nightvibe goes, the harder it will be for the cloak to keep up, and the more apparent they will be. This is not much of a problem when in the skies flying in their alt mode, but becomes problematic when in close quarters, as any motion may reveal their position to someone perceptive.
Detection Countermeasures [Passive]
Description: Nightvibe emits no detectable signals, and emits a field which disrupts detection by radar. This ability also covers most alternative modes of detection, barring the visible light spectrum.
OTHER
History :
Never making known their presence, Nightvibe has stuck to the shadows, both literally and metaphorically, staying out of the way of events and choosing instead to observe and record, and later report their findings to the Decepticon leader. Many times has it been by Nightvibe's observations that have averted attempts at treason from being successful within the Decepticon ranks, and this has subsequently strengthened their position within the faction. Arriving on Earth with the bulk of the other Decepticons, Nightvibe has as always kept a low profile and observed activity across the globe.
Strengths :
-Surprisingly resilient considering their thin figure.
-Extremely fast processing power allows faster reaction time and faster processing of gathered information.
-Extremely agile and quick physically, both in and out of alt mode.
-Very stealthy, emits almost no noise when in action.
Weaknesses :
-Average physical strength, combined with relatively weak armour, means they are at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
-The choice to never themselves speak can be a bit of a crux during interaction, although it has never deterred them from staying silent.
-Thinks extremely logically, which makes it harder for them to properly anticipate actions based on emotion, although they have partially managed to compensate for this with complex behavioural algorithms.
-Although mostly very careful and methodical, Nightvibe has capacity for arrogance, which can get them to underestimate others and make mistakes.
BASICS
Designation : Duskwing
Nicknames: That annoying fluttering little drone
Gender : Neutral Gender
Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Nightvibe's minicon deployer
Personality :
Extremely inquisitive, to the point of being annoyingly nosy. Duskwing enjoys sticking its nose in other people's business, especially when it's something potentially incriminating, especially so when it's someone that's supposed to be their ally. On the other hand, they display extreme loyalty to Nightvibe, and has been known to risk their life to further their master's ends.
APPEARANCE
Optic ( Eye ) Color : Blue
Primary Paint Color : Black
Height : 6 ft
Features:
Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Light blasters
Description: Two energy blasters fixed under each of its wings. Can be transformed and folded into the wings for better aerodynamics. The blasts are unlikely to do more than momentarily stun and irritate targets on impact.
Electric prod
Description: An electric prod that can extend out of Duskwing allows them to stun targets and fry systems they come in contact with.
Gadgets :
Small prehensile tentacle
Description: Allows Duskwing to access computers when hooked into them. It can also be used to pick up and hold objects, but is not as strong as Nightvibe's tentacles.
Abilities :
Invisibility Cloaking [Activated manually]
Description: Duskwing can turn practically invisible whenever they so choose, although this increases their energy consumption, requiring them to refuel with energon sooner if used for long periods of time. Also, when in motion, the cloak has a slight, nigh-undetectable delay, meaning the faster Nightvibe goes, the harder it will be for the cloak to keep up, and the more apparent they will be. This is not much of a problem when in the skies flying, but becomes problematic when in close quarters. When connected to Nightvibe, their cloaks become connected and activate simultaneously when Nightvibe uses their own.
Detection Countermeasures [Passive]
Description: Like Nightvibe, Duskwing emits no detectable signals, and emits a field which disrupts detection by radar. This ability also covers most alternative modes of detection, barring the visible light spectrum.
OTHER
History :
Duskwing has always been an important part of Nightvibe's arsenal. The two are completely loyal to each other, and Duskwing has been known to place themselves in danger if it serves Nightvibe's ends. It is unknown when they originally met, and when Duskwing ultimately integrated themselves completely into Nightvibe, as for as long as anyone has been aware of Nightvibe, Duskwing has been there too.
Strengths :
-Surprisingly resilient considering their small and unassuming figure.
-Extremely fast.
-Very stealthy, emits almost no noise when in action.
Weaknesses :
-Relatively weak armour and no means of fighting hand to hand means they are at a severe disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
-Beeping has been known to irritate fellow Decepticons, to the point that most would gladly kill the minicon on the smallest justification.
-Sufficient damage to flight systems would make Duskwing unable to move as it has no moving parts otherwise.
