BASICS
Designation : CarbyneNicknames: none
Gender : mech
Faction : other
Occupation : warrior
Personality :
Bereft of doubt, he is the epitome of resolve. An absolute belief that his projections for the future of the Cybertronian race must be achieved by whatever means necessary has given him a cold indifference toward the well being of the individual, Carbyne's only interest lies in the collective. As such, under strenuous circumstances, he is ultimately willing to resort to violence if it means isolating or eliminating someone he sees to be a threat to his vision. Once he's made a decision he perceives to be for the betterment of his race, few can dissuade him from acting upon it.
While his views of the world will perhaps forever remain stagnant, the way he presents them to others does not. He is all things to all people, an expert socialite who can find common ground with the anyone if he sees the benefit in gaining their good graces. To say that he is only interested in using others to his benefit would be an egregious claim, however, as his greatest strength in social engagements is his genuineness: though he may package his words especially to appeal to a certain person, he is never untrue to himself.
APPEARANCE

Primary Paint Color : deep blue/black
Secondary Paint Color : silver
Third Color : n/a
Height : 27 ft.
Features :
Alternative Mode :
A nondescript mid-sized Cybertronian four wheeler. Angular, yet sleek: it is optimized for maneuverability and durability. Though inferior in speed to smaller, sporty vehicles, it compensates in terms of raw engine power. Few obstacles are able to slow it to a halt. Ideal for short-distance bursts from points 'a' to 'b' in hazardous conditions.
Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
switch cannon
Description: A powerful cannon with adaptability in mind. From intensely focused, powerful, precise shots akin to sniper rounds to unpredictable blasts of energy with a wide area of effect, its versatility makes it the appropriate choice of an equally versatile warrior who prefers to overcome adversaries with superior strategy and tactics. Suited to Carbyne's combat preferences, it was made to be both durable and lightweight. Often, it can be found carried on Carbyne's person hidden in a tarp so as to avoid instigating conflict.
Gadgets : none
Abilities : Possesses no notable abilities.
OTHER
History : Carbyne prefers to keep others' knowledge of his past limited, and is thus subtly ambiguous when speaking of his early life. This is not because he has anything to hide, but because he values privacy. In a similar manner, he rarely asks about the past of others. When it is convenient to the situation, however, he is willing to reveal choice parcels from his experiences. It is unknown whether engex or high grade can open him up further about the past.
Strengths :
-Physically, his frame is a balance of strength, speed, durability, and flexibility. More importantly, he knows how to use those strengths to his advantage tactically while in combat, and how to prepare to play to his strengths strategically.
-Carbyne is emotionally distant. Unless he has developed a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them, he is unlikely to show hesitation if a single Cybertronian's life is being threatened. The only exception in this regard is if he perceives the loss of life to cause significant change to the state of their kind. Much like his fighting style, his lack of attachments makes him a shining example of adaptability.
-Socially adept, he can fit in with anyone from any walk of life irregardless of function or faction (within reason, and varying depending on the other person's own personality). Skilled with providing sound, reasonable arguments, his thought-provoking discussions lead to meaningful conversation that spark an immediate connection with relative ease.
-Not easily manipulated, his resolve and stubbornness can be an invaluable asset. He is hard to fool, and has an impressive natural insight as well as good instincts. Most of the time he trusts his initial impression on people.
Weaknesses :
-Although a fighter with intimate knowledge of and familiarity with his own capabilities, he often neglects to take into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of his allies. This could lead to him choosing fighting venues that play to his strengths, but put those fighting alongside him at a disadvantage.
-His detachment from individuals leads to him having few close, trusted allies, and even fewer friends. While this suits him just fine, it puts him at a loss when problems arise and he finds himself entirely self dependent to solve them. When he does gain allies or friends, it is rare he calls upon their aid simply because he is so unused to having others to rely upon.
-
A lack of faction, absence of allies, and loose lifestyle can be translated as 'instability.' Few aspects of his life remain as stagnant as his attitude, meaning that his adaptability, while remaining a strength, is a necessity. Should he fail to adapt soon enough to new environments and life circumstances, they could quickly overwhelm him, turning his resolution into an unsightly burden to maintain. While he (for the most part) handles change well, when he does, things start to fall apart and his attitude can change drastically.
-Less concerned about his own well being than in the restoration and exaltation of his race, Carbyne would gladly sacrifice himself if he believed it would further certain intentions he wishes to see fulfilled for his race as a whole. It is this possibility for succumbing to martyrdom that may one day undo him if someone is clever and close enough to him to begin planting the seeds to cause it.
SAMPLE RP
They hadn't understood. He wish they had. Now the rubble of calamity had but a single surviving occupant, and it was Carbyne. The chaos he'd caused ended in everyone's death but his. He wasn't going to question the results. This laboratory was an atrocity to the Cybertronian race. He had discovered it, acted on it, and now their kind could continue without that taint staining their reputation. And in it all, his survival would only facilitate the continuation of his campaign. Of Carbyne's efforts to cleanse the name of Cybertron.
