BASICS
Designation : Vaqus
Nicknames: Vaqq' Vax,
Gender : Mech
Age : Unknown
Home Planet : Cybertron (however, so the story goes, his parents moved to Aquatron during the Golden Age, and it was there he was raised) and Aquatron.
Home City State [ optional ]: (born in) Urya
Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Aqua-force trooper, scout
Abilities : Shift-Shaping.
Ability Description ( optional ) : Vaqus can change his shape, transforming into someone with full access to their alternate mode. He can even have the person's voice. However, Vaqus can only perform this little trick if he knows information about the person, and has data downloaded about them. Also, he can make up a form for himself to be, but it takes hours to turn into such a form. Switching back into his original self takes less then a heartbeat though, and it doesn't take much effort or concentration.
APPEARANCE
Optic ( Eye ) Color : Vaqus has an uncommon pair of copper colored optics, with the slightest hints of purple faintly ringing the center of each optic.
Primary Paint Color : Dark brown, slightly russet in detail.
Secondary Paint Color [ Optional ]: Blood red Maroon
Third Color [Optional]: For neon lights, deep Prussian blue
Height: 21 ft
Features:
- Vaqus has two rotors vertically put onto his back, which are attached to two wing-looking pieces. Soemtimes, he is mistaken for a seeker with these short wings, but others will soon realize he has alternate mode parts designed for aqua.
- Vaqus's mouth guard has two cords that stretch form the sides, and connect elsewhere o his back. They are said to be normal air-venting equipment, since he vents normally in water, and not in air.
Alternative Mode:
Cybertronian sub-marine frigate. This vehicle can slip through the thickest of waters easily, and has hover devices which enable him to be able to float on land, and zoom through the air, but he cannot fly over thirty feet in the air. His hover devices are quite limited in this way, but he still possess reasonable land transportation.
Appearance: Vaqus is a twenty one foot mech who’s colors are russet like dark brown, blood red maroon, and lastly some neon blue lights for some of his parts. Vaqus seems to be built quite sturdily, having a bit more bulk for mechs his size. He isn’t extremely bulky however, but he does have some extra armor. Where seeker wings would be, twin turbines are planted, and actually look like they could be small turbines of a helicopter. Vaqus has an unusual pattern of how his alternate mode parts are set, the canopy of the submarine is on one of his shoulders, which is more heavily guarded then the other shoulder. Vaquses himself has two vents on his upper chest, and two vents on his lower legs, and a hover device wrests on each of his palms. Vaquses lower face is covered by a mouth guard, which looks like a breathing mask human use when going scuba diving. To make it seem like he needs the mask to vent normally, he has two cords running down from the mask and connecting to a pack on his back.
ARMOR AND WEAPONRY
Armor
Armor Description: Vaqus's armor comes in three layers, and all are water proof, and can withstand the highest pressures of the deepest depths of water. His exterior layer, the layer which everyone sees, it the thinnest of the three, but holds the purpose of being acid (x1) and explosive (x1) resistant. Even though it is the thinnest, it is still, like most good armor, dependable.
The second layer of Vaqises armor is actually only found on his back, his chest, and all around his helm. It is meant to prevent sniper shots from easily sliding their way to his spark, and the back, the temple, or the fore-head of his helm. It adds weight to him, but he has his own methods of making up for it with some speed. It is armor specially made from Aquatron, which is rumored to be his homeplanet. This armor layer also can take heavy hits from melee weapons, so that Vaqis can stay in the fight longer.
The third layer of armor is what fills in the areas where the sind layer of armor would be, or even behind the second layer in thin portions. The third layer is found all over his body, and it’s sole purpose is to halt any poisons from entering Vaquises systems, or prolonging a poison from doing so. Perhaps even neutralizing it, if it is a rusting poison or a blinding poison. However, if it is not any of the above, the layer can only prolong it, and it will take effect.
Armor Perks ( optional ): Described above.
Weaponry
Primary Weapon
Nucleon Charge Rifle
Description: Vaqus holds a Nucleon Charge rifle on his back, which is the most effective sniper weapon to date, despite it’s charging requirements. This weapon has been customized however, so that it can hold more ammunition then the average rifle.
Secondary Weapon :
Machine gun cannons.
Description: Next, Vaqus has hand blasters that have been installed in his servos, which can fold and unfold into these given weapons, which fire quickly, and act as machine guns. These are accurate, and since slightly slower the machine guns, have more power to them. Their lasers are meant to drill through heavy armor, though they will eat up ammunition quickly. These guns play key roles in some schemes of Vaquses, since the pair of weapons have two modes: Machine gun mode, shown previously and gas mode. After some time on Earth, Vaqus adjusted his weapons so that they could spray gasoline onto an opponent, before he switches the modes of his weapons so that the gasoline will explode quite fantastically.
Other Weapons :
Vaqus holds a long, firm and dependable staff, and on one end a spark powered energy blade can burst through an energy emitter, making the weapon havethe looks of a scythe. This spark powered weapon can pierce almost any kind of armor if not every, but it comes at the cost of taking energy from Vaquses spark, and it is thusly quite draining. If the blade if being used merely as a staff, on the opposite end is a spear tip, which can cut through some kinds of armor, but is not nearly as useful as the spark-powered energy blade. However, it does not require energy from Vaquses spark. The staff can shrink into more of just a handle, and can be connected to Vaquses belt.
Description : Described above.
Gadgets :
When it comes to gadgetry, Vaqus is well armed as well. One both forarms, behind some vent-looking designs on his armor, wrest two grappling hooks. Each can attach and detach from targets quickly, and have a long range of dependable rope-like wire. These Hooks can also have an electrical effect, electrocuting anything they attach to with thousands of volts, or these handy hooks can simply just slip out of Vaquses forearms, the tips forming substitute blades. These blades can cleave through armor quite nicely, but are not dependable when too much pressure is applied. He claims that he has acquired these nifty tools from Aquatron.
For a second gadget, Vaqus has one miniature grenade launcher concealed behind another chunk of armor on each shoulder, when Vaqus wills it, these smaller grenade launchers can unfold from his back, and become a shoulder mounted weapon. Each grenade launcher is small because of where they must be hidden, and can only hold three grenades each. These grenades are your average explosive grenades, and unsurprisingly they are quite useful.
Lastly, Vaqus keeps a small secret in a decent size piece of back armor: He is not alone.
A cassesticon unfolds from his back, and this small follower is Vaqus unfailing partner, even though he does not have much of a mind of his own. The casseticon is named Clinks, and he is armed with a single small laser cutter, which can be shot as a beam, or be used as a single stream to sever through matter. Clinks also is an additional recorder for Vaqus, being a part of him he records everything Vaqus learns, sees, and feels. Clinks can transmit this all back to Vaqus, even though he already knows this. The casseticon can also transmit this information to someone else, as long as Vaqus wants the casseticon to. The casseticon has flight capability, though not the fastest, it can go up to speeds 80 miles per hour max.

Personality :
Vaqus is impatient when it comes to assisting allies, but when it comes down to it, he is dead calm after a battle, but in one at times he can make a small miscalculation. He likes dry humor, and will break a smart one off if the time calls for it. Vaqus seems to be able to find the irony in almost anything, and can twist any small realization into the perfect slam to anyone. Vaqus studies people some before he talks, as if he is thinking of ways that they could prove to be weak, and is somewhat judge mental. He has trouble following orders sometimes, especially if he hates the other persons guts. Ocasionally, Vaqus will do research on someone just for some slanderous comments to drive the person crazy. Underneath this all lays a few enigmas, such as if he truly is a bitter bot with a mouth, or if he is simply adjusting to the planet he is on, and the people he is with. Vaqus does make it a priority to please the few friends he has though.

History ( Optional as some like to make it up as they go along ) :
Some tell of Vaquses history of him being but a small sparkling before he was taken away with his parents to tour Aquartron, in the days of the Golden Age. No one for sure knows exactly what occurred in Aquatron, but since it is where Sharkticons originate from, and it is where some Quintesson factions rest and create Sharkticons, some can assume there was an attack, though no one knows who really started it. Rumors stretch that there was an unofficial war, but once again, no one really knows. Vaqus himself confirms some of these things, such as the fact that his parents were taken for him, and that he never really felt the same after his journeys to Aquatron….and that it is a miracle he was able to endure this long.
Family ( Optional, some just have none ) :
Clinx, (friends) Diamond, Aerojet.
Strengths :
Vaqus is an excellent swimmer, and can practically navigate any ocean blind folded, and still know which way is to shore by simply feeling the water currents. He has impressive observation skills which he uses on occasion, and he is a survivor by nature. He simply will refuse to give in until he has nothing left. He also has a small shape-shifting ability, giving him the perfect spy usage, though he is still working on masking himself in a different personality. He is a rookie in some ways, and a master in others. Vaqus is also a capable fighter, being agile and graceful in reflexes and movements, and he often tries to time his attacks.
Weaknesses :
Vaqus is perhaps not the best at socializing, even though he occasionally gives it a try. He occasionally is either too slow or too fast to act, and he often questions what high command is thinking or tries to discover before they make their moves. He can get into trouble like this sometimes. He is every now and then doubtful, and negative, and for a mech his size he is a tad bit heavy. He is a gifted marksman, but when it comes to timing at times he is a bit off. Sometimes he takes too much tim enjoying his surroundings to really act.
SAMPLE RP
Note that a piece of your history, your journey to Earth for example, could be used.
It was a clear sky that day, and the sun shone brightly. The sky had no clouds, and it's absolutely enchanting and solid blue hue caused some humans to beam back up at the sky as they walked on, past the jeep. The wind blew only in a small and comfortable breeze, since winter was over and summer was dawning, the weather would be quite pleasant; not too hot, and not too cold. However, a spec in the sky caught a small boy's attention: It was a small grey looking projectile that was getting slightly bigger by the second.
The boy tugged his mother's arm, but alas, she was absorbed in the small shopping trip they had gone on, and was currently interested in a mahogany carved instrument. The spec continued to get bigger, until at last, the roaring of an incoming object soaring downwards was heard throughout the streets below. it was a pod, and the large alien vessel consistently increased speed on it's rapid incline, zooming down, it's front on fire due to entering Earth's atmosphere.
People came to realize the incoming pod, and scattered, making way for it to crash directly in the center of the city, causing buildings to rumble, and and creating a crater in it's wake. it held stone still as the flames that were on it began to flicker down a notch, and police started to form a circle around it, struggling to keep order with the people. About half the 200 people present pulled out their iPhones or cameras, and took quick snapshots of the pod from where they were.
Within the pod, a figure's optics began to open, as he groggily arose from stasis.
'Ugh....I'm in one piece.' The figure thought. He checked the canners of his ship, and it did a sweep of the area. Several alternate modes appeared on the screen for him to retno-scan, but none of them were water based alternate modes, so the figure just mad sup his mind he would keep his own alternate mode until further notice. 'Now--where am I?'
