BASICS
Designation : Nom
Nicknames: None
Gender : Mech
Age : 33
Home Planet : Cybertron
Home City State [ optional ]: Uraya
Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Soldier
Abilities : Regeneration
Ability Description ( optional ) : Nom's overshield covers over wounds as it would with rest of his body, but on command he can use a proccess that transforms sections of his shield into the metal that forms his armor, albeit by a small piece at a time, and this process gets rid of the shield in that area until it recharges from regenerating his armor. This trick however doesn't fix wounds to internal organs and only affects his armor. Nom is capable of overhauling the regeneration process, speeding it up considerably, but this usually causes more damage than it prevents as it causes burning internally. This ability is granted to him because the shield generator he uses is infused with the 3D printing/fabrication technology armories use to print/make weapons. The shield is woven with the energy that is used to make the metal in the Fabricators but due to this it is on a weaker scale, hence why it takes a slow time and can only produce one metal type.
APPEARANCE
Optic ( Eye ) Color : Yellow
Primary Paint Color : Gray
Secondary Paint Color [ Optional ]: Orange
Third Color [Optional]: Black
Height: 33ft
Features:
Please put two Bullet Points listing notable features, a picture will account for this part of the app.
- Lower legs are familiar of that of the ones Grimlock has in Fall of Cybertron, but with some minor differences. For example, unlike Grimlock the front side of his calves are completely flat-sided (And have miniguns sticking out the front of them) and move up at a perfect 90 degree vertical angle. Another difference is that instead of a "boot" he has 2 "toes" and in a more minor change the 3 nozzles on the back of them are substantially larger, as this is where his rockets are launched from
- Nom has exceptionally large and blocky forearms, this trait shared with his hands which too are blocky in shape and large in size, but this doesn't mean to say the equivalent of nails are short and block shaped either, in fact her has what are similar to talons.
- Both of his hands have 3 large areas missing chunks in his knuckles, one between his index and middle, the next between his middle and ring, and the last one between his ring finger and his little finger.
- Nom's head design consists of a large mouthguard that takes up a large portion of his faceplate, going up to his optics. This mouthguard is constantly raised but this is not to say it is permanently fixed. Nom keeps it raised to hide his extremely large mouth which starts around his chin and finishes just below his optics like his faceplate and it has multiple, large, extremely sharp teeth designed from shredding of metal, similar to a scraplet's.
- His torso design is the cybertronian version of a muscular human. His chest area is incredibly bulky and overhangs his abdomen area, with a small support underneath connecting it to the sides of his stomach area. His back has a singular large jet and the top of his torso has his split "truck nose" resting on either side of his neck. The windows of his truck mode end up under his armpits, as for his wheels they bunch together in pairs and two of the pairs reside on the lower areas of his back, and the other behind the split truck nose.
- Nom's shoulders take an appearance like Optimus Prime's from Fall of Cybertron, but his do not glow or subconsciously shift.

ARMOR AND WEAPONRY
Armor
Armor Description: Describe your character's armor. Bullet Point at least two notable features.
- Nom's armor is made of a metal that can be 3D printed by his shield as the generator is a hybrid of a shield generator and a 3D fabricator and is thus regeneratable.
- Nom's armor is heavily resistant to ballistic and explosive/heat based weaponry. This is because it is constructed of an alloy nano-mesh which "hardens", catching bullets and other ballistic ammunition like shrapnel. This because in reality, it's "hardening" feature, is actually the nano-mesh quickly surrounding and closing up around the projectile, causing it to get stuck. There are multiple layers of this nano-mesh too, all of which make up the outer layer of his armor, making it more likely to stop the projectile. This feature is also what makes it so useful against explosives/heat as it quickly moves in a way that it funnels all the heat up and away from the user, minimizing the damage.
- Ballistic/Explosive ((Heat) It is labelled explosive and heat because it really just stops the heat damage from the explosion) Resistant
- Regeneratable
Weaponry
Primary Weapon :
Cannon Claws
Description: The reason for the slits on his knuckles is because in each of his forearms, 3 shotguns are stored. These can extend out and travel through cut out channels inside of his forearms and into his servos, extending out through the slits. This process does not lock his servos in place due to the fact the shotguns move into his servos and out of his forearms entirely. The shotguns are pump action, and when the weapon is slid forward into "firing mode" the pump is locked in place within his servo. The shotguns have heavy recoil due to them having incredible high stopping power, capable of ruining, shredding and decimating any and all armor, no matter the thickness or ability to resist bullets. The recoil causes it to get pushed back into his forearms and this works well with the locked pump as when fired it pretty much half-pumps it, and then a piston located toward the frontal area of his forearm which pushes the guns forward again, ready to fire. There is an auto-reload module built into his forearms, so when they run out of bullets they retract, reload, then extend ready to fire.
The outer area of his forearms are equipped with recoil-dampeners, as are the inside areas that are open. The shotguns are also bayoneted, but these only come out when the shotguns extend to their full length to avoid cutting Nom. They are also made of a metal which resists energy blades to a high degree as well as hard to cut with normal ones, meaning they are hard to break.
Secondary Weapon :
Homing Energy Rockets
Description: These rockets are stored within Nom's lower legs. This where they fire from too. When they impact their target they explode into harmful energy in a large enough explosion to level a city block, which causes heavy damage to armor/body and even heavier damage to shielding devices. However, the most damaging place for them to hit is an open energon wound (And if there is one on a transformers body it probably will due to it's blast radius), as the energy enflames it and in the worst cases cause the energon lines they hit to explode. These rockets are homing missiles which lock onto spark signatures, and are also slightly intelligent, avoiding buildings and other things that can cause premature detonation, but their highest priority in this case is avoiding hitting Nom.
Other Weapons :
Armor piercing miniguns
Description: These miniguns are human sized, and one is placed on the front of both of his lower legs. These weapons are light due to the fact they are actually human weapons, modified by cybertronian technology. They fire high power rounds that are especially good for armor piercing on cybertronians.
Gadgets :
Overshield: Nom has an overshield that covers his entire body which can take damage and prevent it hitting him. Unlike most overshields, Nom's is damaged in patches, meaning hitting one area won't de-activate the entire thing. This is useful as it can also recharge, meaning when these patches aren't under fire the shield in that area recharges, but at slow rate. This Overshield is used for his Regeneration power, as it can harden and transform into the metal that makes up his armor.
Stealth Force: Nom can use "Stealth force" mode, in which his entire lower section splits in two and moves far apart from one another. The only part on this level not effected by this is the nose, which stays intact and slides through the gap made and then sits at the rear of his alt-mode. The top of the nose shifts to reveal a large conductor coil and electromagnetic generator, which turns his entire undercarriage into a large railgun, which fires bullets stored inside the truck's nose. As for the rest of the vehicle, the front of it shifts, and without it's nose the armor shifts to take it's place, becoming more like a flat-nosed truck. While in this form, armor plating moves down over his windows to protect said weakspot. Due to the fact his legs are in the rear section, when the truck splits his legs move so that his missile launchers are visible, and facing upward so that they can fire easier.
Trailer/Sentry: Nom's trailer can be stored in a large subspace portal and can be taken out from and put back into it on command. However, there is a use to taking it out of subspace in robot mode, as it can shift and transform into a large floating construct which is locked in place. However, in this form, it has access to multiple weapon arrays hidden inside the trailer and can be used as a sentry thanks to an onboard AI located in it's targeting chip. This transformation from Trailer mode to "Sentry mode" can be triggered by Nom mentally.
Melee :
Bayonets:
Melee Weapon Description (Optional): The Bayonets on his Shotguns are functional melee weapons, at least functional enough for Nom. Along with the fact that the shotguns the blades are mounted on are hard to break or destroy, they are very useful as swords.

TRAILER WEAPONRY
Primary Weapon :
Miniguns:
Nom's trailer has 6 armor piercing miniguns, and unlike Nom's actual miniguns, these are cybertronian size, and do cybertronian level damage, shredding, ripping, tearing, decimating armor.
Secondary Weapon :
Multi-missile Launchers:
6 Barreled rocket launchers that are designed to destroy heavy armor. Nom's trailer has 4 of these on it. Every missile fired can split into 6 smaller ones, and keep the same payload in the one they fired from, making 6 mini-missiles and one larger one.
Tertiary Weapon :
Beam Cannon:
A large spherical cannon in the centre of the trailer's sentry form, this fires high power beams that can destroy most things standing in it's path.
Gadgets :
Intelligence Chip:
Nom's trailer is equipped with an "intelligence chip" which gives the trailer an AI to control it's sentry mode. This AI is designed to seek out and kill nearby Decepticons, and is capable of using it's weaponry to take multiple ones out at a time.
OTHER
Personality :
Nom is a quiet mech, not very social, keeping to himself. This wasn't the way he was before his friends died, before that he was bold and outgoing. After a few months with a group of cyber-ninjas, Nom has developed a moral code, and his respect is given to everyone, even foes he faces on the battlefield. But cheap moves and easy shots can easily lose anyone this respect. Nom has a deep interest in sparklings, as they were part of his therapy, as well the fact he was never a sparkling, and any sparkling he finds taking their childhood foregranted and the fact they don't have to see the horrors of war, will get a good talking to from Nom. His respect for his enemies makes Nom a mech reluctant to fight, and only kills if he must, often asking for forgiveness before delivering the final blow.
Courage:
On a 1-10 numeric scale.

Charisma :

History ( Optional as some like to make it up as they go along ) :
Nom never had a childhood. He was born straight into an adult body, along with most forged. However, Nom was born right in the middle of the war, in one of the last "spark surges" from Vector Sigma. This meant that he wasn't born into a civillian body, oh no, he was born for war, and thanks to being born in Uraya (A city crazy about the autobot cause and a strong enemy and foothold against the decepticon faction), his frame was premade with multiple weapons built in, like his Cannon Claws, which he has became close to. Quickly Nom went through training, being quite good at it, and along with some other trainees and a veteran of war to lead them, they became the 67th Strike Squadron.
They were tasked with defending Uraya, the birth place of all the squad's members, and then one of the Decepticon's many failed invasions began, taking the life of their leader in a co-ordinated mortar and air strike. This attack also trapped the team under heavy rubble as well as taking their comms offline. If it weren't for Nom and his team-mate Boyd, they may not have made it out alive.
Following this, Nom became the team leader of the 67th strike squad, with Boyd as his deputy. They rose through the ranks, becoming a respected and recognized team, until their fall. Nom and Boyd had both been selected for an advanced mission, and they had to leave their teammates from the 67th behind for the duration of the mission, leaving them to guard Uraya. While out on this mission, the fateful attack on Uraya took place, the orbital bombing, the one that destroyed the place entirely. A disheartened Boyd and Nom returned, to find this and they soon lost all hope.
Boyd was the first to soon recover his sense of hope, his fighting spirit after being saved by a young rookie, who went by the name of Tag. Soon, Tag joined the 67th strike squadron, what was left of it, bringing it up to 3 members, well more like 2, for Nom didn't fight anymore. It was because of this, and Boyd's newfound sense of hope, the feeling it could be done, that Boyd and Tag lost their lives, fighting.
This news only disheartened Nom further, Boyd was like a brother to him, and Tag a son. He was then sent to medical outpost to receive therapy and counselling over the deaths of his friends, and how he blamed every single one of them on himself, even the death of the previous leader, something he could never had stopped. It was when this outpost was attacked, when Nom took up arms again. One of his treatments was spending time with orphaned sparklings, anunorthodox method but the idea behind it was that connecting with people at such an under-developed brain stage who had experience the same trauma could eventually repair how their own minds worked. Decepticon soldiers burst into the room, holding him, the sparklings and the medics at gunpoint.
And then something snapped.
Nom no longer felt depressed about his friends deaths, and while he blamed himself over it, he realized he could use that as a driving force to make a change. And so he did, murdering every single decepticon in not just that room, but in the entire outpost, killing them all in cold energon.
It was after this that his journey continued as he went to learn from a group of cyber-ninjas how to mentally prepare himself and a code to live by, and nothing else. What he learnt there he still retains and stands by to this day.
Soon he re-joined the war effort, fighting on his own, going from team to team, fighting wherever he was needed until the war for cybertron drew to a close, and he left in stasis pod.
Family ( Optional, some just have none ) :
Boyd - Close friend, felt like a brother, Deceased, Sniper bullet through his skull.
Tag - Close friend, felt like a son, Deceased, Destroyed by an explosive in such a way all that remains of him today is his rifle.
Strengths :
MINIMUM of four bullets ( Full sentences required ).
- Nom is a very strong fighter
- His armor is excellent at handling damage
- His trailer's sentry mode
- Nom has powerful weaponry, and is trained to use it as well as possible.
Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of four bullets (Full sentences required).
- Nom lives by a strict code, and he kills reluctantly
- The memories of his team mates is enough to dishearten him and take his mind off of the fight
- While powerful, he isn't very fast
- His regeneration ability can cause severe burning to his internals if he chooses to regenerate his armor at an increased pace, so giving him a lot of wounds to fix can make him rush the armor reconstruction process and leave him more damaged than he was to begin with.
SAMPLE RP
"I hope you can forgive me." then a loud bang, as a group of bullets traveled through the body, piercing the destroyed armor, killing the mech that wore it turned his body into a corpse. Nom didn't kill because he wanted to, he didn't kill because he liked it. Nom killed because he was told to do so, and did so reluctantly, every time. Then, the light pitter patter of footsteps. The light pitter patter of vehicon footsteps to be exact. They ran towards the gunshots,and stood there, gun arms raised and aimed at Nom, trembling as they looked at the corpse of their team mate. "He left me no other choice." he told them truthfully, causing them to step back and tremble even more. "Leave peacefully, and let me spare you from his fate." He continued, prompting them to charge their weapons, and fire. The laser blasts hit him, and as the smoke cleared from the first wave of shots, he stood there, unscathed. In response, they unleashed a storm of lasers, trying to kill him.
They got the same result.
"I tried to reason with you... I tried to give you another way out, to spare you! But I see. I will try and make this as painless as possible." He told them, stepping forward, this action as well not just what he said, but the tone of voice he said it in caused them to tremble even more, causing more firing, and this time he left the smoke with a small plasma burn. He continued to walk towards them, suddenly clenching his fists as he swung his arms down by his sides as he walked, the sudden action of him balling his servos into fists causing 3 shotguns to erupt from each servo, extending from between the knuckles. By now they were well within range and he raised both arms, firing relentlessly at his targets as bullet after bullet him them, reducing their bodies to corpses, the same as their friends. "I've said it before... I hope you can forgive me." He stated, walking through a gap between where two vehicons fell, continuing his warpath.
They got the same result.
