BASICS
Designation : Barrage
Nicknames: N/A
Gender : Mech
Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Soldier, Demolition
Personality : Barrage has a fondness for battle as he was known to participate in martial arts tournaments before the war began. He also took the Decepticon's beliefs and philosophy about war and conflict as a way to test the strength of Cybertronians to heart.
Regardless of his love for fighting, Barrage is not a brute who relies solely on strength. He has a surprisingly calm demeanor, even under pressure. He also fosters an intelligent, almost philosophical mind; he was able to curry favor in not only his family's business empires but also within the Decepticon army once he joined.
Despite losing his arm and other injuries during the Great Civil War, Barrage doesn't hold hatred towards the Autobot's; having accepted the fact that his wounds were merely the result of war, and his cybernetics only reinforced his beliefs.
Barrage is also arrogant as he is consistently boasting about his strength and disappointment in the opponents he defeated having high expectations very few meet.

Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry : Cybernetic Arm
Description: The most obvious form of attack with Barrage's implant is to pummel his enemies with the almighty strength such an augment possesses, carrying similar power to brute force weapons such as hammers and maces. To further emphasize Barrage's potential for destruction the implant is capable of storing some of the kinetic energy produced around the fist and gauntlet during his strikes (and blocks) for a short period of time before being released as a seismic charge which at full strength can topple buildings if hitting the weakpoints.
Such a weapon though has more than one form of attack, as Barrage's arm is capable of transforming into an extremely close range plasma shotgun which can quickly decimate an enemy up close. On the other hand though the power requirements of the shotgun attachment are quite extensive and require a short cooldown after roughly four shots or else risk the integrity of the limb.
In contrast Barrage's long range alternative favors quantity over pretty much everything else, with an artillery strike composing of dozens of rockets fired at the same time.
Gadgets :
Thrusters -Located in his right arm, pedes and the back of his knees, Barrage has numerous ways to move around on the battlefield using thrusters to send him anywhere from a few meters to dodge an attack or numerous meters hurling forward at an enemy.
Magnetic Locks - Barrage possess magnetic locks underneath his pede's that can be used to attach to metal surfaces, allowing him to scale buildings and traverse environments in anti-grav scenarios
Visor - Like most Cybertronian's, Barrage possesses a visor that can be lowered over his optics to provide visual support. As a result Barrage's visor is capable of magnifying his vision for long ranges along with providing a number of different vision modes for different environments and scenarios. Furthermore his optics can be linked up to data systems such as tactical displays allowing him to highlight things in his vision as well as upload maps of the area and even databases on relevant people.
Abilities : Loadbearer
Description: Barrage is one of the rare few Cybertronians possessing a One Point Percenter spark. As a result of this his spark has been classified as a loadbearer, this allows his frame to sustain and power a body modified with extreme augmentation.
OTHER
History[Optional as some like to make it up as they go along] :
Barrage was sparked into a well-regarded Kaonian Legacy, heir to its prosthetic-technology company. A highly intelligent and charismatic figure, Barrage helped to expand his family's business and position it for the future while dedicating his free time to his first love: competitive martial arts. He trained in traditional Cybertronian fighting styles, including Circuit-Su and Crystalocution, as well as in Pit fighting and other modern combat systems, incorporating the most effective techniques into his repertoire. Barrage in turn with such knowledge competed in tournaments all over the city-state, utilizing his intuition and ability to read opponents alongside his tremendous strength.
But when the crackdown began with the removal of gladiatorial combat, it seemed his martial arts career was greatly hindered with an entire avenue of combat removed. As a result he tried to devote himself to his business with the same zeal that he had for fighting, but he found nothing that could fill the void until he was given a new opportunity by a Decepticon recruiter called Aries. Areis offered Barrage the chance to fight with him as a member of the upcoming Decepticon revolution. Initially wary, Barrage accepted, and discovered that he now had an arena in which he could test his capabilities.
It wasn't long after that Barrage found himself on the battlefield in the early days of the Great Civil War, where he quickly developed a reputation as a deadly close range operative. With his legacies reputation and the public eye having been part of his life since his creation it wasn't difficult for Autobot forces to identify the mech, and with the help of some of his own legacies members looking to become the new heir to a planetwide company, they prepared a trap.
In the end it failed, though not without claiming Barrage's right arm and leaving him stasis-locked for months. When he returned it was with the now infamous implant of his right arm and a fury that burned his entire legacy to ashes, and has since recreated it with hills of corpses which even now continue to grow as Barrage heads back to Cybertron.
Strengths :
MINIMUM of thre bullets ( Full sentences required ).
- Immense strength with his right arm and legs.
- Highly trained martial artist skilled in a number of techniques and styles.
- His prosthetic are significantly more durable than a standard transformers limbs.
Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of three bullets (Full sentences required).
- The unaltered portions of Barrage's frame are notably weaker and less powerful, in the case of his left arm it is rarely used in combat except in the case of maneuvers that require finesse and precision over strength. (In this case it is comparable to a generic transformer rather than being physically deficient)
- His long range option is imprecise and not particularly fast, although still relatively quick his missiles are not near instantaneous in the same way other weapons are. Since they rectify these problems with quantity such an attack is just as dangerous to allies as enemies in the area.
- Barrage has no comprehension of using stealth to his advantage, which can make him easy to locate on the battlefield.
- He is also arrogant often ignoring a threat once it is seemingly down. This can allow someone to outmaneuver him if they can convince him they're a target he can play with and delay the kill, or if they play possum after sustaining damage. Such tactics though will not work forever, Barrage is overconfident but not stupid.
- Hit and run attacks against him which he cannot successfully chase down are frustrating and can cause Barrage to use his long range capabilities without consideration for his allies or the environment.
- The opportunity of a new martial artist to challenge himself against can lead to him sacrificing advantages such as his ranged attacks.
Character Access : Anyone may use Barrage for their own use. If however you wish to capture or kill him then you must ask me first, in addition you cannot have him swap sides without my permission. If you abuse your permission to use this OC I will ban you from playing him.
