BASICS
Designation : Ethereal
Nicknames: Traitorous Shadow
Gender : Mech
Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Assassin
Personality : Ethereal admits to being a high-functioning psychopath, having a passion for murder and vengeance he is willing to kill even without a solid motivation. He's conceited and sadistic, often toying with his opponents when he has the upper hand in combat.
Ethereal also expresses a hate for beastformers, having once possessed a sympathetic opinion of the race only to find himself mauled at one point in the early days of the Great War. Which has in turn led to the mech often prolonging the deaths of such kind when he comes across them.
In the past, Ethereal had been an understandable person with a headstrong nature, treating the members of his original strike team as close friends. However, as time went by, his attitude became more joking and casual, and he seemed to care less for the Decepticons he worked with. While his nature became more cynical often dismissing those around him. It gradually became more clear that he was quicker to anger and found people preforming slights against him in the most thoughtless of manners.

Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Pitfire Shotguns - Ethereal wields two semi-automatic ballistic shotguns capable of shredding enemies at close range in only a few miliseconds. With its integrated silencers which create a sound pocket around the barrel, the weapon is capable of quickly clearing entire rooms without alerting nearby enemies to the users position. In the case that some extra punch is required Ethereal also has the option of using special ammunition, including but not limited to acid and plasma rounds.
Thermo-Energon Dagger - Located in a compartment on his left leg Ethereal wields a small and agile thermo-energon dagger that he can use if his shotguns require reloading, or if he's unable to use them.
Gadgets :
Magnetic Locks - Ethereal 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, Ethereal possesses a visor that can be lowered over his optics to provide visual support. As a result Ethereal'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.
Phaseshift - Using technology to temporarily enter the shadowzone, Ethereal can appear to go invisible and is invulnerable to any attacks in his nearby proximity, while he is still able to see those around him. On the other hand though Ethereal is also unable to effect his nearby surroundings and phaseshifting is only temporary as the device will deactivate and return him back to his normal dimension after a few minutes at max. [Can only be used for three posts. Cooldown is five posts.]

History[Optional as some like to make it up as they go along] :
Sparked in Tarn, Ethereal was enlisted into the Cybertronian Security Forces during the Age of Wrath, and through it formed a close bond with Pulsepoint, as both quickly became high ranking officers. When the Quintesson Rebellions began and Sentinel Prime began to assemble his strike forces the two accepted the offer to join alongside Safeguard, Rivet, Shrike, and Slight. Though Ethereal led the strike team, Pulsepoint was recognized as the team's moral fabric.
When Sentinel Prime successfully put down the crisis, Pulsepoint was promoted to Commander in the military while Ethereal became a high ranking official in the militarizes black ops division. He oversaw many of the militaries covert ops missions and trained agents like Peacekeeper. Over time, Ethereal began to resent Pulsepoint for receiving the public's attention while he received none. Before he could properly act on his growing jealously however the Great Civil War began.
Almost instantly he and his men where sent to quell the resistance, putting down entire settlements with merciless efficiency. Instead of resolving the problem as many of the council expected though it only increased the Decepticon's growing numbers. In response Ethereal and his group was pulled back and put on a temporary reprieve which looked to be growing more and more permanent as the crackdown continued. By now though Ethereal's bloodlust had been tempted only to be cruelly taken away.
It was the last piece binding Ethereal's allegiance, and in a single night he threw it all away. By midnight he'd killed over a dozen Cybertronian military personnel including members of his own squad before making his way to Kaon where he joined the Decepticon forces.
Since then Ethereal has been a loyal Decepticon soldier, constantly killing whatever enemy stands in his way and only barely restrained from doing so against his allies. Many of who even now fear his arrival on the newly reborn Cybertron just as much as the Autobots who know of him.
Strengths :
MINIMUM of three bullets ( Full sentences required ).
- Ethereal has been trained in stealth since near his creation and was talented enough to train others. His ability to phaseshift has only made this more efficient.
- At close range Ethereal is a dangerous threat due to his hard hitting shotguns along with his ability to effectively wield his knife as well as possessing sufficient ability in hand to hand combat.
- He also possesses high reflexes and although he does not possess enhanced athletic abilities he can still rely on his reflexes to avoid most dangers.
- It is perhaps a surprise considering the rest of his personality that Ethereal is a cunning individual willing to wait for the perfect opportunity and due to his rather well known bloodlust more than a few are quick to forget this fact.
- Ethereal once served as a high ranking officer, and as such possesses both experience as a field officer and commander looking after a roster of soldiers.
Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of three bullets (Full sentences required).
- Ethereal is not particularly quick when running or in his alternative mode often reaching below average speeds for a Cybertronian in car form.
- As he is not particularly quick this only exasperates the issue that Ethereal does not carry an efficient long range option due to him possessing only shotguns and a dagger.
- If Ethereal fails to kill an opponent who's narrowly escaped him he often becomes obsessive taking their survival as a personal slight that must be paid at all costs. In the same regard an enemy who has bested him, will find themselves under similar treatment with only direct orders from a higher up officer to target another (and it must be an order to attack something else) preventing him from continuing to hound them.
- Ethereal is also not a charismatic individual lacking the qualities to inspire loyalty or sway others to his line of thinking without the use of cold emotionless facts.
- He possesses a hatred for Predacons and all other beastformers often taking his time to deal with them in a way that is neither efficient or quick.
Character Access : Anyone may use Ethereal 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.
