Weaponry
There are a bunch of weapons listed here

Primary Weapon
387BR- Battle Rifle


Description: The 387BR is a rifle developed by Nitros which doubles as a cross between an assault rifle and a marksmen rifle. The scope and three-round burst system allow for quick and precise shots. 

Secondary Weapon : Energon Battle Pistol


Description: This was the first weapon owned by Nitros, back during his days as a member of a gang. He has kept it as a reminder of what he once was. The pistol itself doesn't see much use unless Nitros runs out of Battle Rifle ammo. 

Other Weapons :
Headlight Machine Guns

Description : While in both vehicle and robot modes, his headlights can slide up to reveal dual-barreled machine guns. The guns are probably his most powerful weapon, being able to tear through most armor. However, in robot mode the guns are very inaccurate except at close ranges.

Gadgets :
Nitros has a wide range of gadgets. Here's a list.

-Cy-gar Bombs: He lights 'em, takes a puff, then throws them. Ka-Blam. His own invention.
-Smart Knives: Special throwing knives which can lock onto a target and seek them out, using micro-thrusters to propel itself towards the target and follow it. Again, his own invention.
- Satellite Drones: Small, coffee mug sized drones which Nitros sends into the air to monitor the battle-field. They alert him to enemy whereabouts and groundbridge openings. 
-TacPad: A small touch-screen on his left forearm which he can use to activate machinery he has linked to it, detonate bombs, send messages, play angry-birds...
-Visor: Shows him his current status, what parts of him have been injured, and a tactical map of the battlefield. Complete with enemy sigs!

Melee :

Cyber Steel Shortsword [Shatter-Spark]
Melee Weapon Description (Optional): The main weapon of his deceased squad-mate, the former Greatsword was broken in half by a decepticon brute before he killed Nitros' mate. Nitros now uses it as a short-sword. The jagged edge is great for un-clean kills and stabbing things.

Personality :
Nitros the General is a stern and commanding figure. He expects the best out of his soldiers and if he doesn't get it, he will by the time he gets done chewing them out. He has a habit of smoking Cy-gars while planning strikes and when commanding his troops. He also is not afraid to get out and fight with his men, earning him their respect along the way.

Nitros the Engineer is like a kid at Christmas when he sees new and innovative technology. You can almost see the gears churning inside his helm as he tries to think of ways to improve it. He is a curious individual and imaginative individual who finds his home among mechanical parts and circuits. 

Nitros the Mech is a kind and friendly individual. He jokes with his superiors and those of equal rank to him on a regular basis and comments on things regularly. He can be quite the chatter box if you really get him going.

Altogether, Nitros is an imaginative and friendly person. He likes to dream, but doesn't forget to socialize. He is stern on the field and lets others lower than him in rank know that they are, but strives to earn their respect by fighting in the same war they do and not just sitting in a command office. 

Courage: 7

Charisma: 8 off the field, 5 on the field. 


History ( Optional as some like to make it up as they go along ) :

Nitros was born about 18 human years before the war began in the city of Kalis. There, he lived with his mother and sister in a sky-rise apartment, right over the Sub-Surface Fusion Reactor. In fact, the elevator in the apartment building even had a button that would take workers living on the lower levels directly down there. Nitros would sometimes sneak on with them in the early morning as a child, and be amazed by the reactor every time he saw it. This started his love of technology and was why he began studying Engineering while in the Kalis Academy. 

He lived a great life with his family. His mother was a star reporter for the Kalis News Network and was paid greatly. Nitros was never low on energon as a child. He and his sister always got along well, rarely ever getting into fights. Yes, everything seemed perfect for the young mech. Then, tragedy struck. One day, around the age of 12, he invited his sister to sneak down with the workers to the Fusion Reactor. While trying to replicate the Reactor's structure on his 3D holo-pad, the alarms began ringing. Workers began running out, Nitros getting caught up with them. He realized he had been separated from his sister during the chaos, and began to scream for her as he was put in the elevator. He thought he saw a flash of her purple armor before the elevator doors closed. This was the last glimpse of his sister he ever had. When the elevator reached the bottom floor of his apartment building, he was rushed out and jammed into a large car full of workers. About twenty minutes later he heard a loud boom and everything went white. 

Later, he found out that the reactor had over-heated and exploded, devastating the center of the city and vaporizing his apartment building, as well as many others. He spent days searching for his mother and sister, but found no trace of either. 

Abandoned and alone, he quickly joined up with a street gang by the name of The Survivors, group of young mechs and feemes who were also left without families due to the explosion. For years, he and his gang terrorized the lower streets of Kalis, robbing homes and intimidating cops. After a daring raid on a police station armory, he gained an Energon Battle Pistol. He trained himself with the weapon and became quite proficient with it. He left the gang after they became too violent for him, murdering innocents and robbing the old. He realized they were all just angry and Nitros did not want to turn out like that. So he finally let go of his anger and his loss after a final visit to the place where his home once stood. Nitros then left Kalis for Praxus at the age of 17. He became a cop in Praxus and worked there until war broke out.

He initially joined up as a Scout, before eventually being promoted to Stealth Agent. During one mission involving bringing down a decepticon Bomber Craft from the inside, both of his legs were blown off and his chassis was severely damaged. While in the medbay, he chatted with a mech from the Engineer Corps, reinvigorating his love of technology. After being upgraded to a new body, he re-enlisted into the Robotics Division as a non-combatant. Nitros developed multiple drones and remote controlled turrets before finally feeling the call of combat once again. This time, he went in as a soldier, using his newly crafted battle-rifle. He was quickly integrated into Squad S and became good friends with a mech named Rusty. Nitros went on multiple combat missions with Squad S, including one where they raided a POW camp and liberated hundreds of prisoners. Rusty also had a love of technology, and they worked together on new ideas while on down-time at base. During a mission in which the objective was to stop an attack on an Autobot Outpost, Rusty was killed by a con brute. Nitros held his dying friend and performed the traditional Cybertronian Death Rites on him before burying him outside the outpost. He then took up Rusty's broken sword and vowed to end the war, one way or another. 

Nitros' accomplishments were eventually recognized by the High Command, and he was promoted to General. Unlike most others of his rank, he actually went out on the field to oversee his tactical strikes and battles. This made him stand out among them in a unique way.

He did use a particular messenger quite a lot. That messenger being the young Sparkflare. He was always kind to the young mech, and even trained him for a little bit. 

When the Arc plans were proposed, he was one of the first to endorse them. He boarded the ship with the others and set off for Earth. He was present when Watchman was made Prime and the new command structure was integrated. 

After a few months on Earth, tragedy struck the general. While taking a relaxing drive, he encountered decepticon scouts. Caught without his weapons, Nitros called for back-up and attempted to take them on with just his fists. Sadly, he was quickly gunned down by the scouts, and by the time the the autobots arrived, his corpse was already being dragged into the scouts' groundbridge. 

But this was not the last of the General. While on the Arc, he developed a program that would trigger when he died. He called it Operation: Rebirth. He periodically saved his mind and his memories onto a data-drive, so that when he died he could technically be restored. When his spark-signature went off-line, his mind began downloading into a new body. A process that would take six years to complete. Now Nitros is back, and ready for the new war upon him.  

Family ( Optional, some just have none ) :
-Azul- Mother, deceased

-Levitas- Sister, deceased 

Strengths :

- He is very tech savvy
- He is also imaginative, making way for new tech and tactics
- He is a very good strategist, having planned many strikes back on Cybertron
- Nitros always has an idea boiling up in his processor. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. 

Weaknesses:
- Can be naive and could be deceived if a friend does it.
- Becomes emotional if Kalis is mentioned, though expect to be hit if the mention is a joke about the event.
- Reminisces about his past failings too much.
- He is also rather inaccurate with his headlight machine guns.

Earth. A beautiful and lush planet... or at least the part he was in was. He was driving through the U.S state of Georgia, admiring the scenery of the countryside. He was passing by a field when he saw it. A rip through the air, a green disturbance in the calm. A groundbridge, and the signal wasn't Autobot. He transformed and took cover behind a small hill. He deployed his only drone to scout out the opposition. He cursed when he got the results back. Five cons, armed with blasters and assault rifles. One had a rocket launcher. 


Dammit, I was hoping they wouldn't find us so fast... I'll need back-up since I left my weapons back at base.

:High Grand, this is General Nitros. We have an issue. I've got five con scouts just outside of Atlanta. I'm unarmed but I don't think they'll care. Back-up is needed.::


He ended the comm and vented. Nitros decided to get a quick peek at the enemy for himself and crawled to the top of the hill. When he peeked over, he came face to face with a con scout. 


Ahhh!


Ahhh!


Nitros punched the mech in the faceplate before diving over the hill and the mech. He came up on one knee before springing at the nearest con, tackling him and beginning to wail on him. That's when he felt the first shot, It was high, to his upper right back. He growled and twisted around, his headlights sliding up to reveal a pair of machine guns. The mech backed up at the sight of them even though Nitros had brought no ammo for them. However, the con he had tackled used this opportunity to sweep the distracted General's legs out from under him and cause him to fall. The con shot him multiple times, point-blank, in the abdomen and chest. Nitros roared and jumped up. He grabbed the back of the con's helm with his left servo and formed his right one into a wedge. He then jammed the wedge into the mech's visor, piercing through it and the mech's processor. He pulled his servo out, energon caked it's digits and it's palm. That's when he noticed the remaining four surrounding him, guns aimed. He was venting heavy, and he was bleeding profusely, the grass forever stained with his energon. 


Alright you sons of glitches, what's holding ya back?


The scouts opened fire, and riddled him with bullets and burns from lasers. He roared and growled, charging at one and back-handing him so hard that the con went cart-wheeling several feet. He charged another one and grabbed his blaster, crushing it with one servo in an adrenaline fueled rage and slung him into another con. He stopped and looked at the remaining one, who happened to be holding a rocket launcher. He looked over the con's shoulder and saw another ripple in the air. A groundbridge was forming. His back-up.


~Heh, if only sooner right?~


The con stared at him for a few moments. This would be the scout's first kill. He positioned the rocket launcher on his shoulder and aimed. Nitros stood there, still watching the groundbridge form. The con turned off the safety. Nitros though he saw a hand reaching through the portal. The con pulled the trigger, and Nitros' world went blank. The General's last thought was



~Hell, I hope that contingency plan works...~
