#praxian oc

[maplesyruplover]

It's a weird experience taking a transformers OC and making them more fleshed out to be able to run a Transformers DND session with.

If anyone has any good androgynous/nonbinary/etc voice claim ideas, please throw them my way.

Crash Cart has a Scottish/Gaelic accent, and I literally can't find anything besides the Lindworm from Hilda and possibly Blue Diamond from Steven Universe.

I decided to do a dtiys of my friend @vodid. I normally don't put this much detail and time into my art so I'm pretty proud of this piece.

GOT SOME MORE IDEAS FOR THE SILLIES!!11!!!

So after some deliberate thinking (that is daydreaming about it in class and almost getting in trouble for it) I think I got some more concrete backstory ideas for my OC's. Mighty thanks to @/nerdfins for their help to me navigating the endless amounts of lore and worldbuilding this series has, seriously, why is there so many-

After some research, I decide to change their names. Their names are now Horizon (the Decepticon) and Buckle Up (Autobot).

For Horizon, apparently when I looked it up there's already a character named Hurricane, a "Turbomasters' Defense Tactics Specialist", whatever that is. For Buckle Up, Velocity already exist (a medic for the Lost Light) along with Boombox, apparently. I know it's probably fine if I went with the same character name (these characters are kinda niche) but I just wanna be safe.

Because of the many continuities in the series and how it potrays things, I'll try to keep their stories brief so it can be adapted to different universes if I want to.

Anyway, onto the ramble!

Horizon

As we all know, Velocitron is dubbed the Speed Planet, where everything is centered around how fast one can go, whether it be political issues or just daily life. And as a Velocitron native, Horizon understood that if he were to be recognized by society, he has to follow then norms of the world. But as time goes on, he grew disillusioned by the notion, pained that his worth is determined by how fast he is, and so began rebelling; not participating in races, refusal to modify his components to increase his speed, and generally keeping to himself.

This lead to his ostracization by his peers for how "slow" he is. Never mind that he's one of the few who has a Flier alt-mode in the planet, that just put a target on his back. After loads of backlash and harassment, he couldn't take it, and decide to leave the planet for Cybertron, where he could hopefully live a far more relaxed life.

Somehow it's even worse.

Back in Velocitron, all that was expected of you is how fast can you go in a race track. In Cybertron, your entire existence is put into question, and it determines what kind of life you lead until the end of time. He was forced to work as cargo, and while it was better than risking his life on high speed races, it brought the same amount of helplessness he felt back in his home planet. Seeing the higher ups treat the lower caste bots as nothing but tools doesn't help his case, either.

He grew anger, bitter, mortified. He escaped one bad life situation, only to end up in another, even worse one. It seems like a never ending nightmare for him.

Then he heard whispers from below, about a Cybertronian who swore to destroy the system that governs their planet, to make a new world where everyone is treated equal, where the weak won't have to suffer under the hands of the mighty.

When the Decepticon name was spread across the planet, he was inspired. When their attacks made waves, he was one of many who joined arms with them as a result.

But looking back, was that really the best choice for him?

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Buckle Up

Some say his build is too large for him to be a native Praxian. And to that, he'd say they're right. Technically speaking, the city is not his place of origin. But he's spent so long in them that if anyone asked, it's much simpler to say that he's Praxian.

Not that the experiences he went through there made it worthwhile, though.

He, along with many Sparklings of various ages and origins, all lived in a large, single housing unit governed by their Guardian (he never got to know their name). With so many Sparks in one place, not a day goes by without some sort of fight or commotion happening. And the frequent absence of their "Guardian" doesn't help things. The older 'bots practically had to take over the role to keep some semblance of order around the house.

He got along with some 'bots (even getting closer to one particular bot) but he couldn't help but despise some others. As the years go by, he craved for something more, something lying beyond the walls of his home. And so, once he got his adult frames, he paid farewell to his house mates and got out of Praxus, wanting to see what Cybertron has to offer.

During his travels he gained an appreciation for musical arts, and began searching for job opportunities regarding that genre. Of course, with his build and origin, not many places were willing to take him in. He managed to snag a few spots, but it became unsatisfactory for him as time went on, so he'll quit those. He made frequent visits to his old home every once in a while. Rinse and repeat, this was his life; monotonous.

He did heard rumors of a Cybertronian rising through the ranks, who's determined to beat the corrupt system that governs their planet. He'd be lying when he said he isn't rooting for the guy.

That's until the destruction of Praxus reached his audials. He was in Iacon when it happened. He rushed back to his home as fast as his wheel could take him. But all that was left for him was nothing but rubble, and no sign of online Sparks. Not even the one whom he cherished the most.

When a call for arms is broadcasted by the Autobots, he threw himself into the brutal training to avenge those he lost.

Vengeance can influence a lone soul through many things. But will it lead them to the right path?

And that's a wrap! This is all I could think of for my OC's as of right now, so if y'all have any questions or suggestions for me about them, go wild! I'll honestly take whatever ya give me, this franchise has so many lore it's driving me crazy. Until then, take care!

[anon-e-miss]

Question for you: I have a shared oc from Praxis that has a double set of door wings, one set naturally rests high, the other low. Curious how he would be viewed in your Ties That Bind verse? (Which was a great read btw, had a good time reading it)

I suspect he would be very confusing to a lot of Praxians. He would be a legal irregularity. The danger would be someone trying to bind his upper wings. Good odds he would be treated as something of a peculiarity and that could be very unpleasant.

The high upper doors would keep him free but probably with harder social and economic opportunities.

Glad you enjoyed the fic!

Hero (OC) in Tfp be like:

Hero after wrecking everything: I'm destiny's grandchild!

Everyone looking at Smokescreen

Smokescreen: What?

Story:

So Hero is basically the foster kid of Smokescreen in my Tower AU. She is a clone of multiple talented fighters however the head of the research thought she was a failure (she wasn't obedient) so she was thrown in the dumpster at a young age. She is really grateful for Smokescreen and that he puts up with her everyday and loves her unconditionally.

Smokescreen: So you are my daughter in another universe.

Hero: Yap. I don't know what have you done to deserve this cruel fate either.

Looks:

She is rather tall and she has a masculine looking body type (she is often mistaken as a mech). She has a white and orange paint job and her alt mode is a Lamborghini. She has a scar on her intake and she has a gap between her denta on the right side of her face. She carries a long blade and a slightly shorter blade. Hero has bombs disguised as smoke bombs and smoke bombs disguised as bombs. She doesn't have blasters instead she has a crossbow on her wrist that fires needles that cause drowsiness and dizziness. She has a spare blade in her heels if everything goes south (for the record she doesn't have high heels. No one can fight in that scrap.)

Arcee: The Smokescreen in your universe let's you fight deceptions?!?

Hero: He doesn't just letting me. He encourages me!

Arcee: He is even more irresponsible than ours then.

Hero: Ya Arcees are all the same. Killjoys.

Personality:

Fun loving, own critiquing bastard. Would and did spit into her enemy's face. If she is ever serious about something it's about family and teammates. Hard to piss off but if you manage to you will soon meet a hellbent sword master. She is really childish and has trouble paying attention. The master of wit and one liners. She has a habit of mimicking Smokescreen and his habits (she also does that with her uncles.) Her biggest fears are being alone, losing her loved ones, not living up to her carrier's expectations (Smokescreen doesn't have any tho).

Hero: 🎵We are going on a trip in our rocket ship flying through the sky~🎶

Megatron and Optimus fighting in the background.

Megatron: What's wrong with her?

Optimus: Only Primus knows.

Base info:

Name: Hero

Age: Around 15-16 in human years.

Type: A mix between a polihexian and praxian.

Hight: 7 meter

Weight: (It's rude to ask that question)

Residency: Iacon

Job: Member of the Elite guard youth camp

Optic colour: Aqua

Hero pointing at her self before Bumblebee and Smokescreen: This is your future!

Bumblebee releases a relieved sigh.

Hero grinning at him widely.

Bumblebee: Oh scrap.

making some transformers oc's for a story I'll probably never write but I love the dorks anyway.

Vivi has the personality of a used car salesman, much like swindle, except a lot less successful. She likes to think of herself as the leader of the rag tag team of bots that are hiding in old mechanic shop in L.A. Though if you ask any of the others they'd say Zephyr is in charge. She's competitive and highly motivated it's hard to steer her off track once she's sets her mind to something, which tends to get her into trouble. Vivi comes from a Cybertroian colony that didn't partake in the war, as such they're a neutral who'll try selling stuff to either side if the opportunity arises. If asked how she ended up on Earth she'll try twist the conversation a different direction. They like any form of monetary gain, compliments and earth so far.

Zephyr is an old bot who sided with the Decepticons early on in the war. He doesn't like to talk much of his early life back on Cybertron, but one can guess the Praxian didn't have it easy. He's not the easiest to get along with either, but he tends to be the voice of cynical reason for the group. You can find him trying to stop Vivi from doing something too stupid, or just trying to let off steam with a good long drive. One thing is for certain he has a healthy hatred for commander Starscream, whom is the reason he's stuck on earth in the first place. After a harebrained scheme went south he's found himself abandoned and alone, until Vivi later found him. now she's stuck on him like a space barnacle trying to get him on their latest shenanigan's. ultimately though he's hoping this will somehow get him back to Cybertron, til then he's just gonna have to comfy and enjoy the ride.

Praxus survives au

I'm 100% for Praxians going apeshit (either alone or with the flyers)

And Prowl and springer's complicated situation 🥺, I've seen fics of him having brothers, maybe they'll help them? There is no Kup here to help

It's certainly possible that Springer has siblings (Nightprowler is the one we usually use here, but he's waaay down the line). We could maybe use Smokescreen or Bluestreak, they're pretty popular options. Or OCs, if you want smthn fresh. Are they Springer's full-blooded siblings, or only half?

TWINS

the top one is Puncture and the bottom one is Tactical 

Puncture is based on the Portland police cruiser and Tac is based on the state police cruiser

I FINALLY settled on references for Crash Cart and am actually working on drawing them using it instead of just winging it. 💀 the wheel wells, not the fender flares, and how far it's lowered don't match up to CC, but it's close enough to use as a reference.

https://www.motortrend.com/features/1976-fairlady-z-from-ashy-to-classy-in-just-12-months/

I LOVE Datsuns, and I just love the sporty almost drag race look of this car, and with them being a combat medic, prior first responder, how could I not go with something slick looking but affective?

[rattylvr]

Wip of my Praxian oc!!

Idk what to name them but they're a stage-hand for things like concerts and plays!

[gloomditch]

[ring-rong-rang-rung]

honestly the best part of what ive done to Starstrike in the Autobot Starstrike AU is imagining Starscream’s reaction to first hearing his daughter speak (badly) in High Vosian, and then seeing her use perfect Praxian doorwingspeak.

---

Starscream, interrogating Starstrike in High Vosian: Let us speak freely in our native language, shall we?

Starstrike: Y’all think I’mma fall for that, huh, ‘cause you don’t want Soundwave to listen in on ya?

Starscream, switching to Vosian wingspeak: ... Okay, let’s use wingspeak. You know who I am, right?

Starstrike, in Praxian wingspeak: As much as I pity the day I learned my true lineage, I spurn your claims of ancestry over me, as the only and best thing you ever did after I was born was gift me to the one I truly recognize as a parent.

Starscream: ...

Starstrike: ...

Starscream: Who the fuck did this to you?

Starstrike: I mean, you.

[mechanoidhelix]

tfw the character you’ve had for literally almost a decade (came into being in 2011- Will be celebrating their 10th year of existence in 2021) and has been through many, many, many, MANY changes finally.... FINALLY.... has a design you’re happy with.

[anon-e-miss]

I rlly like the Atlantis idea that one feverish anon had! Is the "desert king" in this case Jazz, or is it someone else (like Zeta?) I'm also imagining his former masters weren't that kind to him either, maybe they "trained" him to be able to do tricks and stuff, in case they wanted him to be an entertaining piece at a party. I feel bad for his calf/fry tho (I'm assuming its Bluestreak or Smokescreen) I can't imagine the tank is very big.... no proper room to swim or anything...... And they're in a desert, so its hot, and I can't imagine Praxian Mers are able to handle heat that well (especially since, for a lot of marine animals, the slight change in water temperature can have severe consequences and cause great harm or change.) Also, how do you think the Wild Praxian mers view their Captive bretheren? Do they want to rescue them, or do they view them as soft and week since they know nothing but their tanks and being fed by other mechs. ((Ngl this is giving me brain worms.... kinda wanna write something about this........))

Before I respond I want to place a public service announcement.

ANYONE IS WELCOME TO WRITE FIC INSPIRED BY WHAT'S SHARED HERE.

I am not possessive about ask plots. If I want to write a fic based on a thread, I will. It doesn't bother if you do too at all.

The only things I am possessive about are my OCs. I don't have many and I like people to ask permission to use them and to talk about characterization with me. Some of things characters were created by me in fragile moments and I am attached.

Moving on.

I like it being Jazz. He's a young king being gifted a serious peace offering after winning a war with Vos. Vos did not expect the creation of the kings they killed to stomp them but they got stomped. The aquarium is climate controlled so Prowl and spawn don't overheat. They would dry out quickly if they tried to escape and Prowl would be quite upset about that. It's a beautifully planted tank but definitely not so big for a mech sized fish. Some extra sadness. Prowl used to be able to sing and hear the song of his brethren back. In the desert, he's alone.

Wild Praxians feel bitty for their captive kin. Some have rescued captive Praxians. They are a liability though, they aren't fast so a lot of wild Praxians won't procreate with an escaped captive bred Praxian for fear of their creations inherited their fins.

Prowl has escaped before. He may be a wild born but captive bred mer.
