Description and now... a clean version of one of my older tfoc's.

this is dart. he's ...uhm... well, sort of a big wimp. lol basically. he was always fun to play back when i rp'd with him. i eventually have to redesign his buddy (fury) so that i can finally have the two finalized for when i get this whole gen none fancomic thing rolling.

to see the sketchy ref sheet i posted for him, check that here: [link]

and here's his slighty refined bio (it's wordy... sorry about that):

Name: Dart
Alt: Rally Car
Function: Courier

Personal Quote: "Can't we just talk about it?"
or
"NOT IN THE FACE! NOT IN THE FACE!" (seriously. that's what it used to be)

Dart is a courier by trade, but he'd rather do anything else because his job usually takes him into some very shady places that he'd rather not be. He's a very timid character and really isn't a fan of fighting... or explosions, gunfire, flying, femmebots (Dart: girls? EEP!), humans, sharp pointy objects, and least of all Decepticons. He's always unsure of himself and to make up for his awkwardness, he'll crack jokes and poke fun at himself. You'll know when he's nervous or uneasy because he'll start rambling and try to talk his way out of the situation. Though he does actually try to hold himself at times to a higher standard. He is always down on himself and thinks that he has to live up to the expectations of his partner Fury. This leads to Dart having a very guilty conscious. He often feels like a lot of the time when something he's involved in goes wrong, it's probably his fault... even when that's the not even close to the truth. He is actually the twin brother of the (my tfoc) decepticon named Mischief... and he couldn't be any more her opposite.

Weapons and Abilities: He carries two plasma pistols on holsters mounted at his hips. Not the most powerful weapons in the world, but they're small and light. He would really hate to carry anything larger because it would only slow him down (Dart: "seriously... like a sword? who the frag needs a sword???"). He would only carry one, but he carries two because he often will lose one or forget to bring back-up ammo... or... one of the weapons will break due to carelessness or lack of proper maintenance. he doesn't carry them because he feels he NEEDS them. he carries them because he's ordered to have a weapon on him. He's not really a speedster, but his speed is a bit above average thanks to some modifications (vents, turbo boosts). He would have you believe the speed is to help him do his job, but in his mind the boosts work MUCH better for running away from battle. (Dart: OMGGETMEOUTTAHEEEEERRRREEEEEE!)

Alt Mode: Rally car (like a wrx... or a ford focus... or something along those lines. he was originally a dodge dart). He needed an alt mode on earth that was small and quick and that would be able to traverse most terrain.

Weakness: He is his own weakness. His second guessing and fear of... well... just about everything always gets the better of him.

Dart is partnered with another bot named Fury. Fury (who i have to redesign too) often views dart as the little brother he never had and dart looks up to fury much like a older sibling. fury is always standing up for dart... covering his aft when he gets in trouble, which is something that happens a lot.

*grins* A courier's job is NOT to go into delightful hand to hand combat. It's to get the stuff you're carrying safely to where it needs to go, thank you very much.

Running away in terror at bullets, swords, lasers, and giant vicious dogs is a completely acceptable method of this. Trust me, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Screaming "Not in the Face!" is optional, but often wise!

WillMangin In reply to korat [2010-08-17 01:34:55 +0000 UTC]

i find that "not in the face" is slightly more honorable of a phrase than "here! take all my money! just don't hurt me!"

lol i'll have to come to you if i ever have trouble writing for him.
"dart is surrounded by bad guys and in an impossible doom-impending type situation! what would you do?"
or even...
"would would a favorite flavor of icecream for dart would be?"
jk

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

jotaro-shima In reply to WillMangin [2010-08-16 23:05:43 +0000 UTC]

For the first one:

Since there is really no way to run from this type of situation. The only way out is to ASSIST in the "doom-impending type situation," thinking it would mean less fighting in the end. I say "assist" because I don't think that Dart has the courage to confront it head-on. He'll find another Autobot along the way and ask for his help and offer assistance along the way.

In the event that he can't find another Autobot to help him, he will take the task on himself. But he'll whine about it the whole time. When he is finally congratulated for his accomplishment, he will say something on the lines of "Nah! It was nothing!" while nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

I know you were kidding about the second one. But I'll have a crack at it:

Dart has always wondered what chocolate ice cream tastes like, as he's heard that chocolate can help one relax. That's just what Dart needs, lol.

WillMangin In reply to jotaro-shima [2010-08-17 01:40:35 +0000 UTC]

and what dart doesn't need... caffine... anything that would make him more jumpy and paranoid.

your answer for the first question... spot on! haha! that's awesome. lol

When I think of the "NOT IN THE FACE! NOT IN THE FACE!", it makes me think of The Tick's Arthur! Quite an interesting profile! At least he'd probably have enough speed to 'Run away from the hills!'

WillMangin In reply to Blackvegetable [2010-08-16 22:13:02 +0000 UTC]

lol just for fun, i should make fury's quote be "SPOOOOOON!" jk between the two of them, they are a little bit like the tick and arthur. XD i should go back and edit in the special short range teleport ability i originally gave him. he used to be able to "dart" short distances to escape dangerous situations... and to cheat in races.
