OC Characters

[HeavyArmor]

Hello there all, so I've been milling around the site looking through the rules and such and would be interested in joining. So I do have a few questions to ask here. If you guys could help me out with this I'd be really grateful.

So first off my first plans on making the character are making a frontline kind of heavy infantry style character, however I really want suggestions on how I should do a character like this.

Second, What continuity are we running off here history wise and if so how would a character be birthed in said cannon. I know in Prime they mention the well of allsparks however how would the character be birthed? (Need a better idea of this)

My third question is where is manpower needed most, Bot's or Con's?

So I'd also would like to know if anyone would like to make a preset connection with my character. (Just makes my character have a smooth transition into the rp if he has some connections with some people)

Anyway uh that's all I have in questions for right now so if I could get some responses to this I'd be really grateful.

I'm not a Mod, and I'm sure they'll add something here but thought I'd throw in what I know.

1) Looks like you already have an name and some ideas, but if you need some inspiration you might want to look at the adoptables! You could squeeze your character into a role that someone wants already, and it would solve both your #1 thing and your #4 thing!--> tf-prime-rp.proboards.com/thread/35/wanted-characters

2)TFP and Aligned! As to spark birth.. I know we have something settled on but I'm not sure the details on it. A mod'll have to get to you on that.

3)Er. Same here. Not positive. I feel like we have a lot of Cons but maybe that's just because I play one. : P

4) Like I said above, check out the adoptables. I think your OCs alliance will help this a lot. Everyone finds connections pretty easily here, I feel. Don't worry too much about it!

Hi there. Mod here, and just chiming in to add to Jetfire's post. Thanks, Mingo!

You'll find everything you need to know about the world of the RPG on the game's wiki, found here: tfp-rp-wiki.tiddlyspace.com/

At the moment, we're quite low on Autobots, but you're welcome to apply a character for any faction (or the non-faction Neutrals). It depends on what would best suit your character.

Continuity-wise, we diverge at Season One's episode 'Crisscross', and haven't gone down the beast hunter route at all.

It's a little harder to talk about existing connections between your character and another one already in play as we don't know anything about them other than they were/are a frontliner. If you think it would make sense for a character to have a shared history, then it's recommended that you contact the mun themselves. Only actively played characters can share a history (unless it's canonical), as sharing a history with a character who has not got a mun makes it much harder for a player to pick them up, or even be interested in doing so.

I hope this helps! If you'd like to know any more specifics, post here or email the mods directly. Questions prior to application are very welcome!

Wow, I wasn't expecting so much help honestly. Thank you all for looking over the questions I had and answering them. Really looking forward to send the app in.
