-Character Info-
Name: Arcee
Age: Late 30’s, Early 40’s
Gender: Femme
Species: Cybertronian
Faction: Autobot
Original Occupation: Arcee was sparked originally in the enforcer class. Due to her abnormally small size, Arcee was stationed in the Skyway Patrol Enforcement Branch to capitalize on her speed and maneuvering ability.
Occupation/Specialization: Recon Scout/ Team Prime First Lieutenant/ Melee Specialist
Appearance/Alt Mode:
Height: Arcee is as short as ‘bots come, though she’s still twice the height as humans.
Description: Arcee is downright slim and dainty. Her primary coloration is blue with pink highlights and black and gray protoform. Her gauntlets, shin guards, helm, chassis, and waist are blue, while the rest of her arms and legs are the black protoform layer of her frame. Her servos transform to form her rapidfire ion repeaters and sharp metal blades extend along the length of her forearms. Both wheels from her vehicle mode rest in the heel of her pedes and blue ‘winglets’ extend outward from her back plates. A long crest rises straight up from the front of her helm.
Alt Mode: Arcee has a blue Suzuki Hayabusa1300 motorcycle as her alternate mode.
Character Relationships
When assigned to the Skyway Patrol Branch, Arcee was paired up with seasoned Enforcer, Tailgate, after running solo for several stellar cycles. Tailgate provided a stabilizing foil for the younger headstrong and temperamental Arcee. After joining the Autobots, Arcee and Tailgate would continue partnering up in their Delta Squadron. The two partners would develop a very close relationship after being together for many cycles. Sadly, however, Tailgate’s death left a deep emptiness within Arcee. Since arriving on Earth, Arcee was a close friend and partner to Autobot Cliffjumper. Arcee served as Optimus Prime’s First Lieutenant and Field Commander on Team Prime. She is also the entrusted guardian to the human youth, Jackson Darby.
History: Before the war, Arcee was sparked as a commissioned protoform in the enforcer class for melee combatant function for the Enforcer Special Forces. However, the engineer responsible for her frame design and construction was of the eccentric sort and drifted from the standard frame type for melee combat. Arcee faced much opposition early on from Command Staff and fellow enforcers as to her suitability in the Special Forces. So, when she began training at the Iacon Enforcer Academy, Arcee was placed in the First Class Scout Division instead. Bull-headed and determined to prove herself as an effective fighter, she studied intensely the advanced techniques in the Arts of Crystalocution and Tekkaido, further enhancing her melee capabilities, much to the chagrin of her peers.
However, at graduation, Arcee was stationed in the Skyway Patrol Enforcer Branch, rather than the Special Forces, despite her higher combat test score in the top ten percentile. Resentful, Arcee entered a rebellious period during her first few years in the Skyway Patrol, disobeying orders to wait for back up and making quick pursuit of her quarry. She quickly gained a reputation for being the bane of existence for the most reckless of speeders on Cybertron's Skyway. Often times, she would match speed with them for several minutes, before cutting deliberately in front of them, forcing speeders to swerve and screech to a stop. Her job on the Skyway did allow for opportunity to travel over many regions of Cybertron, including some of the more shady places. Arcee found escape in outlying Nightclubs and Dive Bars from the everyday pressure of the enforcer class as an acrobatic dancer in her off cycles. Normally, such questionable activities were categorized as inappropriate and judged as a serious offense against any enforcer caught participating outside of their caste. However, Arcee's Superior Officer overlooked her transgression due to her discretion and because she was too slagging good and effective at her job. As department heads changed, tolerance for Arcee's impetuous and brazen behavior on the skyway disappeared and she was partnered up with the newly transferred and seasoned patroller, Tailgate. Able to keep up with the two-wheel in both speed and wit, Tailgate proved to be a compatible foil with Arcee and forging her into more of a team player. The two of them would continue to be partners until the outbreak of war.
When Arcee first joined the Autobots, she served as a recon scout for Delta Team and as the resident hand-to-hand instructor when available. On missions, Arcee teamed up with her former Skyway Patrol partner, Tailgate. Arcee and Tailgate continued to work together for many years, helping to further the Autobot cause. As such, the two partners formed a very close relationship. Unfortunately, Tailgate lost his life in an attempt to rescue her from the Decepticon, Arachnid. Arcee only managed to escape a similar fate when Cliffjumper and Bumblebee came to her aid at the last possible moment.
Putting on a tough front, Arcee would continue struggling with Tailgate’s death over the vorns, blaming herself. Leaving behind her Delta Squadron, she joined a frontline unit to help in the harshest battlefronts. Arcee buried herself in the war; going from one mission to another and slowly isolate herself from other Autobots. Eventually, she scouted alone for prolong periods in the field and report into her unit only as necessary.
As the planet began to power down, the mass Exodus of Cybertron began. Arcee and her unit were among the independent teams to remain behind to watch for Decepticon stragglers. Following a lead, Arcee was captured along with longtime acquaintance, Cliffjumper. With some convincing from the chatterbox, Arcee agreed to work with him and managed to outwit Shockwave and escape through his experimental space bridge to Earth.
Won over by Cliff’s patience and understanding, Arcee accepted his friendship. Since then, she’s been a senior member and reliable lieutenant to Optimus Prime upon their arrival to Earth.
Sadly, however, her misfortune with partners would continue when Cliffjumper was ambushed by Vehicons and killed by Starscream. The death of Cliffjumper reinforced her policy of working alone. Shortly there after, Arcee reluctantly accepts the responsibility of acting ‘guardian’ for the young human, Jack Darby, who was accidentally involved into the Transformers’ war. Now, Arcee, having grown fond of Jack, will do anything to protect him, even if it means surrendering her own life.
Theme Song: I’m A Survivor www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ1AcDzyCB8
Stronger www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo_YreZe64I
Personality:Tough, resilient, fearless, loyal, protective, snarky, strong willed.
Underestimating Arcee is asking for trouble, when she'd willingly go head-to-head with 'cons three times her size. When a dangerous mission is required, she'll be the first to volunteer and ask where and how hard to strike. A war weary and jaded warrior, Arcee drives herself relentlessly in on and off the field as means to bury the pain of loss with the promise of retribution. In most cases, Arcee follows Prime's orders to the letter, but unfortunately when circumstances take Arcee back to that dark place resulted from either her captivity or discovering Cliffjumper's fate, her fury will override her normal common sense and levelheadedness. Arcee's outwardly distance and loof with ‘bots she doesn’t know. Only time and patience will allow a bot to see past her tough exterior for the very caring and protective comrade the blue femme truly is. Regardless, Arcee will come to the aid of any Autobot in trouble.
Likes: Kicking con aft, joyriding with Jack, verbal ball with comrades, ice skating, secretly likes dancing
Dislikes: Certain spiders, certain wily seekers,over protective mothers, being compared to said mothers, overly cocky mechs, human children that won't stay put when told.
Strengths/Weapons:
Weapons: In robot mode, Arcee utilizes either finely honed arm blades or rapid-fire ion repeaters with both sets of weapons cleverly integrated into her forearms. Highly proficient with both, Arcee is able to quickly switch between blade and blaster to maximize her melee capabilities, which can create an unpleasant surprise for her enemies. Her vehicular mode carries no outward weapon modifications, but some opponents might argue her cycle form is a weapon itself, as testament to the treadmarks decorating their frames.
RECONNAISSANCE - Arcee was trained from the get-go to be the forerunner of any team she was a part of. She’s quick. She’s stealthy. She’ll be in and out of a sector before the ‘cons even realize she’s there.
Melee Combat/Martial Arts - During her enforcer training and afterwards, Arcee excelled in melee combat with her studies in two martial art styles: Crystalocution and Tekkaido.
-Crystalocution: an ancient martial art in which opponents are destroyed via striking their metal fracture points.
-Tekkaido: a previous lost martial art that incorporates an individual’s transformation ability into their combat stance and movements.
These Martial Art styles used with her arm blades create a deadly melee combination.
Speed/Agility – Arcee’s small form permits her to outmaneuver the majority of larger opponents. She is able to pull off incredible acrobatic movements on the ground or in the air.
Sharpshooter – Arcee’s not a sniper by any means, but because of her years of combat experience and skill it permits her to snap off a bull-eyes into an enemy’s vital areas when it counts.
Weaknesses:
Physical:
Light armor – While Arcee is surprising resilient and durable for her frame-type, she is still the most vulnerable to powerful physical hits and laser fire.
Weak Firepower/Strength – Let’s face it. Arcee’s not going to be winning any arm-wrestling contests with Bulkhead. Also, her ion repeater blasters don't carry that much punch to them.
Mental:
Loner – Arcee prefers to go on patrols or break rank on her own, when the Autobots are hard pressed for needed energon supplies or a Decepticon gets away with vital intel. Despite her skill to hold her own for a while, she can be overwhelmed without back up.
Special skills: Ice skating and dancing (when no one is around)
Extra Info: It was discovered that Arcee is also apparently a user of drunk fu back during her academy days. However, the only recounting of that story can be recalled from the bots who found themselves in the medbay the following cycle. Arcee has no memory of it.
Sample RP:
Gunfire exchanging exploding in the distance, Arcee raced hurriedly over rocky terrain toward the hot zone, stopping briefly to drop off her passenger.
“Jack, I need you to stay here where it’s safe,” Arcee shouted, engine revving hard. “If you see Optimus, let him know the Decepticon are moving in on their target.”
“Gotcha, Arcee,” Jack nodded in confirmation. “Kick some Decepticon aft!”
“Always do.” The motorcycle said in parting.
The blue femme hustled away from her human partner, burning black fumes and increasing her acceleration to a high climax in roar. Dodging stray missiles and laser fire, Arcee shot into the smoky air and transformed mid leap. She crashed down onto a distracted Eradicon, guns bare and prepped to fire.
Her optics danced alive with an electric gleam.
“Hit me with your best shot, boys.”
