-Character Info
Name: Sniper
Age: Not exactly young anymore, but not old either (human equivalent would be around 25-30)
Gender (or human equivalent): Male
Species: Cybertronian
Faction: Decepticon turned Autobot
Occupation/Specialization: Hacker, information speacialist, spy.
Appearance: Sniper is a very lightly built robot, who has a very slender bodytype. It gives him great speed, but takes notably away from his ability to perform in close combat. Like most individuals of his race, he has a dark, carbon colored skeleton, and to shield it, armor plating. And as his vehicle mode is a "Lamborghini Aventador", his armor plating is venom green with red and black accents. The battle damage taken by the said armor is almost non-existant, giving the impression that Sniper does only a little field work outside of data gathering (such as scouting, surveiling and spying).
And to maTch his slender, almost frail bodytype, the 'Con has a slim facial structure and glowing red orbs for eyes. He has long, thin arms that hide away a mounted cannon, and a hacking tool that can be attached to different kinds of terminals in similar manner to Soundwave's tentacles. There are also slender legs to match. And as his leg structure allows his wheels to be on to be on the button of his heels, Sniper can use them to 'skate' given the right surroundings.This turncoat Decepticon also carries the red insignia of his former alignment in the front of his helm.
Personality: Sniper is a calculative and composed personality. But while he appears patient, cold and distant most of the time, beneath he is very greedy, proud and self-centered. His bad traits also include vanity, as he is very specific about his looks, almost too much so considering his profession. He is also a merchant by heart, and his loyalty is for the highest bidder. But while he is a mech of many vices, after the unexpected change of factions, Sniper has begun to show glimpses of good.
Likes: respect, being the best in his trade, green, flashy paint, information, trading, racing
Dislikes: disrespect, mud/dirt, Decepticons (especially Soundwave and Starscream), humiliation,
Historyt: During the war, Sniper worked as a hacker and an information specialist in a small team of data thieves. The "Protoform" stole data valuable to both sides of the on-going war, and sold it later on - to whom they saw fit. This squad was not aligned, but merely a group of rogues who had different skills in different areas, and were united by the ambition to rule the course of the war. Such great objective, however, proved to be far too much for such a small group. Despite the strong bonds between the members of the "Protoform" team, Sniper soon discovered that the members had begun to develop their own ideas on to whom the information should be sold to, and with what kind of a price tag. Many seemed to take side with the Autobots, while Sniper, in his lust for knowledge and power, was lured in by the Decepticon cause.
Eventually, tension built up in the team, causing the members to turn against each other. Sniper, the wielder of their information loot, decided that it was time to separate and sneaked out with all their data, attempting to buy his way into the Decepticon ranks. This task proved surprisingly easy, but Sniper was soon followed by his former team mates, who wished to avenge the betrayal and take back what was rightfully theirs. However, they were quickly outnumbered by the Decepticon troops, and despite their pleads, no mercy was shown. Sniper watched his team die, knowing that he possessed no means to save them anymore. And to this day, he bears a mark of regret that remains buried deep beneath his composed and cold facade.
The reason for Sniper's eventual leap to the other side of the war was a result of unfortunate events, mostly caused by the spy's own greed. He tried to join Starscream's cause to overthrow Megatron, but that didn't go as well as he had hoped for. Instead, Sniper himself got double-crossed.
Strengths: The intelligent and analytic Sniper is top of his class in information gathering, only topped by the eyes and ears of the Decepticons, Soundwave. He is very skilled in hacking, spying, scouting and pretty much everything that has to do with gathering information and intel. In battle, he tends to be true to his name and try to take out his enemies from longer distances, as in closer combat, he is very vulnerable. His great speed in both his alt mode and his robot mode can also be recognized as a major strength. Sniper is known to be a decepticon of a very proud nature - and this can also be seen as a weakness.
Weaknesses: However, as said before; due to Sniper's light build, he is very easily damaged in close combat. He tries to stay out of harm's way by providing back up. And as a newly reformed Autobot, Sniper has the tendency to be a lot more ruthless in battle and beyond, given the right circumstance. Despite choosing the side of good, the ways of the bad refuse to leave him. He is also known to have envious and greedy personality traits and will hold on to a grudge, given the right reasons.
Special Skills: hacking, spying, information in general
Extra Info: As said before, Sniper has hacking tools mounted on both of his arms. The other arm also hides away a cannon, which the former 'Con rarely gets to use, as his special skills have to do with information gathering and spying. Like Soundwave, Sniper is also able to hack into different communication frequencies and record them to his audio library.
