Flutteringbat and Pantherwind

Mentor and Ranger of Field Colony

Bat- Wide eyed angel. Adventurous and slightly airheaded. Willing to throw themselves into something without overthinking it. Encourages young cats to also be adventurous.

Teachers who don’t take frustration and opposition personally and instead recognize it as a students natural struggle with learning new things.

Teachers who see their skills as a gift and privilege, who recognize they had to work hard for mastery too and any student under their wing has obstacles ahead of them but also have one big advantage this time.

Someone who gets it.

Two friends waking up as cogless versions of Termagax and Terminus in the Transformers One universe, after dying being shot. They both lay low working as miners before meeting D-16. Then decide to become mentors/parental figures in order to change his fate. Because there has to be at least one timeline where D-16 doesnt go rogue with rage, right?

Bonus points if the duo were criminals in another life and taught D-16 how to pick locks, smuggle objects from other bots, or being persuasive while lying/covering tracks. Extra points if they both make D-16 doubt about Sentinel’s reign while being subtle about it. Also give D-16, IDW Megatron’s passion for writing.

This is primarily asking about situations where it would be generally considered inappropriate to have a romantic or sexual relationship with the teacher/mentor/etc– situations where there is a significant imbalance in either power or experience. Do not include things like having a crush on your casual pilates instructor who's around your age.

(Ohohohohoho it matters)

I'm really glad you like the parent choice because it's one of the first choices, and I feel like it's also one of the bigger ones. It really shapes the interior of the MC, and I feel like there are truly, at the core of the story, three MCs. The scholar, the warrior, and the performer.

Squirrelflight!!! Who cheered!!
