#paradrox

Name: Rupture and Paradrox Height: 5.25m (as adults) Faction: Destrons/Predacons Alt mode: Two-headed ‘cyborg’ dragon.

Weaponry: None yet

History: The arrival of Hibiscus was no surprise to anyone although it took a little time for Nemetron and Lio Junior to adapt to being big brothers, it made the addition of twins shortly after a bit smoother. Galvatron was positively glowing the entire time while carrying, a scan showing twins only made him more abuzz with glee. A little dazed after their emergence, Cyclonus was allowed to name them both resulting in their ‘tougher’ names. Rupture The older of the two, Rupture is quiet and curious and much more likely to poke ‘icky’ and gooey things. Quiet, introverted they also have a slightly short temper and when young would bite when their patience ran out, Uncle Megastorm was usually the victim to this, thankfully they grew out of it. Being as quiet as they are they often enjoy hanging around with BB a lot. They show great fondness for Annelids, specifically ones with an appetite for blood. Paradrox The far more energetic of the two and often seen running about with their older brothers or pestering some of the other Predacons (albeit banned from Starscreams personal space after knocking over some of his favourite chassis wax, oops). Predacons also find the need to hide valuables away from them as they can’t resist pulling things apart and tinkering with them.

Notes/Extra:

Rupture is on the Autistic spectrum and part of their love for poking sticky ‘icky’ things is actually part of their preferred stimming method.

Starscream calls them both “Fluffbutt” or any variant of it, it caught on.

Paradrox claims they have a “twinstinct”.

Their tail-head does not have it’s own personality and is not sentient.

Name: Rupture - Paradrox Titles: Heir of Chaar (Later, New Kaon) Nicknames: Rups, Ruppy/Ruppi, Rup-rup. - Drox, Droxy, Pancake - by Galvatron. Gender: Unspecified, they/them. Alt. Mode: Flying jet-like creature. Creators: Galvatron, Cyclonus. Siblings: Many. Voice: Mandy - The Grim adventures of Billy & Mandy (they sound a little less feminine however so even their voice is hard to pin as male or female.)

Personality: Rupture easily comes off as quite cold and aloof to those they’ve just met, being distant and almost condescending in attitude.

It takes a bit of patience and exposure to realise that it’s not exactly ‘like that’.

Rupture simply takes their duty seriously and tries to set an example, but their inability to mesh with social situations as well as anyone else hinders this, prompting some awkward thoughts and concerns about future leadership and they often defer to their twin for help yet they’re perfectly fine to lay out reprimands or concerns on others if they feel they need it. It doesn’t help with the first point.

Despite all this, and probably thanks to their twin, Rupture is quite tolerant and slow to anger, they are perfectly content to spend days at a time simply ‘being’ and of course experimenting and playing with their pride and joy - Their leeches.

Paradrox is a wild card, yet bizarrely responsible.

Mischievous and impulsive ‘droxy can’t help but fidget and move about, their attention seemingly doing the same as they tend to miss out on a few words or forget things such as dates, or annoy people by asking them to repeat things only to cut them off at the second word as they ‘get it now’.

Their energy is only matched by their outgoing, social attitude and absolute inability to leave things alone. They just can’t help themselves from tinkering with devices and items and often need something to fiddle with if you don’t want to find your pens dismantled and paper torn or folded into origami.

Their favourite things to ‘tinker’ with are doomsday devices and teleportation software.

History: Rupture and their twin hatched from an egg spontaneously generated by Galvatron. Orally. Yes, initially the Decepticons believed, or thought, an egg that was coughed up would be nonviable but it shifted and moved. A name was already picked out as Galvatron joked the egg ‘ruptured’ his throat on the way out due to how painful the sudden motion was.

When it did hatch it initially sent quite a ripple of fuss throughout the base as no one expected the egg to hatch, nor were they expecting the odd grub-like creatures that came out of it.

Let alone two.

Their parents, however, were ecstatic, kinda terrified, but ecstatic. It was new, it was something and absolutely a thing neither of them believed they could do.

They adored their 'perfect little creations' and took care to document their development and make as many mental notes as possible. Not only to make sure they're doing it right but for species documentation, no creature like them had been born before. And for possible future reference.

Despite the twins gaining no defining physical feature that separates one from the other, not even scars, their personalities began to differentiate them more than enough.

Being the slightly-older-by-a-minute-or-two sibling Rupture was chosen to be more of a successor to Galvatron's commanding role. It worked out anyway as Rupture was the one who managed to hold enough focus to keep an idea as their priority. Although Galvatron voiced concerns for trying to narrow their life into a role they wanted. Cyclonus agreed and they planned to only nudge them towards the role and cease if they did not wish for it.

These plans', however, were cut short as the rogue DeceptiLord appeared. A figure Rupture and Paradrox were too young to understand the importance of at the time or the problems he had caused. They also were not present during some very loud fuss that occurred, as they grew up they learnt that DeceptiLord had challenged and defeated Galvatron in a battle for Decepticon supremacy and had taken over.

As part of the new rule, the twins and every other child at the time were moved on over to a not-often-used base on the other side of Chaar, it was here they lived being cared for solely by Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge and the remaining number of Sweeps.

The base had more than enough supplies for them however and was well-equipped to keep them well-trained and well-taught as they and the others grew. At some point early on in their 'new home'  Rupture had found one of the many Energon Leeches that live on Chaar and despite initial protests kept the creature as their pet and Paradrox managed to build a device that managed to coat the room in blueberry jam.

It was also at this young and still-not-fully-ware stage that they noticed some new adults had shown up, they talked and talked with Galvatron, it seemed endless and he only seemed sad when he returned from the talks. The other adults left but eventually, others came, the response was the same but it seemed whatever they were after they got.

What clued them in on this was when new children appeared.

It didn’t seem bad, new friends new kids to play with, there was more going on and more to do, it was a bit overwhelming at first and Rupture at first had some difficulty adjusting while Paradrox did not. This had gone on for years. It helped, in the long run, as a lot of the Decepticon parents seem to have a weird idea that their kids are just at a camp. It helped take their minds off it. However, as Rupture and many of the others became sub/young-adults they were thrown into a whole new adventure with the fate of many in their hands.

Notes/Extra:

They both made bat-like chirps when they were ‘grubs’. This drove Ratbat nuts as he tried searching for the source.

Both would cling onto things as babies which meant they could be carried around hands-free.

They have never required a frame change as they grew up, their organic parts negating a need.

They have the same garbage guts as their parents.

Rupture is Autistic.

They often forget to wash leech slime from themselves and can be sticky to the touch.

Speaking of leeches, their primary leech is their (rather spoiled) pet one named Nipper. Rupture often ‘stims’ with Nipper, stroking the leech calms them down and helps them think.

Rupture can barely deny their younger siblings anything, and often finds some comfort in the presence of protoforms/sparklings too.

Hates the smell of wet grass.

Enjoys long scenic flights and hot drinks.

Paradrox helps them when they feel close to a breakdown or if ‘droxy catches Rups missing a ‘social cue’ by giving them a nudge or two.

Paradrox likes to occasionally do something ‘weird’ just to gauge people’s reaction.

The fascination with teleportation technology is a reference to Skywarp.

When they were very young Paradrox misheard the word “Autistic” and thought Rupture had an extra component called an “OT stick”, while they now know and can pronounce it properly they still occasionally refer to it as such in order to make Rupture smile.

Paradrox calls their ‘connection’ to Rupture their “Twinstinct”

One of their ‘Doomsday devices’ exploded and coated the room in Blueberry jam.

Rupture often helps ‘reel them in’ if they’re getting too excitable or overbearing.

Likes Watermelon topped with raw salmon, mustard, hot sauce, mint sauce and blue cheese with a dash of salt. Yes. All in one. It’s gross.

Info: Sometimes this duo gets referred to as the “Parature twins” despite Paradrox being the younger of the two. Absolutely identical down to the tone of their vocal unit they take pride in being confusing! Or at least Paradrox does. If it’s not already obvious, they’re the wild card of the duo, Paradrox is the tinkerer who can barely leave anything mechanical alone and has to play around with everything. They’re the more social of the two and have a processor that tends to race at a mile a minute making them easily distractable and quite spontaneous. Rupture is the more calm and calculated one of the two, often coming off as unintentionally aloof and cold, not helped by a dash of stubborn-ness. They much prefer the company of their Energon Leeches to that of other mecha as they feel they ‘understand’ them more. They are somewhat aware of this ‘social lacking’ and feel somewhat distressed by it and their inability to ‘fix’ it but thankfully Droxy is there to help them out and in turn Rups keeps Droxy ‘in the moment’.

Extra:

They both go by “They/Them” pronouns.

Rupture is Autistic. When younger Paradrox couldn’t quite pronounce the word and called it a “OT stick” and thought it was just a special extra part built into them that made them “extra cool” now older Droxy does understand Autism more but still calls it the “OT stick” as a bit of a inside joke with Rupture.

Rupture has a pet Energon Leech named Nipper whom they adore dearly. This also leads Rupture to have a bad habit of forgetting to wipe leech slime off themselves.

Rupture has experimented on Nipper a fair bit which is why they are an abnormal size and have a extended life span.

Paradrox once built a bomb that when detonated, filled the entire base with blueberry jam. No one wants to know how.

Rupture eventually engages in a relationship with Scope.

They will get a little bit taller later on in life being the exact same height as their creators.

Info: Identical twins Rupture and Paradrox are a weird pair of whirly-pew-pews. Rupture is stoic and creepy interested in experiments and things they probably shouldn’t be interested in, a little concerning but they’re not too stubborn as to refuse help or shun people who tell them to stop. Paradrox makes papa proud. They have the fucking cackles. Excitable, hard to contain, spontaneous with no direction and loves going wild in the aisles. They once stuffed confetti into their tank’s cannon and tackled Optimus to “toot” him. Paradrox actually has a Minicon partner whom they named “Mooncake”. The two work together well however and balance each other out, Droxy helps Rupture keep up with social interactions and Rupture keeps Droxy settled and helps for when they forget things like what heckin’ day it is.

Extra:

Both go by They/Them.

Rupture is Autistic.

Rupture doesn’t have a Minicon partner.

Demolishor is their Uncle. They love him.

“Uncle Demo” let Paradrox name one of his Minicons... Demolishor welcomed “Tootin’ McScootin’” to his team that day...

Nipper may or may not be a Minicon and Rupture’s partner but maybe not.

People were horrified to learn Paradrox inherited Cyclonus’s giggles. Honestly.
