#plot character

((And the counterpart! This is the dragon you guys have seen winging around. Please note both profiles will be easily retrievable via the Plot link on my profile.))

Tag: #the Last speaks

Race: Demigod, Not-Entirely-Cybertronian

Age: ???? Very old, but it was born in a primal era. Its understanding of many modern concepts is limited despite its advanced years. It has only recently reawakened.

Pronouns: It/its, they/theirs

Root Mode: Dragon

Alt Mode: N/A - Unable to transform

Appearance: At first glance, the Last Autobot is an intimidating sight. It measures nearly 60 feet from head to tail, and towers over most modern Cybertronians. There are many scars from its battle with Unicron, though; the one that features most prominently is its misshapen jaw. Broken by a swipe from Unicron, it never healed properly.  It left the dragon with a significant overbite and weak grip.

There are other obvious design flaws. Over the Ages it has become increasingly bow-legged, one of many signs of Primus’s inexperience with creation at the time of its birth. It somewhat makes up for these limitations with its impressive wingspan and grace in the air.

Personality: Last is, above all else, tired. In its Age it fought with great fervor in order to push back Unicron, and was the first to successfully strike a blow against Unicron. It mourns the loss of the twelve brothers and sisters who tried before it and failed. It feels like a creature alone in the universe, having none left alive from its Age other than Primus himself.

Its relationship with Primus is a complex one. It finds itself drawn to Primus as he is all that is left of the Age it remembers. At the same time, it is angered by the fact that Primus moved on to make other worlds and had less time for the familial intimacy they shared in the beginning. There are few who can say they had the chance to truly live side-by-side with Primus in every waking moment, but Last is one of them. That makes the abandonment sting all the more.

Primus has kept it around as something of a memento of the past, another fact that stings Last. As long as it was left to quiet and rest, it could abide the situation. Now that it has been reawakened, though, the anger is boiling over. It has even gone so far as to directly disobey the Father’s directive.

History: The Last Autobot is one of the first of Primus’s creations, a member of the first Thirteen. It was born in an era of Darkness, having only Primus and its other siblings to help it learn. The earliest years were spent in struggle, learning from the yelps of pain and plaintive cries of its siblings. It learned to see beyond itself, and at the same time Primus created the first brushstrokes: a primitive planet, the start of language, etc.

Not only did Primus bring his children to understanding, but they helped him learn. Before his children he did not fully understand the nature of Life, only yearning for any noise to fill the silence.

After the death of one of its siblings sparked a war with Unicron, though, the Thirteen had to focus their efforts on holding back the Father’s counterpart. Wanting to protect its family, Last threw its whole spark into the battle. It watched as one after another of its siblings went to the front and did not return. When it finally came to its turn, it went to faces it duty with a grim understanding of how harsh life could be.

It survived, but barely. Primus recovered what was left of it and stored it in a suspended state. As the Ages passed, he never expected to go back to it other than when he wished to remember. However, when the creator god sensed the First of his children stirring he knew he would need a unique weapon.

What better than the one of her own siblings? Last has knowledge of her that no modern Cybertronian could hope for. But before the battle arrives, Primus knows he must tackle the issue of Last’s anger and abandonment. He must shatter its ties to its siblings and give it something new to love, something new to fight for.

CADAVER DOG: PJ3 – Now Taking Chapter 3, Now Taking Chapter 3!

8/21/14 I realized the actions of a Supporting Character, who has since been promoted to a Plot Character, actually sets my Antagonist in motion. So, Pretty much, I had to lay down their plot points first, then my Antagonist, then my 2nd Plot Character, then my Protagonist actually. All other sub plot points all around what those four characters do.

Once again, my writing process has done it’s…

Four of Seven | Borg | N/A | Ben Whishaw | TAKEN

➹ Calm, Precise, Relentless

➷ Unfeeling, Ruthless, Inhuman

Four of Seven is part of the Borg drones army, a fearsome race. His troops’ main operative is to assimilate more members into the army, and has been stationed in the Kabdak galaxy. 

Frances Byrne | 49 [Human] | Physician & Counselor | Gillian Anderson | TAKEN

➹ Intelligent, Compassionate, Pragmatic 

➷ Brusque, Skeptical, Vengeful 

Up until her freshman year in high school, Frances felt as if no one could be her intellectual equal. She was the only daughter of two well-to-do Des Moines women: one a doctor who worked late shifts, leaving them not as close as the other, a lawyer. Most of her friends seemed to not share the same interests, and she suspected they only wanted to spend time with her because her family was rich. 

She met Alan Monday in her AP English class at C. Sagan High, their densely populated public school; he was a senior, she was a freshman, and they were both far too smart for the class. Despite the age gap, they began a relationship; he preyed on her for her loneliness, and was often possessive and tried desperately to cover his insecurities. 

They continued a long-distance relationship after he graduated and went on to the Academy. He visited home once, and their relationship seemed to grow more unbalanced, especially as Frances began to bloom socially. 

Some weeks after his visit over spring break, she began to learn more about Alan's behavior at the Academy. According to his closer friends who had followed him and befriended her, he had blackmailed and bullied his way through the year, and made advances on female cadets just for the sake of making them uncomfortable.

It was all unsurprising, but sobering. Frances knew she deserved better, and left him with an appropriate amount of vitriol. They were together for a year and a half. By the time she arrived at the Academy, he was long gone. 

As soon as she got her M.D. as both a general practitioner and psychologist, she rose quickly as a Starfleet officer for her versatility and work ethic. She was working as Head Counselor aboard the USS Parthenope before the ship became trapped in the asteroid belt.

Alan Monday | 53 [Human] | Admiral | Kevin Spacey | TAKEN

➹ Ambitious, Clever, Charismatic

➷ Controlling, Bitter, Power-Hungry

Alan Monday was born in a small town a couple miles away from Des Moines to a family that valued muscles over smarts. He was a scared, scrawny child who spent most of his days getting tossed into hay bales and slammed into lockers. After high school, his parents finally sent him to the Academy despite his fear of deep space, and that is where his bitterness towards his community and his keen intellect helped him blossom—once he put his mind solely towards climbing Starfleet’s political chain of command, he began to find ways not only to camouflage his sniveling ways, but to turn them into plots and plans that helped him claw his way to the esteemed position of admiral.

Of course, it’s no secret amongst his fellow higher-ups that some of the worst things that have happened to Starfleet officers in the past ten or fifteen years have happened because of his actions. Whether or not he’s directly responsible for anything particularly bad, no one can say, but there have definitely been some egregious consequences to his behavior. Now, the USS Calypso is one of the many ships under his watch. He thinks little of its crew members—yes, including the captain—and is definitely not afraid to shake things up a little if he sees anything not exactly…shipshape.
