Can I ask about Cesium and Quasar's personalities/backstory? Especially Quasar cause their only mention on this blog is that they're Cesium's boyfriend, no refs or lore 😔
That's the funny thing because conceptually speaking I came up with Quasar and Cesium entirely separately in the initial project and I drew Quasar's 1.0 first (though it's really outdated and I got stuck on the redesign😅)
Quasar (he/him) is a primarily purple seeker with yellow and silver highlights, blue optics with red irises
I could've sworn I posted the intro/explanation but I guess it got lost in my drafts?
Backstory stuff: Quasar met Cesium on a niche scientific forum on Cybertron's Net shortly after Quasar graduated from the local academy, out of a mutual sense of being outcasts and having trouble finding an audience for their especially wild theories & areas of focus. Cesium, who was in between finding jobs related to his field, was very willing to share his home lab with Quasar.
...and then the war happened, and they were part of the wave of neutrals in the au to leave Cybertron for one of the colony worlds, where they continued their work.
If the chips of the universe had landed slightly to the left, they would've became decepticons. In another timeline, perhaps.
You know those YouTubers who are very loud and boisterous, and always seem to be building a new affront to nature to show off? Quasar is a lot like that. He's a tinkerer who thinks "can I🤔" before "should I?" and it shows. Quasar is trouble with wings and several bad ideas.
Despite being the more mellow/mild of the pair, Cesium is also full of several bad ideas he's willing to spend months, even years planning out. He has a knack for having shady connections that are just as likely to go wrong as much as they're likely to pay off.
They're an extrovert/introvert ship, two sides of the same mad scientist trope coin. Lab partners first, everything else second (though I thought it'd be fun to leave that "everything else second" suggestively vague), they've been close for kilovorns and relatively isolated from the war.
(until the war finds them, one way or another :3)
