''Tell me about it"
Hey there, my name is Jetta Windstar, but you can call me Kit, Kitt-chan, Ki, Kiki, or whatever else. I've been on this planet 20 years, but have been RPing for about 6 years. Along with this character, I tend to make the lives of KITT, KARR, Goliath, Ironhide, Mudflap, Ravage, Melissa Drake, Lt.Colonel Cira Knight and Sam Witwicky a living hell. Just so you know I found this site by Corina (Arcee).
''Damn I'm good"
Character's Full Name: Ratchet
Biological Name: n/a
Nicknames: Medic, mr. fix-it?
Age: old, but not as old as Optimus, but older than Ironhide
PB: (Not needed for Transformers)
Species: Autobot
Side in the war: Good
''There is more to them then meets the eye"
Personality: Ratchet is the Autobots' Chief Medical Officer. If something's broke, he can fix it. Ratchet is known for his irreverent bedside manner; he loves having a good time, and his party-loving nature has given him a dry wit. He is not a particularly mighty warrior, which sometimes leads him to believe that he is expendable. Optimus Prime has trouble convincing Ratchet that this is far from the truth.
Likes: The Autobots, not seeing bots in his Repair bay, spending time with his old friends, throwing wrenches, fixing stuff
Dislikes: Decepticons, seeing lots of bots in his Repair bay, getting stressed, not being able to see his daughter, his demanding work schedule
Fears: losing his daughter, her getting frustrated with him for never being around, that he's a bad parent
Your Greatest Strength: Ratchet is actually great with communication. He's always there to help and is always vigilant. He's dedicated and focused and almost always seems to know what he's doing, even if he finds himself uncertain about something. You can always count on Ratchet to get the job done, and done at its finest.
Your Greatest Weakness: Ratchet gets stressed too easily. He's seriuos and a major work a holic. Sometimes he forgets how to relax and tenses up when it's not needed. This bad habit can be taxing on him and it often leads him to being a bit grumpy. On real stressful days he becomes very temperamental and figdety. His stress can be draining and this will obviously cause him to be more prone to making mistakes or at the very least forgetting important items on his to-do list.
''Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing"
Family: Danielle Erickson (she's human obviously, he was one of the chosen Autobots)
History:
Hearing Bumblebee's call for assistance, Ratchet and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with Ratchet crashing into a storefront. As emergency crews and bystanders observed the wreckage, Ratchet assumed the vehicle mode of a nearby Hummer H2 rescue vehicle and drove away.
Ratchet linked up with Ironhide and Jazz, then made their way to a deserted alley to meet up with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and their new human friends. After being introduced as the unit's medical officer, Ratchet remarked that his sensors indicated that Sam's pheromone levels suggested he wanted to mate with Mikaela. (Neither Sam nor Mikaela appreciated this comment.) He also explained how Bumblebee's voicebox was damaged and that he had been having trouble fixing it for some time.
Following Sam to his house, Ratchet and their other Autobots unwittingly caused much destruction to the Witwicky yard and stress to Sam when they attempted to help the boy look for his grandfather's glasses. After Sam told them to hide, Ratchet accidentally walked into some power lines, which shocked him enough to make him fall onto a greenhouse. Ratchet found the experience tingly and suggested to Ironhide that he try it, and Ironhide sarcastically mused that it looked fun, but unfortunately, it had caused a neighborhood-wide blackout, making the search for the glasses much more difficult. Ratchet attempted to help by activating his powerful floodlights, which only succeeded in making the parents investigate Sam's room. When Ironhide remarked that Sam's parents were annoying and requested Prime's permission to "take them out", the normally peaceful Ratchet nodded vigorously and pointed Ironhide's left cannon at the house. Maybe that power surge did more damage than suspected.
Soon, Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by the mysterious Sector Seven. Ratchet and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Their dramatic escape was to be short-lived, and Bumblebee was captured while saving his human friends' lives. The next morning, the remaining Autobots gathered to discuss their options. Whether through intuition or some technological means, Ratchet announced that the Decepticons were preparing to make their move. Optimus Prime declared that if they could not defeat the Decepticons, he would fuse the All Spark with his own spark, hopefully destroying it. Ratchet cautioned him against this action, as the raw power of the artifact would likely kill him. Prime replied that it was his own choice, and to save the humans from destruction and the mistakes of the Transformers, it was a sacrifice that he was willing to make. Inspired by his words, the Autobots headed to Hoover Dam, before encountering Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven vehicles headed in the opposite direction.
As the large group arrived in Mission City, it was attacked by Starscream, with the explosion crippling Bumblebee. At the same time, Devastator attacked the surviving human soldiers, prompting Ratchet and Jazz to engage the large Decepticon. As Jazz destroyed one of Brawl's rocket pods, Ratchet used his buzzsaw to slice off the tank's left arm.
Captain Lennox ordered Sam to take the All Spark to the rooftop of a nearby, run-down building so he could pass the cube to a military helicopter that would soon arrive. Ratchet and Ironhide volunteered themselves to protect Sam as he made his escape. Unfortunately, the villainous Starscream swooped down to block Sam's path, forcing the Autobots to engage him in a rather one-sided battle that left them both damaged. Ratchet and Ironhide collapsed, and Sam had to continue on his own.
After the defeat of Megatron and the destruction of the All Spark, Ratchet somberly informed Optimus Prime that he could not save the fallen Jazz. Later, as Optimus declared that Earth was their new home and that his team would be waiting for any surviving Autobots to gather there, Ratchet spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode.Now Ratchet is busier than ever, hopping between NJ and the NEST base in India to help the Autobots where he can in the medical department. He is one of the few on Earth. Being a medic is a full time job so he's often stressed out, debarting with little notice for the others save for Optimus for weeks at a time. Unfortunately, his daughter Danielle often has a hard time tracking him. On top of that, she hasn't seen him since she was little. If she did, it was for very brief moments. Little does Ratchet know, this means she fears he abandoned her for whatever reason, perhaps being that she was simply not an Autobot. However, Ratchet has just been busy, and doesnt contact her because wherever he goes (especially when he goes to the Middle East, he doesn't want to see her get hurt.
Anything Else?: I swear this is my last character
. LOL''The Fallen Shall Rise Again"
Did you read the rules?: transform and roll out
Custom Title: Mr.Fix It
RP Sample:
The two drones that were being fired at swerved away. One got hit, but the other kept going, spinning around to face Jazz from the front and fired an Energon blast at his hood.
On Optimus's end, the two other drones got destroyed almost immediately, though one struggled to keep operating. Meanwhile, the drone that had Chris acquired a burst of speed and made a wide arc way around Jazz and behind Optimus in a dark blurr, turning again to move towards the trailer as a new drone peeled out and fired rapidly at Optimus's head.
In the next blink of an eye, Chris was gone. Goliath's holographic form was sitting in the passenger seat of the cab, inspecting the shard with a theatrical expression of boredom on his face.
Once inside the trailer, the drone somehow managed to squeeze around 4 other motorcycle drones towards the back. It transformed and tossed Chris off it's back into a corner and began to spill ropes of nanomachiens from its arms. The very corners of the two walls against Chris temporarily liquified as they manipulated their own ropes of nanomachines. The ropes coiled around his upper body and arms tightly, pressing him closer as the drone simultaneously used its nanomachines to bind Chris's legs into the ground.
