''Tell me about it
Hey there, my name is Ross, but you can call me whatever the hell comes to mind that doesn’t insult me. I've been on this planet 15 years, but have been RPing for at least 3 years; I lost track ages ago. Along with this character, I tend to make the lives of pretty much nobody else a living hell. Just so you know I found this site by an advertisement.
''Damn I'm good
Character's Full Name: Thunderhead
Biological Name: Thunderhead
Nicknames: The Three-Second Man
Age: 27 Earth years
PB: N/A
Species: Cybertronian
Side in the war: Autobot
''There is more to them then meets the eye
Personality: The archetypal Autobot, Thunderhead has a strong sense of justice and duty, and is very protective of his allies and the humans they must protect. At his core he is a no-nonsense bot and a very pragmatic fighter, but has an entertainingly dry sense of humour. His chosen Earth form, a Sukhoi Su-47 multi-role fighter plane, gives him unrivalled speed and a highly versatile weapon loadout, both of which he enjoys showing off in combat.
Likes:
- His fellow Autobots
- Most humans
- Combat
- Flying at high speeds
- Impressing allies with some ludicrous airborne stunt
Dislikes:
- Decepticons
- Losing a fight to said Decepticons
- Some humans
- Moving slowly
- Uneventful fights
Fears:
- Losing an ally because of his actions
- Being unable to help a friend in danger
- Losing the war
Your Greatest Strength: Thunderhead’s greatest strengths lie in his pragmatic nature and high speed. He fights to win, no matter the opponent, and doesn’t take chances with his attacks. He strikes with unmatched precision, fights with cold efficiency, and shows no mercy to his enemies.
Your Greatest Weakness: Perhaps the greatest drawback to Thunderhead’s lethal weapon loadout is the potential for collateral damage. If he loses his concentration or begins to panic, he tends to get careless with his weapons and that can lead to all kinds of unnecessary damage to the surroundings and, scarily, to his allies.
Weapons: Thunderhead possesses a variety of versatile weapons. For general-purpose use, he relies on a pair of wing-mounted, detachable swords, a triple-barrelled 20mm chain gun and a highly accurate Energon sniper cannon, both of the latter being arm-mounted. For heavier targets and most air-to-ground fire, he bears two back-mounted Energon missile launchers with customisable warheads; high-explosive, Energon fragmentation, incendiary, and “Sky Hydra” multi-warhead.

Family: N/A
History: Thunderhead was among the last Cybertronians to choose a side in the war. Having been saved from a rampaging Decepticon by a team of Autobots, he chose to aid his saviours in any way he could. He quickly found a knack for hit-and-run fighting, taking an airborne form so as to complement his preferred tactics. He was a terror to behold on the battlefield; for the Decepticons, at least. With free reign of the skies most of the time (and if anyone had something to say about that, they could say it to his missiles), Thunderhead rained destruction upon his enemies with near impunity.
But then the battle left Cybertron, and Thunderhead left with it. In his rush to escape, he wound up leaving on his own vector, eventually crash-landing on Mars. His bad landing caused processor damage which in turn caused a long-term stasis. This would eventually be rectified and Thunderhead awoke on the surface of the Red Planet. He spent a few months in isolation, almost driven insane by the lack of company and only calmed by the sight of a distant but thriving blue planet.
That planet, as it happened, would be where the war seemed to have ended. Thunderhead mercifully received Optimus Prime’s transmission drawing all other Autobots to Earth. Immediately the Three-Second Man answered that call, crossing the stars and landing on Earth some distance from a Russian airbase. Before he could be spotted he assumed the nearest disguise, a Sukhoi Su-47 Super Flanker, and made his way to the source of the transmission. Reporting to Optimus, Thunderhead took his place among the Autobots gathered under Prime’s command. He was glad for the peace that seemed to have descended after the defeat of Megatron and his Decepticons.
But, regrettably, nothing lasts forever…
Anything Else? Nope.

”Lana…”
This was the only word that escaped Zenn‘s lips as the two Jedi Knights went with him to the Temple. The girl was all he could think about. The image of her pale, lifeless face haunted him ceaselessly, and would likely do so for the rest of his life unless he could learn to let go of his emotions.
But how was that possible? These Jedi Knights had said it was best to try and forget, but how was Zenn supposed to simply go on as if none of this had happened? He’d watched the only three people who’d ever cared about him die; one of them by his own hand. The tattoo upon his right arm and face would forever mark him as a child of the darkness. He’d never be fully accepted into the Jedi fold, of that he was all but certain.
On the other hand, though, what else could he do? There was nothing here for him. He knew what the Knights suspected; without guidance and direction, he would surely let his emotions rule him and eventually fall completely to the Dark Side. The Jedi Order was his only refuge, his only hope.
What else was there? Zenn now knew the answer to that question. He may never become a true Jedi, having been brought up surrounded by the Dark Side, but he would do his best to let his inner light shine through.
In honour of Lana’s memory, he would do his best.
