Are you over 18: Yes, woefully so.
Characters in The Box Already: None
Character Information
Character Name: Drift
Canon: Transformers: IDW
Canon Point: Post-banishment
Is your character Dead, Undead or Alive: Alive
History: Here at a very extensive wiki page.
Personality: At the very immediate first impression, Drift seems like a really nice guy. He's so bubbly cheerful that it's almost downright offensive to everyone else around him, seeing no boundaries before him as he brings up his overly religious and New Age theories into the fold. Feeling stressed out? Oh man, it must be your aura! You really need to get around to getting that cleansed! Maybe if we do some robot-styled feng shui, we can get that fixed for you! Others have remarked upon his demeanor as being a "happy hippy" guy, and frankly that's a great description... of his surface personality. All of the obnoxious optimism that Drift portrays? You can bet it's all an act. Drift has the perpetual need to play this out and go over the top in attempting to impress people around him, particularly Rodimus and Ratchet. He's not very well loved in the Autobot ranks, so he tries to make what friendship he can get stick. This isn't to say that Drift is completely unkind, but it's horribly exaggerated most of the time.
Beneath the facade Drift is very clearly insecure with who he is. Often times, Drift finds himself emulating people he's admired in the past instead of trusting his own instincts. Bottom line with this factor is that Drift, throughout his entire life, has had a hard time trying to find his place in the universe. At the moment, he seems to have taken to imitating people he's looked up to with varying degrees of instant karma and disappointment. The biggest complication that Drift seems to have with himself is that he can't seem to trust himself to make his own decisions. This likely links back to the fact that so many of his closer friends have died right in front of him, and his past regrets about joining the Decepticons in the first place.
Despite his flaws, Drift is incredibly loyal to those who even give the slightest implication of being his friend or, at the very least, are part of his crew. He will go out of his way for someone who gives him the time of day, and he will do everything in his power to protect them. This could almost be to the point of being nearly overly protective, though. Some people are a tad "trigger happy" and Drift can definitely become a slight bit "slash happy" in regards to keeping people well protected. This is in conjunction to the fact that there's a language that Drift is fluent in due to his history: he knows violence, and he knows it well. At times, it is almost the only thing he can express fluidly, which is why he enjoys a good battle and teaching others how to defend themselves.
Abilities/Strengths and Weaknesses: Well he is a large transforming robot wannabe samurai. He tends to be easily moved to anger given the right encouragement, and is kind of gullible when it comes to "spiritual" things. Drift is also a huge tryhard and tends to be the first to want to sacrifice himself to any semi-to-dubiously worthy cause.
Samples
Network/Action Spam Sample:
[ The audio crackles on to someone who is obviously trying very hard to sound like he commands respect. ]
Okay. I really need to know why I'm back on Earth. I'm not supposed to be here. In fact? I'm pretty sure it's very illegal.
Far be it from me to come here uninvited, so I'd really like to leave before I get arrested or something. I would also like an explanation as to how the rusting hell I got here?
Where is my ship?
Is anyone there? This is an open channel. Hello? Where is everyone even? Last I remember you couldn't take a step without bumping into a human.
Listen, I'm going to get kind of really annoyed here if I don't start getting answers.
[ The strained, suppressed panic is clearly evident. ]
More over, and most importantly, whoever took my swords is going to want to bring those back right now.
Prose Log Sample: Bam!
