Description Sweet Jesus in a Minicoop, it's about time I posted a character sheet for Skids. Huh? Whut's that? He's not alone and there's another character? Well darn, guess I better post a short bio for the little guy, too. ((And yes, Skidlock has gone through quite a few changes...))


Designation: Skidlock
Gender: M
Alliance: Former Autobot
Alt Mode: Bugatti Veyron
Weapons and Skills: Naturally charming and charismatic to boot, Skidlock is a bot born with a silver tongue. Carefree at first glance, underneath it hides a calculating spark.
Skidlock is well versed as both a gunman and swords, making him formidable at close and long range.
His wings actually allow him to glide at short distances, but never fly.
Bio: Skidlock graduated fromt he Academy with exceptionally high marks and with his friend, TerraSpect --his brother Axis having dropped out.
He became an Autobot commander, charged with sweeping through Cybertron and nearby quadrants to find and offline uprising Decepticon resistance during the war.
When Terra went missing and Axis threw himself into his insanity and began mass bombings, Skidlock volunteered to track down his own brother and kill him. In the end, however, he was unable to do so, and left Axis to die. He believes his only brother is now deactivated.
After killing Axis, Skidlock began to question the war and its purpose, unhappy with what it had made him, but still accepting who he was, he became a neutral bounty hunter.
Because of his past connections, Skidlock found himself off rather well with a ship of his own, a pocket lined with credits, and a well-known reputation for himself, but he found himself lonely and longed for a partner.
It was on Tortuga A7, while searching for his newest employer, that he found a drone waiting to be sold for spare parts--Crosswire. He carefully rebuilt Crosswire, programing him above and beyond the boundaries of a regular drone.
While he is quite adept at running circles around his own bounties, Skidlock prefers diving headfirst into situations, enjoying the thrill of leaving his own life to chance.


Designation: Crosswire
Gender: M
Alliance: Former Decepticon
Alt Mode: Kawasaki ZZR 1200
Weapons and Skills: Despite his designation as once being a soldier, he is a skilled hacker and a precise sniper, as he relies heavily on his calculations. However, throw in an unknown variable and unexpected surprise and it will temporarily throw him off until he comes up with a new plan of action.
Bio: Rebuilt and reconfigured by Skidlock, Crosswire was once a Decepticon foot drone until an explosion nearly offlined him and destroyed a majority of his programming. He was sold into the black market to become spare parts, but it was Skidlock who rescued him and rebuilt him.
As drones were built to be unquestioning servants with no will of their own, he is confused as to why Skidlock would go so far as to give him his own personality and free will. However, he is grateful to Skidlock nonetheless.
Where Skidlock enjoys working on the edge, Crosswire prefers setting up traps and lying in wait. It is sometimes Skidlock's spontaneous-ness that irritates Crosswire, but Crosswire has learned to calculate even Skidlock's curve-balls after 2 millenia (though the former somehow manages to catch him off guard from time-to-time anyway).



Ugh, so... much... typing. I probably missed a few things, but I'm just finally happy to have my characters on paper. Crosswire looks so grumpy and he's so adorable!

I have a feeling I'm going to eat Crossfire up. Not to mention he's the best color in the world!

It's nice to finally have an image of Axis' bro, though. Those two seem as different as night and day. o_O

Neurquadic In reply to Aaron-Smiley [2009-02-18 15:02:02 +0000 UTC]

Psh, watch out, he's grumpy! xDDD

Eh... I dunno. Personally, I think of Skidlock as the dotted on older brother who succeeded at everything whereas Axis got the short end of the stick because their Creators knew about his terminal glitch.

I guess Skidlock is the sensible and smooth bot compared to Axis and his impulsive ideas.

Oh sibling rivalry, what would we do without it?

They're differences totally make sense. I can't help trying to imagine Axis' horrible chilhood. Out of curiosity, since you created Skidlock first, how do you view him? I get the feeling you don't see him as a villian/enemy the way Axis does. In your mind is he just another fun character with his own story that happens to be hated by another fun character?

Neurquadic In reply to Aaron-Smiley [2009-02-19 05:02:11 +0000 UTC]

Eh, well, for Axis, he kinda realized--even as a child and with his glitch--that he was bound to die and be a disappointment in comparison to his brother. He just kinda stopped trying to impress people after that. You could say he was the troubled child who wanted attention, but deep down, he just figured: If he was going to die and no body cared anyway, he'd do what he wanted.

I view Skidlock as the kind of... debonair agent. He's smooth and witty and didn't even have an inkling that he might have a brother later... xD (Most of my characters kinda add themselves, usually.) He's kinda like Jazz, in a sense, but a lot less loyal and not obsessed with music.

Like Axis, Skid's still looking out for number one, but UNLIKE Axis, he's got friends in some places and has the capacity to care for others instead of JUST for himself. For some, he'd make sacrifices for. Axis has Terra and connections, but nobody he himself considers friends. Axis would do anything for Terra and ONLY Terra--as she's a type of anchor for him.

And yet, though Axis is obviously not the 'hero' type... I think I prefer him to Skidz. Axis has just been endeared to my heart... maybe I just don't know Skidlock well enough yet. *shrug*

Neurquadic In reply to Aaron-Smiley [2009-02-19 15:10:46 +0000 UTC]

Oh, obviously, not. I guess, deeeeep down, he has the potential to be a 'tragic (insane) hero', but lacks the capacity. He's one of the heroes who has nothing and pretty much has no one but himself to blame for his unhappiness in the end. Yes, there are events that lead up to his problems, but it's his inability to change for the better that leaves him in the dust.

And I don't blame you.. I actually like him more than Skids, too... >__> He's become my favorite child. xDDD

They look great. ^^ I really like the colors you chose for them. Crosswire is so adorable. I just want to steal him away and keep him forevers. lol. But then Skidlock would get lonely and I couldn't do that to him. Awesome job.

Neurquadic In reply to I-Luv-Bumblebee [2008-09-27 18:54:19 +0000 UTC]

lol, Skids is very overprotective of Crosswire, despite their rather aloof/teasing attitudes toward one another.

I can't promise you safety if you took Crosswire and I can't tell who would harm you first, either..... little hacker/ninja bot or the big flirtatious one.

It sounds almost like a brotherly relationship between them. It's very sweet. ^^Well no worries...I don't plan on stealing him...yet. Or not until I have a secure and foul-proof plan. *goes to seek Prowl*
