makingtracksCharacter name: Tracks
Canon: Transformers G1
Canon point: Any (G1 is a mess anyway)
Pronouns: He/Him, They/Them (he's not super fussy)
Character details: Called a 'lousy earth lover' by some of the Autobots, Tracks has taken to Earth and taken to it well; he often prefers being in his sleek corvette stingray alt mode and cruising the streets of Earth's cities than to hanging around the Ark. He's vain, and it shows: he keeps his chassis spotless and shiny, his paint unfaded, and friends joke that the snooty-sounding Tracks would rather stare at his reflection than do his job as a warrior. It's no secret that he prefers his current form a lot more than his Cybertronian one; functionism wasn't kind to a mech whose alternate mode straddles both flier and ground-frames, and here on Earth is an easy escape from it.
But past the voice and the vanity is a mech that truly, genuinely loves Earth and all the humans do, particularly enjoying the 'less reputable' scenes of hip-hop and rock and roll, and even making friends with a small time criminal from New York called Raoul. Because Tracks is, at his core, a genuinely good, friendly person. And even all the prejudice he faced pre-war couldn't take it from him.
Warnings: While G1 is a light-hearted mess, it does deal with war and this account takes a more serious approach to it. Therefore it will sometimes deal with it and related topics. There's also talk of functionism here - robot racism based on your alt mode - and all that entails.
[OOC]
Backtagging: Hell yeah. Might wanna discuss if you wanna do a long thread beforehand, though.
Threadhopping: Preferably discussed beforehand, but willing with people I know.
Fourthwalling: Nope
Off limits: Eye trauma
Warn first: I have no major triggers other than the above but avoid too much gratuitous gore and similar please. cws for troubling topics are appreciated!
[IC]
Physical affection: Tracks might be a nice guy, but... No, not unless he knows your character well. He's had too many people touch him - particularly his wings - without his consent out of 'curiosity'.
Physical violence: PLEASE discuss 'death' and major injuries with me first. Otherwise, minor injuries are fair game.
Romance: Tracks might come across as flirty sometimes, but a strong friendship would have to be built up first- Again, functionism has meant that sometimes people would try to date him just because he's an 'anomaly'.
Use of telepathy/mind reading: Yes, to some extent. Warn me ahead of time at least.
CRAU recognition: Sure!
