Prowl - SIC of the Autobots

[prowl]

Name: Prowl

Race: Bot

Gender: Male

Age: 350 Stellarcycles

Origin: Cybertron

Allegiance: Autobots

Description:

Prowl’s mech form is one that many might admire, slender and of medium height, he is perfectly sculpted with samurai-armour-like features. His face is long and dark grey, with a joint blue optical sensor, above which pointed golden tips crown his head. The back of his head is black and shaped almost circularly, like a helmet, though this is often hidden as Prowl normally wears his inherited helmet from Master Yoketron. The said helmet shields the sides of his face with black and gold and is crested by two golden pronged “horns”, giving him a more defended, battle-ready appearance.

Moving down his chest is a glossy black though just beneath it a golden under-arch stretches from his left booster to his right booster. His natural shoulders are black with thin gold trim, whilst armoured his shoulders are sharp and extended, with black as the primary colour and a thick band of gold surrounding it’s edges. His un-advanced boosters (which again are rarely seen) are of a slender gold, whilst his upgraded boosters are hefty and black, protruding from between his shoulder and neck.

Beneath Prowl’s chest but above his waist, a red and white Autobots symbol is worn proudly, in full view of anyone who might care to place his allegiance. Dark grey of the same shade of his face extends from the back of the chest down almost to where the waist is, until it changes to a solid black band, almost like a belt, around his waist, which is topped with a golden upside-down triangle. Downgraded hands are topped by a thick upper black ridge, with a removable gold section where one might disguise upgrades, upgraded these are somewhat less easy to access as they are hidden by half a wheel on each servo, courtesy of his upgraded sidecar. With slender black legs and golden samurai plating Prowl’s feet are covered by solid black armour and topped with his main wheels on either leg, granting him the ability to swap to them in order to move quickly in mech form when necessary.

When speaking across the com-link Prowl must press lightly to the side of his left temple to open the link, his microphone is internal and thus he can speak quietly or loudly as he pleases in order to communicate. With the majority of his body being black, Prowl sometimes overheats in the sunlight and seeks refuge amongst the trees. It has been well known for aeons that Prowl is an avid lover of nature and as a human would be a vegetarian.

When he transforms Prowl’s usual vehicle is a NYPD Texas Motorcycle, though on Cybertron he was known to take a more sleek, alien black and gold motorcycle. His holographic image – which is important, due to his “driver” being one of the most easily visible – pictures a tall, slim man with beige trousers, boots and a black leather jacket with black fur trim. This same organic hologram is known to wear a white helmet, not unlike Prowl’s downgraded version of the back of his head, it also usually wears black shades and sports a moustache. The hologram appears to be an NYPD police officer.

Prowl has been known to have a short-nerve at times and can take things very personally, though he often tries to retain his zen and calm through using the ancient technique of processor over matter. For weapons he has ninja stars, his jump jet boosters (which allow him to fly for quick, short amounts of time) and his holographic projector. He is known to regularly use his holographic projector to distract his opponent whilst lurking for them to pass elsewhere, though this tactic has been known to be somewhat ineffective against other Cyberninja. Prowl is an honourable and merciful bot with a great sense of justice and heart. He is willing to sacrifice himself in the same of peace and one day hopes that he will live to see the constant war between Decepticons and Autobots be settled.

He once held the opinion of a neutral, of it not being his fight, until it was made his and then he began to change. He has tendencies to be reckless without regret and sometimes disobeys orders or takes things into his own hands. Prowl is a bot that sometimes gets on other’s nerves simply for his nature and ability to not be irritated or rushed by things that others are. He is a master of flexibility and concentration and often thinks things through logically before acting – though if the matter is personal, he is known to do the opposite.

Past:

Prowl was born through the allspark, and his component parts came to life as the blessing of a protoform. Since a young age he was reckless and hotheaded, not caring for inter-bot diplomacy. When the war against the Decepticons raged, Prowl avoided being drafted into the autobot forces on several occasions. Shortly after this, he was caught by the Autobots and sent to the stockades, as happened to bots whom did not choose an allegiance yet still strayed in Autobot airspace. He spent 50 stellarcycles in the stockades, but using his wits he survived going insane in his prison. After these cycles, he was unexpectedly released and taken to a Circuit Su training base, where he met the cyberninjas which were to change his life; Master Yoketron, Dai Atlas, Heavy Load, Jazz, Lockdown, Road Rocket, Springer and Star Saber.

At first he refused to be initiated into Cyberninja ranks, until Master Yoketron said that he was free to leave - if he did not stop him before he could escape. After failing to get out of the door before the master could stop him, Prowl submitted to becoming Master Yoketron's new student. When Prowl later failed to conquer the processor over matter technique he was sent out to see the world by Master Yoketron. Upon returning to Yoketron's dojo later on in life he found his Master slain and the protoforms stolen. With a vow to avenge him Prowl returned to his studies elsewhere until he was stumbled upon by Optimus, Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee.

His ship destroyed by an unfortunate blast Prowl assisted the Autobots until he was capable of returning to cybertron. When their ship Teletran1 was attacked by Decepticons, crash landing on Earth Prowl found himself a seemingly more permanent member of the team. Since then he has been a fully fledged Autobot and was lately promoted to becoming Autobot second in command under Optimus Magnus.

Other: Cyberninja, possible relation to both Bumblebee and Lockdown.
