Another new guy- Reaver

Reaver is a large Seeker, about mid-chassis-height to Megatron, with a build similar to Predaking’s but a bit lighter. Lots of sharp edges, all topped off with a pair of jet-black horns that sweep up from his helm. Impressive pair of up-swept wings, black clawtips, and a set of thrusters on his legs that he can use for brief flight in root mode.

His plating is patterned in a deep, intense grey and the blue of the first metal on this page http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/charred-metal-surface.html, like singed metal, and his nanites fill in scar tissue in the same black as his horns. He has some assorted battle scars scattered around his frame, nothing too severe, including one that slashes down across his optic but missed the lens itself. His optics glow a deep, intense red, his features are sharp, and there are several vertical slits in each cheek. 

The slits look almost like scars, but are perfectly clean, and run all the way through and into his mouth. He can flare them open at will, and previously had the dentae directly through the slits made larger and sharper for intimidation purposes. There are odd singe marks around the slits, and exactly why that is becomes evident if he needs to threaten someone. Reaver can breathe fire, and can puff a quick gust of it through the slits to show that off, though he can’t do that for long- his face isn’t entirely fireproof, just heat-resistant. 

Reaver was formerly part of a group something like knights, all fallen to the war. They were devoted to the protection of the innocent, or the closest thing to innocent, and were very… shall we say, dramatic. They were sensible, though, nothing like the group/cult Vanguard was born into. They encouraged interface only on an as-needed basis to burn charge and encourage mental health, and there was basically no discussion of kinks, ever, but most of them were from similar genetic stock and had moderate-to-low libidos anyway. 

Reaver, for his part, is unaware of… just about every kink that exists. The kinkiest thing he’s done so far is spread himself open for a partner to see/enjoy- though he would be open to learning, he’s a curious mech at spark. A mirror in front of him would be right up his alley, among other things, and would get him all flustered and blushy. Admiration is another good way to get him acting considerably less stoic, and it’s not difficult- he may be intimidating, but he’s quite attractive, and his equipment is a particularly deep shade of that gorgeous blue-green. 

If you want to get this guy relaxed, servo-feeding him is the way to go. His group would semi-regularly feed each other from energon cubes or other vessels as a sort of bonding exercise, something like a reminder that they held each other’s lives in their servos, and it’s a symbol of trust and safety to him. Feeding him directly from one’s servos, though it might require some gentle coaxing, would have him beautifully relaxed almost immediately. It’s not a kink, it’s more the meaning, the intent, that calms him. The experience helps, too. 

He’s much kinder than his name would suggest. His former home had a thing for dramatic names, really. Don’t get me wrong, he’s very capable in battle, good with blasters, energy bows, and a type of energy bullwhip meant for use in combat. The flamethrower-breath helps, too. Reaver isn’t overly fond of battle, really- he’s willing to fight, if needed, but doesn’t tend to like loud situations, violence, or killing. 

Another part of him does, though. 

Reaver has DID, dissociative identity disorder. That’s the new name for multiple personality disorder, essentially. It’s characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personalities in the same body, usually with each personality not conscious/aware while another is presenting. Some people may not even know what’s going on, they just have memory gaps. Reaver knows about his alternate thanks to his former compatriots, and the shows she likes to leave for him.

Her name is Ravager, and she is not pleasant, but fortunately doesn’t surface often. She surfaced the first time Reaver was in a situation where he had to abandon his morals in favor of violent, dirty, underhanded combat. He probably always had the potential for her to turn up, and trying to reconcile his own response to the situation, his evident willingness to abandon his own morals, caused his processor to split the destructive, violent impulses off into Ravager. 

She functions as a completely separate person, but a simple one: violent, bloodthirsty, wanting nothing more than carnage. Ravager thinks Reaver is soft and weak, and will probably get them both killed- he nearly has, several times, and only survived because Reaver surfaced to do everything it took to keep their collective frame alive. Fortunately, she’s easily bored, and vanishes entirely when there’s no more fighting to do- though not without ripping up the corpses to leave a nice, horrifying show for Reaver. 

Reaver tells himself that he can keep Ravager under control. He can’t, but, really, you can’t blame the guy. It takes a particular type of panicked, pained adrenaline to bring her up, so she really only shows when he’s literally about to die. Reaver can’t be blamed for not focusing on much of anything internal while trying not to die. Fortunately, she only shows up in those situations- anything less, and she may as well not be in there at all. 

Bracer info (includes some NSFW)

Bracer is my counterpart to Tempo. 

First off, he’s big. And by that, I mean he’s close to TFP Megatron’s height and somewhere between Bulkhead and Ratchet in build, more towards the heavy side. His plating is all rounded and smooth and nice to touch, and his helmet has this low point between his optics that makes him look a little bit like a pangolin. He has little horns a small distance above his optics, and they’re sensitive to touch and stroking. Big, wide, honest optics, constantly calm, sweet expression. A bit shy sometimes, but generally open, earnest, and very nice to be around.

He met Tempo just before the war, at a bar where someone had been yelling at Tempo for his lack of desire to have a too-large spike shoved into his valve. Bracer objected, shooed away the yelling mech, gently put himself between the aft and Tempo, and started casual conversation.

Eventually asked “so, if you don’t mind… if you don’t like being spiked, and you don’t like spiking, what do you like in berth?” 

Which caused Tempo, in probably his bravest act up to date, to squeak out “do you want to come and find out?” up at him. 

An excellent time was had. Because, guess what? Bracer has several kinks, and one of said kinks is thigh fucking. Which just happens to be Tempo’s favorite alternative to being spiked- having someone gently squeeze his thighs shut around their spike and grind against him, rub against his valve. Bonus points for being large enough to hold him in their servos and support him. And he liked at the time that Bracer was too large to try that whole “oh, just try the tip of my spike” nonsense, because Bracer’s spike is way too big to fit anywhere on Tempo without a massive amount of prep work. 

Thing is, Bracer never ended up COMMing Tempo after that. Tempo sulked for awhile, assuming he’d been rejected, but got over it.

Turned out Bracer had been ‘drafted’ into a project to help protect some of the smaller, less well-armored nobles. 

His alt mode is a rounded tank, almost spherical, that walks on four short, jointed legs instead of moving on treads. Those lil horns on his helm end up at the perfect height to poke people ahead of him if they’re too slow, and he’s very well-armored, so he was perfect for the program. 

Namely, being modded to add a cockpit in his alt that a small mech could ride in, and a set of controls in the cockpit to override some of his autonomy and force him to go in specific directions. Also an obnoxious horn. 

He eventually got out of that program (read: the people in charge of it and the utterly awful mech in his cockpit had been exploded), but he kept most of the mods. He immediately got a medic to shut down all the controls, but he kept the cockpit because it was good for protecting his small, lightly-armored friends, and he kept the horn because he kinda liked being able to startle afts with a tank-sized airhorn. 

He can fling people away if they land on him, either in alt mode or root mode, as much of his plating is supported on springs that let him toss offenders away. He also has two cannons somewhere in his frame, but he refuses to use those- he’s as close to a pacifist as he can manage in any given situation. 

He eventually finds Tempo again after the war, apologizes, explains, and proceeds to charm him all over again.
