Character Information
*Character Name: Ramjet, Herald of Unicron
*Character Canon: Transformers: Universe/Timelines
*Age: Adult
*Race: Cybertronian/possibly something else involving being part otherspace abomination
*Timeline/Pull Point: At/after the end of the Timelines/club comic Balancing Act, as/after Vector Prime opens up the dimensional tear to shunt Ramjet through.
*History: TF wiki link.
*Personality: Whoever Ramjet was before he became a Herald of Unicron, before Unicron's death and Ramjet's imprisonment in the space between dimensions at the mercy of ancient evils hardly matters now. What's left of that mech is probably nothing more than the bits and pieces which has survived him both becoming a Unicronian and his later torture. The firm dedication and loyalty that he gives to Unicron and his goals which being destroyed and remade several times couldn't completely corrupt.
There is, however, some suggestion his devotion is no longer pure, as his first reaction wasn't to use the corrupted Matrix Nemesis Prime carried to ressurrect Unicron, but rather use it to kill Primus. This despite that former could have been accomplished more easily and would have returned Unicron to continue his goals and function. But no, Ramjet preferred the method that would seat the Unicron Singularity at the head of a "swirling, infinite hell of nothingness" after the Singularity had destroyed the Cybertron of the reality it was in, and then replicated itself in the place of Cybertron in all other realities. This would, after all, give Ramjet what he wanted; the multiverse destroyed, creation nullified, which is still similar enough to Unicron's goals it could feasibly be the same thing.
Even with that, Ramjet can switch tracks rather easily. He went back to the method that actually might be more attractive to his Lord after he realised what he was doing and that it might be easier to convince Vector Prime to "let them" ressurrect Unicron rather than to destroy the multiverse. He's further kept a modicum of irreverence and sarcasm which he directs nearly indiscriminately towards people or situations. He calls Vector Prime "old mech" and describs his and Nemesis Prime's situation with Unicron as "being out of a job". Ramjet's penchant for drama has somehow also survived his trials, reacting in an overly skittish manner along with his being genuinely startled when Skyfall popped out from under the rubble he was buried under for example. His verbal language is as melodramatic as his body language, exaggerating and enhancing what he says and does at all times. Probably not only for the effect it has, but possibly because such an "extreme" personality trait is easier to hold onto and remember.
He also seems to consider Nemesis a valuable ally and, perhaps, more than that depending on if calling the Prime "my friend" is sincere at all or more sarcasm. He does, however, talk to Nemesis in a rather straightforward fashion - not excluding his usual dramatic embellishments.
Stripping away all else, Ramjet is probably an extremely powerful and mentally stubborn individual. He hasn't just survived being one of the most powerful agents of Unicron, but also survived having his spark toyed with and his existence unmade and remade. He hasn't come through it sane, but that he's come through it at all, even less as conversant and arguably coherent as he is, is enough proof Ramjet's force of will is impressive. The insanity itself is generally not noticed as Ramjet's melodrama hides it pretty well, but that doesn't mean it's not there and doesn't affect him. Generally, however, what will be seen is an overly dramatic but reasonable (for a measure of it), and reasoning mech. Ramjet quite often comes across not as a mech glitched beyond what any processor ought to be able to handle, but conversant... as long as the one he's speaking to is of use to him.
Found useless, they'd better hope that he's not interested in destroying them at the moment. That is, after all, easily accomplished thanks to his powers and the fact that he doesn't really need the help. Even if it might be practical with a couple extra hands and weapons every now and then. The few who fall in neither category would probably either be any enemies, those aligned with Unicron, or anyone powerful enough to withstand and survive any attempts at either destruction or "conscription" into service of Unicron.
Ramjet also seems to have some innate knowledge of and feeling for the "balance" between Unicron and Primus and what their mutual continued existence means for the multiverse as personifications of chaos and order, destruction and creation. He has invested some interest in keeping said balance, going so far as saying that he and Vector Prime "ultimately serve the same master" when they're fighting as they're both aware that without one (either Unicron or Primus), the multiverse will die in the end.
*Powers/Abilities: Ramjet can transform between his root robot mode and a (Cybertronian) jet, but this isn't the greatest of his 'powers'. Ramjet's connection to Unicron allows him to traverse dimensions at will, to always know where Unicron is, and then follow that link to come to him. He can also inflict reality-warping/destroying injuries on his victims, ripping them apart on a meta/physical level (firing a beam of uncreation at Vector Sigma and Alpha Trion, for example, though Jackhammer merely touching him had some negative effect as well, due to his aura).
Further, after the "attention" paid him by those ancient evils between universes, his very existence and presence warps, destroys and ultimately nullifies the reality around him (vaguely visible as a purple aura around him) and has enhanced his previous Unicron-given abilities. Since these beings were toying with his very spark, and not just his physical frame, Ramjet isn't purely cybertronian anymore. Even Vector Prime was uncertain what Ramjet was anymore or that he was up to the task of fighting him.
At the same time, however, despite all of Ramjet's great powers, due to what has been done to him it's only through sheer force of will that Ramjet keeps himself together. If this is completely, or in a form familiar to himself is uncertain, given what breaks out from his frame even when he isn't taxed. Simply put is that Ramjet in a constant state of being and unbeing... On the other hand, killing him might be impossible as well, as he states he's immortal at the end of the comic.
He further possesses a wing-sword (which might not actually be one of his ACTUAL wings, so much as an extension of them, as each time he pulls it out he still has both wings, but it's affected by his general state as much as any part of him is), and possibly some other armaments, but considering he doesn't even need to reach out to basically kill someone in one of the most horrifying ways possible by warping their very being, he's not overly reliant on conventional weapons.
It's questionable whether Ramjet, inside the "shell" that looks like what he's used to, actually contains anything but his spark and whatever else he now consists of, as the times he splits open the mask, what's seen beneath isn't metal components, but what seems like fiery energy.
*Power Enhancements: Let's not be greedy. Unicronians get no power enhancements from being unglyphed (it's not as if he really needs it)! However, Ramjet can cause instant madness and empower other glyphless with portions of his own/Unicron's power, as per mod permission.
*Inventory: Nothing but himself. The minicons got lost in transit.
If AU, how does your character differ from canon?: N/A
Writing Samples
*First Person Sample: [The feed switches on, tilted and awkward as sparks are thrown across the view and static interrupts the feed intermittently. The image is mostly showing a part of a pile of junk, crushed and scattered, but also part of a cybertronian's lower arm, hand and continuing on out of view, a leg.
Except it looks as if whoever this is, is having... issues. The metal's cracking, then melting, purplish energy leaking out and then it all seals up again, pristine, before brownish boils appear, burst and let something that looks suspiciously organic slide out before that too disappears and leaves pristine metal again. Between all that, sometimes the white and blue metal simply looks... odd. As if it's not merely metal anymore.]
The balance is restored... Unicron lives again. [The speaker might be sounding faintly disappointed, but if so, it's quickly drowned as the voice turns to triumph, and then the camera is redirected from showing that continuously melting and reforming bit of plating to a face. The face isn't melting and looks surprisingly whole, showing a somewhat Seeker-like helm (disregarding thehorn fin visible at the upper part) and a black mask making up the faceplates.]
I don't suppose any of you have seen my minicons? About this high. [A hand moves into view, sketching out the height of an average minicon, but the most interesting thing is probably the purplish or right out organic-looking... tentacles? that are snaking from some cracks only to disperse into the general glow of energy around the mech as the cracks close.]
Answer to Terradive, Thunderclash, Gunbarrel and Thunderwing. My poor little pets are lost without me to hide behind, after all. [The tilt to his helm and the glitter in his optics could suggest a smirk if he could make one, but Ramjet would prefer if his minicons were here. He can do a lot of things on his own, but more than two hands and optics available was always useful.]
That over with, however... Such a delightful place. It was a while since I've been privy to a Cybertron this young. Vulnerable. Unprotected and already tainted! [He throws his hands out and laughs softly, but the noise doesn't seem to exactly originate from within him, and the glow from his optics doesn't seem... right.]
They're trying to protect you, aren't they? And they're failing! There's those among you untouched. Crumbling to the darkness within, as is inevitable.
[Suddenly, the shadows seem to fall wrong, twisting the face into something not-quite as cleanly angular as it should be as his optics flare but still doesn't lift the darkness around his faceplates.]
For those of you not under the protection of our dear creator... Come to me! You can be more than you are even now, and if you prove yourselves, power unimaginable and life until the end of all things shall be yours!
[The hand offered to the screen turns from a fairly normal cybertronian hand into something with claws; smooth and while still made of metal... wrong. The purple energy swirling about it actually shorts the feed out instead of it being turned off normally.]
