Blackshot Profile

Description

You know, I realized the other day, its one thing to come up with a hero you can really relate to, but how do you go about coming up with an antagonist you can really loath, without blowing them way outta proportion? - it pays to do your research, and to work up the details from the inside out. This one took me a while, and I hope she'll do well in my writings.

PROFILE:

Blackshot is femme who always gets what she wants, and what she wants is to destroy the Decepticons and restore peace to Cybertron. Second in command of the 9 and Majestrix Prima’s right-hand femme, Blackshot is a strict no-nonsense commander who has little time for trivial things and always delivers 110% in whatever task she does. Being Majestrix’s best friend since before the war and one of the few who knew of her true identity, Majestrix entrusted Blackshot to command her troops in her stead, delivering her orders when she saw fit and keeping a close optic on events as they transpired. For those who work alongside her directly and know her well, Blackshot is something of an enigma, and a force to be respected and reckoned with; she’s a dedicated, hard nosed, and somewhat ruthless disciplinarian who never spares the whip and never lets you quit until the job is done (and done right). She has patience but she has little time for those who fall behind in their duties, and while she is cool, level-headed and hardly ever loses her temper, she can be quite sinister and a little unpredictable when angered or provoked. Most of the time it’s hard to tell what mood she’s in, and when one assumes they know what she’s feeling at any given time, their often incorrect.

Tactically she’s a brilliant strategist, well versed in every known form of cybertronian hand to hand combat and martial arts, she studied the Autobot military archives in great detail and has learnt every Decepticon trick and tactic there is. Blackshot is well renowned in Autobot intelligence circles as she was the first cybertronian to develop counter-telepathy, a form of ‘applied meditation’ where by an individual can sense when their mind is being probed by a telepath, and likewise learn to block them out and divert the telepath’s attention with fulse thoughts and memories. With Crystalwing, Twilightveil and Obsidian’s help, Blackshot perfected the technique and taught it to all the bots under her command, as well as several other individuals from the Autobot Intelligence Division. The technique paid off big time and was the founding element that lent to the 9’s proficiency as an elite intelligence division and a specialized attack force that retained its reputation for being ‘untouchable’...
But being untouchable comes at a steep price, and Blackshot has been more than willing to pay in full every time a victory needed to be secured...

Over the centuries the 9 have buried a lot of bodies, and Blackshot is the one who has done most of the burying; for all her brilliance and proficiency as a warrior and a leader, her ethics and moral standing leave much to be desired. Over the course of the war she has undertaken many ‘covert missions’ in the name of securing vital intel, apprehending certain cons or procuring a Decepticon stronghold of some kind; but how she conducts those missions has raised just as many questions as it has eyebrows. Evidence has shown that her tactics leave little room for respect of the Prime Directive, and the question of fighting honourably is debatable at best; Blackshot genuinely believes in having to do whatever is necessary in order to win the war, even if that means having to resort to underhanded and brutal tactics, sometimes even going so far as to do far worse than the Decepticons themselves. Over the years she has been at the centre of several controversial incidences where her actions were called into question, even her allegiance to the Autobots has been scrutinized once or twice as her lack of empathy and compassion, and apparent apathy for the welfare of others, has led some to question whether she should be a leader let alone an Autobot at all.

But trying to accurately guess what’s going on in Blackshot’s mind is enigmatic at best, to those who know her at a distance she’s very astute and therefore hard to approach, but to the 9 and those who’ve known her best over the years Blackshot is even more mysterious. Her precise motives are known only to her (even her sister Swiftshot doesn’t know what she gets up to half the time), she doesn’t clue anyone in on her plans unless she deems fit to do so and because of her expertise in counter-telepathy her mind is undetectable to even the most powerful telepaths. Over time Majestrix became more aware of her friend’s darker side, and often had to keep a short leash on her, least she tried something she would come to regret; over the years Blackshot’s attitude towards the war became more arrogant and self-righteous, so her friendship with Majestrix became more strained and tenuous, the only reason the Prima kept her as her SIC was because she couldn’t afford to let someone of her calibre go so easily, not when con’s like Soundwave, Shockwave and Megatron himself posed a great threat; that, and she tried to maintain the meaning that their friendship had, and pointing out that her sister was a great factor in her life too. But despite her best efforts, Majestrix held many doubts over keeping Blackshot as her SIC, while she couldn’t deny her skills and strategy always enabled the 9 to stay on top form, at the same time the black femme’s actions were leading them down a very dark path; one that she fears, might lead them to somewhere they may never be able to turn back from...

And one, they may ultimately come to regret...

Despite her sleek appearance, Blackshot is a femme who always has a trick up her sleeve, even when backed into a corner and the odds are against her she always has a way to get out of a tight spot. Being Majestrix Prima’s second in command demands that she be prepared for anything, and when it comes to the art of war, anything is her forte. On the outside her frame looks like it’s designed for sniping, but in truth it was designed to incorporate many hidden sub-spaces and compartments, as well as modified parts to conceal hidden weapons. She has a twin pair of lazar guns and plasma guns that can pack some serious punches, a set of concealed spring-loaded wrist-blades that can cause serious damage to an attacker’s armour at close range, a deflector-shield generator that can create a protective force-field around herself and anyone else she’s in physical contact with, and a EMP generator that can knock out any con within a two hundred foot radius. Blackshot is also quite a talented hacker, and with her interface cables being reinforced with electro-nanites she can interface with any hardware or software and rewrite any system to get what she needs. NOTE: The weapons listed above are her known weapons of choice, but it is speculated she might posses other’s that are built into her frame, whether this is true or not is a topic of much speculation.

ALTMODE:

Blackshot’s altmode is the Cybertronian HR038 Stealth-Class Manta-wing; like her sister it’s built for long-term stealth missions and stealth; but unlike Swiftshot, Blackshot’s engines are calibrated to fly at speeds 5000mph. She possesses all the same stealth capabilities and weapons as her sister, with the acceptation of the lack of a sniper rifle; instead her undercarriage is designed to carry a payload of up to 2000 pounds in air to ground missiles, ion-plasma rockets and energon-stinger missiles.
