no subject
Character name: Freya | Forestock/Vos
Character canon: Transformers IDW: Cyberganic AU
Canon point: Just after fishing Tarn out of the Nuke tank with Nickel.
Physical Description: Played by Antje Traue. Vos in full armour, including the back kibble. Facemask when it's detached. She stands 5'1 (5'2 in full armour). She's athletic, well built and highly flexible to the point she could be a gymnast; in armour, she's not as flexible, but she can still move. Her hair's shoulder-length brown and her eyes are very much blue, something she got from her 'mother'. She typically wears shorts, white tights, kneehigh boots and zip up vests, all in darker colours, but she's been known to wear just about anything she can get her hands on. There's a Decepticon tattoo on her chest (it's gold). Her belt buckle (also the Decepticon logo) is also gold. The gold Con symbols attached to each ID tag is made from the harvested metal of her spark chamber.
About the Character: Let's get the canon stuff out of the way: Canon history of the IDW universe, of the DJD, and Vos. The AU mostly follows the broad strokes of the world, only everyone is "humanised" with appropriate changes. OPT-OUT POST HERE. And a more in-depth detailing of the AU because that stuff is rather wordy and detailed and filled with a million links. But, while all that background is good, let's talk about Freya herself.
Cultistsgroupies. Unfortunately, Thunderwing got away. Millions of years later he'd return, this time rather batshit crazy insane and pretty much The Harbinger of the doom he saw befalling Cybertron.Personality wise? Vos -real name Freya- is not a nice woman. She's also somewhat cynical in general, though how much depends wholly on her view of the situation at hand.
She is a linguistic purist, a scientist with questionable morality at best, fanatically loyal to the Decepticon Cause, a professional sadist, torturer, mass murder, and sniper by 'birth'.
What she is not is mass-produced and she is damn proud of that fact. She is a member of the Decepticon Justice Division, a group who hunts down Decepticon traitors and 'shows them the error of their ways' via horrific and brutal torture culminating in the target's rather messy death. This means it can be said she does not feel guilt over her actions, whatever they be. Some would go so far as to say she is a socio/psychopath who'd kill given half a chance. Yet, it's her job (her function even) to do what she does. A job that comes with some perks, but a job all the same. So no, she won't be killing anyone without orders or a damned good reason like 'mercy-kill'.
That she happens to be good at it goes without saying. That she tends to get a kick out of it... not so much. But she has never directly killed without orders from a superior and she is very proud of that little-known fact.
Yet, she's actively egged various teammates on at times when she doesn't -or can't- join in the 'fun'. At the same time, killing people is a job to her; one she isn't shy talking about. She kills people for a living. There's no getting around that. That said, it's rather interesting to note that one of her main methods of torture, though certainly not the only one but arguably the most enjoyable to her, is to detach the facemask of her armour and force victims to wear it in a rather visceral counterpoint to empurata. However, Vos is also not above getting into a good old brawl or acting as sniper/sniper support, though she does get annoyed at people forgetting she is more than her gun.
She can and will physically remind people of this. Even Tarn, for all the complicated love Vos holds for her, is not immune, and it should go without saying this translates to the rest of the DJD.
When it comes to the languages she speaks, Vos is very much a stick in the mud, heavily preferring to speak only Primal Vernacular, not Neo-Cybex. She does understand it and can speak it though. She simply chooses not to speak it as much as possible. However, given she writes her reports in Neo-Cybex -and submits them promptly-, she's not above writing in other languages, and through this, she knows several extinct languages of Cybertron.
Vos is an incredibly intelligent, observant woman who is willing to use or exploit others, be it for short-term gains, or longer ones, if they can be of some use. For example, she was the one who suggested using Rewind to film the atrocious ties they committed on the Alternate Lost Light, even going so far as to force him to watch the death of his husband, taking no small amount of delight in what happened. That said, Vos is willing to adhere to any deal -provided the deal is adhered to in the first place.
She's able to generally predict what her teammates would like/do to some degree of accuracy, such as pointing out that Tarn would not appreciate them jumping in when it came to the fight with Deathsaurus, or telling the group that it's better to let Helex do what she wishes with the brain of their victims. That said, when it comes to Tarn, Vos is not afraid to tell it like it is. For all Tarn is her commanding officer, she is also her Best Friend Forever and occasional fuck buddy. It's a fine line, but one they walk with skill.
But Vos did not sign up for Tarn's brand of paperwork, and despite the time that has passed, still finds it annoying. Yet in the end, as much as she hates the work, Vos will do it, pointedly returning it to Tarn within the day. It doesn't mean she wouldn't be nervous when it comes to reviews though. As much as they are friends, Danielle is her Commanding Officer. One that takes the role seriously.
Vos agrees wholeheartedly with the Decepticon ideology, not simply because the joining them gave her an outlet and a chance to inflict pain. She grew up a member of the oppressed castes and has plenty of negative feelings towards her oppressors and being used in some manner without her consent, thought of as simply a gun, or taken for granted because of her weapon. Some might claim the Cause conflicts with her belief system; yet to Vos, the Cause might as well be an extension of said system. Plus, she has, and will, execute anyone on the List who has her faith. A job is a job... and no-one ever said her beliefs prohibited killing.

HammerSpace Item.
The Armour (AKA modified canon appearance)
Physical abilities
Inventory:
Clothes on her back + combat knife in boot
Decepticon necklace w/dog tags
Nano-tech bracelets at her wrists. (Armour and Sniper rifle (energy weapon) stored within the linked hammerspace.)
20 grams of powdered 'Nuke' in her pockets. Added to 2L of energon, this is roughly 20 doses.
A canister of 45 energon tablets. Works like water filtration only turns 2L of water into artificial energon that tastes like utter crap. It's enough to keep her alive, but it's not the best.
Samples: Toplevel
REVISIONS REQUEST
-> While this is an improvement over the previous app submission, it is still over the maximum wordcount and relies a little too heavily on source canon familiarity. We'd like to see a revision that brings it under the wordcount and makes the details and events of the AU a little easier to follow for a layman.
Please respond to this comment within 72 hours with these changes!

ACCEPTED
Additionally, if you use a secondary journal for icon space or other purposes, please respond to this comment with it so that we can get it included!
For your participation in the Test Drive, your character also receives the following items of loot;
A No Brainer: A cute little beanie, made out of pink knit material. When you put it on, you'll find yourself getting very sleepy until a nap seems absolutely irresistible. But have no fear. You'll only sleep for ten minutes once you nod off, but you'll feel as refreshed as you would've done after a full night's sleep. It only seems to work once every few days, though.
