Ophi = Orange
Showtime = Yellow
Desinex = Red
Yup, it's that time again...only this time, I'm throwing Ophi to the wolves as well!
"...gee, thanks. Isn't it bad enough that you've got some bad shit planned for me in the future?"
"Get used to it, fleshling. Don't forget what she did to me."
"Desinex, be nice, no stepping on the humans!"
"Frag off, Showtime. And don't talk to me for the rest of the test."
Is your character named after yourself or your screen name? (+1)
“Technically, my name is an anagram of Den’s given name with an ‘x’ thrown in, so yes. (+1)
“Nope!”
"Ophelia...it's a human name, because I am HUMAN."
Is your character described as beautiful? (+1)
“Well, Quicksilver seems to think so…”*smug grin*(+1)
“I think Den made it apparent that I’m not beautiful…I’d say I’m fairly average-looking.”*shrug*
"Ya know, I don't think she ever mentioned that..."
"Unusually" or "astonishingly" beautiful? (+2)
“Well…”
*rolls eyes* Desi, it’s only been stated HERE. I’m not sure it counts.
*SNERK*
"Again, no mention of it."
The most beautiful Transformer who's ever lived? (+3)
“It hasn’t come yet…but I’m sure it will…”
*rolls optics* “Narcissist…Anyways, Den stated quite clearly that I’m not the most beautiful Transformer who’s ever lived…but she at least was nice enough to say I’m not ugly…”*shrug*
"I'm not a Transformer...I'm human."
Are her optics an unusual color? (+1)
“Mine are STILL red, Den."
“Blue-grey…but still normal, I think…”
"...My eyes are blue, thank you very much."
Do they change color according to her mood? (+1)
I think the only one who does/did that is/was Shaba…who isn’t any of my gals, so nope!
Does she have long, flowing hair? (+2)
“Again, long hair plus rifle equals pain. in. the. AFT.”
“And I still agree with her!”
"My hair's shorter than Den's. It barely comes to my jaw...so nope!"
Do you describe it on the first page of the story? (+2)
*collective shout* “NO.”
Do you describe it more than once? (+3)
Mandy beat me to the joke…
Is she a recolored and/or "feminized" version of a canon character? (+1)
nope for Desi and Showtime...Ophi will never become a Transformer, so I'm kinda unsure if this applies, but I'll answer "no" until proven otherwise.
Is she a Seeker? (+1)
"Two words: Jet. Judo.”
"What she said!"
"Again, I am HUMAN."
Do you spend more than two consecutive paragraphs describing her physical appearance? (+1)
Apparently, character applications no longer count, so Desi and Showtime both got off the hook this time...
"She only mentioned that I was a redhead. The other descriptive stuff came later in maybe a grand total of half a paragraph, scattered throughout the chapters."
Do you begin the story with her description? (+1)
"The only thing you mentioned at the beginning of the story was my haircolor. I don't think that counts for much."
Do you make it a point to mention that she's as tall, or taller, than the average male? (+1)
“I think 14.5 feet is around average height for femmes..."
*glares at Den* 16.5 feet. (+1)
Desi, you're still smaller than the majority of the mechs…heck, Quicksilver has a good 13.5 feet on you.
“True…and he knows how to use it to his advantage.”*smirk*
*twitch*
"I'm short, around 5'2... Den made it a point to state that in one of the chapters."
Does the story begin with something like, "Hi there! I'm (character name) and this is my story..." etc.? (+10)
I’ve seen that…in Final Fantasy X…it was CANON, and NOT TF, so there.
Does she have wings on her shoulders? (+1)
*eyes certain not-yet-available femme charrie* Technically, they’ll be Microwings…so I don’t think that’ll count…(I’ll do the test again when she comes into play.)
"Again...human. Not Applicable."
Does she have wings on her butt? (-20 and you're excused from the rest of the test.)
*SNERK*
“…”*KERTHUD*
"..."*laughs uncontrollably at the image*
Does she have more than one alt-mode? (+1)
More than two? (+2)
More than three? (+3)
No X 3.
Is her robot mode surprisingly lacking in the "kibble" that would logically be necessary to transform
into all these things (because then she wouldn't be as purty)? (+2)
Nope, as it doesn’t apply in this question.
Does she transform via "magic" or some advanced and/or alien technology? (+2)
…Hey, Desi, are you hiding Harry Potter in there?*Snickering*
“Harry Potter? Like I’d let that non-existant fleshbag foul up my interior?!”
Is one of her alt-modes an animal with wings? (+1)
Nope for all of ‘em.
An animal that doesn't typically have wings (like a cat)? (+2)
Any fantasy-type creature (dragon, unicorn, griffin, etc.)? (+2)
I honestly cannot believe there are people who write this sorta stuff…*sighs*
Is one of her alt-modes organic or partly organic (if she's G1)? (+2)
No
Does her name contain one or more of the following:
Star/Sun/Sky? (+1)
Fire/Flame? (+1)
Night/Day/Dawn/Shadow? (+1)
Black/Silver? (+1)
Cat/Wolf/Raptor/Dragon? (+1)
Dark/Blood/Death/Blade? (+1)
“…Fleshbags actually name characters with names like that?! Even Den’s a bit more creative than that…”
Any variation of Optimus, Ultra, Mega, Galva, etc. (Includes Prime and -tron suffixes)? (+2)
*snerk* Come on, how lame do you think I am? I mean yeah, Showtime is kinda cheesy, but it fits into the standard procedures for naming TFs…I think…
"Plus, mine is simply an anagram of Den's given name with an extra letter."
A deliberately misspelled word, like Fyre or Darke? (+2)
Good god, people. That’s not even FUNNY.
An inexplicable capital letter in the middle of the name? (+2)
Eh…technically, WakeJumper does…but since this is for the femmes, nope.
Does she have a two-part name composed entirely of the previous, like "FyreBlade NightDragyn"?
(+20, and come on)
Does her full name include a "the," followed by some supposedly cool-sounding descriptive,
like, "DeathWolf the Soul-Flayer"? (+2)
Is her name a completely made-up word like nothing any canon TF has ever had, just because you
thought it sounded cool? (+3)
Is her name a painfully blatant feminization of a canon name, like "Starscreamia" or "Lady Optimus"?
(+10)
No to all of the above. Whoever said that it makes them think the character had a sex change was right. it does the same thing to me.
Have you used the same name for a non-TF character in another universe? (+1)
“…I plead the fifth.” (+1)
Sorry, Desi…it’s technically for another RP, a non-TF one, but still, it counts.
Two or more other universes? (+2)
Is it because she's actually the same character and has the ability to travel between dimensions and
alter her appearance to suit each one, or some such? (+10, and sigh)
“…I can’t believe humans actually write stuff like that…”
Does she have any of the following abilities:
Telepathy? (+1)
More powerful than Soundwave's? (+2)
Teleportation? (+1)
More powerful than Skywarp's? (+2)
Super-speed? (+1)
Faster than Blurr's? (+2)
Unusually keen senses? (Sight, hearing, smell, etc.) (+1 for each)
Telekenesis? (+2)
"Magical" powers, often vaguely defined or whatever the situation calls for
(including magical healing of self or others)? (+2)
Time-travel under her own power? (+2)
Control of the weather or other natural elements? (+2)
The ability to communicate with animals? (+2)
Precognition or a "sixth sense" regarding imminent danger (including precognitive dreams or
visions)? (+2)
Any ability which no canon TF has ever been shown to have? (+3)
ALL of the above? (+100 points and kindly never write anything again)
No, thank god, I have *some* common sense. That sorta stuff really irritates the shit outta me.
A brilliant scientist and/or inventor? (+1)
"I got lucky on the ACTs...but I suck at tests normally, so I really don't think this applies..."
So brilliant that she effortlessly solves problems that Wheeljack, Ratchet, and/or Perceptor couldn't?
(+2)
“…I’d rather avoid the explosive one, thank you very much.”
“Percy tried to teach me at one point, and it didn’t go well…vocab and all that fun stuff…so no.”
Is she a phenomenally skilled martial artist? (+1)
*groan*
In Metallikato? (+2)
No, even though the mental image of Showtime yelling "Fools!" before every sentence is an amusing one.
In some hitherto-unknown Cybertronian martial art that you just made up? (+3)
“…Grappling is NOT an unknown thing…nor is it a martial art.”
“…”
Is she the only female ever to be trained in this art? (+1)
Good lord, how bad are the Sues that require questions like this?!
Is she an incredible sharpshooter? (+1)
“…yes…” (+1)
“So I’ve been told…I’m not that great, really…” (+1)
At any distance? (+1)
“Hey, even I have my limits.
“Ditto.”
With any weapon? (+1)
“Why would I want to use someone else’s piece when I’ve got a perfectly good rifle of my own?”
“I don’t like guns very much…so there’s no way I’d willingly handle one.”"What Showtime said..."
If you've made Tech Specs for her:
Are they all sevens and/or eights? (+1)
Nines and/or tens? (+2)
Higher than tens? (+5)
“…most of mine are sevens and eights…aside from a few of ‘em…”
True, but the question asks if they’re ALL sevens and/or eights…which your’s aren’t, nor are any of Showtime’s. Ophi doesn't even HAVE Tech Spechs, as she's HUMAN.
Does she have a beautiful singing voice? (+1)
Mandy and Latte have pointed out the reasons they could, but none of mine do, so there. Ophi doesn't sing unless it's along to the radio.
Does she play a musical instrument? (+1)
nope. none of 'em do.
Is it the flute? (+20)
Nope…
Is it the bagpipes? (-20)
Mandy took the joke I was gonna make.
Is she extremely fond of a particular Earth musical group, TV show, movie, etc.? (+1)
“Does classical music count?”I don’t think so…
That just happens to be YOUR favorite musical group, TV show, movie, etc.? (+2)
My music tastes are so varied, I don’t really HAVE a favorite….
Is she so obsessed with a particular rock band that she named herself after it? (+10) ;-)…WTF. Do people actually write this sorta stuff?!
