Character Name: Orion Pax (Optimus Prime) "OP" Canon: Transformers Prime Character Blurb: Orion Pax was historical archivist working in the Iacon Hall of Records. Concerned with the growing corruption in Cybertronian society, he wound up befriending gladiator and activist(?) Megatronus and working with him to try and oust the many injustices happening. His strong sense of justice, compassion, and inspirational nature lead to him being granted the Matrix of Leadership. At this point Megatronus decided Optimus was a traitor to their cause and formed the Decepticons to bring down Cybetronian society through violence. This led to the Cybertronian Civil War, and I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there.
Orion is quiet, studious, kind, and far too generous with second chances. and third chances. and thousandth chances. He can also be overly serious and hyperfocused on goals/objectives, and holds himself and others to high standards.
Everything from here is TBD, assume everything has a (?) following it because I am not really set on anything yet
Code Name: Nova Prime idk Domain: idk this either Combat Type: Attack, probably?
Awakening: At the moment I am thinking a dream/vision of his past life's dying wish following an ideological falling out/very messy public breakup with his now ex-boyfriend.
Present Life: Grad student or recent grad specializing in history and society and entrenched in academia. In addition to his studies, Orion works as a librarian/teaching assistant/tutor/similar occupation that would have him in the general proximity of other characters while also being a huge nerd. Shares an apartment in one of the more historic areas of the city with his ill-tempered best friend who is in med school.
Past Life: A noble hailing from a Lesser Constellation in proximity of the capital and leader of their region's militia, on track to join the Elite Guard. The arrival of the Abyss and subsequent war for the planet interrupted those plans.
Thought #1: Following the exodus from Hassaleh, Orion's past life was one of the first to adapt to the changing social order and became an advocate for integration between the classes. He came to be seen as a leader and protector amongst the crew and community of the Nashira. His dying wish was that their people could find a place where they would be free of the suffering brought on by the Abyss.
Thought #2: After boarding the Nashira, Orion's past life was involved in an incident of notable significance where one of his peers and a fellow noble was killed. While blameless in the accident, he took responsibility upon himself and as a result was stripped of his rank and delegated to a maintenance crew. His dying wish was that he could have lived up to his potential to be the person their people needed him to be.
In-Game Plans: At the moment just seeing how Orion integrates with the rest of the cast.
Pre-Established CR Hooks: Anything related to his academic life (classmate, professor, etc.) or his work as a librarian/TA. He's the kind of person you would "know" but have never talked to: the guy you see every day on your commute, the guy who always sits in the same spot at the library, the guy who is in a bunch of your classes but always on the other side of the room, etc. I'm open to hashing stuff out here.
Desired CR/Hooks: I am open to any and all CR always- positive, negative, you name it! A good first direction may be someone who can drag him out of his shell and actually interact with people instead of immediately going home to study.
