💀 Character Information
Name:
Deadlock
Canon: Transformers IDW
Canon Point:He's met with Lockdown and Braid outside of new Crystal City, determined (maybe) on betraying the city to Braid and his creepy alien vivisectionist friends, because screw THOSE guys for saving his life!
Age: 5 million years, acts about 6.
Description:Robot. Sized down in his bipedal mode, Deadlock looks 50% like the kind of mech you'd expect to survive wars fighting for Decepticons--banged up, armored up, and not-real-pretty. But the other 50%, new repairs from Crystal City, are shiny and sexy! His alt mode is a small, fast hovercar, because tires are for losers.
Physical changes: Sizing down so he can fit in buildings, please? He will really HATE being only a little bit taller than squishy humans.
Powers:
* Transforming to his alt-mode. You jealous? Of course you are. He's a sexy hovercar. Capacity: two human-sized things, if they get cozy. Like a Karmann Ghia.
* Being one of Megatron's favorite lieutenants (who else gets a bounty hunter sent to bring them home safe?), and getting in on the ground floor of the war, AND having his 'gift of violence', Deadlock becomes really good at battle tactics and general fighting--armed and unarmed. It's his chief mode of problem-solving!
* Deadlock's a freaky good marksman. It's just his thing. It's like the only thing he's good at (other than headbutts--he gives GREAT headbutts). But his guns malfunction: water pistols or glitter guns or t-shirt guns or whatever would be the most embarrassing. OH, if he's not allowed to have his guns (they're integrated into his body), then, well, his first task will be to get him some guns, and then, see the beginning of this paragraph. Your choice!
History: here's the wiki, and here are some fun-fun bullet point style highlights:
Deadlock begins as Drift, the loser mech in the gutters, and eventually will become Drift again, because of the power of Angst and Pseudo-Japanese culture. However, he doesn't get that chance here, because SURPRISE he's dead. Sucks to be him, but at least he's spared having the sexiest thighs in the Transformers canon?
Major events:
* Living in Rodion's Dead End. This is where the poorest of the poor live (if you can call it 'living'), where they had to steal to survive. Life sucked, and Deadlock (known as Drift then, too) barely survived murderers and syphoners and general mayhem and did drugs to try to escape.
* Gasket's death. Gasket was his only true friend in the Dead End, a charismatic mech who gathered together a bunch of the ruffians, so they had a better chance to survive and be safe. Gasket gets accidentally killed during a run in with Security Forces, and Deadlock (still known as Drift) snatches up a gun, killing all of the lawmechs. This is his 'gift of violence', but it's not a great gift. His grief and regret over losing his only friend plunges him deeply into despair, as well as a criminal underworld (he's become a very Wanted mech at this point!), so he uses the money he makes in his underworld jobs to buy circuit boosters--a heavy drug.
* Badaft Training, stage one: since the cops are after him for, you know, that whole 'killing cops' thing he did when Gasket was killed, Deadlock has to go even further underground, where his 'gift of violence' gets honed. He works as a bodyguard, enforcer, hired thug: that general Venn Diagram of the 'not smart but violent' type. He got to see firsthand how corrupt the rich and powerful truly are up close and personal.
* Recruitment by Megatron. He went to see this gladiator/rebel speak, and he was called up personally by Megatron himself, and asked if he'd join the Decepticon cause of overthrowing the corrupt regime and making everyone free, everyone safe. He eagerly joined, and accepted his awesome new name (Deadlock), and devoted himself 100% to the Decepticon cause, becoming one of Megatron's most ruthless fighters. MOAR training, and now his violence has an aim: to destroy this world, to build a better one where mechs won't have to suffer living lives like he did in Rodion.
* Theophany. His boss, Turmoil, and he had some, uh, personality conflicts and disagreements on leadership style. Ironically, Turmoil was upset that Deadlock disobeyed his orders and killed one of his own mechs, and his solution was...to try to kill Deadlock. Because Decepticons hate consistency. Deadlock does not accept this critique and fights his way off an entire Decepticon warship, the escape pod he commandeers lands on Theophany, where he meets (in a manner of speaking) Wing and the Circle of Light.
* Planning Escape. Dai Atlas, the leader of the Knights, insists Deadlock is too dangerous to be allowed to be around other Crystal City mechs, so he's stuck with Wing as a semi-jailer. Wing bets Deadlock (going by Drift) that if this big tough Decepticon warrior can beat him, unarmed, he'll let him go. Deadlock never beats him, and so he has to wait, till he hears an incoming encrypted transmission, before he has hopes of escape.
* Sneaky sneak time: The encrypted message was from Lockdown, and Deadlock sneaks out of Crystal City to make the meeting, where he hears that Lockdown's worked a deal with Braid and the alien slavers, that he can get Deadlock and bring him back to Megatron, and Braid will get all the Crystal City mechs as subjects for his creepy evil science slave experiments.
Hell Status: Hell Newbie
What Brings Them To Hell: General evil? Deadlock has no illusions that he's a good mech. Even in the gutters, he figured he was worthless and no-good. When Megatron gave him a purpose, he figured his violence and bad deeds would at least serve a purpose: to destroy. His life has always sucked: it's no surprise to him that the afterlife sucks, too.
The Pitch:
Clearly, your life, or at least your Hell, is incomplete without Deadlock. Poorly-educated, violent, and arrogant is just a combination Hell has been clamoring for (that's what that noise was!). Emo and angst are not in his vocabulary: he is a mech of ACTION!!! so if anything pushes him toward any sort of self-reflection or contemplation, he will promptly respond by throwing things. Or vandalism. It's safe to say his 'coping skills' tool chest was emptied out and refilled with hand grenades a long time ago.
That's not to say that Deadlock is a one-note character. He's got depths, dark, creepy, probably spider-filled depths. How do we know this? Because that's where he keeps this teensy weensy little spark of (gag) goodness in him. Every time he'd ever tried to be 'nice', it's gone bad. Real bad. Like 'best friend dies and you end up on the run' bad. So he tries to keep that goodness deep.
He has a moral code that makes sense to...him. Having once been small and weak and victimized himself, he has no respect for small, weak things, but he won't hurt them. He figures their lives probably suck bad enough without a garnish of Deadlock. Rich and powerful people? ALL JERKS and most likely corrupt. Anyone with more education or skills than his? Obviously privileged and evil. He'll show 'em.
Setting Fit: Deadlock would pretty much shrug at being sentenced to Hell, honestly. He's a bad mech and he knows it. In his mind, though, his own personal badness is for a greater good: at least it served a good purpose!
He's a true believer in Megatron's ideology: life is unfair and the only way to make it fair is to fight EVERYONE. It's not a surprise to him at all, that since his life sucked his afterlife would suck, too.
In game, Deadlock would gift as many people as possible with his own brand of snark and sarcasm (snarkasm) which HE thinks is hilarious, but...probably isn't. He'd probably also engage in stupid competitions just to prove how little he cares about being sentenced to hell.
His biggest issue would be...all...these...squishies! Deadlock considers them to be lesser forms of life, because they are so fragile and smushy and die so fast and easily. It's insulting! Can't he end up in a Hell with his own kind? /snob
If he had to get an, ugh, JOB, he'd try to get the kind of work he had back on Cybertron: hired muscle/asssassin. Look at the scowl on this face: he's a natural!
Samples: Deadlock tries out his reaping skills (not canon)
Here's a non-game sample of him being his usual awesomely badaft self.
