Name: Articum
Function: Arboreal and Land Scout, Keeper of the Peace
Faction: Maximal Survivor
Motto: Direction is more important than speed. We are so busy looking at our speedometers that we often forget about the pole thats right in front of us.
Beast Mode: Plumed Basilisk (not the legendary kind): i10.tinypic.com/6pg5fo2.jpg, i12.tinypic.com/8dx9nuw.jpg
Robot Mode: Articums armor is predominantly a lightish emerald green with black elbows, neck, etc. His basilisk head divides in half and become shoulder guards, revealing a similarly plumed head with yellow optics covered in soft spikes. The lizards body remains unchanged with the green plume still running down the length of Artys back, but the forearms and thighs telescope back into the upper limb and are replaced by robotic appendages.
Abilities:
Tracking
Strong swimmer
Well versed in survival skills
Runs on water XD
Weapons:
Claws, teeth (Beast Mode)
Whip (Handheld)
Blaster x 2
Personality: Contrary to the mythological basilisk, Articum is an overall nice guy hes a good team player and has a knack of getting along with a variety of bots thanks to his easy going personality and wry sense of humour. Hed rather trade diplomatic words than blows (often giving him a default peacekeeping role smack bang in the middle of two rowdy team members) but if someone steps way out of line hes certainly not adverse to dishing out a solid whap upside the head. Although Artys built for an insane kind of speed (like running over water) one thing that separates him from his speed-junkie counterparts is that he knows when to slow down. Generally. Actually, he kinda likes being slow almost as much as he likes being fast, which is both a healthy and extremely odd balance. Full of other sage advice of the like some might say that Articum has an old head on his young shoulders, but really the guy's a bit of a joker and just wants to have some fun.
History: Articums first love is adventure; he joined an exploration crew as soon as he thought he was able (thanks to a hacker friend and a few altered dates on documents) and has been hooked ever since, bouncing around from planet to planet like a pinball and running flat-out around in circles on their surface finding new stuffs. All good fun. However, when it comes to how hes ended up on Alloyon well, his spectacular crash has created a few gaping holes in his memory banks he remembers Cybertron but not the city where he grew up, and his various missions but not much about the planets on which hes been. Basically his memorys like Swiss cheese; hes still got large chunks left but theres hundreds of little holes where the vital details are supposed to be. Which means that he knows hes a Maximal but not what they are, and he knows that he crashed but not how that happened and it may stay that way for a long time yet.
