William Lennox

Status: Human/Autobot Ally

Gender: Male

Age: Early- to Mid-30s.

Height: 6'3"

Build: Medium, and damn fit. Chasing after robots (good or bad) will do that to you.

Hair color: Brown, cropped short.

Eye color: Blue

Guardian: Ironhide

Personality: Off-duty, Will has a very dry sense of humor and a decent amount of common sense. He was just an army guy trying to finish his tour and get himself home; unfortunately he hasn't been off-duty, so to speak, since Blackout first attacked the SOCCENT base.

Whether as an Army Ranger officer or as co-leader of NEST, he keeps the well-being of his troops (both human and non) his priority, second only to the safety of the planet he calls home. He's calm and polite, appearing level-headed even when he's not, but he also has no problem getting in someone's face if push comes to shove and that's the only way to get the job done.

Like most of the best officers, he knows when to use the carrot and when to wave the stick. The sheer amount of weird he's found has not destroyed that wry, occasional humor, just thinned it a little, and fortunately most of the common sense and gut instinct remain: when you're dealing with aliens that can look like any damn machine on the planet, they're about the best weapons you're going to get.

Mother/Father: Anthony (Army, ret.) and Sofia Lennox. He's married to Sarah Lennox and has one daughter, Annabelle.

History:

Born to a military family in MT, Will actually wanted to follow in his dad's footsteps from the moment he was old enough to know what the military was. He went to public school, ran away for a little while to have a hot tryst with college, but it could have never worked out, and he returned to his true love, enlisting. He went through standard training and some official business all over the globe, picking up his special training as he went and eventually going to the Ranger training in GA and FL, passing with flying colors. Which is how he ended up in command of a mixed Army/Airborne unit in SOCCENT when Megatron's big angry bulldog showed up.

Apparently deciding that his sheer penchant for common sense and just plain out-surviving three killer robots (Scorponok, Blackout and Brawl), the powers that be made him leader of the human side of NEST, the combined Para-military force that deals with Deception incursions planet-side; as such, he answers directly to Gen. Morshower, and through him (presumably) to the SecDef and the President himself. He's been busy as hell since trying to convince the goddamned pencil-pushers and bean counters that a lot less lives would be lost if they would give him and his men BETTER FRAGGING WEAPONS. And kicking Deceptibutt here, there and everywhere.

Special: As co-leader of NEST, Will has access to a tremendous amount of both manpower and firepower. He's also learned his lesson, and is never caught without a personal sidearm (carrying a smaller, experimental version of SLAP ammunition which he's trying to press as the NEST standard) and a FREAKING CELL PHONE.

Maggie Madsen

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Height: 5'8

Build: Slender, mildly athletic, lithe.

Looks: Large blue/gray eyes, long wavy blonde hair, light tan. Is a looker and is known to subtly flaunt it.


Personality: Charming, bright and is very smart underneath all that blonde hair. Also lacking tact. When Maggie's right and knows it, she is not afraid to let anyone know, superiors included.

Mother/Father: Pamela Madsen (52) / Alton Madsen (49)

History:

Maggie started life in Barossa Valley in Australia, which is wine country, a hint to her parent's livelihood. She, however, was never interested in grapes or dirt, all of which was abundant there. As her family scratched by with a modest income, she turned to amateur modeling to get her through college. Not surprisingly she went far and fast with her looks and smarts, moving to the United States to continue her schooling.

Out of college she was hired by the NSA (National Security Agency) and did a remarkable job…..until she was fired. Turns out rewriting her supervisor's report "the correct way" was frowned upon.

Second time was the definitely the charm. Luckily for her (and not to say, the world) giant, alien robots arrived to Earth and Keller didn't care about her job history, he cared more about her skills.

After the events in the Hoover Dam, Maggie and her friend Glen were released with very stern warnings to keep their mouths shut and they'd stay out of prison.

This they could do. She had no trouble finding a new job for the RAND association (Research and Development) in California. And the giant robots were out of her life for good…or so she thought.

History on Sam

In 2007, Sam was a social outcast who unintentionally bought Bumblebee as his first car. Sam was at first unaware of his car being a Transformer, despite the fact that Bumblebee was responsible for helping Sam to (somewhat) get close to his crush, Mikaela Banes.

The first night, however, Bumblebee left the house, which caused Sam to follow believing his car had been stolen. Later that night he became horrified to find that his car became a robot.

After being saved from the Decepticon Barricade by Bumblebee, Sam learned the full story as he helped the Autobots by keeping the AllSpark away from the Decepticons until he used it to kill Megatron.

In 2009, Sam was going to college and was trying to have a normal life and get away from the world savior status. But while getting ready, Sam found a sliver of the Allspark on the jacket he wore at Mission City, which give him visions similar to his great grandfather, causing him to suffer a mental breakdown as a result.

Optimus turned to him for help in convincing the human government to allow the Autobots to stay. Sam refused, saying he wanted a normal life and Optimus didn't need him anymore to which Optimus replied that they needed Sam more than he knew.

One of the girls in Sam's dorm who apparently liked him, Alice, turned out to be a Decepticon who attacked him. Sam was saved by Mikaela, who killed Alice. Sam was then later abducted by Decepticons to acquire the information in Sam's mind before Megatron could vent out his aggression on the boy.

But after being saved by Optimus, who was killed during the fight, Sam ended up leading Mikaela, Bumblebee, his roommate Leo, the Twins: Skids and Mudflap, and Simmons in a quest to find the Matrix and use it to revive Optimus.

During the final battle, Sam was killed by Megatron until he was revived by the 'Dynasty of Primes' so he could resurrect Optimus, allowing him to kill The Fallen and save the Earth. With Earth saved once more, Sam finally admited he loved Mikaela.

On an aircraft carrier later, he and Optimus thanked each other, Optimus thanking Sam for saving his life and Sam for Optimus believing in him.

Name: Mikaela Banes

Age:19 years old

Gender: Female

Height: 5’10”

Build: Slim, well toned and fit - running from Decepticons will do that to you.

Looks: below shoulder length brunette hair, with crystal clear blue eyes. Hispanic looking, from her mother’s side.

History:

In 2007, Mikaela was initially the girlfriend of football player Trent DeMarco; however, she soon ditched him because of his snobbish attitude and how he treated her like a trophy wife.

Sam offered her a ride home as he had a crush on her and Mikaela accepted Sam's offer, and she inspected Sam's broken-down 1976 Chevrolet Camaro (actually Bumblebee) in an empty lovers lane. Mikaela was astonished at the various modifications present in the engine bay. During this, Sam was excited as she was wearing a sleeveless midriff top, a short denim skirt and was gleaming from perspiration.

She also surprised Sam with her knowledge about cars which he found more attractive than the popular shallow girl she acted like around others. She kept her intelligence about engines a secret because, "Guys don't like it when you know more about cars than they do."

Mikaela criticized the poor conditions of Bumblebee's vehicle mode, causing him to scan a passing 2007 Camaro and transform into the same model. She fought in the Battle of Mission City, initially pulling the seriously injured Bumblebee out of battle, then returned to it with him out of guilt and worry for her friends.

With her help, Bumblebee rejoined the battle supported by a tow truck, and destroyed Brawl. After the battle, she and Sam began dating.

Mikaela returns in 2009, carrying on a long-distance relationship with Sam. As he went off to college, Sam entrusted her with a fragment of the Allspark, which he found in the jacket he was wearing when he killed Megatron. Mikaela hid the fragment in a safe at her father's motorcycle repair shop, but she was followed by the Decepticon spy Wheelie, who was intent on recovering the fragment.

She caught the spy and interrogated him. After going to inform Sam, Mikaela saved him from the Decepticon Pretender Alice (whom she killed and also found kissing Sam), only to be captured by Grindor and taken to the recently repaired Megatron. Rescued by Optimus Prime, Mikaela and everyone escaped, and on the recommendation of Sam's roommate, they sought help from a man who ran a robot conspiracy website.

He was later revealed to be Agent Simmons. Simmons and Wheelie led them to Jetfire, who used a Space Bridge to transport the group to Egypt, where the Autobots and their allies battled the Decepticons and The Fallen. She was devastated when Sam apparently died, but was ecstatic when he was revived and finally told her he loved her. She survived the battle and returned home.

She is currently training to be an Autobot Medic/Mechanic under the tutorage of CMO Ratchet, so that her knowledge of fixing vehicles will be made the most of and not squandered. When she has some spare time she goes home to work with her dad at his garage, thus making sure he is still being legit.

Name: Riley Kiina Haile - Nicknamed 'Hailstorm'
(Middle name is pronounced Keena)

Gender: Female

Height: 6 ft

Build: (light, medium, heavy) Medium Build, Athletic and supple.

Hair color: Raven black hair, mid-back, usually tied back in a braid and pinned under her hat when in uniform.

He died a little while later from severe internal injuries. She was the only survivor. She was sent to live with her aunt, uncle and their daughter after the accident.

Guardian: Autobot Sunstar

History:

(should include place of birth, schooling, etc)

Was born in Michigan, in a little area called Rapid River, a small Town north of Escanaba, going to Rapid River Area Schools in Escanaba up until when she was twelve in the Upper Penninsular (yes she is what they term a 'Upper' - pronounced 'Ewper') .

Was your typical B+ grade student at Rapid River High School (on US Highway 2 in the Upper Penninsular) and aced her exams with enough points to get into college by working hard like her parents would have wanted her to do.

She graduated from college as one of the best, loved Chemistry - the blowing things up part. Made a few friends, dated a few guys until she saw the notice. The National Guard was looking for recruits and she just so happened to see the notice on the bulletin board. She signed up immediately. She was looking for adventure in her life and joining the National Guard was the perfect way to get some.

She trained as an Army Sniper for two years before being sent to Iraq. After doing her 10 year stint honing her skills (and is one of the best they have for a female) she left the full time Military and joined the Reserves. She has been posted at Camp Grayling Army National Guard Base with the rank of Captain (worked long and hard for the right) and now spends most of her time with rookies over there, teaching them how to handle weapons.

Riley is cleared on M-16 Rifle, M-4 Carbine, MP-5 Submachine-gun, M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon, Mk-23 Automatic and her favorite the M-24 SWS. The M-24 SWS also known as the Sniper Weapons System is a bolt-action 7.62 mm rifle and is issued to specialist snipers in Special Forces and throughout the Army.

To constantly and precisely hit a target two hundred yards beyond the Leupold 10X telescopic sight’s optimal range usually takes months - even years - of practice (she grew up shooting guns, since she hunted deer growing up on her grandparents farm).

When at home she loves to go out and shoot her Remington 870 20 Gauge Shotgun. She is an avid hunter during Deer season, hunting in the Hiawatha National Forest, Crystal Falls State Forest Area, and the Ottowa National Forest and has bagged her share of 6 to 8 point Bucks throughout her time, and even keeps the venison in the freezer for later on in the winter months.

Owns a pendant consisting of a silver Dragon’s Claw holding a clear crystal ball on a thick silver chain - a present from her father for when she turned 16 (coming of age type of thing) that was presented to her by her Uncle in his place.

Usually kept hidden beneath her uniform it has become her good luck charm of sorts, (since when she went on missions that were deemed too dangerous and little chance of survival, she always came back alive, with few injuries - mostly scrapes, only one had her laid up for a while - a shot through her left shoulder.)

::Name:: Abbey Rachel Dawn (('Bambi'))
::Age:: Looks 20
::Race:: Vampire

::Appearance:: Abbey has light, fluffy blonde hair that hangs down her back in loose curls. She had icy blue eyes and dark lashes. She looks a bit like a deer, and judging by her personality she is appropriatley called 'Bambi'. She is pale as a ghost despite living in California for most of her life, hiding the fact that she is a Vampire. Abbey is rather beautiful, but not quite ready for being called 'gorgeous'.

::Personality:: Abbey is normally care-free and light; understandable since she is a vampire. She can be outgoing, she can be serious and dark. She's rather unpredicatble, and has an explosive temper. Abbey likes to be focused on, enjoying attention. She is somewhat big-headed, immediatley taking offense to being called 'big-headed'. She is rather arrogant and cocky at times, but is lovable all the same. She can be an ass to some while being the best friend in the world to others. It depends if you manage to step on her one nerve.

::History:: Bambi was born in Germany, seventeen years before WWII began. She was raised in a small town called Zweedorf; home-schooled and born to a wealthy couple. She was known for her beauty and her singing voice, one of the ones that would've qualified to be a member of Hitler's 'perfect' race. When seventeen, World War II began. During the great war she was taken to Italy by her parents, despite the fact that it really didn't help.

From Germany to Italy, Bambi was torn apart from friends and family. She was soon affected by Pancreatic Cancer, although they didn't know about it at the time. It was during her battle with this fatal cancer that she was transformed into a Vampire; frozen forever at seventeen. Leaving Italy, she joined the German forces in the war. She was trained breifly, becoming known as 'indestrucible'. This wasn't the smartest thing she ever did, but it did help her with her military training.

Bambi sticks mainly to the Air Force, enjoying the sensation of flying. She knows that in the air you have to be number one. Flying is a challenge and rather fun, the fact that she has to be number one in the air sticking with her. She joined the forces of the Autobots after becoming entirely fascinated, enjoying the fact that she would be alive to see what will happen in the future.

Guardian: Doesn’t have one

History:

Zaccheus Liam Jaxon was born in Sidney, Australia. He is a cousin of Riley, who is a member of NEST. The boy was raised in Australia, having nothing to do with NEST until he was around twenty years old. He and his father went on a surprise visit to Diego Garcia, in hopes that Riley would be there. They found much more than just their cousin.

It was then that Zac became interested in the whole NEST business. Giant robots were awesome, and NEST seemed to be a little military type operation. Not only did it involve cars, but explosives, too! Not to mention guns… His dad left back to Australia, whereas Zac tried to find out more about NEST and contemplated joining. It would be worth it, and it may actually to turn out to be a little fun.

Zac discovered that he had a hand at fixing normal cars, so he has a part-time job as a mechanic in the states. When there, he enjoys watching football and charming ladies with his adorable accent. He is frequently seen around base, however, and gets annoyed when he is pranked. He loves getting revenge on the ones who prank him. He thinks of many good pranks.... he hopes to get into a prank war someday.


Enjoy his High School Photo!
