Firstly this is not intended to be show stealing and I hope that in no way it comes to that. Secondly, I don’t know if this is the right place for this thread.
I have a small conundrum, when I first applied for Waspinator, I though he’s be rather easy to play but I find my every spare moment is being spent thinking about his allegiance. I’m not complaining, I find myself enjoying it. If I’m not daydreaming about one thing then it’s another. I believe part of the issue for me is my own inability to disassociate my own morals from Waspinator’s, as I am at the moment, I could not rp a character like Blackarachnia or Oilslick (As seen in ‘One flew over the Seekers nest’). I personally could not ally myself with someone who has done some of the things some Decepticons have and I find it hard to pretend that Waspinator could. Currently he doesn’t know the truth so all is well. Were he to learn the truth however, he would definitely question his current faction.
Now Waspinator is not a noble and heroic character (and neither was Wasp), he tends to be a little shallow and a mild bully, however, he is no tyrant, blood thirsty maniac, power hungry warmonger, or devious manipulator. He can quite easily swing either way with the right circumstances. He is the sort who will strongly resent any overt attempt to control him (any attempts he doesn’t notice are all good), controlling him through fear wont work for long, he values his personal freedom too much and promises of power and wealth will only hold so much sway, basically, he could quite easily be swung to the good side, but unless something happens, there is every chance it will never happen, and Waspinator might come to enjoy being thoroughly bad.
So I put to anyone interested, any suggestions?
Is there like a chance Waspinator will find out exactly how vile some ‘cons can be? Does any one want to reveal or show him?
Is anyone thinking about applying for Animated Shockwave? (because the revelation that Longarm Prime was a ‘con all along will send him packing)
IF Waspinator does become an Autobot, would anyone be willing to mentor him and teach better morals and ethics? (just an ongoing radio convo would be fine)
Would anyone be willing to actually attempt to bring Waspy to the Light side? Maybe someone like Dinobot who has seen the way and made his choice.
If I decide to stay ‘con the I see no great need to RP anything in particular but would look into the idea of him learning to enjoy being bad. I see great RP potential in Waspy becoming one of the good guys but on the flipside I see Canon and the chance for me to stretch my self and learn to play a badguy (or someone who sides with them).
