WINDRAKER

Profile:

Windraker is a cone headed Seeker who is extraordinarily slow to think. It was not always that way. He trained as a sniper and assassin at the Cybertron War Academy. He graduated the academy with an average overall grade. He passed with high standing as a Sniper with potential for being deadly. He is an obsessively depressive fatalist.

Windraker flew on an assassination mission to a distant Autobot world. He, along with his leader and two others, was shot down. It was presumed that the leader, as well as his wing mates, was killed and he was the only survivor. His memory of the events before and after his capture remain very hazy. He had suffered severe brain damage when he crashed into a building. He was rescued by a Decepticon force after spending several hundred years in captivity.

Windraker is not very cruel as a Decepticon. He does not see it as a benefit to the job and does his best to get it done. He does not show his quarry compassion and mercy. However he does not go out of his way to make them uncomfortable either.

Abilities:

Sniper: Windraker prefers to use a hand-held laser-sighted rifle that can shoot up to ten km with keen accuracy. He has the ability to accurately compensate for wind velocity that would shift his projectiles course.

He has an ability to instantly forget atrocities he has done. His mind is clear of guilt and the feeling of any wrongdoing. This ability to forget also has the benefit of reassurance to the Decepticons if he gets captured. No amount of torture will reveal what he was supposed to accomplish as he would have forgotten his mission utterly by that time. Windraker does not carry arm mounted rifles that are commonly used by other Seekers. He can fly at speeds up to mach 2.4 under stealth. His matt grey body absorbs most radar signals allowing him to sneak in very close undetected.

Weaknesses:

Windraker suffers long and short term memory loss. In other words permanent acute amnesia. Overall as a Decepticon this is a huge failing. He needs to have his orders either written down, if he does not forget where he placed it after he has it, or he needs to have a constant companion to keep him reminded of his missions.

Windraker is unable to function at all unsupervised, Whitespark, a white Seeker, has to be there to ensure his success.

Due to his handicap Windraker is very dense and has very low intelligence. He does not interact very comfortably with other Decepticons and they find it frustrating and aggravating that he is unable to remember anything. He tends to repeat things frequently, forgetting he has already told them one or more times before.

Windraker is often seen more as a tool than as a sentient thinking, feeling individual Decepticon.

He finds his memory problems very frustrating as he faintly remembers a time when he did not forget, when he had better use of his mental faculties. Those memories that come to him, he writes down in an attempt to rebuild his past hoping that one day he can live normally like other Decepticons.

Windraker sadly lives on in a blur of forgetfulness.

Description:

Windraker is a Decepticon pyramid Seeker, matt dark grey body, light grey wings and tail. His wings have red and white stripes. His dark, dull coloration helps with his ability to hide while working as a sniper.

He is cone headed like Dirge. His wings are positioned more like Starscream's: just behind the shoulder joint.
