[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Worthless-wreck-walking-pile-of-garbage AKA Wreck-Gar
SERIES: Transformers: Animated
CHRONOLOGY: Shortly after Wreck-Gar falls into the lake and gets stuck.
CLASS: Hero!
BACKGROUND:
Some various millions of years ago, there were two classes of Transformers on Cybertron: the scientific workers known as the Autobots, and the war machines constructed to protect the planet known as the Decepticons. All was well for awhile until the Decepticons became tired of their position of taking orders from the Autobots and decided to rebel. One individual in particular, known as Megatron, called himself a freedom fighter as he fought the Autobots, looking to defeat them and take over Cybertron for himself -- particularly, he sought out the all-powerful All-Spark, which is where all life of Transformers come from.
Eventually, the Decepticons lost the war due to two factors: (1) The All-Spark was thrown into a Space Bridge, making the All-Spark lost to everyone for a few million years, and (2) the construction of the colossal Omega Supreme, an Autobot constructed to destroy the Decepticons. The 'Cons were eventually cast out into space while the Autobots rebuilt on Cybertron.
As you can expect, the All-Spark did not remain lost. Some million years later, an unassuming repair crew led by a young Optimus Prime discovered the All-Spark. Quickly, they discovered that a group of Decepticons also found the location of it; the repair crew took the All-Spark and went on a daring mission to protect it, but it also meant that in the meantime, they ended up crash landing on planet Earth. In order to protect themselves, the Autobots went into stasis mode.
About fifty years later, the Autobots woke up and scanned Earth vehicles on the planet, and quickly became known as heroes on the city of Detroit, befriending a young human girl named Sari Sumdac in the meanwhile. Over the course of time, the Decepticons would rise up again, reconstructing themselves, their leader, and their attempts to both find the All-Spark and create a Space Bridge back to Cybertron. The former venture caused Optimus Prime to ultimately decide to shatter the All-Spark, causing shards to fly about everywhere. It was the only way, oddly enough, to protect the All-Spark.
This caused the creation of many Transformers, including Wreck-Gar; this Cybertronian -- also known as a Junkion due to being made out of trash -- was young and impressionable, unsure of his status in life. Venturing out naively into Detroit, Wreck-Gar explored the area in attempts to find out what he was supposed to be. At first, he was told he was a criminal's sidekick, so he tried that for awhile... until he decided that being a hero was better. So he tried to catch said criminal, but only ended up catching a canister of experimental all-devouring batch of nanites into his trash bin instead. Due to his impulsive action, an older Autobot medic named Ratchet shouted at Wreck-Gar harshly, telling him that he was only good for one thing: Garbage. Wreck-Gar took this rather... literally and decided he would spread the joys of garbage to all, running off and dumping his trash all over the city, up until he ran into the loyal follower of Megatron, Lugnut.
It was here that Lugnut thought that perhaps Wreck-Gar was a Decepticon, so the young Junkion put on a Decepticon brand, having no idea what it meant to be one, but by gosh he would try it. Eventually, the Autobots followed Wreck-Gar, knowing that he both carried the All-Spark fragment and the nanites, thus making Wreck-Gar a potential danger if he accidentally infused the All-Spark power into the nanites. Lugnut saw the Autobots and began to power up his powerful punch, but Wreck-Gar misunderstood his powered fist to be part of the universal greeting, thus touching the Decepticon's fist and causing a giant explosive crater. Angered, Lugnut flew into the sky. Wreck-Gar latched onto the Decepticon, accidentally spilling nanites onto him, which began to eat away into Lugnut. Thinking that he was helping the Decepticon, Wreck-Gar unscrewed Lugnut's tail, causing the 'Con to crash and Wreck-Gar to land into a scow of garbage.
Determined to deliver the garbage, Wreck-Gar caused the scow to go faster, pleased at the fact that he would be delivering the garbage as this was his purpose, clearly. However, due to the nanite spill on the scow, the super-powered nanites began to eat away at everything, including the scow. If it landed on shore, it would eat away at the entire city. Determined to stop him, Ratchet landed on the scow, and found that he needed to do one thing that would take every ounce of his power: apologize to Wreck-Gar for being so harsh on him before, assuring him that he could be whatever he wanted to be.
Wreck-Gar, inspired, decided he would be a hero. He took out a vacuum and began to suck up all of the nanites into his bin from the scow. This seemed to work, but then the nanites began to overpower Wreck-Gar, causing him to stumble and fall off the scow, but not before he could shout "thank you" to Ratchet. There was a brief blast of energy from the water, implying that Wreck-Gar's All-Spark fragment saved his life and kept him from being destroyed. Attempting to save the young Cybertronian, Ratchet used his magnets in the water... but only pulled up scrap metal.
Wreck-Gar was not dead, though, as he was just stuck in the mud on the bottom of the lake. For now!
PERSONALITY:
It's a bit of a mixed blessing, but Wreck-Gar is more or less a clean slate of a person. He is very young in mind and impressionable, taking things at face value and quite literally. You tell him that every Thursday that it rains milk, and every Thursday he will be out with milk jugs with a bright smile on his face. Mostly, it's the fact that Wreck-Gar is completely oblivious to the world due to his complete lack of experience and understanding in most practical matters. He has no problem grasping the idea of human culture due to the ways of the TV and the internet, but one could not say that it's a very educational scenario.
What defines Wreck-Gar the most is ironically his lack of definition and sense of identity; while he has determined that he is to be a hero, he is still learning what it means to be one and where his place is in the world. He's a very curious individual, willing to explore the possibilities and where he belongs. This means he's both great and terrible at taking orders: he can follow orders, but he follows the orders of almost anyone. He doesn't lack in morals, but he does lack common sense.
Despite all this, Wreck-Gar does have a heart of gold and an optimistic outlook on things. It's hard to keep him down, and his persistent inquisitive nature keeps him cheerful and occupied. This does, however, also mean he has no sense of self-hygiene. You know that kid who used to eat worms and bugs when they were five? Yyyyeah, that's Wreck-Gar, and he looks like a sixteen-year-old. He will get more than his hands dirty -- you'll be lucky if he's just covered in mud at the end of the day. Trash is his specialty, and you'd best get used to his junk-collecting habits.
All-in-all, Wreck-Gar is a good-natured kid, but he's a bit screwy.
POWER:
Energy Scissors - Based off of the toy release, Wreck-Gar is able to generate a pair of energy scissors on his wrists that are capable of cutting through most material. They look pretty goofy, but they're actually pretty sharp!
Trashy Physics - This one is a bit odd and is based more on the TV show; Wreck-Gar is capable of pulling out completely random junk from the trash bin on his back, items that are occasionally useful or just outright plain garbage. In the case of Cape and Cowl, this will be transferred to Wreck-Gar pulling random crap out from a greasy old-looking backpack he carries around. Sometimes the items he pulls out are useful, other times they can be completely inappropriate.
All-Spark Fragment - Inside of Wreck-Gar is untapped potential and the thing that granted him life -- a fragment of the All-Spark. While it's generally a macguffin, in this case I'm going to limit Wreck-Gar for now and keep the fragment's capabilities down to just randomly energizing equipment at convenient/inconvenient times. This means Wreck-Gar is a living battery for mechanical equipment.

COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
Bah-weep-gragnah-weep-nini-bong!
Do not fear, people of some city that I do not know that looks kinda like the Big Apple, for I am here to help! Because I am dramaticpause A HERO!
I am Wreck-Gar, and I will be here to do many hero things, like save your cats from trees, save your cats from dogs, save your cats from internet memes, grab some karma, and catch the bad guys!
So if I could just get started and you could point me in the right direction to catch some bad guys, that'd be really great.
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
The first thing that Wreck-Gar notices when he stumbles out from the Porter is the fact that he's a lot shorter. After all, he's pretty sure that he used to be quite a bit taller than normal people. He blinks, raising his hand and putting it on the top of his own head.
That's even odder. He has hair now. And skin.
Oh. Oh this is new!
"I'm people!" he chirps pleasantly, grinning broadly at his own conclusion made.
This opens a door to many possibilities! Less accidentally stomping on things that should not be stomped, shaking normal people hands... plus, things like garbage will seem like a lot more, too. A lot of things are going to be different now.
Different can be good, and this certainly does not mean he can't be a hero. Besides, this is a lot better than being stuck on the bottom of some lake! He can actually talk to someone other than fish now.
"Have no fear, citizens!" Wreck-Gar shouts at the top of his lungs. Lungs. He never had lungs before! That's a new sensation, too. It feels different than shouting before.
A good different! He ought to shout more.
"I am yelling! It feels nice! AHHHH yelling AHHHHH this is pretty NEATO ISN'T IT? You all should shout more!"
Ignoring (or perhaps even oblivious to) the strange and generally annoyed looks delivered to him, Wreck-Gar smiles broadly before he starts to march down the street with purpose.
Heroic purpose.
FINAL NOTES:
The only thing to particularly note is that, obviously, Wreck-Gar is not arriving to the City as a robot, but rather as a pretty fleshy human. He'll look like a red-headed teenage smelly boy.
