CHARACTER
Name: Blackarachnia
Canon: Transformers Beast Wars
Age: Cybertronian Adult
Timeline: Season 3, just after the episode 'The Proving Grounds'
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality:
Blackarachnia is the very essence of a femme fatale. She is sexy, dangerous, intelligent and not afraid to use her assets to get what she wants. Which has lead to a slight case of over confidence which tends to get her in trouble. However it's trouble she can usually weasel out of with fast talking and appealing to the practicality of the moron trying to scrap her. Usually the "moron" she has to out wit is the ever calculating Megatron or the sneaky and equally treacherous Tarantulas.
Of course that's just the surface of what she is. Blackarachnia has grown from when she was first brought online and with every experience has changed a little. At first, she was focused on gaining more power. With power comes control and more than anything Blackarachnia wanted to have some control over her own life and not have to listen to Megatron's orders. This drive crops up every time she goes behind the Predacon leader's back to try and implement her own plans to accomplish her goals. For instance, when she had the opportunity to gain control of a floating island that would have given her the power to destroy Megatron and rule both the Maximals and Predacons. She nearly succeeded. Her intelligence and ambition got her through the islands various traps, but once she got the power her over confidence and ego played a large part in her defeat, making her crawl back to Megatron.
The reason for her drive for control in the beginning was due in part that she simply hated the fact that someone is lording over her. Blackarachnia has been and always be a free spirit wanting to set her own rules in life. At first, this fueled her ambition to take over the Predacons and eventually take over the Maximals.
That drive suddenly switched gears to a more baser need when she realized just how much the Vok did not want them on the planet. Blackarachnia went from wanting to rule to simply wanting to do everything in her power to survive the oncoming destruction. This even led her to teaming up with Tarantulas, something she would regret later. Why? Because he turned Blackarachnia into his slave. She hated it with all of her spark. Now she had something she despised more than someone just having more power than her. Before, at least she had a choice to follow along or betray the orders she was given. Now? She didn't and she hated the fact that she was Tarantulas's puppet without even a sense of free will. The insidious spider controlled her every move with a thought and kept an even tighter leash on her than Megatron ever did.
Blackarachnia went to the extreme of nearly destroying herself and Tarantulas with a cracked energon cube just to get him to relinquish his control over her mind. Once he freed her, Blackarachnia felt relief and triumphant. This experience drove her to become more neutral when it came to the Beast Wars even though she remained on the Predacon side for the time being. It also drove her to plan ahead and try and figure out what Megatron was up to so she could make sure she could survive it. This lead to her keeping closer tabs on Megatron's personal affairs and eventually stealing from him just to get an idea of what he was up to. When she realized he was after the Ark, she became determined to find it first.
Getting her hands on that meant she could insure her independence. Megatron wouldn't be able to get in and neither would the Maximals. She would have some semblance of control in her life and hopefully a sense of security, something she severely lacked in her life at this point.
Of course, a certain derpy fuzor had to go and change things.
Silverbolt is Blackarachnia's kryptonite. He's sweet, noble, and confuses the hell out of the black widow. Blackarachnia was used to conniving two faced assholes who wouldn't look at her unless they wanted something or she made them look. Now she had a male that couldn't keep his eyes off of her, spouting poetry and comparing her to the planet Venus in the night sky. It threw her for a loop to say the least. It also sparked a sense of desire. For once, she didn't want to manipulate someone. She actually wanted to be around them and laugh with them. There was no backstabbing, there was just plain and simple attraction.
It scared the hell out of her. It wasn't something she was used to and for a Predacon, that could be dangerous. Silverbolt could easily be used against her if anyone made the connection. To survive as a Predacon, one had to be careful about everything. Especially their weaknesses or they could easily be destroyed or worse, used to control an individual. For them it was survival of the smartest and the fittest at all costs and its programmed into her very code to be guarded and vicious just so others don't take advantage of her.
So she tried to push the dumb mutt away, even shooting him once or twice. But the more he pursued her, the less she tried to push him away until finally she just accepted he was there to stay. Then it was simply making sure she was able to protect him. [Even though he was the one trying to protect her and not doing the best of jobs. She's had to save his aft more than once.]
It's because of Silverbolt that Blackarachnia changed sides. That and Megatron nearly succeeded in offlining her. Once she was with the Maximals, Blackarachnia started changing a little more. You could say they were starting to rub off on her, much to her annoyance. She started to try and do some good, even helping them by putting her technical and computer expertise to use for them. She even helped them try and restore the timeline when Megatron tried to change it. Though, that was for purely selfish reasons. No more Autobots meant no more Maximals which in turn meant SHE didn't exist anymore. Still. She did help.
But, as much as she started to change, she still remained the same. Blackarachnia was getting frustrated with how she was treated. Either she had two morons drooling over her or she had one threatening to scrap her every time she tried to do something. Her temper flared up and caused her to run off. Though, Silverbolt did eventually convince her to come back [With Optimus Primal's help]. After that, she started feeling a little more at home with the Maximals. At least here no one tried to scrap her at every turn, just threaten it and that she could handle.
Background: Blackarachnia's Story
Abilities: Is your character an accomplished carpenter? Can they shoot laser beams from their eyes or travel through time? If they possess any abilities, learned or otherwise, they need to go in this section.
As a cybertronian, it needs to be noted that Blackarachnia has two forms. A humanoid Robotic form that is very durable and surprisingly flexible and acrobatic. And a techno-organic form in the shape of a black widow spider. This form acts as protection from ambient energon radiation that the planet they crash landed on seems to have in abundance. It also provides access to well, doing what a spider can do. Climb walls, produce a form of webbing and cyber venom created by thermal energy. Things like that. Plus alternative food source when Engeron's not available.
As for other abilities, Blackarachnia is very good with technology and building things. She has been able to program and build various devices such as energy dampeners and even a small peddle submarine out of scraps and random technology lying around. On top of that, she has been shown to be able to hack even Megatron's highly encrypted files and is intelligent enough to know how to use the information to her advantage. Not to mention she's smart enough to out manuver and out wit two of the smartest Predacons in the show, Megatron and Tarantulas.
Blackarachnia can produce venom which is used to paralyze other cybertronians for a short period of time, allowing her a way to escape when she needs to and she has experience with weaponry. Her spider legs are machine guns and she carries another version of a gun with an attachment that allows her to administer her venom to her unwilling victims. [Just don't ask where she keeps it.]
Over all, she's intelligent, knows how to fight, be a spider, produce venom and is very, very good with technology. And has one hell of an attitude.

So, which one of you idiots is the one in charge? I'd like a word with you.
[Moments later a strange being with a very metallic black gold coloring and what looks like a spider theme appears on the network and she isn't happy in the slightest. Blackarachnia's black optics are glaring down at the small little watch in her claws. This thing was so slagging primitive that she was surprised it still worked!]
I don't appreciate being dragged away of my time in the RC chamber and put on a train to Primus knows where without my consent. So someone better have some answers or this widow is going to start causing problems until I get an answer.
[She shifts the device a little and everyone watching can catch a the brief sight of very large pincer like claws that are holding her watch and trees. Someone's out in the park by the looks of it and very high up.]
So start talking.
Prose Log Sample:
Where the slag was she!? This wasn't the Axalon or the Darksyde and she swore to Primus that if this was another one of lizard breath's tricks, she was going to go out of her way to scrap that overgrown skull head the next time she ran into him. But, first things first. Lets figure out where here was and if she could get back to the others. She bet that Silverbolt would do something stupid if he found her gone again and she really didn't feel like saving him... again. Not so soon after the last time anyway.
The first thing the she-spider noticed was.. this looked like some sort primitive transport hub. Beyond that was what could pass as housing though it looked a little cramped to her. Of course, she doubted they would have housing for someone like her in a slag heap like this. The walls were brick and looked like something Humans might build.
Hold on. She narrowed her optics a little as she looked past the train station entrance and studied the buildings more. Scrap. She pinched the bridge of her nose with her claw and groaned before glancing back inside the train station and spotting a poster. If this was some sort of time travel mishap again she was going to extinguish someone's spark. Blackarachnia moved to read the poster, even pick up a pamphlet and glanced over it.
Ruby City.
She was in some place called Ruby City and from the sounds of it she was trapped here for the time being. Well, at least that was a familiar scenario. Hopefully this place would be better equipped than primitive planet she was stranded on. With that in mind, she quickly switched over to her beast mode and took to the shadows. Time to see what was really in this place and whether or not there was something, anything, she could use to her advantage. Or, if she could spot other Predacons or Maximals. If any of the Maximals were here, they needed to regroup and if there were other Predacons, then it looked like she had a few playmates to vent her frustrations on at least..
As long as they weren't Tarantulas or Megatron. She didn't want to be stuck anywhere with either of them again. Once was enough.
