Lycosidae

--------------------------------------------

PERSONALITY

Lycosidae is shy and withdrawn when she first meets a stranger. She barely talks, but only to those who have her full trust. She does better listening, which is the reason she is probably a better spy than she is anything else. She is introverted, and has anxiety issues. Despite this, once someone gains her trust, she becomes loyal and will always watch over the backs of those she considers her friends. Lycosidae mostly obeys authority and has great respect for superiors who have gained her trust. Her anxiety issues cause her to be mildly paranoid and terrible under pressure. Sometimes her anxiety will get so bad, she will refuse to recharge for days. The former Decepticon also spooks at loud noises, is afraid of water, and has been known to scramble up something high up when spooked, usually by loud noises.

She is not without any personality, and beneath that anxious, skittish, and shy exterior lies a bright personality. She loves to joke and laugh, and will even begin to play with someone who has gained her trust. Her favorite prank is to hang from the ceiling and drop down next to someone as the pass by. She often calls it practicing her drop-kills. Very rarely will she actually drop on top of someone. She is not without intelligence. She is not a total genius, but she is of average intelligence. Lycosidae is not likely to figure out a complex scientific formula, but she still can be clever and set up traps and ambushes for her targets. She does not mind the humans, as her kind are caretakers and maternal by nature. While she still has some immaturity to fulfill such a role, she will still watch over any humans in their care and gladly help look after them.




Weaponry: Lycosidae's weapons include a venomous bite and webbing. The webbing is strong enough to hold her weight, and could probably be used as a bungee cord for Optimus Prime should he end up falling off of a cliff. The venom serves as a tranquilizer, causing Cybertornians that are bitten to simply feel fatigued. The effectiveness depends on how much venom is injected and the size of the Cybertronian. Someone like Megatron will need to be bitten several times before he goes down, while someone like Bumblebee may only need to be bitten once. It does not affect organic creatures, only other Cybertronians. She rarely uses the webbing but only when she absolutely has to. She has a dagger strapped to her. She also has a type of sniper rifle to strike targets from far away and to scope out her 'prey'.

Strengths: Her energy and speed are her biggest skills. She can run very fast and dart from point a to point z in a quick time. She can also climb walls for sneak attacks. Hunting skills allow her to move the way a wolf spider does. She can use her webbing for all sorts of things. She is agile which allows her to twist and turn and get out of tight situations. Just when someone thinks they have caught her, she may just find a way to escape. That said, she is very good at hiding, knowing how to try to make herself disappear if needed. When 'on the job' she becomes almost a completely different person. The confidence rises up in her and her steps go straight into being quiet and steady. This is because her 'work' is her 'natural habitat' and she feels more comfortable spying.

Weaknesses: Aside from the natural weapons and the gun and dagger, Lycosidae is quite defenseless. She can be trapped like a spider in a glass if someone knows how to go about it. She is also flighty and skittish, preferring to really run away from trouble. Another problem is she is unsure of herself, and does horribly under pressure situations. She is not fit for very high-stress situations and is poor at making split-second decisions, for example, in a fire-fight where many split-second decisions need to be made. While she can bite and release venom, she has to get very close to her target in order to do so which can be dangerous. It is difficult to hide in a place like Earth, and sometimes she can do it when things are just right, but most of the time, it is impossible.



It is unknown how Lycosidae managed to end up working under Megatron or under the Decepticons. She just knows she was always specialized in stealth, tracking Autobot movement and most likely infiltrated a few bases early on in the war. She was confident in her skills and good at what she did. Well, save for the time she fell into a strange liquid on Cybertron and was attacked by some strange creature, she never saw it, she was too busy running but it left her with a fear of most liquids, including water. It The reason she left was not because of differing ideals, but because of the same old story of love and betrayal.
 
He was a scientist of sorts, but lesser known, a Drone actually and often worked under Shockwave. The Drone was interested in her first, and often she rejected his attempts but eventually gave in and the two became a pair that actually helped production of projects and the like. Lycosidae and the Drone were madly in love. He would dote on her, and her on him, and they fed off of each other on the battle field, working as a team to give hell to those who stood in their way.

Soon, it all went wrong when he became suddenly secretive. He would refuse to see her and seemed to disappear more and more with the Commanders. When she would question him, then he would become angry and refuse to speak to her. It was then she slipped into a lab he was using and pulled up information on a PC that he had been using. Before she could get a good look at the data, he grabbed her, slammed her against a wall and became angry with her. She bit him, ran a pole through his abdomen to pin him against the wall, wrecked the entire room, and fled the Nemesis. She knew she could not stay there, since she would most likely be declared a traitor. Lycosidae has been wandering alone ever since but desires companionship among her kind.

Lycosidae was almost left behind on the ruins of Cybertron. She managed to slip on to a ship heading away from the barren planet. The spider-like Cybertronian ended up on Earth after a very long journey and made contact with the Autobots in hopes of joining them, having had a lot of time to re-think her own views.
