How YOU doin'?

[namesnotprowl]

This is Jayde, back again with a new character (or rather an old character), and breaking the mold a bit because he isn't a silent video game protagonist. Instead, he's a snarky alien robot that finds you squishies marvelously entertaining. Especially when he chases you.

This is Barricade, that one cop car from that movie about those transforming robots. He's showing up after his stint in axiomnexus, which is basically what would happen if Sacrosanct was run by giant robots and covered in red tape. He's showing up with medical knowledge of most Cybertronians, regardless of reality (since all of them showed up in the Nexus), a useless comm bolt, and a new and improved face. Basically he went from this to this, but he still has four optics. And his holoform is semi-solid and looks like the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Oops?

ALSO, he is prone to making pop culture references. What does this mean? Possible fourth-walling. Anything from the summer of 2009 and earlier is potential fodder for him. So this is also serving as a permission post for that.
Are you okay with him knowing your character's canon? Are you not? COMMENT! If it's any consolation, his canon is technically fourth-walled IN his canon (silly ARGs), so he's unlikely to directly mention that their canon is a book/movie/video game/whatever. And he is fourth-wallable by anyone that could logically recognize the Decepticon symbol on his police shield (which is right in front of his door in vehicle mode and up on his pauldron as a tire guard in his base mode).

I will hopefully be posting a log with him tomorrow so everyone can go bug the car that's randomly sitting in Some Zone. Fair warning: if you get in his cab, he will lock the doors and drive you around like a maniac at dangerous speeds. He won't hurt anyone, he's just out to scare some folks because he loves doing that and it's been so long since he had any stupid monkeys to play with.

AHH YEAAAAAAH! I AM SO EXCITED. MORE REASONS TO HARASS YOU!

... Did he ever talk to Shocks at Axiom? I don't remember.

[namesnotprowl]

I KNEW IT WAS YOU also YAAAAAY!

Aaaaand I... don't think they ever spoke? I could poke around to get a more definitive answer, but half the time I don't know where Barricade tagged. Bro was too damn friendly X|

[turnoutthesun.livejournal.com]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I AM SHIFTY. A SHIFTY SPY.

Well either way, you're totally welcome to have him know little tidbits about DW Shocks, since DW Starscream made it hard for him to keep a lot of secrets.

[namesnotprowl]

THAT ALIEN TANK IS A SPAH? OH RIGHT, OF COURSE OF COURSE.

Oh those Starscreams~
At the very least, Barricade has been poking around the network here. Don't think he didn't notice your epic freakouts about your roboboyfriend disappearing.

[turnoutthesun.livejournal.com]

oh gosh he will be so embarrassed. an actual decepticon to talk to now and they know about his freakouts

[namesnotprowl]

two 'cons and one is human. how shall he ever practice medicine now?
at least he'll understand, since he would have done the same if he didn't know his roboboyfriend got an exit visa? not... that he shall ever speak of this roboboyfriend.

[turnoutthesun.livejournal.com]

shockwave will practice medicine on him obviously. and film it so he can watch and learn.
they will just have so many awkward conversations. never ending conversations because this one does not shut up. shockwave has been wanting someone to talk to. barricade is doomed

[namesnotprowl]

clearly they are both the red medic.
well, at least cade is used to someone talking nonstop, since he had frenzy and all. he'll get over it

[notsoloyal]

pfffffffffft. they both work on fixing someone. all the animals shockwave has collected pop out of random places

so much talk. SO MUCH TALKING. shockwave will love him

[namesnotprowl]

"dug, no, get out of those wires!"

he will be so baffled by that. he trusts shockwaves not at all but now one likes him bzuh

[notsoloyal]

"what is... how did my spider get in the-- NO DRILLER BAD THAT IS NOT A PLACE TO BURROW"

once he's comfortable around him he'll probably complain about how he was SO ALONE and how weird that feeling was. barricade please to be explaining emotions

[namesnotprowl]

"BAD, BAD DRILLER, STOP THAT." pfff did i mention barricade hates spiders?

aww, barricade will understand that. bonding over FOREVER ALONE. and he will explain emotions as best he can, you poor thing.

[notsoloyal]

oh dear. well. shockwave just has one he plays with, the others are experiments. but the one he favors isn't too big, and has a paperclip gun stuck to it

two years and he still has no idea what half of them are or how to control them. he will make it up to him by making energon and listening to his woes

[namesnotprowl]

d'aww, paperclip gun. as long as it doesn't try to crawl into his circuits, barricade shouldn't spaz too much.

you poor dear. uncle cade will make it all better. and hopes you don't mind endless complaining about how overbearing his soundwave is and how much his megatron neglects all of them.

[notsoloyal]

he doesn't really bring it out of his apartment much, so he should be good.

you are a very young uncle, uncle cade. he is all for megatron bashing, but will stick up for the soundwave forever.

[namesnotprowl]

gaaaaw, you sound like ironhide, man. and you only defend him because the tyran one didn't stick his tentacles all under your plating like you were a japanese schoolgirl.

[notsoloyal]

tentacles are pretty hot...

[namesnotprowl]

dude they really aren't...

but if you're into that i've got a pair in my shoulders that i never use mostly.

[notsoloyal]

juuuust saying i don't really have a problem with tentacles
having a problem would be illogical

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

And his holoform is semi-solid and looks like the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Oops?

...oops.

:D :D :D This should be fun.

And feel free to let him know Sarah's canon if you want, for extra, uh, fun.

[namesnotprowl]

Pffft, he choses a body because it is hot, shenanigans ensue :3

This should be entertaining regardless of what happens.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

screeeeeeeeee

I am super excite.

If he ever figures out that Nemesis's name is Nemesis Prime, he will start ragging on him about zombiepocalypses.
Sorry dude.

[knight4darkness.livejournal.com]

so many nemesi in my headspace

|D

[namesnotprowl]

All the Nemesi, they are yours.

Yeah, that Romero nicknaming from the Bad End meme? Totally applicable ::D

[knight4darkness.livejournal.com]

PARRRRRRRRTYYYYYYYYYYYY WITH THE REPAINTS

I admit I didn't get it when you wrote it. I was all like "wait romeo?" FILL ME IN?

[namesnotprowl]

SO MANY REPAINTS

No no, Romero like George. Night of the Living Dead, yo.
Though I will admit that 'Shaun of the Dead' would work for a nickname too.

[hisoldgirl]

You are always welcome to Fourth Wall meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee



/flails Barricade

[namesnotprowl]

Yaaaaaaay.
I'm sure he'll make complaints about the fan's arguments over which Doctor is best.
Because CLEARLY the Ninth was most awesome.



::D

[hisoldgirl]

Them's fightin' words!



:3

[namesnotprowl]

He isn't saying the rest aren't completely valid favorites. Just that his is more valid.
He has a thing for guys with buzzed-off hair, shush.


^^_^^

[hisoldgirl]

Oh, of course.

that's sort of the best reasoning ever, not gonna lie


(v ' ~')b

[teal-deer.livejournal.com]

OK SO

Homestuck technically started in April '09, but at the time nobody knew what the fuck it was and it was an obscure webcomic and most of the characters (the trolls) weren't even in it yet.

That said, you'd also want to talk to the other Kid players about if it's OK (I... still somehow doubt Barricade would know an obscure webcomic but idefk)



ON THE OTHER HAND, SHODAN is from the System Shock series, which is from the 90s, and he is welcome to go LOL YOU'RE THAT LADY? FROM THOSE GAMES?

[memorymodus.livejournal.com]

Technically he could know MS Paint Adventures, as that was around and even the kids know it's A Thing. They would just think he was talking about the Midnight Crew!

[puppetfetishist.livejournal.com]

THIS IS TRUE

hell I think Bro is even a fan of And It Don't Stop in canon; or at least his wallpapers are covered in it

[memorymodus.livejournal.com]

Homestuck: the canon that you can fourth wall without the characters actually knowing that they're being fourth walled.

[namesnotprowl]

He would probably not know Homestuck. Too busy watching old episodes of CSI and Cops and complaining about how much porn is on the Internet X3

He will be all over SHODAN, though. "Wait, people trusted you, when you're clearly evil? WHAT MORONS."

[puppetfetishist.livejournal.com]

IDK BARRICADE I GUESS IT IS JUST MY NATURAL CHARM????

[namesnotprowl]

I DON'T EVEN, NOBODY WITH MODULATED VOCAL TONES SHOULD BE TRUSTED

[eighttotwelve.livejournal.com]

MAN Barricade.

How I miss playing Dudewave off'a him.

[namesnotprowl]

He's here to make you all miserable ::3

ngl, I miss playing him off of Dudewave most of all. Grooviest pals~
