Circuitshock

Circuitshock (A.K.A. Circuit) is a blue scout-class traitor. She was sparked an Autobot, and lived an average Autobot life for about 300 years. She lived in a small city near Iacon, in a group home of sorts with three other young femmes she was protoformed with. After choosing her primary modification - hacking tools and the additional processor power to handle them - she went to her town's resident hacker/system programmer. An older, strict femme who lived alone in a larger dwelling in the center of the city, she allowed Circuit to live with her while she trained her to use her new abilities. Once she had learned the basics, however, the femme gave her the boot and she went on to Iacon, to join Autobot Boot Camp.

There, she earned her name and learned some combat skills based on mental sabotage, but decided fighting wasn't her shtick, and instead sought out a path to use her hacking skills to help bots who had been malprogrammed, or scrambled their processors. She got an internship in the mental health field, where she got servos-on training in helping residential patients at a small infirmary/asylum on the outskirts of Iacon.

This is where things went bad.

In the process of getting into so many bots' heads, Circuit collected things. She made copies of their memories, information; took detailed reports of their problems. She was disturbed by her choice to do this at first, and kept passing it off as just wanting to learn as much as possible so she could help the patients better. She never told the senior medics what she was doing. But eventually... Something got crossed. She realized the level of power she had over other mechanisms, all because she could get inside and know everything. She began to abuse the patients, starting with small things nobot would notice, like planting silly ideas in their heads, or seeing how well she could play puppeteer and make bots physically move at her command, while no other medics were around, then erasing the patient's memories of it so she wouldn't be tattled on. Her moral coding corrupted, and she simply no longer cared about anything but her own knowledge and safety.

Hacking processors was hella fun.

She was eventually found out, and dismissed from the hospital, and faced charges. But her first teacher was not exactly the most ethical bot, either, and she helped Circuit to escape to Delta Pavonis IV.

On Delta Pavonis IV, Circuit led a new life. She underwent yet more training, though this time it was completely unrelated to her mechanical nature. A clan of cat-monks in a mountainous sector of the planet took her in and taught her in their form of paw-to-paw combat and stealth; a combination of spy- and ninja-like skills. It took her a little less than three of the cats' generations to master the techniques. At this point, she went off to join the Decepticons, thinking she could hold her own now, and knowing they wouldn't imprison her for hacking, so long as she didn't do it to her superiors.

After a long stint with the 'cons, she found herself alone again, on Cybertron. This is where she came into the RP...

For a while, just wanders Iacon.

Eventually she meets Jetfire and Jetstorm, and has silly adventures with them.

She finds a tiny pink and purple cybercat in an alley; names her Scrap(Ridgeback.)

She makes her allegiance clear when she joins the jail-breaking Decepticons as they escape Cybertron, lead the Autobots around space to lose them, and return to hide out in Flamewar's suggested crystal mines near Kaon.

After some time hiding out with the 'cons in the mines, decides they need their master spy back. She makes a solitary trip back to Iacon and helps to break Shockwave out of the stockades.

That, sadly, resulted in a much larger fight than she'd anticipated, and while she freed Shockwave, Flamewar and Megatron we re-captured. She feels responsible and goes into a funk for a long time.

Realizes how messed up she's become, and goes back yet again to Iacon, to check into the CCI for treatment. She's now a patient for what she once dreamed of treating.

Jetfire and Jetstorm are also in the CCI, admitted, then sticking around as visitors. Antics ensue; Circ ends up kissing Jetfire. It goes nowhere as he promptly passed out from the shock.

Soon after though, Jetfire takes her on an unauthorized-by-docbots flight around Iacon. They 'sing' A Whole New World together, but not really, then return to the CCI.

Seems to be getting better, but being cooped up in the hospital sets her back over the edge and she escapes to Earth.

Hides herself as a classic car, and is bought by Terry Wolff. Soon though, she reveals herself to him.

She joins the neutral resistance force that are based in the old coal mine. She fears going back to the 'Cons, and refuses to even attempt rejoining the Autobots.

Purchases a glaive with a collapsible pole from Blitzscream, using credits she has access to from stealing random bots' identities through her past hacking endeavors.

For a long time, tries to teach herself how to fight with the glaive, with little success. Mostly keeps to herself in the coal mines.

When the large battle of earthbound Kaon happens, she jacks into the mine base computer, in order to keep tabs on the battle through surveillance systems. She keeps Ridgeback and Terry close by.

When Sentinel destroys Trypticon, the resulting massive flash (which she saw from many angles due to watching from multiple camera systems) causes her to slip deeper into her paranoia, and she flees to a dank, unfinished cavern in the very back of the mine, and stays there.

Eventually she leaves the cavern and does various idle things around the mines, sometimes leaving for long 'camping trips' or drives.

For months, it seems just about nothing happens. Her "Shattered Glass" alternate universe self turns up, but nothing really goes down between them other than memory sharing.

Bored, she goes back to Kaon and recertifies herself as a Decepticon, going to Flatline for a revamp. Now she's a spiky little Cybertronian hovercar of some kind, with fairly basic flight capability while in robot mode. She's about a head taller than before, making her about Blurr's height.
