Safeguard || spacetimeguard .

Anon is fine, he has a HMD in his LJ as well. I do respond to concrit over too. I'm a big girl. Concrit is love. Also, if your unsure about something with him, just ask me. 8D?

Just a note - there is the possibility that I will figure out how to canon update him to the end of his series soon. No idea when, but it's a possibility. :)

Safeguard has been really cute! He's a nice mix of capable and also of helpless, and its neat to see him interacting with bots and cons he doesn't recognize. I also like how you've been developing his language, and its really great to see a bot from a universal stream that nobody gets and watching him trying to explain that without the right words. I'd say be careful with your word choices in supplementary text--sometimes I've found myself misinterpreting what his thoughts or actions are when I'm reading logs with him in it. On the other hand, he's a great character choice if you do have issues with grammar, because he covers that very well! It'll be neat to see where he goes from here!

Re: Emma

Thanks. It's hard to play him at times though, as there's the whole 'learned helplessness' thing that I have to try and balance out with his I am fully capable of doing this' thing. [Honestly, if you have been with a person for a long time who protects you, it would happen. I've seen it happen IRL with ppl as well. :(]

Safeguard's grammar is.. interesting to say the least, as I come at it from the angle that Minicon is very different than English or Cybertronian. Yea, we get three lines in the comics where he speaks. But, like, that is not enough to say that he can speak Cybertronian like that all the time, or English for that matter. Making him learn is also helping my own grammar, though I fear that I fall short sometimes, or do not catch everything that I should. :(

Derp, I shall be on the look out for that with the supp-text. I was not aware, so thank you.

Re: Emma

That makes total sense to me, too. Actually, I really like the fact that I can tell he's in a lot of pain without you actually having to say it--it reads really well in his actions.

Its awesome when characters can help you learn new things yourself, though. I mean, Magnum has taught me so much about manipula--I mean, interacting with people...
But no, really, I've noticed you improving a lot just in the small amount of time you've been here. Keep up the good work!

[agiftedmind]

That's what I was hoping was coming across. It's not on his mind as much now, but bring it up and he just. Shuts down for a bit.

LOL! Megatrons are good like that!

Thanks. I try my best. :}

Re: Emma

[airspacecommand]

I really don't know much about Safeguard or his canon, so I can't say a whole lot. But I find him to be very cute ~

Re: Emma

[agiftedmind]

Thanks.

I dare Starscream to call him cute IC. In person or over the comms. *innocent grin.*

It is good for the game to have such a unique character - someone who wasn't just separated from their universe/war, but that was separated from their actual purpose and is struggling with just communicating. I agree with Sae that some of his asides had me confused on the first read, but you have a very neat take on his spoken grammer. His shyness seems like it would be hard to get him to be social, but you've been doing a good job getting him in scenes despite that.

Re: Emma

[agiftedmind]

It's hard for him on all accounts, and I shall admit that I might have put to much thought into things to do with Safeguard. >__>

It's not so much shyness as a more 'How do I respond' type thing, due his social experiences been extremely limited and or stunted. It's somewhat easier for him in serious/military type sits. I just keep poking him in the general direction of things, so, we'll see how it goes for him.

[knightslegacy]

Is Safeguard the first Aurexian we've had in the game? I can't remember.

I don't have a good basis in his canon so I really can't say, but I can say that I was glad to be involved in the thread with saving him and the other minicons.

[agiftedmind]

I do believe so, at least minicon wise. I think there was a Sideways [Who I;d love to see come back. >__> For freak out's from my pup, of course. XD]

Dude, if Kitt and Safeguard ever meet again in true forms, there shall be much glomping to be had. And then possible 'dragging' to meet the other minicons, whom Safeguard is now friends with.

Re: Emma

[spacetimeguard]

Ah, thank you. I try my best, yet I know that I slip up.

I do try to stay as close to it as I can, but given so little to work off can be frustrating at times. And or headsmashy at times. Hasbro. :|

.. I think I owe a tag. /runs off to check.

[shinysupergirl]

There isnt too much I can say concritily that hasnt already been said. He's adorable and I love his steady language development.

He and Sari defiantly need to hang out more, that much is for certain. Yay for teens/teenlikebots social time!

[spacetimeguard]

*points to safeguard's latest post in the main comm.* XD?

Yea, once he's back into his normal form, it will be easier. Cos then he thinks of her as a protoform. Blasted human body.

[shinysupergirl]

[goes to poke it] x3

Defintly~ I'm not quite sure what Sari thinks of Safeguard. Probably something between YAYFRIEND! and LITTLEBROTHER atm. Even once he's back to norm, she's still got it in her head that he's adorable and needs guidance.
