Is it appropriate/inappropriate to be bored simple meme-ing on a fic journal like this? Oh, we'll just say it is. Appropriate, I mean.

1. Comment to this post with the name of a character that I have written in fic. Or geeked out about. Or sideways-glanced suggestively. Or mentioned somehow meaningfully ( Read more... )

A. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her. Well, primarily I needed an antagonist that was actually on Megatron's side, and in his own special way was way scarier than Starscream could ever be. Soundwave was the obvious choice. :)

B. One of his/her best traits. Heh, define "best"! Like many Decepticons, Soundwave is very "greater good" oriented, and in that way is also remarkably selfless in some ways. He genuinely believes that Megatron is right, and is quite willing to die for that cause. This, of course, being a very large rift in the fallout between the Autobots and the Decepticons, what that "greater good" actually entails.

C. One of his/her worst traits. The creation of symbiotes is, to many, even Decepticons, considered immoral, so he loses points for that. He also has very little respect for life, especially organic life, of course.

D. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character. Eh, it depends, I'd say the hard part is making him 'scary', and really, in Naturalized he only shows up twice, so both times had to be all MEMORABLE. And really, 'scary' and 'intimidating' is up there with 'funny' in what is hardest to write, so really, I would say that he's damn hard to write.

E. How much, if at all, I deviate the character from the source material. Primarily in that I have more specific motivations lined out for them, even if they haven't made it in print yet as he has yet to speak, and also that whole not-speaking thing. Plus he's not, ya know, a Boombox.

F. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future. He will most probably be a major-ish character in Libertas of the no-title-yet.
