History: Fyre is a female version of Pyre, reformatted from a heavily modified and altered technorganic shell into a Vehicon.
Oh, if it was only that simple.
Pyre has never had a simple origin, but to sum up, over the course of his existence he has been plagued by two forces that were frequently beyond his control, three counting fickle Fate herself. The Greater Force was (in theory) the supreme evolution of the Transformer race, many individuals evolved into a group consciousness, leaving their shells behind, remaining only as pure spark and consciousness. To achieve "perfection" they incorporated evolving organic matter into ship construction and their armies. The Endless meanwhile, were 13 beings left behind from the original (pre-multiverse we know and exploit) universe, trapped in a sub-dimension after trying to usurp control of it, and thus surviving its subsequent explosion and fragmentation. Needless to say, a single Transformer couldn't do much against that kind of force, not even one as die-hard as Pyre.
This particular version of Pyre only encountered the Greater Force, but that was more than enough. As before, when his mate died, he accepted the Greater Force's offer of a new body and power that most Transformers, that most sentient beings, could only dream of. And, as before, the Greater Force began a systematic extermination of all life in the universe. This time however, instead of rebelling against the wholesale destruction of sentient life that was not of the Greater Force, Pyre wholeheartedly embraced this new life. He brought war and death to wherever he was sent, as was his duty. An old saying goes that "No matter how big you are, there's always someone bigger." Pyre met his match during his battles, in power and in leadership, in the form of the unexpected; a Transformer bearing the Matrix of Leadership.
The decades long struggle culminated in a fight over, and under, the surface of that universe's Cybertron. Incredibly, when the Greater Force was about to triumph, the same organics that had been isolated and kept under heel for millennia in that universe rose to the defense of the Transformers, recognizing that if the most heavily armed race fell, that they would be as nothing to the Greater Force. They were insects compared to the Transformers, at least in Pyre's opinion, but these insects were armed with weaponry comparable to any other force on the battlefield, employing years of stockpiled firepower they had secreted away in a plan to free themselves from the tyranny of the Transformers. Ironic now that it would be used to save their oppressors.
With this strange twist of fate, Pyre and his forces were defeated. The Greater Force abandoned him and the troops that remained, deciding this universe as a failure. Pyre himself would not surrender and, determined to destroy his foe, he ordered the remainder of his troops to hold the line while he struck down, towards the very heart of Cybertron. If he couldn�t have it, neither would anyone else. He would destroy Vector Sigma, and annihilate the entire planet in the process. Before he could complete his preparations, he was set upon, and in the ensuing battle, captured. When it was discovered that he could not be killed, despite numerous attempts, his spark was extracted from his body and banished, not just into space, but at a black hole.
Because he was only soul and not physical any longer, he was able to survive the journey, emerging in a strange but familiar universe. He could not seek revenge on the organics that had deprived him of his victory, not without a body at least, and drifted for several decades in space, with nothing to do but think and plan. Luck was with him, though, and he found himself drifting towards Cybertron. Needing a shell more than anything, he found what appeared to be a Maximal graveyard, with bodies piled high. Sensing, yearning for the most powerful shell to be found, he entered into the body of a Maximal with the rare Beast Mode of a dragon. Seemingly, he had come for circle. Except for the fact that the shell was that of a female.
The sudden change in dimensions and height, not to mention center of balance was disconcerting, but no more so than the virus that wormed its way through the organic parts of his, or rather, her new body, crippling it. In addition, the shell itself had been wounded, evidently in a massive battle. However, Pyre, or Fyre, as she had begun to call herself, had not come this far to simply die down and die now. In her Beast Mode, she scraped, burned, melted, tore away at the flesh in her body, while at the same time adding technological components. There were days when the pain was just too much, and Fyre would simply lay there, as the virus in her system, her own desire to survive, and her spark's refusal to die fought each other.
Eventually, she had altered, changed, or reformatted enough of her body that, in combination with her own regenerative powers, the virus was destroyed. The price: her regenerative ability itself, used up and burn out by the effort of combating a lethal virus for solar cycles. All the fighting with Megatron, the Vehicons, the Neo-Metals, the Maximals, and the rest, had been carefully observed, but not interfered with. Mostly because she had been weak, but also because she had needed time. Time to become strong, and time to decide who to side with. The latter was decided almost the instant that the she saw the Maximals; full of technorganic flesh, weak, and feeble. They reminded her instantly of the same organics that had put her down ages ago, and worse, they were spreading their organic plague over the planet! Worse still, they had succeeded!
Now, it was time for her to make her presence known, and to wipe the Maximals and their organic plague from the face of existence. Even though her own Beast Mode is still there, if not entirely intact. Regardless, she now registers as entirely mechanical, with no hit of organic structure to her frame. At least, as long as she controls her temper.
Physical Description:
-Beast Mode: Fyre's beast mode is fairly unique. Originally, even after her rather abrupt change from a mech to a femme, she still retained her Transmetal 2 Dragon beast mode. Unfortunately, it was at this point that she developed the intense hatred for all things organic, given the fact that said organics had been the cause of her misery and torment over her entire life. The Greater Force, the Endless, and what have you. Deciding that things were better off as mechanical and technological, Fyre discovered a program to remove her Beast Mode from her body bit by bit. Unfortunately, it wasn't successful yet, and even though it continues to work away, her dragon form remains.
Between the form's semi-damaged state and the fact that she despises it, Fyre only transforms into this Beast Mode when she has no other choice, which is rare indeed, or when absolutely enraged, also a rare happening. During the transformation sequence, her "normal" appearance, whatever that might be, essentially shatters bit by bit, given that in its full length from tail to snout, her Beast Mode is a little over 13 feet long. Because of the destructive nature of her transformation, it takes a long time for her to store the necessary power to return herself to her "normal" state.
The Beast Mode itself looks much like a Transmetal, technorganic dragon. Not overly bulky, but still powerful, the most interesting thing of note about Fyre's beast mode is that it has no "flesh" or "muscle" on it, not organic, technorganic, or otherwise. Actually, there are bits and patches, but they look gangrenous, rotten; black scales, torn muscle, bits and pieces of it dropping off here and there. This is a direct result of the program that Fyre has been using to remove her beast mode. Infuriatingly though, the actual core program of the Beast Mode exists to this day, hence the "undead" look to her in this mode. The "bones" that now make up the majority of her beast mode are utterly black in color, and her eyes are two red glowing pinpricks in hollow sockets.
Four limbs, all reverse-jointed to ease walking are tipped with three razor sharp talons on the front, and one on the heel, each one typically leaving sparks on any metal surfaces, cutting through whatever Fyre walks upon. Her tail is half as long as her body spiked along its length, and ends with a flat, edged blade more suited to slashing than stabbing. Her wings are likewise skeletal, with only the cartilage struts remaining, but as hard and durable as any part of her body. Her maw is filled with enough razor sharp, needle-like teeth to make any dentist cringe. In this form, she can fly, although she needs to use her telekinesis to aid her given the status of her wings, and she also has the ability to breath gouts of black flame that act much like napalm, albeit burning hot enough to damage Transformers.
-Robot Mode: Fyre's robot mode is, essentially, a pleasure to look at, especially if the viewer is a Vehicon. She is curvy, in all the right places, but not as much as a Technorganic, or a Beast Warrior. Despite that, she has no identifiable Vehicle Mode, mostly because she doesn't have one at all. As a result, no tires or hubcaps or anything of the ilk are visible on her form. Still obviously a Vehicon, stands regal in appearance, straight back, chin slightly raised. Her arrogance is visible in the way she holds herself, but then again, she has a lot to be arrogant about. She has the hourglass figure popularized in recent years, busty, smallish waist, but not waif-ish, and wide hips. Despite that, there is no doubt that she is a capable combatant from her appearance, and she's slightly more muscular than your average femme.
Her face is smooth to the sight, with full lips prone to sultry smiles, high cheekstructure, and what could be called "wolf optics". Essentially, she can look dangerous with little difficulty. They are entirely black except for what would be pupils in a human, and those are bright blue. When angered, or when using her pyrokinesis, her entire optics glow bright, fiery red. Her coloration is, overall, entirely black. Along the edges of her armor are lines of dark violent, and she has a pattern of tiger stripes, red, along her legs, stomach, chest, and arms. Generally, she looks very attractive, at least until she�s angered. That is a different story, because she turns into her-
-Third Mode: Fyre's third mode is a terrifying sight to behold. No longer sleek, at all, the best way to describe this form would be; Fyre's third mode is to her robot mode as Jekyll's Mr. Hyde is to his Dr. Jekyll. Essentially, Fyre becomes bulkier, gains a foot in height, and gains permanent claws, knee spurs, and talons. These are not retractable or alterable in any way; neither are her permanently glowing red optics, or her maw full of jagged teeth. There are still no hints to her Beast Mode in this form, although she is definitely not the kind of femme that would get a lot of dates in this mode, unless of course you're into big, buff, spikey femme 'bots practically seething with anger.
She prefers not to assume this form, due to her arrogance and pride in her beautiful appearance, and the distinct lack of beautiful when she transforms. She is slower, but more powerful in this form, as well as slightly less coordinated. The latter is a combination of her increased size, and the fact that she�s generally enraged when she transforms. This mode is also a "backup", and she would generally prefer to transform into this mode than her Beast Mode.

Skills:
-Melee Weapons: Swords: Fyre is very proficient in using her own sword of choice, the full blade a massive weapon just as large as her own body. She is adept at using it to keep an opponent at range, and her great strength allows her to parry and counter faster than many foes expect, often with fatal results. She is also competent in wielding other swords as well, but prefers her full blade.
-Melee Weapons: Claws: For the occasions when an enemy gets inside her guard, or she is without her full blade, Fyre can use her warp blades and extendable finger claws to full effect, gouging, slashing, and gutting whoever needs it at the time.
-Persuasion: While everyone is good at this sort of thing, Fyre is a master, having spent a good portion of her previous lives getting armies to do what she wants. She typically prefers to be the "kind" manipulator, getting people to do things using charisma, which she was in abundance, and that sort of thing. This, as opposed to getting people to do what she wants via holding their family members hostage, threatening them, and so on. Naturally there are exceptions to every rule, and although Fyre won't burn bridges unless she�s supremely confident of the fact that she can get away with it, but when they burn, they really burn.
-Expert: Dance: Fyre is an accomplished dancer, and actually practices occasionally, given her desire to turn Transformer culture into an aristocratic format.
-Athletics: Despite her height and power, Fyre is still able to move with a grace and certainty that lend to her royal, regal bearing. Moreover, this skill also enhanced her combat abilities.
-Concentration: Fyre has the ability to concentrate on either one task exclusively, or many tasks at once. This skill aids in the use of her telekinetic and pyrokinetic abilities, as well as her fighting skills.
-Hand-to-Hand Combat: Fyre is an accomplished hand to hand combatant, if only by virtue of her sheer amount of experience in fighting over millennia She knows a variety of styles, from Metallikato to the Carcanen art of Technoshin, to plain old simple Kung-Fu. What this amounts to is a style that is almost totally unique, incorporating the most effective facets of many disciplines into one very deadly way of fighting, one as capable of disabling as killing. Holds, blocks, kicks, punches, knees, head butts, everything is game and nothing is excluded. It can look beautiful or ugly, either a graceful dance or a brutal display of street fighting. One thing that is certain though, it's the style's effectiveness.
-Flight: Fyre can fly through a combination of her wings in beast mode and telekinesis. Clearly, since she has no wings, or vehicle mode, she won't reach the speeds of others with the Vehicle modes of jets, but it's still faster than walking. Plus, it looks fairly impressive descending from on high, arms crossed, not to mention imposing.
-Endurance: As much by sheer force of will as physical training and durability, Fyre is able to push herself harder and farther than most, especially considering her new body.
Abilities:
-Telekinesis: One of Fyre's two remaining abilities from earlier days, Fyre can manipulate almost anything in sight without touching it. Her telekinesis is actually more powerful than she is, at close range. She requires line of sight to use it, but can manipulate fine objects at any distance she can make them up. Within ten feet, she can stop a rampaging Tank drone, lift it up into the air, and smash it down. Of course, that would be the only thing she could do; the larger the object being manipulated, the more concentration it requires. She can completely immobilize a medium sized Transformer and still be able to taunt, move, and generally do anything that doesn't involve reading or advance planning.
At most, she could probably stop one medium sized Transformer, two if pressed, holding them helpless, but it would be straining to do so, and she would be helpless if anyone else attack. She cannot control energy bolts or bullets, both of them fly too fast for her to stop, although it's conceivable that if she saw a missile or a mortar round coming she could redirect it. She can't simply form a "wall" of telekinesis, but must manipulate each object individually, so just firing enough missiles would be enough to overwhelm her.
Just like anyone else lifting something, Fyre gets tired the more she lifts, the more often she does it. The effect is physically tiring, just as if she had lifted it herself. If she lifts something larger than she would normally be able to, it's just as draining as if she had lifted her maximum weight with her own two hands. Also, she cannot use this ability couple with the one below at the same time.
-Pyrokinesis: Fyre's other major ability that remains is her ability to manipulate, and create fire at will. The fire itself is white in color, and clings to whatever it touches as long as Fyre concentrates. She can cause flammable objects to burst into flame, but any flame she creates out of nothing will die like a normal fire once she ceases concentrating. Any fire she simply creates can range in temperature from hot enough to roast marshmallows to melt metal, the second of course requiring some time depending on the density of the armor or metal she's trying to melt through. Again, once she ceases concentrating, the fire will cool to a "normal" fire for whatever she's ignited.
For example, if she creates fire to engulf a tree, the fire will be incredibly hot, hot enough to burn a Transformer, but once she ceases to concentrate, the fire will cool to the normal temperature of a tree on fire, and will burn only as long as fuel remains for the fire. Just like her telekinesis, igniting too much or too often is tiring, as is maintaining a fire for any length of time by sheer force of will. As noted above, she cannot use her pyrokinesis or her telekinesis at the same time; she must use one or the other. This power is also line-of-sight dependant. If she can't see it, she can't burn it.
Weapons:
-Sarkazein: Fyre's weapon of choice, Sarkazein is a large sword, a full 9' long from hilt to tip. Despite its length, its only about as wide as her palm, is double edged, and has a sharpened tip. It�s also very stylized, with a Vehicon insignia on the hilt and on the bottom of the pommel. The weapon rests in a sheath that runs crosswise over Fyre's back, with the hilt over her right shoulder, making it easy for her to draw and give out a powerful slash right from the start of a battle. Its size makes it cumbersome to wield in small places, because although the tip is sharpened, its weight makes it a far more effective slashing weapon. Like most Transformers who wield a sword as their primary weapon, Fyre has made sure that her blade, coupled with her great strength, is capable of cutting through most armor with enough work.
-Warp Blades: These are two and a half-foot long blades of energy that emanate from the tops of her wrists. There is no visible port or energy device that they appear from, they simply crackle into existence. They are as sharp as any beam saber, and are used for the same functions; cutting, stabbing, slicing, and killing. Fyre generally uses these in a place too small to wield her full blade.
Equipment:
None, as she's had no opportunity to gather anything that useful. Yet.
Personality: Fyre is outspoken, arrogant, and very self-assured. This can be very irritating, more so because she is enjoys being right, and hates being wrong, and contradicting her can be a task in and of itself. She disdains backing up her words with violence, believing such a thing beneath her, but if someone keeps pestering, well�despite that, she generally keeps a very tight reign on her emotions, but most especially anger. That goes hand in hand with her ability to manifest any emotion required for the situation at hand in order to give her an advantage. She does have her pride however, and will never show fear on purpose, not even to gain a strategic advantage. Fyre speaks in a calm manner despite all the above notes, believing that yelling serves no purpose other than to ostracize people from seeing that she�s right. In private, Fyre is not much different, except few people get to see her in private. In private though, there is a certain predatory nature about her, especially when alone with a potential victim, or lover.
Despite her general disdain for pointless combat, Fyre does love a good fight, especially one that ends in death. Oddly enough, she would offer mercy, and even accept surrender, as long as she detects no hint of betrayal or deception about it. Indeed, if someone recognizes their inferiority in the face of her abilities early, so much the better! Occasionally, Fyre will demonstrate fits of destructive, malicious destruction that will generally fall upon the weak around her. She despises weakness with a passion, and anyone not able to offer some useful talent, even if that talent is just moving rubble from point A to point B as a slave, well, they're likely to find themselves suddenly immolated in burning white flame.
Fyre enjoys sex. That's a simple enough explanation, which belies the work it took for her to arrive at this point. Now, she is totally accustomed to the body she now inhabits, and having fashioned a good portion of it herself, she recognizes the sway that it can give her over weak-minded, or lusty males. She is not above using her body and charms to her advantage, and is not above indulging herself before "dealing" with a partner, one way or the other. Her form gives her no discomfort anymore, and she has no intention to return to a previous form, especially given that her spark is quite firmly entrenched in this shell.
Fyre is also obsessed, though; not for sex, or for power, or money, although she likes the second a lot; rather, she wants to crush all organic life under her heel. Naturally, her Beast Mode is a very irritating factor for her, and although it no longer brings her pain, its very presence is enraging. Having lost a war at the hands of nothing more than fleshies, she has nothing but hatred for them, and they are the sole exception in regard to her tendency to do whatever it takes to gain herself an advantage. She will never show weakness, or mercy, to any totally organic creature. Technorganics, and Maximals, are to be pitied, saved if possible, terminated if not. If she has any weakness, or personality flaw, this is it.
