Physical Appearance:

-Talisman always wears a brown tattered cloak, which covers his entire body. Underneath his cloak is not the body of an ancient Autobot, but the new body of a Transformer. Unlike his old Autobot body, which was battered and more rigid, this one is smooth and curving. His entire body is colored medium gray, no color breaks, just medium gray. His old body, which was small and frail, was multi-colored with red, yellow, and orange. His new body has the build of a martial artist, like Bruce Lee, small yet strong. His optics are a neon blue. He has a long, black goatee/beard on his chin, and has a long, black Mongolian-style ponytail on the top of his head.

Personality:
-Talisman is a peaceful Transformer who wishes only to record the history of his people. He was given the job as a historian/record keeper early in his life and he enjoys doing it, but he feels that he is slightly flawed for this occupation since he was told that a good section of his memory is missing or has been erased, and he fears that it will happen again, but does not openly show it.

Whenever he is not recording history or fighting with his comrades, he can be found in a secluded area meditating. He has been trained in various forms of martial arts, and thus meditation is a very large part of his life. When he is meditating, he is in such a deep trance that he can not be removed from it by an external force. When meditating, he often likes to find a peaceful area, such as a waterfall, a forest, a prairie, or a sealed room.

Although he dislikes fighting, he will fight, if the cause is good. He has seen many wars and battles in his lifetime, and he has seen what they do to beings, and thus chooses not to fight when he can. During battle, he tries to outsmart his opponent more than fight, and is often successful.

Specialties:
-Archive: He has vast memory tracks which allow him to remember events in greater detail and long enough to write them down later if he cannot at the time.
-Martial Arts: He has trained in and mastered numerous forms of martial arts over his long life, including Kung fu, Judo, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Tai Chi, and Metallikato to name a few.

History: While it is not known, not even by Talisman himself, how old he is, it is known that he is over 1.5 million stellar cycles.

Talisman was brought online during the beginning years of the Transformer civilization. As soon as he was brought online, he was given the job and status of record keeper, to archive all major events of the Transformer civilization. Growing up in the first 200 hundred stellar cycles of his life, he lived in seclusion, reading up and the history that he was not around for. When he finished this, he returned to civilization and assumed his job, but soon after, war broke out. As the war waged on, Talisman stayed on the sidelines, recording all that he could.

When the war finished, Talisman found himself the unfortunate slave of a Transformer named Crater. Crater took Talisman aboard his ship, the Balis, and they left Cybertron. Crater took Talisman across the cosmos, stopping at numerous planets and planetoids. At these planets, Crater would often visit various Death Pits, arenas where beings fought it out to the death. He brought Talisman with him, so he could not escape. It was at these Death Pits that Talisman observed some of the arts of combat. As soon as he would start learning something, Crater would often move on.

Talisman lived like this for over ten thousand stellar cycles, often being traded among slave traders, causing him to record more observations and learns new techniques. It was from one of his former slave masters, Stratostorm, that he obtained his current weapon of choice, a Kitzean Battle Staff. Unfortunately, while traveling through space, Stratostorm and Talisman were attacked. The attackers, an unknown species of aliens, killed Stratostorm, and left Talisman aboard the Tsunero for dead. This left Talisman in a state of suspended animation, drifting through space for many years, it is estimated for about 700,000 stellar cycles.

Eventually, the Tsunero crashed an alien planet. The inhabitants, who were Transformers, took Talisman from the ship and fixed the Tsunero. They worked on Talisman and eventually brought him back out of suspended animation. Talisman was accepted among these Transformers and became a free man. He eventually left aboard the Tsunero and began his exploration of the cosmos.

About a thousand stellar cycles ago, Talisman came to Earth. He landed in the mountainous areas and set out. He found a small temple nearby and began observing. It was here that he learned all the Terran forms of martial arts that he knows. Eventually, the Transformers came to Earth and he rejoined them. Through them, he returned to Cybertron. When he arrived to his home, he found it alien to him. He looked around, but was not used to it. He proceeded to download all his available history tracks onto disks. While living on Cybertron, he learned the art of Metallikato through observation, like every other martial art he knows. The Second Great War broke out and Talisman left Cybertron, not wanting to relive his life as a slave. He once again wandered the cosmos, observing all he could. Soon, the Maximals and Predacons emerged and took over as the dominant factions. They spread throughout the cosmos and Talisman stumbled upon one of the many colonies, Rycis. He docked and joined life at Rycis. At this point, his body was becoming extremely old and it was beginning to deteriorate. He looked around and found what he was looking for. He had a new body created and had his spark and all data tracks transferred to this new body. After this, he began looking for a job, and stumbled upon the Rycis Task Force. Seeing this as an opportunity to do what he does best, he approached them for a job.
