Character Information
Character Name: Rung
Canon: Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye
Canon Point: Post-MTMTE #21
Is your character Dead, Undead or Alive: Alive
History: All you need to know about the good doctor
Personality:
Rung is one of those bots who has learned a lot after six million years of being around and dealing with bots of every shape, size, and mental complexity. (Especially prospective and established Wreckers; that in itself has taught him a lot...specifically patience and accepting just about anything that anyone has to throw at him.)
First and foremost, it’s important to understand that Rung is a very compassionate bot at the core. He truly cares about those that come into his care and will do whatever he can to help them, willing to go to whatever lengths or work with them for however long to get them back to a functioning state of being. He remembers everything he’s ever been told by his patients, especially those that were primary cases for him at various points throughout his life. Even when he’s being threatened by a patient, Rung always manages to keep himself collected and approaches the situation with an open mind and a gentle spark. And he never holds it against them.
Along those same lines, Rung is very loyal to his patients and will not, under any circumstances, divulge information to any individual that is not meant to be shared or included in a report. (His reports are full and very detailed but the personal things he’s told by those that he works with are kept to himself and the patient in question.) No matter what situation Rung may find himself in, he’s a rather hard nut to crack and puts protecting his patients and their integrity over protecting himself. Now, if it's a serious enough matter, Rung might divulge information but it has to be a serious situation, such as a patient's life being at risk, etc.
Anger isn’t something that comes naturally to Rung, the psychotherapist not easily riled given he’s had to deal with quite a lot in his line of work. He’s learned to not let things get to him because if he does, then he’ll never get anywhere with his patients and that’s the most important thing to him. He keeps his own issues and frustrations to himself, never allowing himself to take them out on a patient or another bot. This bottling of emotions leads to Rung having some issues of his own but he always puts on a smile and pretends that things are okay. One day maybe he'll talk to someone but..today is just not that day.
Rung isn’t a genius, by any means, but he’s very intuitive and very good at deduction. Everything is a puzzle to him, in a sense, and he’s very good at matching the pieces together and figuring out what the bigger picture is even if some of the pieces are missing. (Because he’s not one to pry; his approach to his work is waiting for his patients to feel comfortable enough to trust him with the information they have to give. So, no matter how long it takes to get the story out of a bot, Rung will wait and let them set the pace.) He never rushes to judgments or anything like that, willing to give bots chance after chance after chance if he sees the potential for something much more in them. There are honestly very few bots that’s given up on and frequently checks up on those that have been his patients in the past.
When it comes to things like fighting, Rung isn’t a very active participant; it’s just not what he does. His work is with bots that need him or bots that need to be screened so that’s what he focuses on and tries to avoid fighting as much as possible. Now, that’s not to say that he can’t defend himself if he needs to, but Rung rarely uses his self defense abilities because he’d much rather try and talk to the bots he’s dealing with and resolve the situation through words instead of fists. (And even then his abilities are very basic defensive things. He doesn't have any sort of offensive capabilities really. He's just never bothered to learn even if Kup tried his hardest. This, of course, doesn't stop him from jumping into the fray sometimes in an attempt to help.)
When it comes right down to it, Rung is fairly ‘down to Earth’ sort of individual. He can generally be found organizing the models he collects when he isn’t working with a patient or reading through datalogs/working on reports that he’s been doing. (His reports are added to the Autopedia after completion.) He doesn’t need adventure, he doesn’t need the thrill; he’s quite content to just settle in his office and do his own thing. Rung isn’t antisocial though, the doctor being quite chatty when he’s around others and very personable, to some extent because he does have those awkward moments sometimes, but he’ll never object to the company of others—unless he’s doing something concerning the confidentiality of a patient.
Abilities, Strengths and Weaknesses:
+Skilled psychotherapist: Having been doing this particular job for almost six million years, Rung has become very good at what he does, so good that he was the bot new recruits for the Wreckers were sent to in order to make sure they were going to be able to handle whatever was thrown at them. He’s worked with lots of different bots over the years and has a very gentle and soothing approach to his work.
+Recording Device: Located in his thumb, Rung is able to record any and all conversations he has with his patients or just random individuals that he happens to find himself in an interesting conversation with. He is able to play back the recorded data outloud or to himself when he’s organizing his reports and even has the ability to broadcast what he’s recording for others to hear while it’s happening.
+Alt Mode: Like all Cyberteonians, Rung has the ability to transform into a different form. His chosen alt mode is a matinence communications vehicle with a long ladder like arm extending off of it. Rung honestly does not use this mode much, unless he needs to travel long distances or somethig of that sort.
Weaknesses:
+Rung is not a fighter. Unlike other Cybertronians who have received upgrades over their time in existence, Rung has not changed much from how he was originally brought online. He's quite slim and fragile looking and he has no weapons on his frame whatsoever. The only additions he has to his frame are the expandable arm--the extending arm that is seen in his alt mode--that generally holds datapads and the like for him when he's going through his files.
+Along the same lines as above, our dear therapist is also completely useless when it comes to defending himself considering he also lacks fighting skills along with weapon training/modifications of any sort. This..is really why he tries to avoid all forms of combat if possible.
Samples
Network/Action Spam Sample:
+Network post from a previous game
Prose Log Sample:
Rung had never been to Earth so coming online had been an interesting experience for him. Everything looked so strange and..small. Not horribly small but definitely not the building sizes and whatnot that he was use to.
And then there was the feel in the air. The sense that something was just not right about this place.
His vents cycled softly as he pushed himself up to stand, minding the building on the right so he didn't do any damage to it, optics brightening as he glanced around. He attempted to ping the Lost Light, hoping to get some sort of response but there was nothing. It was like the line was dead or something.
That wasn't off putting or anything.
Resting a hand on the roof of the building, the therapist rubbed his head a bit, trying to make sense of all this and figure out what to do. He could just wait where he was and hope that someone was closeby...or he could start searching on his own. It wasn't the best option but..
Stepping away from the building he started to walk down the street, minding his steps as he went and scanning the area as he went, absently wringing his hands together.
