NOUS

Allegiance: Decepticon

Function: Medical Transport/Medic

Transformation: Heavy Tetrajet

"I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed being."

Nous is charming and outgoing, but you only get to cross her once! She is difficult to provoke, but her temper is ferocious and she retains grudges until she feels she is revenged. A highly skilled medic and technician, Nous can transport up to 5 wounded Decepticons back to med-bay at a time and she is adept at non-medical repair tasks. Nous enjoys her work and loves socializing with her fellow Decepticons - if they treat her with respect! Her enemies cannot hide from her radar. Nous packs an ionic blaster and her strength and bulk make her a powerful warrior, but she is hampered by her lack of speed and frequently it is only her heavy armor and endurance that saves her. Nous's ability to create protective force fields is actually a disadvantage as she envelopes her fellow Decepticons first, leaving herself unprotected. Nous had a harsh, poverty-stricken upbringing which makes the Decepticons' plans to revitalize Cybertron and expand their empire seem very agreeable to her. She has little experience with beings of other worlds and she is incredibly curious about them. She may even gain respect for them in time.

Nous's History:

Nous was created by two unaffiliated Transformers. Known as Neutrals, or less charmingly, 'Scraps' by the 2 factions, unaffiliated Transformers tend to lack the resources the factions have. [Note: This came from reading fanfic and being a poverty-stricken unaffiliate myself on TF2005.] This stark upbringing made Nous into a mean little fighter, who's first motto was "Morals? Can't afford them!"

After much hard work, Nous received a scholarship to the Decepticon Academy where she excelled. Her character softened with the better life she was living and this and the philosophy of the Decepticon Academy helped her gain a sense of honor and self worth. She even became a little arrogant about her intellectual abilities as her new motto "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed being" shows. Her anger with the world softened too and the sort of things that provoke her are never gratuitous now.

Nous lost the title of Dux of the Decepticon Academy to Starscream. This incensed her because she was convinced he was cheating while she played fair and square. Starscream's subsequent disappearance and ostensible death on the mission to Earth has softened her hatred of him but her disdain for cheating and dishonorable behavior remains.

Nous's Goals:

Nous would like the Autobots and Decepticons to merge under a common goal - the Decepticon's goal of empire expansion and the revitalization of Cybertron. Nous dreams of a Cybertron so wealthy that even the 'Scraps' have enough energon.

To this end, she follows orders and makes suggestions when she feels she has something to add. Nous has been known to argue with Autobots about their ideology, which, as Shockwave points out "is a logical way to test her armor."

Nous's Physical Appearance On Transformers: Lost Years MUSH

Robot Mode:

"The robot mode of Nous stands before you, slender and feminine but exuding a quiet sense of strength and self-confidence. She gleams silver, accented with royal blue at the feet, hips, elbows, knees and lower torso. Her head is a lighter shade of royal blue and so are her arms, which taper down into bright silver hands. Her silver face accentuates her piercing red optics which have an expression of unquenchable curiosity and intelligence. A silver Decepticon emblem shines proudly on her lower torso."

Heavy Tetrajet Mode:

"Before you is a heavy tetracraft medical transport, weighty and ponderous, obviously built for strength and endurance, rather than speed and agility. Mostly silver, accentuated with royal blue at the nose and at the tip of its three tail fins, the tetracraft moves slowly but surely, protective of the Decepticon wounded that might be inside."
