Profile[]
Bulwark is a builder in the Engineering Guild, generally involved in large construction and maintenance efforts. He’s started to feel that the guild’s focus on ‘helping the population’ is restricted to those already protected and has started to wander the fringes, where he might find those who are truly in need.
Background[]
Bulwark has lived an exceptionally ordinary life. Forged for construction in high-stress environments, he's cannot recall a time when he wasn't creating something. Generally satisfied with things the way are, the only modification he had made to himself was to integrate his primary tools, the hammer and torch, into his hands and wrists, respectively. However, when the trouble started with Megatron and he lost his mentor in the fighting, he further modified the tools of his trade for combat. Just in case. Tired of a war he didn’t want and losing faith in his leadership he wants for a new purpose. This dissolution has led him to wander the war-torn areas of the world, looking for ways to help others caught in the crossfire between what he sees as the chaos of the Decepticons and the imperialism of the Autobots.
Skills & Abilities[]
Construction and Reinforce. That's what he was made to do, and he's good at it. That's pretty much all he'll say about that.
Weaknesses[]
Due to his advanced internal cooling system, which helps him function in high-heat stress environments, his system doesn't react well to lower temperatures. The same system that keeps him cool can be overwhelmed by higher intensity Plasma and directed electric attacks as well.
Slow to action: Mentally sharp, but not agile. Give him enough time and he can solve about any logistical problem you can present. Need a solution now? Be prepared to wait.
Minor memory loss: Bulwark has some corrupted memory banks that he refuses to have fixed because they don't store what he considers to be 'valuable' information. However, this means that he doesn't always recall names and events very well... and then there's the force field device he made, but just can't seem to locate.
