Barrage can use all common types of ranged weapons. He is also highly skilled at knife fighting, and has extensive hand to hand training. His style of combat mostly focuses on multi directional combat in close quarters. His unarmed combat is rather straight forward and often incorporates blows using his guns as blunt weapons. Barrage prefers to end combat in as few shots or blows as possible.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Barrage’s body s very much a robotic version of a well built humans male's. His body is defined by the separations of his armor rather then muscle. Inside most of his mechanisms mimic the human skeleton, and muscles. Even his knees, foot, neck, and elbows joints are set up much the same. There are some distinct changes though. Instead of toes he has one solid segment that takes their place. Also the joints in his hands are all ball joints. The ball joints in his shoulders and hips are set out a bit more to allow more flexibility. Running the full length of his neck and back is a segmented spine that can be seen from the outside. The full body is solid black, and has little shine. He has a subspace pocket built into the inside half of his forearms, and open just before his wirsts. These pockets contain all of his weapons. There is another pocket in his right thigh in which he keep non-weapon items.

Barrage’s head is mostly one solid piece in the shape of featureless human head. It is the same black as his body. The only detail is a raised section that wraps around his head like a pair of goggles, and is a dull grey. In the front of the head it is wide enough to cover the eyes, ears, and nose, if he had those. Once it goes past the ears it slims down to half that size. There is a black visor that is spread across the entire front of the piece, and warps partly around the side. Barrage has no mouth, but when he talks that part of his face moves as if it was covered by a mask. His voice has a dark gruff tone.

The Coat: Barrages coat has the same basic appearance of as a trench coat without a belt around the middle. It doesn’t have of a bunch of buttons in the front. Instead it has two small flaps near the middle of the chest that clasp together. The sleeves are 2 times wider then normal, and the main part is 1.5 times wider. It also has attached hood. When note on a job Barrage stores this in subspace.

PERSONALITY

Barrage is a psychopath who has built a career out of doing what he loves, and what he loves just happens to be killing. He is a heartless monster with a twisted sense of humor who is known for performing acts even most preds couldn't stomach. It matters not who the target is be they man, women, or child. He will take any job that pays well, or looks to be enjoyable. In battle he is known to often mock his opponents as he slaughters them. On the same hand; however, His tends to kill his targets as quickly as possible. The only time he draws out a targets death is in torture.

Outside of combat Barrage comes off more then a little odd and few would think him capable of his deeds. He comes off more as a goofy whack job of an insane person as opposed to a mass murderer. He prefers to spend time among the more violent crowds of Axalon as he is almost always looking for a fight. He focuses almost all of his energy on becoming better at his trade. He has even forsaken relations with others, or at least he would tell you that.

WEAPONS & SPECIAL ABILITIES

• <Betty> - <Barrage’s primary weapon is this full automatic combat shotgun. It can fire either a more standard area effect shot, or anti armor slugs. The gun holds 10 shells at a time, and Barrage stores more in the subspace pockets on his legs. Thanks to his high strength Barrage can fire this shotgun one handed, but does need two for full auto. Betty is Barrage’s nickname for the gun. [1]>

• <Twin Sunset> - <Two high power, mid range, semi-automatic hand guns. Both guns fire high power energy rounds that look like bullets made of red energy. The energy cells carry enough charge for 30 shots, and can be swapped like handguns clips. He stores more cells in subspace pockets. [2]>

• <Throwing blades> - <Razor sharp throwing blades. Each one is long enough that it can be used as a combat knife. The blade can be lethal against bots with weaker armor, but are mostly used to handicap or distract an enemy. [3]>

Equipment

• Grappling cable: A small cylinder shaped magnetic grappling hook launcher. The cable can hold up to a large G1’s weight. Barrage uses it to make nifty escapes.

Traits

• Enhanced senses: Barrage’s hearing and vision has both been enhanced greatly by Crackdown. He has night, infrared, and telescopic vision. His hearing has also been enhanced to high levels. He can hear the mechanisms in a trigger before a gun is fired. This only helps if he knows where the shot is coming from. These senses combined with his reflexes have given the impression that he can see things before they happen.

• Photographic Memory: Barrage never forgets anything that he sees.

HISTORY

Barrage over the course of many cycles has built a reputation as one of the best mercenaries on the planet. Yet at the same time he is one of the hardest to find. To most of his employers there only contact has been in the form of a comm. channel that is bounced across a massive network to avoid traces. In addition to this it seems that as far as any records go Barrage has never existed. He is a true unknown in the transformers world, even to himself.

So how did he come to be? The first thing he can remember is waking up in some lab with a pile of bodies surrounding him. He has no idea what the place was, or why he was their, and frankly he doesn’t much care. From their he moved on to begin his oh so loved career, as well as to become one of the most wanted murderers on Cybertron. If only the law had any clues as to who or what this unknown merc is.
