Name: Nox

Meaning of name: Latin for "night"

Nickname: Noxy (he hates nicknames)

Gender: Mech

Faction: New Decepticon Order (explained in backstory)

Functions: Air commander, night flying specialist, revolutionary leader

Optic color: Purplish-Red

Height: 27 feet

Physical appearance: Dark grey armor which allows him to be almost invisible at night, scar across his right optic that goes down through his mouth, the Decepticon insignias on his wings are scratched out to symbolize his detachment from Megatron's Decepticon legion.

Personality: Battle-hardened and stern, Nox doesn't tend to show much emotion. His strong will makes him a good leader. He doesn't hesitate to do what he must in order to provide for himself and the bots under his protection. While he does have a soft side, it rarely shows itself. He is kind and generous to those he trusts, but can be depicted as cruel to those he doesn't trust.

Backstory: Nox doesn't remember much of his past. He was born in the Southern part of Vos, which wasn't exactly the nicest place on Cybertron. He had been on his own since he was young after the disappearance of his parents and was picked up by the Decepticons when he was older. Since they were his only family, he joined their cause when the war started. However, he quickly realized that Megatron only wanted power for himself and would use anyone as a stepping stone to do so.

In an act of desperation and boldness, Nox gathered a group of Decepticons who also disagreed with Megatron's ways and fled. Thus, the New Decepticon Order (NDO) was formed, with him being its leader. The NDO's purpose was to continue fighting for what the Decepticons were originally fighting for: freedom and equality.

Over time, more and more Decepticons made the treacherous journey to the NDO hideout so they could gain safety from Megatron. Nox organized scouting teams and designated transports for fleeing refugees. When it came to the Autobots, Nox believed that those under Optimus Prime's leadership weren't as corrupt as the government they had worked for and would often work with them to continue the fight against Megatron. This was an uneasy partnership, as bots on both sides still harbored hatred for each other's faction.

When Cybertron fell, Nox was forced to evacuate everyone in order to keep them safe. Cybertron was no longer inhabitable. The entire NDO boarded a ship and set off into the unknown. They ended up on Earth long before the Autobots and Decepticons did and formed a base of operations. There was a period of peace until the other factions arrived as well. In present day, Nox is still doing what he did on Cybertron while also looking out for the human population as well.

Likes: Freedom, Cybertron, energon sweets, protecting those he cares for, flying, exploring, humans (the good ones), thunderstorms, rain

Dislikes: The Autobots (certain ones, not all), The Decepticons (especially Megatron and Starscream), nightmares, traitors, unnecessary slaughter, chaos

Deepest fear: His deepest fear would be Megatron destroying everything he's worked for (killing his people, locking them away, etc)

Favorite thing: He loves watching the rain when it's storming outside, although he finds it annoying to fly through.

What would break him: If someone he truly trusted ended up betraying him, that would absolutely shatter him. It would also be devastating if his life's work was torn apart before his very optics.

Opinion on relationships: He doesn't really want a relationship. He feels that he isn't ready for one.

How does he feel about himself: More often than not, he hates himself. There are some times where he feels confident, but those moment are few and far between.
