I hope any lingering questions are answered about Silent Shadow in this chapter since she is the most overpowered OC I have. if I miss anything or you have a question, please ask in the comments, through the messaging section on my profile or in person, I love answering your questions.

Species: Guardiano

Continuity: Transformers: Rise of the Guardianos

Availability: Depends on the role and must be credited to OpticsEdge. Not for commercial use until all novels and versions are sorted out. (Let's be honest, I find not many people will steal an overpowered original character that is only stopped from destroying the universe by her mental energy, doesn't make a good book unless you know everything about her.)

Division: The Twilight Regiment (Guardiano origin)

How and when was she born?
Silent Shadow is old, really old, she was born following the war of extinction and did not mature for eons (as if these beautiful sentiments weren't immortal enough). Her sire met her carrier in a deep cave below Cybertron's surface directly before the Predacons went extinct (how romantic). It is very rare for a powerful crossbred to be raised and survive since most attempts end up deformed, processor dead, paralyzed and incapable of motor functions, mutated with health problems, or even killed by their own carrier (let's be real, this happens to every species that is crossbred through the generations).

(Also if you want to, I can hold a vote for a Q&A or even a whole new book about her and the others from Transformers Prime: Legend of the Guardianos®️ backgrounds and origins if you would like, so let me know.)

What is her faction?
Part of an entire league of neutrals fighting for equality in the middle of the Cybertronian war, Silent Shadow leads the Twilight Regiment with grace in their haven. The canon series mentions that neutrals hide from the war, but these neutrals are pretty much in their own co-existing war with a different god-like species (reminds me of a book series that's entirely different from Transformers).

How did she end up on earth?
Okay, I sort of cross-referenced multiple continuities but I am most certainly not using that same old simple explanation of "crash-landing on earth in a pod". She left Cybertron by choice. Her past had caught up with her when a certain grey Cybertronian she called a fiancé separated from her when he had realized she was not Cybertronian and a potentially dangerous immortal. She had enough of running around ending battles and conflicts between other factions and decided to start a healing journey on a different planet. She fabricated her own Space Bridge thanks to the teachings of an amazing scientist and modified it to take with her (like a porta-portal). She coordinated it to set a bridge for another planet called earth (even if the name didn't make sense since it is mostly water and not earth) and left the war behind. She brought her friends with her since they wanted to go too and they arrived when the first of homo-sapiens started walking across the planet. They established a base and learned to stay hidden and to harvest their own Energon.

You mentioned that she's a sociopath?
Yes, Silent Shadow has a history filled with betrayals from Cybertronians because of her natural lack of emotions and many prosecutions from Guardianos because of her over expressiveness. Pretty much tears her in half but she has continued to advance in her emotional skills that are never present in the face of her relatives.

What makes her overpowered?
She has incredible phasing abilities thanks to the shadow zone that also allows her to take the form of any configuration of substance.
Like Transformium from the bay verse (yes I realize that there is no mention of it in canon Transformers Prime) She is also a Guardiano (pretty much the most immortal a non-God gets) and incredible fighter.

If Silent Shadow is transforming into something super small, where does all the extra mass go?
Science! Finally, someone else thought of that, okay, if Silent Shadow is transforming from her bi-petal birth form to say, a grizzly bear-proof cooler (please don't ask why I thought of that particular object, I have no idea), then she would either separate into multiple Scraplets and a single cooler, the little extra shards would seep into the ground, or there would be a whole bunch of coolers in a suspicious pile.

I'm a little confused with her personality, can you please explain?
Silent Shadow is a sociopath that is on her way to the control of all her emotions (pretty much a sociopath that is trying to return to society's typical mental state other than the depressed state everyone seems to be in nowadays). In the continuity Transformers Prime: Legend of the Guardianos, Silent Shadow is not able to feel guilt, full-on anger or depression.
She is humorous in her own way and sassy in her thoughts.
She has some identity issues (I would be like that too if I didn't know whether to turn into a mech or femme when I could turn into anything).
She is an empath but sometimes is non-receptive to certain high-strung sentients (the first one I thought of was Starscream).

Why doesn't she destroy the whole universe?
Silent Shadow is stopped by her emotions. The morals of Guardianos and other god-like species' prohibit the destruction from taking place and will stop any violators of these morals (like Primus and Unicron). In this continuity, Silent Shadow doesn't know that she could potentially destroy everything and thus wouldn't even try. If she was emotionless like some of the oldest Guardianos, she could accidentally destroy a whole galaxy and not even care, so don't consider her to be emotionless, please.

Why doesn't she consume Energon, the others on her team do, what's her excuse?
Silent Shadow is a Guardiano, while the others are like our planet's carnivores, she is an omnivore (would ya look at that, some of that useless knowledge from school came in handy).
In her birth forms, she has a compact system in her dentas that allows her to combust carbon monoxide and metal into energy for her daily functions. This compact system is similar to an equine digestive system but waste is expelled through her plating in the form of oxygen and hydrogen, while the rest is formed into a poisonous toxin.

In the first chapter, why did Silent Shadow not phase as easily as in the other chapters?
Good question, Silent Shadow actually relies heavily on the location of shadows and timing to phase, but in that situation, she would need the shadows to cover over her or she would waste too much mental energy (therefore resulting in becoming processor dead) on phasing through a tight space such as that cave.

Preferred fighting style: melee and stealth kill

Height: Taller than Predaking's beast form in bi-petal birth form but shorter in beast birth form, so roughly 10 metres or twenty-six point two four six feet in bi-petal birth form.

(Fun fact: Predaking's wingspan is two hundred and twenty metres wide. Two fragging football fields!)

Colours: ocean blue, deep violet, scarlet red.
(armour in birth forms +Cybertronian look-alike)

Protoform: light grey and black stripes.
(Unless taking a humanoid appearance)

Biolights: green visor and veins, white and green or pink phasing light.
(Always the same)

(Eldest version)
observation: looks like a My Little Pony.
(Probably because I created Silent Shadow before I knew how to decently draw anything else other than My Little Ponies)

(No words can describe how much research on the art of drawing transformers I have done to get from this first attempt to where I'm at right now with her designs)

bipedal birth form
(V3 outdated version)

Beast birth mode
(potentially out of date)

And then whatever other things she wants to be...
