● PERSONALITY:
Nautica is a giant nerd. There's no two ways about it, she's vastly intelligent; it's probably the first thing anyone notices about her. Nautica reads a lot, and beyond her interest in quantum mechanics, has an interest in pretty much everything under the sun. She's not afraid to point out flaws in an augment or give her honest opinion, and can back it up when pressed. Yet she would never think of using her knowledge to shame someone, or use it to lord over anyone else. Nautica isn't a showoff and she doesn't need her ego constantly stroked over how smart she is - complements make her clumsy and she is more than willing to give people credit where credit is due.
But more importantly, Nautica is unequivocally upbeat and cheerful, always ready with a smile. She's friends with the most unlikely of people and doesn't seem to have the knee-jerk reaction to hating Decepticons like most of the Autobots. Conversations come easy to Nautica, and even though she tends to babble when she's not watching herself or tell jokes that no one understands, she's always good natured in her interactions. Her actions can sometimes border on naive despite the immense amount of knowledge she has, most likely owing to the fact she's never been away from Camius before in her long life - she hasn't really experienced the things she's read about. But she approaches everything in life
This isn't to say she's above some friendly ribbing with close friends - Chromia, (presumably one of) her mentioned amica endurae (a best friend when you live millions of years), gets some of this when Nautica jokes that fighting can't be that hard because Chromia does it.
The finer points of social interaction are something that Nautica doesn't get, however. It manifests anywhere from her inability to get jokes, not understanding that Cybertronians who have animal-like forms aren't pets, to not approaching things with the amount of emotional weight they deserve. Her response to hearing about someone's death is to simply say 'oh, that's sad'; although she's not completely unmoved when she stumbles across the terribly maimed corpses of the crew of the ship she's joined.
She tries, however. To the point where she's created a list of in-jokes among the crew of the Lost Light that she hopes to eventually understand. And she's quick to correct herself when someone points out that perhaps she should be a bit more tactful. There's no malicious intent in her actions, just a general lack of awareness for social cues.
It's also show that she has expensive taste when it comes to alcohol, something that possibly translates to having a bit of an upper crust taste in other things. Her taste in books does seem towards the rare and expensive and she is absolutely above gossip rags. (Or so she says, despite having no qualms about reading it with friends.) Another thing of note is that she's terrible at making threats and has very little actual fighting skills - she'd most likely classify herself as a non-combatant although she can manage a few good hits with her wrench if the occasion called for it.
● ABILITIES:
CYBERTRONIAN BIOLOGY; As a mechanical lifeform, it'll take a lot to kill Nautica. She can survive in extreme temperatures for brief periods of time and doesn't need to breathe - the vacuum of space doesn't particularly bother their race. Bullets won't do much beyond digging into her plating (high powered energy weaponry, on the other hand, will do a lot more serious damage) and even decapitation isn't necessarily a death sentence for Cybertronians. Destroying her brain module, her transformation cog, or her spark (the physical equivalent of her soul) is the surefire way of making sure she dies, however. She'll also go into stasis lock (the equivalent of a coma) if she runs out of energon - a sort of naturally occurring fuel that's a Cybertronian's only form of food/drink. She's also probably around 15 feet tall (but that's a guesstimate since scale and Transformers franchises do not get along) and has the equivalent strength to go along with.
TRANSFORMATION; Nautica is Cybertronian from Caminus (even if she was forged on a different planet, the idea's the same - they're still the same species), which means she's gifted with the ability to change shape. In her particular case she transforms into a deep water submarine that's capable of short distance space travel. Like one does.
INSANELY INTELLIGENT; Exactly what it says on the tin. It should be mentioned that beyond her skills as a quantum mechanic, Nautica doesn't have any experience or skill with the practical application of her knowledge with regards to hard sciences. She just knows things because she's read everything she can get her hands on.
POSSIBLE OUTLIER; Outliers are Cybertronians who have skills and talents that are unconnected to their alt-modes. Nautica is mentioned as possibly being one in her medical records, and it's likely her 'power' has to do with her intelligence/ability to comprehend things/retention. She's a super genius, basically.
● INVENTORY:
ONE (1) WRENCH; Not your average wrench, Nautica's can do just about any non-weapon task you could possibly want. It's been shown taking readings, used as a flashlight, binoculars, and having a light come on when she exaggerates. It can also possibly be used to tighten up screws. Probably.
THREE (3) CUBES OF ENERGON; Glass cubes filled with highly explosive liquid that glows magenta. An unfortunate requirement for her continued survival.
● GAMEPLAN:
● NETWORK SAMPLE:
UGHHHHHHHHHHH
● LOGS SAMPLE
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A NOTE: to make gameplay as easy as possible, I'd prefer if Nautica was sized down to somewhere around seven to eight feet, if that's allowable, at least for her time in the city?
