ic information
CHARACTER: Drift
CANON: Transformers IDW
CANON POINT: post-finale of Transformers: Lost Light
INFO: tl;dr + wiki page
Drift is on first impressions a nice, if a bit reserved guy given to voicing his opinions and occasionally going on the random, quasi-hippie tangent about self-reflection and "auras."

That's all true. Drift also happens to be a genuinely nice if moody guy who used to be a mass-murdering top lieutenant and personal assassin for a colonizing warlord who recently underwent a redemption journey. And worse yet - he turns into a racecar that turns into a giant robot covered with swords for marketable model figurines. Ka-chow.

REGRET:
Drift is essentially trying to go back in time to recreate a quantum event that flung him and his friends into an alternate universe to prevent the disappointing future he came from where the love of his life had recently passed away. It's as weird and convoluted as it sounds.

CR WISHLIST:
Short answer: Yes!

Long answer: Drift is...shy about walking around the station without his human guise and tends to hole up on his own between missions. This lie of omission has created some humourous and awkward situations where people who have known him for days or weeks only to discover his true nature on missions. He'll be upfront if asked but prefers to interact with humans (or the human-like) on a more personal level. Partially out of respect, partially out of being a self-loathing longer, and simply because it prevents a lot of neck strain for the other person in a conversation.

Negative and positive CR is always sought after with this guy. He's a bit lonely and not used to anyone wanting to spend time with him. Still, he can be a little intense and opinionated on matters of autonomy, religion, and socio-political issues (he's still a raging anarchist that only recently mellowed out.) Drift is also well-aware of what he was like in his old life so if your character is a ne'er do well former or unrepentant villain (Darkling hay gurl), that might have one or two redeeming qualities or just someone who made a lot of mistakes in their life, expect no judgment from Drift. He tries his best to understand people who went down a dark path and believes in the better nature of others, as corny as that sounds. (Except Megatron, it's Complicated)

tl;dr He's mostly friendly and gets attached easily but keeps his distance, like a feral cat that knows you give the best chin scratches but will still hide under the car, so to speak. A feral cat who is a weeb with dead wife syndrome.

RECAP:
Drift has three missions under his belt and they all been getting progressively worse and he worries the vibes on the station will continue to deteriorate the closer they get to their end goal. But a little murder is still okay, maybe.

OPEN POSTS: inbox + late april open post but I'm more than happy to do TLs take prompts for May
ETC:

Yosh! This makes me happy.

I remember they talked about bonsai in their first meeting so Zhao will mention the bonsai to him as soon as I get around to posting about it sob he gets them since he kinda...wants...to help. (and maybe their conversation about it waaay back when was on his mind when he asked for them. even though it's been forever... he meant to get them for the two of them at some point. orz )
