1) A G1 character which is currently not on the character list but exist within the toyline.
2) A character from late in the toyline, at the point these were mostly just 'gimmick' characters (such as Micromasters, for example) and if not, is it still possible to play those loosely re-imagined as a normal Transformers?
The reason I'm asking is that I don't particularly feel like taking a character someone else has already played at some point as it would feel like playing 'catch up'. Furthermore, a character with way less established lore and backstory would be easier to roleplay without feeling restricted or needing to have a wiki page or ten open.

Swindle170 wrote:Excuse me but may I ask if the list of characters that have been taken is accurate as of now. I am simply curious as some characters who are listed as unused were taken recently. While it is possible that these people were inactive for more than the allotted amount of time I would just like to clarify this before I make a request.Thank you in advance.

I would just like to get an idea of THIS Nightbeat ( I know G1 Nightbeat well and this IS him, but I want to check how he has been written so far) and how he has been played by other users to maintain consistency with them before I apply.
Thank you in advance to whomever replies.

I don't think he is. I checked the list and he's not there, and I seem to remember someone else trying to apply for him but being shut down because he's already owned.

Actually, Nightbeat is available. In any case, he hasn't been posted for in quite a while. As for consistency, he's with the Autobot prisoners in the mines of Garrus-9 in the convergence thread. I wouldn't worry too much about playing him like others have. Just play his general character and you'll develop your own version of him. Nothing too significant has happened to Nightbeat that would impact his general character.

I am confident that this shall be my final question. Is the sample required to be set in the characters current situation? For example were I to write an application for Nightbeat, would it need to be set in the Garrus 9 mines or, could it be somewhere else in the game's timeline?
Thank you in advance

Not necessarily. It can be a sample of the character in a usual situation or their usual job to show how they do things and such. Writing them in the situation at hand however is normally the most easy to do for new members especially. When writing anything other than what is going on currently, it can be complicated trying to figure out what is in the game, and what is not, because we don't take all things from each Transformers fictions as cannon in our game.
