Redimus the ever helpful. :roll:

Id guess something along Reflector's lines would work best, or a Borg-esque hivemind?

Or something like Magmatron

Do they have seperate personalities and their own sparks that split some how, like identical twins, or is one essentially a drone to the other without a spark of it's own?

Without knowing what you meant by twin it's hard to help you out OP. If you meant twins like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker write them as brothers with the twin connection. If you meant like what AZ wrote above me approach it liek that.

I thought it was pretty spot on, what with the info we're given.

But, as Merc sed, without knowing any details, it's a little tough to figure out. You haven't given us any details on their connection or how they feel about each other.

sorry i was typing fast and didnt think at the time and i didnt think that their personalities were need since they dont have must of one.

anyway they are spark twins like sideswipe and sunstreaker excepted on the cons side.
well their personalities at the moment are that the white one is the prankster one and the dark one is well more or less like a con.

The Prankster is an attention whore and the Violent one is quiet and subdued, very much a professional soldier. They constantly bicker back and forth because their personalities are so far apart. However if either one of them takes any form of damage during battle the other one will fly off into a murderous rage abandoning their normal personality traits. Family is family after all. That's how I'd probably write them, but that's just me.

Write them as you'd write fleshie siblings. Merc's idea is good. I'd go with them having a intense rivalry too, where one has to one up the other. The prankster one would probably initiate most of the arguements.

basically rip off legolas (killer) and gimli (prankster)

Sat Nov 29, 2008 6:12 pm

you know personally i thought the prankster would be the quiet one and the dark one just Violent but not to his twin.

and who and who tammuz?

That works too, and they're your characters so write them however you want. We're just giving suggestions.

Tammuz is talking about two of the main characters from Lord of the Rings. Legolas is the elf and Gimli is the dwarf. What she said makes more since if you know that.

Are they brothers, sisters, or a brother and sister?

NONE of my characters started out with much personality, it was only through interactions with other peoples characters that they started being three dimensional, and thus giving my team a bit of a history, which gives a little more depth to my team it's ethos and the new characters brought in to replace others deaths.

so yeah, it's only through interaction with other characters that you build character.

Yeah. They're your characters. You can do what you want to/with them.

Maybe they hate each other and would rather see each other dead except that their sparks are connected in such a way that if one dies the other one feels constant physical pain.

That'd be a great idea, if it werent for the fact you'd have to have read the LotR Trilogy, which I can tell you as someone who has read it, is a horrible stodgey aweful read that never ends.

The films arnt much easier to to enjoy...
