[challenge] Backstory Challenge

ajremixSo it's JUST slow enough for me to put this up. It'll be the first of my (hopefully) monthly 24-hour challenges. If I can recall to do this on a monthly basis it'll be (idealy) on the first or within the first week of the month.
So this month's challenge is going to be backstory. Pick a character- whatever character you know (or think) I'm familiar with and I'll write a short drabble depicting their past however I see it. Because I probably won't be able to get to these as quickly as my previous challenges, you're free to pick three characters at a time. After I've finished all three of your challenges, you may pick another three. If someone else has picked a character you wanted to see a story of, you can still ask for them and I'll just do a different scene.
CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED BECAUSE GOOD GOD I HAVE SO MANY PROMPTS I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH MORE^^;;

TFA Twins
Date: 2008-09-08 03:49 am (UTC)They were the best. Hands down, uncontested, numero uno (and uno redux) the greatest pair of fighters to come out of their entire decade in the academy. Getting into and through training for the Elite Guard, for them, was going to be a snap.
Which not at all explained why they were both face down on the training mat while a skinny little icicle of a bot glared down at them. “If you’re done wasting my time…”
The two sneered at the black cycle who was tapping his foot impatiently. It was on, now.

Date: 2008-09-08 05:38 am (UTC)Ah well. Good thing I made a list of characters so I could still jot down a couple more drabbles to type up now that I'm at home.

Date: 2008-09-08 06:16 am (UTC)I'm probably going to be focusing on The Unit for a while, but considering how much I love writing the short shorts, I should post up something similar to my writing blog soon. Hrm.
(Which reminds me. I don't think you ever sent me your request, btw!)

Date: 2008-09-08 06:08 am (UTC)"Sorry, sir." The kid could almost pass for innocent if he hadn't heard low mutters of 'rusted old coot' and 'outdated relic' from that same brat not half a mega cycle ago. "Won't happen again."
"I'll bet." He glared. "You're on office hours for the next stellar cycle."
"What? Aw, c'mon!"
"Don't give me that! Kup, if you don't learn to think you'll never get to be half my age."
"Who'd wanna be a decrepit old junker..." he muttered just loud enough.
"Two stellar cycles."
"What?"

Skywarp
Date: 2008-09-08 05:23 pm (UTC)"The technology is sound," Starscream continued, arms crossed over his cockpit, "it worked well enough on its own. You obviously did something wrong when you installed it."
Hook bristled at the comment. "I did nothing of the sort. The operation was flawless. It's your idiot of a wingmate that doesn't know how to utilize it properly."
"I'm not arguing the 'idiot' part, but the fact is something changed that had a perfectly functioning system-"
"Theoretically perfectly functioning."
"-it functioned and Megatron wants this working-"
Thundercracker decided that was a good time to break into the conversation. "You know, you're probably just going about this all wrong," he said, striding between the two mechs, "we just need to get Warp properly motivated."
Starscream and Hook watched as Thundercracker approached Skywarp, speaking in low tones and pointing towards them a couple times. Skywarp looked up, then at the blue jet, then back and grinned a terrible grin.
Then he disappeared.
Starscream howled and something slapped at his wings. He whirled around, hands fisted, only to find the smell of ozone and a particle build up behind him.
About twenty meters away, Skywarp had laughed himself onto his aft. "Hahahaha! Oh, TC's right! That was great!"
"You're dead!" Starscream shrieked. "Both of you!"
"Megatron needs that warp technology." Hook drawled.
"Fine! Thundercracker, you're dead! Skywarp, you're heavily maimed!"

Re: Skywarp
