This is an extremely cursed Transformers RP blog for a self-willed, chaotic-evil mechanical moustache. Bear with me. Details below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if the moustache pokes your muse and you don't want to deal with its shit, please feel free to ignore/drop! I really do not want to annoy anyone OOC with this!
Current hosts: @madxmachine
Muse:
Name: None known (answers to “moustache”, “you little sod” and “AAAAAAGERROFF”)
Pronouns: It/its, until and unless anyone successfully determines otherwise.
Appearance: A small, pointy artefact of welded, painted and polished black steel, shaped roughly like an extended horseshoe moustache, of about the right dimensions to fit the face of an average Cybertronian. It seems to be wearable by a surprising variety of mecha, though, so may have mass-shifting abilities. Capable of self-propelled flight by some unknown mechanism.
Attributes: The moustache is a parasite that feeds on the life force of Cybertronians by magnetically attaching itself to them and absorbing their spark energy through their armour. For preference it will attach itself to its host’s face, where it conveys a minor symbiotic benefit of making them look distinguished (or... not, depending on observer tastes) and somewhat noticeably evil. If prevented from attaching in its preferred location however, it will stick itself to a host’s armour anywhere it can pass unnoticed. Occasionally it attaches to the “face” of the host’s faction symbol instead, to achieve closer proximity to the spark chamber (or possibly just to make the host look silly).
(Note: the moustache’s consumption of spark energy is very minimal, and will not cause any measurable harm to a healthy host. It might have more impact on weak, sick or injured mecha, but even then won’t cause lasting damage.)
Behaviour: The moustache selects its hosts by unknown means, but once it has located one that appeals to it, it will persistently follow them until it succeeds in attaching to them with or without their consent. Getting rid of it requires either finding it another host it considers acceptable, or engaging in increasingly drastic shenanigans until you finally manage to get far enough away that it can’t find you again. If not driven off, however, it will happily stay on a host indefinitely.
If the moustache is deprived of a host for long enough, it will become inert and enter a form of stasis lock where it is indistinguishable from a piece of scrap metal. If touched by a suitable host while in this state, it will immediately attach to them and begin absorbing their energy to revive itself.
Origin: The moustache is a minor spawn of Unicron, created apparently by accident in the G1 timeline.
OOC notes/rules:
Mun: Rath (this is a sideblog to @of-fire-and-light, follows back from there.) Mun is 18+.
Rules: If you would like your muse to be haunted by the moustache, just tag @cursedmoustache in a starter post and we will come and harass them. Mutuals, followbacks etc not required, this curse is free to all. (If you tag me and I miss it because tumblr is a hellsite, please message me!)
You can do whatever you like to the moustache without repercussions beyond those it’s capable of inflicting IC. If anyone successfully destroys it, it will simply respawn back at this blog and the muse who destroyed it will become immune to it thereafter for as long as they wish to be.
Anyone who attempts to befriend or adopt the moustache, conversely, may unlock extra abilities/content for it in the process. Your muse is welcome to wear or reference it in other threads if they currently have it. However please do not attempt to inflict the moustache on other muses without their mun’s consent.
Unless something truly cursed happens, there SHOULD be no n*fw content on this blog. If there is I will cut and tag it to heck and back, because I will probably be as perturbed as anyone else. O_O
