Knockout x Void (OC, they/them), with special uwu sparkle version because it's key we also know that he's into it~ he's a damn pretty car, if he's going to have a human they better match!
Some quick TFP OC sketches. Left is like a more normal outfit for them (always the winter clothes on the Nemesis it's COLD I bet) and the right is a dress specifically for Knockout's benefit which will be relevant in a later art piece
Also they change up their hair color quite frequently, though once they know KO better they tend to include some red in there somewhere.

General Description: Ash appears to everyone like a teenage boy, something that they take light humor in. They usually wear dark, baggy clothing- though due to the weather in Jasper, Ash has taken to wearing tank-tops and shorts as opposed to their normal t-shirts and pants. The tank-tops usually have some sort of cat-feature on it, with the most common being a black tank-top with a cat's paw on the chest. They always have a thin jacket tied around their waist, and their shoes are black slip-ons. Their skin is relatively pale anywhere that normally faces away from the sun (backside of arms, back, backside of legs, etc.)- and more tan/peach-esque on the front.
Notable Features: They have freckles all across their cheeks and along their nose, but their cheeks are usually slightly rosy- which allows their freckles to hide, for the most part. The majority of their scars (the noticeable ones) are on the left side of their body, but they do have an assortment of cat-scratch scars from earlier on in their life.
Likes: Electric yellow, lightning blue, futuristic aesthetic, reading while it's raining, cookies n' cream bars, Oreos, buttercups.
Dislikes: Pink, brown, roses, being cut-off, 3D posters/bookmarks, bubbly stickers, any 'coming of age' teenager love story.
Hobbies: Bowling, reading, gaming.
Loves: Watching the night sky, petrichor, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the film), cuddling, being able to make noise instead of having to make words/speak (and still be understood), being able to read stories they love to loved ones.
Hates: Competition, sore losers/winners, bees/flying insects.
Phobias: Deep water (deeper than 4' when they're nowhere near anyone else), heights (anything over 5' off the ground- slowly loses this one over the course of the given RP).
Inventory && Abilities/Stats
Pocket Contents: Phone (iPhone variant), click-open knife, pocket sanitizer pack, wallet (contains ID and a few misc. cards), earbuds (in their case, always).
Weapon of Choice: Pocket Knife.
Ability One: Near-Photographic Memory - Ash can memorize the most mundane of things or the smallest of details on a first try. They can briefly check their phone while awake for about fifteen seconds, and in that check, they'll memorize the exact time it was that they woke up for that span (as well as the top three notifications, if any were showing). They have the entire Jasper Library memorized down to a fourth of a row. Despite their near-photographic memory, Ash can't remember names to faces to save their life, and they are shit-all at remembering the names of roads in conjunction to one another.
Ability Two: Sixth Sense - Due to a childhood full of abuse, Ash is insanely good at detecting when anyone is anywhere nearby. It doesn't matter how good their ability to hide is, chances are- Ash will notice.
Weakness One: Semi-Deaf - While Ash is not entirely deaf, they are very much not all-there in terms of hearing ability. They have a hard time understanding anyone who talks at a normal speaking volume unless the environment around them is absurdly quiet. As such, Ash has gotten very good at reading lips. They also know ASL, though they default to speaking English as opposed to signing.
Note: Combat stats and overall rating are based on them against a fellow human. Against a Cybertronian, Ash is as fucked as anyone else. This, however, changes when they start to turn into a Cybertronian.
History
In what felt like a lifetime ago (which, strictly speaking, it was), Ash was born. The youngest daughter of a loving couple- with an eldest brother, and an older sister. They didn't realize what awaited them when they were young, but by the time Ash turned five- both of their siblings began to abuse them. Anything went,...so long as their parents didn't notice.
Even when the family moved ten years into Ash's life to another state, their siblings' abuse went unnoticed. Unmarked.
And their parents...never believed Ash, not for a day. They managed to escape when they were at school- but that was it. That was their life,...until they turned eighteen and ran. They ended up staying in an apartment with a friend they made at their first job- but their life refused to get any easier. While their siblings were out of their life, and they were coming to terms with who they were as a person (having finally been granted the power to learn about themself), Ash came across a job in a small little town in Nevada- specifically, Jasper. They moved to Jasper, Nevada on their own- and have been living there since their 25th birthday. About two years in (at 27), Ash adopted a black cat- Hex.
Ash has gained something of a reputation for being an oddball librarian- though they're polite and kind to everyone who walks in.
