...soo....this is Tripwire.
One of those nebulous things where technically he's an IDW-canon character, but...there's literally nothing about him besides his name. No visuals, no backstory, no nothing. So. He's mine now, and might as well be an OC.
He's a teenager (young Warborn, equivalent of 17), he's an albino (hence why the 'skin' portions of his body are SO BLOODY LUMINESCENT-PALE), and he's a Point One Percenter.
Abilities: People straight-up do not notice him if he doesn't want them to. He doesn't turn invisible or anything, it's just like people's eyes just simply pass over him, as though he's not there. He can make himself so unremarkable that nobody remembers they saw him, even as they're looking at him. He can also cause intense power surges with his scream (hiiiigh-pitched frequency that disrupts EMP fields), but this ability he really does not use. At all. The third ability is the fact that he has a near-supernatural knack for working out probabilities, and he uses this quite often to calculate the chances of success for almost EVERYTHING he does, or that those around him want to do...eeeven if most of the time people don't listen to him.
Alt-mode is that of an amphibious hovercraft ATV, whiiich is why he's built more like a motorcycle than a car -- aka he's rather SHORT. Also why the 'spokes' of his wheels look so weird: they tilt up to form the fans for his flight-mode, and thus are more solid than not. He's perfectly at home on land, in the air, or in the water, he just doesn't advertise this little fact.
Trip is a sweet, introverted kid. He's on the spectrum, and since discovering fidget toys from Earth, he always has at least one stashed on him somewhere, to help with the anxiety that DEALING with the day-to-day brings him. He likes people, but he's not so great with dealing with them. He's very intelligent, but his social cues are somewhat lacking, and he gets anxious enough that it can make him freeze up if he's not careful. He's highly sensitive to noise and texture and will avoid what he considers bad at all costs if he can, which usually means he avoids medbay like the plague because of the beeping noises the machinery makes in there. Puts his teeth on edge and he can't stand it.
Damus (Glitch) is something of his guardian, in that Tripwire usually winds up going to him for help if he's stuck on something or if something is wrong. Nothing official, just the Adult He Trusts Most. It's worked out so far.
He's friends with Bumblebee, Strongarm, the Sunnyside twins, and Smokescreen. He hasn't interacted with the other teenagers in this group much, but he's talked to the Jet twins, Gyre, and Solus Prime a few times. He's literally known Bumblebee and Strongarm since before the three of them had names, and Tripwire wasn't even old enough to talk properly yet.
small fun-fact, Drift has a bit of a crush on him and Tripwire is absolutely clueless.
