Lockheed

An alt of Fanda_Player

Name: Lockheed

Type: Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules (Model number varies depending on transport frame type)

Job: Cargo and Transportation

Size: Social-Industrial (Approx. 12ft+ vertical, 48ft+ wingspan)
Transport Mode (Approx 38ft+ vertical, 97ft+ horizontal, 132ft+ wingspan)

Brief summary and simplified appearance: A calm, good-natured transport-plane aeromorph in a bipedal shell, who is somewhat of a physical klutz if he's not careful, due to his inexperience with socialising outside the military and industrial areas he's used to working in. A twelve foot synthetic humanoid made of what looks like military themed cyberware/armour, a winged jetpack, a plane-cockpit-shaped head and a plane-tail. His voice is masculine, calm, and a little country. Oh darn, there goes your house. Sorry.

Even simpler appearance in my brain: "A Super Hercules transport plane crossed vaguely with Jehuty from Zone of the Enders."

Bonus: If he ever, EVER turns up in his Transport form, expect a massive, massive quadruped vaguely reminiscent of G1 Transformers Sky Lynx. With a shorter neck.

An aeromorph along the same lines as Fairchild, a classy mixture of synthetic construction and mechanics, Lockheed - who much like his 'sibling' ship took his name from the company who constructed the plane he was based on - is rather something of a massive figure. At a towering twelve feet in his social-and-industrial bipedal platform the aeromorph, with his layers of desert-type armour plating (that mix of dark and light browns) right down to the tones of his synthskin is an intimidating looking figure. His physical construction is also similar to that of Fairchild, with a semi-humanoid head (though his snub-nosed 'snout' makes him look a little beastly rather than human) topped by his plane cockpit with working eyes (green) and mouth (interior and synth-tongue also lightly browned). His smoother synthskin (generally warm to the touch) is more armoured however, cooler in many places save around the joints and the 'cargo bay' that makes up his belly. Internally, he is a blend of both bio-emulating synthetic design and pure mechanical armour and construction.

His wing construction splays across his back like a jetpack, with four big turboprops that allow him to hover should the need arise, though this burns fuel a lot quicker than just walking about. He even comes with a tail, in that it is somewhat a mix between a more lashing animal thing and the typical rudder and tail design of an actual plane. Given that he doesn't have a pure social platform - he works mostly in industrial and pure transport - he doesn't wear clothes, and the 'fuel tube' that some might joke is a penis is hidden behind crotch plating that makes him look genderless. Being a military frame, his strength, power output and resiliency is far above a non-military vehicle or platform of equal size and mass.

As befitting his scale, he's rather slow physically, taking great care about how he shifts his size and weight given the much smaller things all around him. Speaking of those smaller things, one of the benefits of having a bipedal platform means he can interact with them in a number of ways, and that includes eating them!

Though his Transport platform (which looks much like an actual plane with limited movement for his 'living' parts) uses his abdomen as a cargo bay, his Social-Industrial platform considers it a stomach - and a refuelling area, with access ports from his mouth, the 'fuel pipe' between his legs, and the 'cargo ramp' under his tail between plated asscheeks... his synthetic anthro form doesn't use an anus. To fall into his belly is to fall into processing, that allows the massive Hercules to emulate his human companions by digesting what he devours. Synthetic, living or otherwise, to land in the otherwise placid aeromorph's gut is an inescapable fate of being chemically melted into fuel for his engines. This is because in humanoid mode, he is generally doing heavy lifting, not cargo transportation.

Personality-wise, Lockheed is very calm and very friendly. His plating in both S-I and Transport modes render him extremely tough and so he doesn't feel threatened by anything around him - one might question why a transport craft needs such protection. It's because he's so slow physically that in times of danger he -has- to be able to soak damage and still get into the air, instead of blowing up in one shot like in a Hollywood movie. He's immensely curious about the living world, only partially being alive himself, what with being an AI core in a synthetic-mechanical frame. It's why they finally let him use his heavy-lifting Industrial frame as a social platform - hence the use of S-I to denote its use as both a social and industrial mechanism.

While he's certainly of military make and has participated in a number of operations that he certainly won't be talking about, no-one is quite sure whether or not the massive aeromorph is here on leave, or whether he's actually retired from the service. One might imagine it'd be hard for a huge Super Hercules to quit, after all!

Unabashedly inspired by Fairchild (with her player's blessing in fact!), this is an extremely rough profile that may or may not see updates in the future.
