ORIGIN PLAYBOOK: My Alien Heritage

 

One of a Kind: 

you are different from the people of Earth, answer the questions to set some guidelines about how different you are from humans. Whenever you get yourself into trouble owing to your differences with normal people (whether it by personality, appearance, genetic or base instincts), you may recover from one Condition when you consult a team member about the difficulties and differences you experienced. 

-Do you need to eat? No, but I need Energon to continue operating.

-Do you thrive in an environment that a human cannot survive in? Yes, I do not need to breathe.

-Do you dream? What is your purpose? Cybertronians do not need to sleep. My purpose is to protect the weak from the dangerous.
