Player: TealDeer Character: Chris Starsky / Starscream Reason for Echo: Going after some Blood Keys after they mug her beloved uncle (IN THE FUTURE) (SOON) Type and tier: Tier 2, Memories / Personality Change What is returned: Chris will first off get back memories of the five million year long Third Cybertronian War
Unfortunately, we know JACK SHIT about this in canon, save that it was brutal, bloody, killed something like 99% of the planet's population (no, seriously) and ended with Cybertron a barren wasteland.
Human brains are not designed to handle five fucking million years worth of memories. Chris will thus not actually be able to comprehend all this -- the memories are there (in the bits of her soul that have become a Spark) but not really accessible as a coherent whole. She'll know that:
> She was a Decepticon, in her mind an embattled rebel faction fighting the status quo against a tyrannical and oppressive somebody-or-other, and that toward the end, they were winning. > Pieces of horrible, horrible bloodshed. Well, energon-shed, but the memories will be about the same as anyone who's been in a horrific war. > This war was what left Cybertron a wasteland (she knows this from a previous Echo) > A horrific sense of a totally incomprehensible abyss of time. five million years is really long.
All of this won't be something that happens all the time, because to be honest she's going to try not to think about it. Every so often though, she's going to alternately feel way too old, and yet simultaneously like she's way, way too young (twenty-eight years? that's NOTHING.)
In addition to this, and adding on to her already increased sense of bravery/foolhardiness, Chris will obtain a very disconcerting disconnect from the act of killing. It'll seem totally, completely mundane and routine to her.
OBVIOUSLY this won't happen until she encounters the Blood Keys, as planned in ~the future~
This will end in the deaths of some Blood Keys. I do so love consequences.
