❝ TU SOLUS DOMINUS. ❞You alone are Lord.

  PRE-WAR   For the Cybertron from which Eidos hails, the House Ecclesius is one of the longest lineage of nobility Houses in history. However, by the time he was sparked - the runt of five children, his House was already in disgrace after generations of poor conduct and mismanagement. Eidos was very sickly as a sparkling, and he would’ve become a second-rate noble at best with only a small portion of inheritance, but ambitious as he was, he sabotaged his siblings until he was the sole heir, seizing power of his House with an iron grip.From there, Eidos bonded into the most prominent family of Praxus at the time, and climbed through the ranks of governance until he became the Senator of his home city of Praxus, where he ruled for many centuries. He extended his influence and finances to other cities as well, most notably as the sole patron of many Kaonite gladiatorial fighting pits. He'd just begun to dabble into intergalactic trade and real-estate by the time Megatron started to gain fame as a gladiator. When the war arrived, Eidos escaped Cybertron with his entourage, and ventured deep into the far reaches of space to bide his time.  THE GREAT WAR   Eidos took up residence on Cierran-6, one of the planets he'd purchased and owns, and spent his time building a comfortable place to live for himself and any other Cybertronian nobles seeking refuge. Throughout the duration of the long war, he focused his attention on growing his substantial wealth, and, as the sovereign of Cierran-6, participated in intergalactic politics to both cement his influence on a wider scale and in preparation of his eventual return to Cybertron, once the war has either ceased or died out on its own.  CURRENT   With the War over and Cybertron at precarious peace, Eidos returned to his home planet, bringing many gifts in the form of an abundance of supplies vital to the restoration of the world. With his wealth as leverage, he has begun to rebuild Praxus where it had once stood, and is in the process of establishing Neo Praxus as the first fully functional city on post-war Cybertron. He is aware that his only remaining offspring no longer resides in their home universe, but unlike Tarn, his primary focus is on his own world.

  PERSONALITY    Eidos abhors violence, and thus he always sends his underlings to do the dirty work. He is mild-mannered but tenacious, driven by his self-serving ambitions. He is chaste, ruthless, cunning, and conniving with an immovable will. However, he can be extremely charming when he has reason to be. Like most power-mongering (ex-)Senators, he is uncaring for the well-being of others for the sake of his goal, but he is not needlessly cruel, and he recognizes the importance of kindness where it matters.He is a seasoned actor and manipulator. Unless your muse has suffered his cruelty personally, he seems entirely pleasant and sincere.  FLAWS   
- Classist. Technoist in his staunch belief that Cybertronians are naturally superior and disposed to rule over all other alien races.
- A casual Functionist only when it serves him. He believes lineage and legacy dictates one's position in society rather than one's alt. mode.
- Especially racist against organics.
- Obsessed with gems and expensive fabrics.

❝ A patient that says please, the doctor quicker sees. ❞

  PRE-WAR   Prior to the war, Gyrodyne's life was boringly normal and smooth-sailing. He studied well, went to a prestigious academy, and became a brain module surgeon at Iacon General Hospital. He had a cushy income and a big apartment suite at an expensive part of town, but his busy schedule meant he did not have any relations outside of his job, which left him lonely. It was during this time that his fascination with recycling Cybertronian parts flourished. This led to him getting caught smuggling corpses from the morgue for his 'personal research'. He was then fired from the hospital, and had his license revoked.With no way to practice medicine legally, Gyrodyne started a private underground clinic in Kaon. This was how he caught the attention of Eidos, and he soon found himself employed by the Senator. It was during his time of working as a medic for gladiators that he heard about Megatron and the Decepticon movement. He was immediately swept up by the idea of belonging to a Cause bigger than himself, so he signed on without second thought.  THE GREAT WAR   Despite his lack of combat experience, Gyrodyne often volunteered to go on the front lines as a field medic. His insistence on treating all injured bots, regardless of faction, resulted in many punishments from his immediate commander and bullying from his peers, as they saw his actions as betrayal. He also lacked the skills and vigilance to take care of himself in an active war zone, which led to multiple near deaths and subsequent rescues. He was eventually sent to work for the DJD as their personal medic, as the DJD did not often participate in direct battle.He stayed with the DJD for a long time, but eventually got reassigned to the medibay of an off-world Decepticon base, where he stayed for the rest of the war.  CURRENT   After the announcement that the war is over, Gyrodyne loitered and wandered for some time, unsure if he wanted to return to an Autobot-run Cybertron. The news of Megatron's execution terrified him, causing him to contact Tarn in a panic. He remained with Tarn until now, going so far as to follow the tankformer to another universe. He now resides in Tarn's tower, and works at the newly-built New Kaon General Hospital.To this day, Gyrodyne remains oblivious to Tarn's familial connection with Eidos. He's just happy to work in a hospital again in a world where the 'Cons won.

  PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION   Gyrodyne is a brightly coloured tiny copter who has no fighting prowess whatsoever. His paintjob is borderline gaudy but not too offensive. He often gets mistaken for an Autobot, but he refuses to change his colours. Strictly an essential non-combatant, he is one of the few Decepticons who wear the Iaconian Seal of Medicine upon his wings to indicate exemption from enemy fire, though this did not always ensure his safety.He is light, but not particularly agile, and wounds easily. He isn't streamlined or battle-savvy like Seekers are, and his rotor blades often get in the way of his reflexes. He is not very athletic, and has only survived the war thanks to his colleagues and, later on, being far from the front lines.  PERSONALITY    Gyrodyne is excitable, moody, bubbly, and highly emotional, with a tendency for bursting into tears at the slightest perceived hurtful comment. Ironically, he also has a hard time realizing when he's being threatened or made fun of. Flighty of mind but undoubtedly intelligent, he yearns for long-lasting friendships and forming connections with others. He is very easy to manipulate, and warms up to others instantly. His work as a surgeon and oath as a medic is the only boundary he will never budge on.Quick to trust. Quick to forgive. Can't keep a secret to save his life. If he were charismatic, he probably would've started a cult.  RECYCLISM    Gyrodyne is an avid practitioner and advocator of 'recyclism', a word he made up. It is the belief all Cybertronian parts should be repurposed, even when they cannot be reused through conventional means. Processed energon from corpses is the easiest to recycle. Components such as optics, internal wiring, spark-housing, and other types of innards can be prepared for consumption as well.Gyrodyne has been a part of the recyclist movement since before the war, with himself as the only known member. He staunchly refutes the accusations of cannibalism against him, claiming that is not what he does, but he's gained a reputation as a cannibal anyway. Some rumours even say his personality is the result of eating too many weird things, a notion he finds highly offensive.
