Your question is certainly very broad. Anyhow, before joining into the RPG, I would suggest looking at the following links for guidance:
Rules: https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/rpg-rules-and-guidelines-t33652.php
App template: https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/application-template-and-sample-t58649.php
To know which characters have been claimed: https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/character-roster-list-available-and-taken-characters-in-the-rpg--t44883.php
You certainly can look at the accepted applications in the RPG. https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/rpg-character-profiles-f25.php
Hopefully, the links help guide you in the RPG.
Also, in the RPG, they do not like to see signatures in our posts.

So what do I do if the character I want to play isn't listed? I'm leaning on Sunstorm. He isn't listed. Can I write his profile in an app?
Chibi Starscream wrote:Hi. Please tell me everything. What you can and can't do and should and shouldn't do and any advice, tips, etc. Thank you.
Chibi Starscream wrote:Thank you. I do have a question before I start writing...well a few questions really. First off, can I add onto the official biography for my character to add my own events and or changes? Secondly and most concerning, is Sunstorm's radiation. Going strictly by canon, others tend to avoid him the majority of the time for their own safety. However, what if he got some upgrades like better shielding and a way to control solar radiation burts so that I won't have issues interacting with others?
Chibi Starscream wrote:I still want to try as I've spent all my free time the past two days reading and comparing wiki articles about Sunstorm to get him down correctly so that I can write up hos bio in my own words. Of course I wouldn't stray very far at all from the source materials. I just want to make sure I make him fit properly into this version of the TF universe and add enough info so that my character doesn't seem bland and boring. Also if his power needs to be altered or nuked a bit I don't mind as long as it's not nuked so much that there's no point in his special ability (because that's highly annoying and makes me not want to play characters). This is why I want to deviate somewhat from the original idea so that he can still be formidable in battle but not as erratic and hazardous to allies. Foximus, I will show you his app first after I have written it so that we can collab on making it the best it can be, as you originally offered.
Insidious wrote:The Decepticons, and most of the Cybertronian race really, are in a nomadic phase right now since their home world is largely uninhabitable. So in that sense, their vessels are definitely their primary headquarters and bases of operations. But there are also outposts and prisons, like Styx, where the Decepticons also operate. We use them in the game whenever we feel it makes for an interesting setting.
The Thanatos is the largest Decepticon ship in the Earth region, but there are some others, such as the downed Stunticon ship, the Ultrax and the Combaticons ship called the Obliteration, though it's not being used as an rp location currently. Those ships are all part of the first fleet. There are three fleets spread out across the universe. The game currently explores the goings on of the first two and there's some plotting for the third, but that will come later. How many bases are there total? No idea. The Decepticon flagship, the Nemesis, is off in a region of space known as Kol and is part of its own side story at the moment.
As to being ok to post in the recent past for the sample, I don't see why not.

I want to say Dirge and Thrust was with Ramjet a while back when Octane and a couple others did a raid on an oil platform. This was right before I picked up Octane though so might be wrong. A relatively quick search for them in the threads could be a good way to find them via ctrl F.
A question of my own, where can we get ideas for characters and story lines? I know the Unicron Trilogy is mostly off limits as is the Bayverse stuff. The toy line and IDW is coming out with some new takes on old G1 ideas. Then there are the Transformer apps out there with Earth Wars being the major one currently. I know some of the IDW stuff we aren't touching like the Engima of Combination.
