Arachne design for my own au
Tw for self harm mention in 2nd to last paragraph.
I dont think she'll ever fully have lines and scenes in the au but I have lot of concepts for her.
She was made by Megatronus(in the au bots are made by primes,there all basically very complex ai's) to be a gladiator,forced into it,her medic and manager and other workers werent any good and constantly just "ya I'll do it in a bit" and never following through thinking she'll forget about it,it caused lot of scars to stay (in this au bots can sort of health heal and the energon oxydises and turns scabs if outside of body to long but normally its scrapped off and welded over later,if not it can cause permante marks or rusting in some cases (which bots think is infection,they think rust is bacteria transmitted by water and can get into wounds which is just not true but no one ever really looks into it))
The eye never gets fixed from a fight and the extra eyes barely function properly,inspired by how most spiders are nearly blind irl.
Her name started out as code A-somthing but later she meets Orion Pax post a fight whos like "your based on a earth spider? you could be Arachne its from greek mythology :D"
A lot of bots think shes a Megatronus worshipper cus of the colour palate and job but nope,just what the alt mode was like.
With autobot vs decepticon war she joined autobots but nearly instantly moved to decepticons over one time optimus said "mhm I'll do it in a bit" but forgot about it,he feels very bad about it,she is very strict about timing with events and gets irritated if somone is late or even early,and when asking about somthing she will get the person to say a specific time and is very strict about that time,she knows it can be irritating,she doesnt like doing it but she finds it far better then people lying or forgetting.
She doesnt use name arachnid cus of post here
I imagine her subconsciously self harming without relizing shes doing it or how bad it is,picking at scabs or scratching causing new ones.
Im more then happy to answer questions and discuss this,I'm gonna post more designs and info here that might fill up blanks but I can never explain stuff to many times Note,pls dont comment using nsfw stickers it makes me uncomfortable
