“

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

”

Veritas Prime is proud, strong, and self-willed. She comes across as cocky, foul-mouthed, hard-drinking, and hard-living. Beneath that she conceals a depth of kindness and loving, a nobility and generosity that rises in the protection of the small things and Cybertron itself. She has dreams of lands and dominions that could be her own to order as she would. Yet deeper still she is noble and generous, harboring a reverence for life that she can't forget, equal parts compassion and killer. Veritas believes that the war itself is an illusion of honor and law, a coward's escape from facing the problems and difficulties that can arise when attempting a true and equitable peace. Sensitive to the harmonics of polis, people, and planet, she walks through an existence that is never completely silent nor truly dark, seeing, sensing, hearing things that simply do not exist for many. She finds herself feeling adrift in a world where truth, even her own, is subject to perception and great gaps of knowledge and information, and her own place at fitting in is subject to others' interpretations and rules. Understanding the absolute seductive nature of power and absolute power, she works to learn her own personal limitations.

Sep 17 - Dispelling Rumors[]

A masked and visored helm in subtle opalescent hues of white flickers into view, wherever they are, the background has been blurred to some degree and the signal masked and bounced.

Greetings. *voice a soft alto, sensory 'finials' on each side of her helm spanning and flexing with tiny twitches.*

There have been rumors and misinformation that has been brought to my attention and I'm here to dispel what I can. Yes, I'm a bartender at The RollOut. Apprentice bartender part time. Also part time caravan guard when I can get the work.

What I am also is a Prime. Not one of the legendary 13, no. But as more rumors are broken and spun outwards into threads of distrust, misinformation, and outright malice, after some deliberation, and in the better interests of Cybertron, I am coming forward with this.. claim.

Some will continue to call false, call thief, call liar and I invite them to discuss concerns with me personally. I have no office hours, I keep no entourage, I have no followers, nor home, nor minions.

I call Cybertron my home and my geas to defend and protect. I ask only that I be given time for this mantle to settle, this newness to lose the sharp edges, for me to understand why I am here, and what I am to do.

Thank you.
