Character Information

Lore:
Flamespin used to be a Guardian. However, after he accidentally caused a forest fire on a mission, his allies began to whisper about and distrust him due to his destructive capabilities. Flamespin tried to ignore it, but after some of his allies betrayed him and threw him into the ocean from a helicopter (an event he only narrowly survived as a civilian saw and rescued him), he had enough; killing those who had betrayed him and defecting from the Guardians to join a bot named Shockwave Jerbolan.

Personality:
Flamespin is a hothead, easy to provoke and enrage. Built specifically for battle, he doesn't know how to do much else, which means he's kind of a wallflower and has difficulty taking part in conversations during downtime. He greatly admires Shockwave Jerbolan and her cold, controlled personality, and tries to emulate it (though he fails, due to getting provoked so easily).

Although Flamespin is fine with killing Guardians, believing they were all in on his murder attempt, the same doesn't apply to civilians - he doesn't like innocents getting involved, and refuses to take part in attacks aimed at civilian areas. He has shut his empathy down as much as he can, but guilt still pokes through at such times. He can also be talked down from fighting, but he's too loyal to Jerbolan to ever betray her.

Physical notes:
The black-and-yellow-striped parts of his body, along with the inside of his mouth, are horribly hot at all times(about 2000 F), while the rest of his body is warm enough to be uncomfortable but not burn. He can raise his body heat to 2000 F if he wants, however, and often does so in battle. As well, he has a variety of fire-based melee attacks and moves, and if wounded 'bleeds' a somewhat sticky, flammable substance, making him dangerous to fight in close quarters.

Flamespin has to remain at a high temperature at all times, as he runs on a heat-based power core. Being forcibly cooled down is going to weaken him, and losing heat too fast (by, say, falling into the ocean) can crack or even break the core due to the sudden temperature changes.

His "paws" are more like paw-colored little paddles, so there are no bendable digits on them. As well, his legs are not made for turning or walking normally, so Flamespin will hop if he wants to turn or get somewhere fast. He can also create bursts of fire from his soles to create a speed boost.

Other notes:
Despite what Flamespin thinks, the other Guardians are unaware he was betrayed, having been told he was KIA.
Since his hot temperature can easily burn others, he avoids moving too close to other people and prefers having a bit of personal space.
He has a limited sense of taste, and can only eat oil/fuel. Despite this, he doesn't actually like the taste at all...
He can't be hurt by fire, so one of his roles as a Guardian was to enter burning areas and locate/rescue anyone trapped inside.
He is unable to cry.
While he is mostly depicted using his whole soles, he's equally good with standing on his toe tips. Depends on how active he's being, really - it's easier to get moving fast when doing the latter.
He is not good with stairways. At all.
