Earthspark Radio and Thunderstrike! Two bots doing their best to survive in a very hostile and struggling world <3
Cautious, clever and charming, it's no wonder Thunderstrike has survived in this harsh world as long as he has. His ability to outsmart the bots around him and carefully gauge the risk of all attempts to get fuel make him quite the survivor. A known neutral who used to make speeches of how such a horrible unnecessary war would tear apart their home, when the war got violent and casualties starting piling up Thunderstrike found himself caught in the chaos of a home now covered in blood and the dead frames of his loved ones. He was in the middle of it all and his mind did not come out unscathed, despite his talents Thunderstrike still doesn't know why it had to be Him to come out alive, why he deserved life more than the others around him... The obvious answer is he really didn't... But he can't trouble himself with those thoughts too often now, he now had a daughter to take care of. While he never intended to suddenly find himself a father Thunderstrike does the best he can to make sure she doesn't end up like the others.
She can't end up like the others, she just can't...
Radio is a young excitable and very curious Terran! With wide eyes and even wider ears this little bat is ready to take to the skies and learn to fly... Only for Thunderstrike to tell her it's far too dangerous to. Yes Radio feels like most young girls her age do, ready to see the world, to see adventure, she's not wanting to leave the nest, just get her first chance to truly fly, but at every turn she is faced with Thunderstrike shaking his head and pleading with her to go back to the safety of their home. She listens of course, she loves her father and trusts him on that sort of thing, but it's frustrating, is this truly the way all kids her age are meant to live? And if the war is over why does it weigh on Thunderstrike's mind so heavily?
Why can't everyone just move on and forget such a horrible thing? Can't they all just get along...
