Obsidian

*“Obsidian, Obliterate!”*

**Obsidian** is a Vehicon-type Accelera Drones and Commander of the Copter drones. Before becoming a Vehcion, he was once known as **Kayton Deuce**, a great and respected military general of the Gaia Union before defected to Earth to serve the Racing Drones under the leadership of Gelorum as one of her Vehicon Generals.

## Appearance

### Human

When he was a human as Deuce, he was tall and athletic built with light tanned skin, wild red hair and dark green eyes.

### Robot-Mode

Obsidian’s robots mode has a sinister appearance, a mix of blue and grey, its 'head' was at the same level of its shoulders with an insect and turret shaped 'face' with green glowing 'eyes'. It had wings attached to the back with twin rotors spinning, grey panels on its chest and the lower half consisting of the 'legs' fused together with what looked like a clawed tail at the very bottom. He had no 'hands' but at the end were tendril like fingers that retract to form a plasma cannon to fire.

## Personality

Obsidian is unique as he and his fellow drone known as Strika were given enhanced strategic programming, making him more sophisticated and canny, able to concoct strategies with layers upon layers but like his fellow drones he has a single purpose: carry out the orders of his leader. He is loyal to Gelorum and perhaps to his fellow drone Strike and no one else After saving his life from a tragic accident due to the failure of an RP military project. Obsidian considers the Racing Drones as an example of a strong army compared to the limits of a living being.

Unlike his bombastic aerial counterpart Jetstorm, Obsidian plans ahead and waits for the right opportunity to strike any enemy his master designates.

Before he was converted into a Vehicon, Obsidian had a strong disdain towards the Gems for what they are and the history between them and his people, even towards his own or anyone who wished to pursue peace with their enemies, this includes their distant counterparts in the Special Zone who in his belief are traitors to their own races.

## Biography

### Origin

In his life as a human, Khartoum Deuce was once a great general to the Gaia Union served the military with pride, until the day he visited the council and hearing about them following the ideals of the United Stellar Alliance to pursue peace with the Gem Empire to change their ways than destroy them. This angered the general who believed the Gems will never accept change, and even worse using the machines built from the inspiration of the Paladins of Voltron to train civilians with no experience of combat as part of the peacekeeping forces such as the S-Force. He tried to persuade the council to change their minds and believe whatever caused the Gems to leave Earth other than the Rebellion could be the key to their downfall, but councillors such as Zardavia objected to this, especially his consideration of using the Grimm. He was relieved of duty and angered by their decision, vowing to make them regret their decision.

At some point after leaving the military, Obsidian somehow reached Earth to study the abilities they used to survive the Grimm for thousands of years, infiltrated one of military ranks with a fake file and offered them in exchange for the chance of upgrading their technology and military To stand a better chance against Grimm, or other hostile forces the Union and the Stellar Alliance had fought. But one day during an experiment, a military general decided to go forward with the plan desbite Obsidian’s warnings until it was too late. Presumed to have died from severe injuries but was saved and brought to someone by the Racing Drones, the leader of the drones was known as Gelorum. In exchange for saving him, he was offered to serve as one of her Generals to lead the drones and the new line of machines called “Vehicons”. Did not object and familiar with the drones from the history records, he accepted and willing to abandon his organic body for a stronger and powerful form.

### Vehicons

Obsidian was part of Gelorum latest models of drones from observing the latest developments of the warriors on Earth and transferred the data files of their skills and abilities into the development of the new generals. However, in need to control the new Vehicon army that lack the intelligence or the preservation to operate, she needed generals of advanced units to command them and for the Copter drones, Obsidian was created to command them with a strong intelligence and strategy to use them. Possibly used living beings to transfer their minds into the Generals to make them unique and powerful.

As Thrust, Jetstorm and Tankor were giving tasks to prove themselves to Gelorum by attacking the Digimon known as Omnimon, both Obsidian and Strika were given the task to attack the Crystal Gems and tested the weapons against them, including Fusions but while scanning them for threat possibility, they discovered Steven Universe, a human child with Gem genetic traits which was considered impossible but not only that, they have discovered it was the gem of Pink Diamond herself who was thought to have been destroyed by the Crystal Gems thousands of years ago. They fought the Gems along with Greg Universe and Johnny Bravo who were with them, the two generals were able to outsmart their opponents after using Gem Destablizer weapons on Garnet, forcing her to split into Ruby and Sapphire. Obsidian and Strika were about to finish the rest off until the sudden arrival of Major Glory came to the group's aide. Knowing the hero as a dangerous threat and not strong enough to fight him, the two generals make a retreat back to base through the Ground Bridge to deliver their report to their leader.

### Next Phase

As the Generals returned from their missions and revealed new knowledge to Gelorum, proven themselves worthy as her Generals and revealed that Pink Diamond faked her shattering, taken the identity of Rose Quartz who started the Rebellion against the Gem Empire and was fused with her human child, which was unexpected but proved her theory of how they fought well against the Diamonds. Given a new mission for the next phase, this time with an army to command of their own: attacking both the Gem Homeworld to allow their allies to 'rescue' the Elementals from the Gems and attack the Hall of Justice. Sending their Vehicon drones along with Cree Lincoln, Wally Beatles, and Mr. Roboto to scout the planet and locate the Elementals before sending their forces in for a surprise attack, however, an unexpected turn of events during the battle between the Diamonds and the heroes created a powerful blast that caused a rupture of the space bridge, destroying the drones before they could begin their plans.

### Acceleracers

Obsidian, along with many of the drones resumed their mission to retrieve the Wheel of Power from Hot Wheels City before Peter Tezla could and take over the city as their base of operations. The Vehicon General among many his fellow drones used the Wheel to enter the Racing Realms and win to each Accelecharger to gain more power. He was informed of Tezla's return and recruited drivers to challenge the Racing Drones; Teku, Metal Maniacs, and Burners.

Unaware of Solomon of G3 was investigating Gelorum revealed his identity and origins to the Center’s director M.O.M. and Jerry Lewis of WOOHP, along with the rest of the Vehicon Generals who have associated with Gelorum.
