Onyx Thunder

**Onyx Thunder** is a male Thestral who is an inventor that discovered Thomas when he was hiding from the Terrorist Group, Executioner Dusk.

## Bio

Soon enough, Onyx would eventually hit a turning point in his life. In which while meeting up with ????, at a location in the the sub-town area where he comes to an old mechanic shop, where they come across an old, rusty, badly worn LMS Fowler Class 3F tank engine. Where he steps into the cab, he finds several bullet casings and a mortal shell among the coal bunker. Finding it could be a good investment, so he talks to the owner and purchases it. Then had the tank engine delivered to his home, in the country area, Lumina is busy cleaning a truck when she sees her father arrive with the tank engine. Fascinated, she comes over as the tank engine is hauled into the garage/workshop. Upon coming up to him, she questions about the tank engine, where Onyx explains he's gonna strip all the good parts out of it for prophet and maybe even use the body for something new, like maybe making a generator or water pump. Lumina finds it troubling as their fundings haven't been on their side for their time. But Onyx assures this time it will all change since it's a tank engine. But when he leaves the shop at one point, he finds Lumina is being made fun of by her enemies, Vipera and Cobrina. Not before both the snakes notice him, states he told them several times to stay off his property unless he says so and leave Lumina alone several times already. Vipera then states they were just leaving, but Onyx doesn't buy it since he saw Cobrina clearing doing taunt singing. He then says he's gonna take a new step to get the point across to them, telling them to stay put and walks back to his workshop. The 2 Serpentine use this moment to make a run for it.

Inside the workshop, Onyx takes down a shotgun from above his tool rack then pours out a box of shotgun shells onto the table which he loads up. Then walks out of the workshop as Vipera and Cobrina are hiding near a broken down car, Vipera sees Onyx through the glass, where Cobrina panicking tries to reason with Onyx, but Vipera states he's gonna shoot them, which Cobrina denies until Vipera sees Onyx take aim and quickly shoves Cobrina out of the way as Onyx fires, blasting the window out. Lumina calls out to her father while she chases after him while the Serpentine flee just as Onyx calls out: "Make your peace with your spirits, Snakey girls!". He follows behind while Lumina calls out to him, saying what he's doing isn't funny. Vipera and Cobrina then start slithering up the outside staircase of the workshop as ???? asks if it's a serious thing, which Onyx confirms. Before ???? warns Onyx that if he kills the serpentine, their father will sue his butt off. But Onyx explains he's not trying to kill them he's gonna shoot their tails off. But when Vipera and Cobrina are in his sights again, Lumina quickly flies onto the roof of their house, telling him to put his shotgun down, stating he's acting crazy. Onyx tells her move away while Lumina states he can't handle all her issues for her. Which Onyx accepts before telling her to clear out, which she flies off with Vipera shouting down to him it's not funny anymore as Onyx fires, the pellets ricocheting off the paneling of the workshop. Leading the 2 to zip-line down from a cable hooked to the roof, with Onyx walking over to their spot, as Cobrina sacredly asks him to calm down, not before Onyx fires with the shotgun blowing away a broken panel on the post the cable is attached to. Vipera then tells him to stop as she just wants to talk before saying that she and Cobrina were just joking around and they only came onto his property to see his next project cause it's cool to see him build things. But Onyx tells them, that's the wrong answer as he shoots out the broken light above the post, where Cobrina cries out and falls to the ground grabbing her tail just Lumina comes running up. Cobrina states he shot her, but Vipera takes a look to find the shot only grazed her tail, it never penetrated. While Vipera assures they won't go onto his land again without his permission as they both leave then Vipera makes Cobrina swear to not share what Onyx did to their father as they brought the shooting on themselves. Which Cobrina agrees as she states she hopes the graze isn't permanent.

After the 2 leave, Lumina asks if shooting them was really necessary as Onyx says sometimes if you wanna get the point across to someone, you just use a gun, except for law enforcement or someone with the Republic army. He then goes back to the workshop before telling Lumina if the snake girls do come back and ask to see the project he's working, then he'll allow it, as long as they don't insult her or him. While attempting to salvage any working parts to sell, Onyx realized it's actually a badly-damaged Trainsformer. He shares this discover with Lumina and ????, Lumina is shocked and in awe and plans to brag about it to Vipera and Cobrina while ???? believes they should report it to the authorities. Onyx convinced them not to call the authorities until he could spend more time working on the engine, as he could stumble on a technological breakthrough if he could figure out how the Trainsformers work. When Onyx removed a live missile from the engine's "power core," it transformed into the Trainbot leader Thomas Brillington. The badly damaged Trainbot roared in a fit of rage while waving a shotgun but Onyx managed to calm the disoriented Trainsformer. Onyx questioned why Thomas was so badly damaged, to which he replied that he was ambushed and that the Trainbots are being hunted and he must help them. Onyx began to repair him, and sent ???? to buy the parts that would help him fix Thomas, who wondered why Onyx would help him, to which Onyx responded because he trusts him too. The two began to bond as they discussed their lives.

Soon afterwards, Executioner Dusk, the group hunting the Trainbots, came to the farm looking for Thomas. Onyx almost convinced them to leave until he accidentally referred to the truck as "He" rather than "it". Davis Garret, the violent leader of the group, had the agents turn their guns on the Thunders and threatened to shoot Lumina. As 2 of them also grabbed Vipera and Cobrina. Onyx watched in horror as Garrett threatened her, as did the 2 serpentine, but timing it just right, Vipera quickly bit the leg of the solider holding her down, her venom making it drop instantly, as she quickly slunk away to the workshop where she grabbed Onyx's firearms just as Davis was about to kill Lumina until they were saved by Thomas, who burst from the barn and attacked the soldiers. As Vipera quickly threw Onyx his shotgun and a revolver, who then started shooting down all the soldiers he could when suddenly, a pick-up truck came driving in hitting several of the soldiers before coming to a stop where a T-850 emerged and also joined the firefight. But at the same time, another Terminator, a T-X started hacking into several of the vehicles of Executioner Dusk.

### Personality

Onyx is a caring individual who is not the most responsible father in the world, his most redeeming quality is that when it comes to keeping his daughter safe, he does not go back on his word, no matter what; a promise he made to his bride before she passed away. He does have a creative and optimistic mind, lending it to building all kinds of inventions to make a good business out of. Sadly, none of these inventions have brought in much profit for his family. Knowing all of the opportunities he lost, he has sworn not to let history repeat itself, which is probably why he disapproves of Lumina dating boys before she graduates from high school. Moreover, if she should have a relationship, he wishes to get to know the male, in particular, to see if they are good enough for Lumina. But at other times, Onyx is a bit quick-tempered at times. Sometimes taking things a bit too extreme to make a point, like when he chased Lumina's former rivals Vipera and Cobrina with a shotgun, (but he claims he wasn't trying to kill them, rather take the ends of their tails off).

Since he hasn't really followed anything in the Jedi, Je'Daii, and Sith Wars, Onyx didn't grasp the gravity of the serious trouble the Republic would have if all the Trainbots were killed off. Or just how much of a dangerous thug Rade Vane was. But after seeing Railway Company Men, Nathan Dan was willing to let the Buffalo Tribe of Appleloosa be murdered just for the sake of ridding Trainsformers and obtaining Energy Crystals, he changes his outlook and agrees to help all the way. He also witnessed Vipera and Cobrina apologize to Lumina for their mean ways to her and him, and confession of their jealousy, now no longer seeing them as annoying snake girls, but misunderstood gals who wanted to be accepted, like him.
