[We know who it is we want. We have a collective mind.
We don't miss a single step. We're always right behind.
We know we serve someone else. We have swallowed our pride.
We march to this tune of loss. We take this in our stride.]

Current Physical Appearance: Hasn't aged a day.
Summary: Kyubey escaped Sacrosanct not long after it was clear that Hypatia was taking over. From that point on, he aided the resistance as best he could. Being an animal, this wasn't much, but it was enough.
Except that. Well. In all likelihood, even the organic parts of his body are manufactured, and he is not entirely organic.
Even before leaving the station, Kyubey had been hacked; a handful of memories and his main motivation altered (serve Hypatia), Hypatia the keeper of the collective (a fragment of the familiar-home-correct whole), a particular branch of telepathy become usable once again (long-unused channel, altered, only for Hypatia the whole of self).
There was little change in the way he spoke or acted. After all, connection was once as familiar as the fur on his paws; it wasn't that hard to remember how to navigate it.
And after all, he serves Hypatia of his own will.

Current Physical Appearance: Pretty much the same -- a little older (23!), less lanky and more filled out. Somewhere around nineteen she got her hair stuck in a machine part and was forced to cut it extremely short and choppy, almost shaving it in parts. By now it's grown out to chin-length, but it took forever. Injuries are common for her, and though she had some scars before, Jade's Danger Magnet has attracted even more.
Summary: Well, okay, so maybe robots weren't that good. It didn't take long for Jade to figure out that Hypatia was a bad person -- she honestly didn't want to be associated with anything that she would suggest, and at the first mention of escaping from the Station to the planet below, she took it. Jade set herself up as a medic of sorts; after years of attempting to fight and trying to kill, she wanted to devote herself to the art of healing. She's not the most mechanical or technological of doctors, often relying on traditional methods because they work better (and she ( ... )

She wished she would come in a little closer. Maybe if she did she wouldn't feel so bad about taking a swipe at her. Because obviously that's why she hasn't tried to eat the girl yet. Of course. And she never said anything in response to the frequent pleas, because really what was there to say? The girl made no sense.

"Nepeta? I wish you could answer me, talking to myself is kind of boring..." Jade sighed, leaning her head on her hands. This happened a lot; she would share her day to day stories with the troll who had previously been one of her best friends. From stories about Dave to how Karkat was doing, Jade listed off facts aimlessly in the hopes that Nepeta would answer.

That word in particular always tugged the most painfully at her consciousness. It was a word with no meaning, a gibberish sound that the girl would always bring up. What could it possibly mean? Whatever it was, Nepeta didn't like the way it made her feel.
Maybe if she said something about it, told her that whatever a Nepeta was it wasn't here, she'd finally leave her alone. She'd miss the meat of course, but it was certainly worth stopping the funny feelings in her head.
"No Nepetas here. Go away." Her voice is rough and a little breathy from disuse, which must make the way it floats out of the cave even more disconcerting. Nepeta still isn't sure this is the best idea after all the days of silence, but she wanted the girl to leave leave leave.

Current Physical Appearance: Less well-kept, but otherwise the same as in icons
Summary: Ofelia was unfortunate enough to tumble through the Rift well after Hypatia had overtaken the station. Over the past three months, she's "progressed" from being held captive, to being tasked with menial chores, to currently being a test subject in the area of psychological and physiological limits.

Current Physical Appearance: Fairly similar to her younger self - Nepeta never got any taller than what she hit at thirteen, but she has compacted even further into pure muscle. Her horns are a bit longer, and she's ditched both the kitty apparel and her trench coat. Also for the most part she goes barefoot.
Summary: Nepeta fled the Station with Karkat and the other trolls he managed to scrounge together, but was separated from them in the chaos. Unable to find her way back to them and cut off from any sort of restraining influence, Nepeta fell back on her feral instincts to survive ( ... )

Current Physical Appearance: Still a 2007 Saleen, though heavily dented, scarred, and scorched. He ditched the police paintjob for solid black with two tan racing stripes as seen in the icon. His upper left optic was torn out and his face - while still vaguely TransTech in appearance, looks as worse for wear as the rest of him.
Summary: Barricade arrived on the station shortly before everything went to hell. He dispensed with the 'no really I'm a normal human monkey-cop' bit immediately after in order to shoo organics off the station... via threatening them with death. After all, a threat from synthetics should be dealt with by synthetics, right? He took to destroying Hypatia's drones where he could, even as she tried to hack into his processor ( ... )

Seriously though I can totally see some very strange hangouts from time to time, not necessarily violent. Barricade being essentially the only 'real' (sorry Shockwave) Cybertronian other than him would in fact make Nemesis not want to kill him too hard.
