IC Information
Character Name: Pharma
Character Canon: Transformers More Than Meets The Eye
Character Age: Lol, Cybertronian- so really old. Acts like a human in their 40s.
Character Gender: Answers to 'he/him' pronouns.
Canon Point: Right after Drift sliced his hands off and he went tumbling to his doom.
Character Canon History: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pharma
Character Personality: Pharma is a good medic gone bad.
One of Pharma’s best traits is his professionalism. He both excels at and enjoys his work, measuring his success by how many lives he can save. He’s well known for his skill with difficult procedures and his willingness to try anything to pull a patient through. Unfortunately, this trait is not as good as it could be because it is in part due to his egotisim. Half of the reason Pharma works so hard seems to be because he enjoys the attention afforded to skilled professionals. He very much wants to be seen as a genius and praised for his work. In the comic, Pharma even goes so far as to wait for Ratchet to catch up with him so he can relate in detail his entire plan, presumably just so he could appreciate his cunning.
Another dark side to his professionalism is his perfectionist and controlling nature. He needs everything to go right because he refuses to ever come out of something looking bad. Putting pressure on himself to succeed, to not lose his clinic, is probably what helped him convince himself to cross the line each time he had to do horrible things to obtain t-cogs. The urge to stay in control is also what likely made him agree to start harvesting cogs in the first place. It seemed like a better deal to him then risking the entire operation. He’s too proud of his intelligence and his reputation to admit he let the entire thing get out of hand. Indeed, Pharma would rather kill everyone in the end then let it be known that he failed.
Above all, the thing that eventually pushes Pharma into bad guy territory is his selfishness. He cared more about his reputation then the lives of the patients he deliberately sacrificed. He thought that doing anything less than keeping his clinic open would make him look amateur in the eyes of his superiors. He should have been able to control everything. Fix everything. And when he couldn’t, his only thought was of saving himself. By the end, he is stopped only by the fear of discovery, instead of any guilt over what he has done. And he even expected Ratchet to understand, if not sympathize with him. Like Prowl often does, Pharma believed he was only doing what had to be done.
Character Abilities: He’s a genius level medic, one of the best in the business. He also seems to be enough of a scientist to create viruses and their cures. As a cybertronian he is able to transform into a jet and has guns built into his body.
Character Inventory: Laser scalpel, Microwelder, Forceps, Diagnostic tool.
Interaction Sample: http://re-alignment.dreamwidth.org/251623.html#comments
Third Person Sample: Pharma paused in his work, listening to the gentle hum of his patient’s internal systems as he stared at the white wall of the surgery room. This was too easy of a procedure for him to pretend to screw up- his reputation as one of the best medics in the field would render that extremely suspicious. But he needed just one more cog for the harvest and he needed it tonight. Considering there wouldn’t be any more surgeries scheduled for at least a day or two. His optics fell to his patient’s unlit counterparts, imagining himself in their place, pinned by the leader of the DJD, his hand inside Pharma’s chassis up to the wrist, fingers curling around his transformation cog. He had to make the delivery.
The jet medic shook his head and went to grab a laser scalpel from the tray next to him. And here he’d thought getting assigned to Delphi would make him famous…. Not infamous. As far as he was concerned, no one could ever find out about what happened here. Even if that involved employing some more extreme measures. He fired up the surgical tool and began to doodle absently on the medical berth as he considered his options. Carbon scoring? No, he’d used that excuse last time. Unforeseen fuel pump blockages? Hn, the last time he had used that one he’d barely been able to keep First Aid from examining the body himself. Something harder to find. Would a fatal spark fluctuation be too dramatic? Probably. Oh well, he’d just have to go with the good old severe t-cog infection excuse. Maybe remark about how the air on this planet must be contributing to the high number of patients coming down with it. Yes.
Pharma raised his scalpel from the autobot symbol he’d been scrawling on the metal berth and set about removing the armor surrounding the patient’s t-cog. He would have to do something sooner or later about First Aid. Get him transferred out perhaps. The mech was far too curious for his own good.

( IC INFORMATION )
name: Pharma
canon: Transformers More Than Meets The Eye
reference: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers:_More_than_Meets_the_Eye and http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pharma_
canon point: Right after First Aid shoots him in the head.
background: background:
Transformers- the story of two robot factions fighting each other endlessly.
On Cybertron, the Transformer home planet, war has split everyone who wishes to fight into two factions: Autobots and Decepticons. Who has the moral high ground is ambiguous, but in general the Autobots claim to be fighting for peace and Decepticons claim to be fighting for release from cybertron’s crappy caste system. Optimus Prime, leader of the autobots, at the beginning of the war acknowledged that society needed to change but he was against doing it through force, instead interested in changing the system from within. On the opposite side, Megatron, a gladiator on the lowest rung of the caste system, was convinced that the only way change could occur would be from the outside- by tearing down the old, corrupt senate. Pharma himself is an Autobot who frequently treats causalities of war. His political views are never discussed but by choosing that side it can be inferred that he doesn't approve of the terrorism and violence the Decepticons are using to try and change the system. In fact, it's made pretty explicit that he /hates/ Decepticons and views them as little more than thugs.
At some point in the war the Autobots decided to set up a mining operation the planet Messatine. Unfortunately, Tarn, the head of the Decepticon Justice Division, later set up camp there and miners were often attacked by Decepticon forces. Not willing to pack up and leave, Autobot command ordered a clinic be set up there called 'Delphi' to tend to the wounded miners and now soldiers who worked in the area. Pharma is the Autobot head surgeon at the facility. Unfortunately, the DJD are no pushovers and it was made quite clear to Pharma that Tarn could crush the clinic at any point in time. So the doctor was forced to make a deal with the head of the DJD to keep the clinic and the mining outpost open. Tarn would leave Delphi alone as long as Pharma continued to supply him with a steady source of t-cogs. The only place to get a t-cog- much like a human organ- is to take it from another cybertronian. Being a doctor at an emergency clinic put Pharma in a unique position to be able to obtain these. Tarn chose this as his bargaining piece as he has an addiction to changing shape that burns out his t-cogs very quickly considering a T-cog is the part of a transformer that allows them to /transform/.
Eventually, as Tarn's quota demands rose, Pharma was driven to do more and more depraved things to fill it. Knowing that he would soon be caught if he did not do something, Pharma decided to engineer a plague that would kill all witnesses and force Autobot Command to close the clinic. His plans were thwarted by a small team of Autobots that were secretly called in by one of his colleagues. Infected and missing his hands, Pharma was left for dead. He was saved eventually by Tyrest who restored his hands and gave him a lab in exchange for working for him.
Before his fall from grace, Pharma was an incredibly well known surgeon, famous for taking on difficult surgeries. Even Ratchet, the Autobot CMO, was considering Pharma for his replacement upon his retirement. His new status as 'Mad Doctor' is only known to a handful so far; the small autobot team that went to investigate Delphi and those that witnessed Pharma's part in Tyrest's evil plan to destroy everyone constructed cold.

And he even expected Ratchet to understand, if not sympathize with him. Like Prowl often does, Pharma believed he was only doing what had to be done.
After his disgrace on Delphi, Pharma seems to have gone full on bonkers. His willingness to sacrifice patients for the greater good has turned into chopping up innocents just to humiliate Ratchet. He is completely onboard with Tyrest's plan to destroy anyone constructed cold, presumably in thanks for giving him new hands (that he claims can turn into anything) and a lab filled with the most advanced medical technology.
When he escapes make-shift imprisonment from the contingent of Autobots on Luna 1 he tries to leave through the portal Tyrest created to a supposed 'Cyberuptopia' but bounces off the 'guilt detecting' forcefield. The field keeping him out of Robot Shangri-La proves that he does feel guilt- but for what, it's not explicitly stated. And it is not made entirely obvious by his behavior. It depends on how you interpret his goading of First Aid to shoot him. Was he really that flippant about his own life and uncaring about the atrocities he had committed? Or did he feel so guilty he was deliberately trying to get First Aid to end his life? Or was he just trying to humiliate First Aid by goading him to violence? It's not clear.
Based on his personality before the breakdown, it is likely a combination of all three. He may feel he deserves death for failing, that one of the cybertronians that ruined him deserves humiliation, and that whatever happens to him now is unimportant anyway because he's already fallen from grace.
powers and abilities:
1. Giant robot that transforms into a jet with guns in his shoulders useable in both modes.
2. Genius level medic able to perform complicated surgery and well versed in teh study of viruses and their cures.
3. Hands that can turn into chainsaws. (He claims they can turn into anything in canon but we have only seen them as chainsaws and I would be okay with that being the nerf to them.)
4. Being a robot medic, some of his tools are incorporated into his hands as well such a finger mounted laser or needle.

infinity gem: Select one of the six Infinity Gems, as detailed here.
For Pharma I think the Time gem is the most appropriate. There is a lot of regret going on for him now that he's finally facing repercussions for his actions. As noted before, Pharma is the kind of person that would rather all witnesses be killed then for someone to see him make a mistake. He went /crazy/ because his perfect world was ruined and I'm sure he would very much like to turn back time and put everything back to the way it was before Tarn and the DJD.

log sample:
Pharma sighs from the shadows, slowly placing his cube back down on the table as the noise level in the room begins to increase. A fight is starting and that makes his lip curl up in disgust. He's only here in the first place because recharge has become difficult to obtain lately and his supply of sedatives is getting low. He has no desire to listen to a fight between two slack-jawed patrons and even less to have to duck thrown bar furniture. He stands up to leave when one of the offending brawlers is knocked straight across his table, sprawled on his back and groaning. Pharma stares for a second and then offers his hand as if to help him out. Except his grip is a little too tight and his grimace of disdain has suddenly become a little smile.
"I think you need to see a doctor," he says with a bizarre chuckle. A needle flicks from the finger on the hand holding the other mech and Pharma calmly slides it into a vein. The stranger jerks with a sharp inhale and rapidly loses consciousness.
"Oh dear. You've knocked him out. I guess that means you win," Pharma informs the second brawler, leaving the limp body to be crowded around by the rest of the patrons as he heads towards the exit. He should be annoyed that his sedative supply is even lower now but the incident has instead reawakened his passion for medical work. Who needs recharge? Surely a genius such as himself had no time to waste in a berth or at a bar. He had miracles to work in his lab. Yes. Miracles such as the world has never seen.

One of Pharma’s best traits is his professionalism. He both excels at and enjoys his work, measuring his success by how many lives he can save. He’s well known for his skill with difficult procedures and his willingness to try anything to pull a patient through.

Most likely, under the new mask of madness, Pharma is probably still the same controlling professional. Just with a few more screws loose.

First Aid.
Let me just start by saying I can see you clearly from my office and the x-ray you just changed your screen to is not what you have been staring at for the past three hours. When you were transferred here I was told that you were a diligent and eager worker. I am aware of the unique stresses this outpost can put on a medic but boredom should not be one of them.
If you must read about heroes going on dangerous adventures I can lend you a copy of the official transcript describing my famous four-way fuel pump transplant. At least you might glean a few medical lessons from that- as opposed to this dramatic ‘Wreckers’ nonsense.
By the way, if I were you, I would be checking on the patient brought in yesterday with the malfunctioning transformation-cog. It may require removal.

*Third Person Sample:
Pharma paused in his work, listening to the gentle hum of his patient’s internal systems as he stared at the white wall of the surgery room. This was too easy of a procedure for him to pretend to screw up- his reputation as one of the best medics in the field would render that extremely suspicious. But he needed just one more cog for the harvest and he needed it tonight. Considering there wouldn’t be any more surgeries scheduled for at least a day or two. His optics fell to his patient’s unlit counterparts, imagining himself in their place, pinned by the leader of the DJD, his hand inside Pharma’s chassis up to the wrist, fingers curling around his transformation cog. He had to make the delivery.
The jet medic shook his head and went to grab a laser scalpel from the tray next to him. And here he’d thought getting assigned to Delphi would make him famous…. Not infamous. As far as he was concerned, no one could ever find out about what happened here. Even if that involved employing some more extreme measures. He fired up the surgical tool and began to doodle absently on the medical berth as he considered his options. Carbon scoring? No, he’d used that excuse last time. Unforeseen fuel pump blockages? Hn, the last time he had used that one he’d barely been able to keep First Aid from examining the body himself. Something harder to find. Would a fatal spark fluctuation be too dramatic? Probably. Oh well, he’d just have to go with the good old severe t-cog infection excuse. Maybe remark about how the air on this planet must be contributing to the high number of patients coming down with it. Yes.
Pharma raised his scalpel from the autobot symbol he’d been scrawling on the metal berth and set about removing the armor surrounding the patient’s t-cog. He would have to do something sooner or later about First Aid. Get him transferred out perhaps. The mech was far too curious for his own good.

Character Information
*Character Name: Pharma
*Character Canon: IDW MTMTE
*Age: Lol, Cybertronian- so really old.
*Race: Cybertronian
*Timeline/Pull Point: His previous pull point was from when Drift cut his hands off- he's coming back canon updated so it will now be from right after First Aid blew his head off.
*History: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pharma
*Personality: Pharma is a good medic gone bad.
One of Pharma’s best traits is his professionalism. He both excels at and enjoys his work, measuring his success by how many lives he can save. He’s well known for his skill with difficult procedures and his willingness to try anything to pull a patient through.
Unfortunately, this trait is not as good as it could be because it is in part due to his egotisim. Half of the reason Pharma works so hard seems to be because he enjoys the attention afforded to skilled professionals. He very much wants to be seen as a genius and praised for his work. In the comic, Pharma even goes so far as to wait for Ratchet to catch up with him so he can relate in detail his entire plan, presumably just so he could appreciate his cunning.
Another dark side to his professionalism is his perfectionist and controlling nature. He needs everything to go right because he refuses to ever come out of something looking bad. Putting pressure on himself to succeed, to not lose his clinic, is probably what helped him convince himself to cross the line each time he had to do horrible things to obtain t-cogs. The urge to stay in control is also what likely made him agree to start harvesting cogs in the first place. It seemed like a better deal to him then risking the entire operation. He’s too proud of his intelligence and his reputation to admit he let the entire thing get out of hand. Indeed, Pharma would rather kill everyone in the end then let it be known that he failed.
Above all, the thing that eventually pushes Pharma into bad guy territory is his selfishness. He cared more about his reputation then the lives of the patients he deliberately sacrificed. He thought that doing anything less than keeping his clinic open would make him look amateur in the eyes of his superiors. He should have been able to control everything. Fix everything. And when he couldn’t, his only thought was of saving himself. By the end, he is stopped only by the fear of discovery, instead of any guilt over what he has done. And he even expected Ratchet to understand, if not sympathize with him. Like Prowl often does, Pharma believed he was only doing what had to be done.
Update: From his new pull point, Pharma seems to have gone full on bonkers. His willingness to sacrifice patients for the greater good has turned into chopping up innocents just to humiliate Ratchet. The field keeping him out of Robot Shangri-La proves that he does feel guilt- for what, it's not explicitly stated. And it is not made entirely obvious by his behavior. It depends on what way you take his goading of First Aid to shoot him. Was he really that flippant about his own life and uncaring about the atrocities he had committed? Or did he feel so guilty he was deliberately trying to get First Aid to end his life? It's not clear. Most likely, under the new mask of madness, Pharma is probably still the same controlling professional. Just with a few more screws loose.
*Powers/Abilities: He’s a genius level medic, one of the best in the business. He also seems to be enough of a scientist to create viruses and their cures.
*Inventory: Laser scalpel, Microwelder, Forceps, Diagnostic tool.
*Starting Polarity: He was Liege's before.

World Information:
Transformers- the story of two robot factions fighting each other endlessly.
Cybertron- The Transformer home planet. War has split everyone who wishes to fight into two factions: Autobots and Decepticons. Who has the moral high ground is ambiguous, but in general the Autobots claim to be fighting for peace and Decepticons claim to be fighting for release from cybertron’s crappy caste system. Optimus Prime, leader of the autobots, at the beginning of the war acknowledged that society needed to change but he was against doing it through force, instead interested in changing the system from within. On the opposite side, Megatron, a gladiator on the lowest rung of the caste system, was convinced that the only way change could occur would be from the outside- by tearing down the old, corrupt senate.
The DJD (Decepticon Justice Division)- A group of five mechs created by Megatron to hunt down and punish any Decepticons exhibiting treasonous behavior. All five members are named after cities on Cybertron and possess different horrific methods of torture. Tarn is their leader and he has an addiction to changing shape that puts a lot of stress on his t-cog.
T-cog - transformation cog- the part of a transformer that allows them to change from alt mode to root mode.
Delphi- A clinic on the world of Messatine where Pharma is the head surgeon. Also located on Messatine is a mining operation, one mine of which the clinic is nearby. After the war broke out the planet was declared DJD territory. Pharma made a deal with Tarn, the head of the DJD, to keep the clinic and the mining outpost open. Tarn would leave the autobots on Messatine alone as long as Pharma continued to supply him with a steady source of t-cogs. The only place to get a t-cog- much like a human organ- is to take it from another cybertronian. Being a doctor at an emergency clinic put Pharma in a unique position to be able to obtain these.

And he even expected Ratchet to understand, if not sympathize with him. Like Prowl often does, Pharma believed he was only doing what had to be done.
Abilities, Weaknesses, and Power Limitations:
First of all, he is a giant robot with guns in his shoulders that turns into a jet. So a size change would likely be necessary. Secondly, he’s a genius level medic, one of the best in the business. He also seems to be enough of a scientist to create viruses and their cures.
Admittedly, he knows next to nothing about organic medicine, so it’s doubtful he could use his professional skills to help or harm anyone that isn’t robotic.

By the way, if I were you, I would be checking on the patient brought in yesterday with the malfunctioning transformation-cog. It may require removal.

*Third Person Sample:
Pharma paused in his work, listening to the gentle hum of his patient’s internal systems as he stared at the white wall of the surgery room. This was too easy of a procedure for him to pretend to screw up- his reputation as one of the best medics in the field would render that extremely suspicious. But he needed just one more cog for the harvest and he needed it tonight. Considering there wouldn’t be any more surgeries scheduled for at least a day or two. His optics fell to his patient’s unlit counterparts, imagining himself in their place, pinned by the leader of the DJD, his hand inside Pharma’s chassis up to the wrist, fingers curling around his transformation cog. He had to make the delivery.
The jet medic shook his head and went to grab a laser scalpel from the tray next to him. And here he’d thought getting assigned to Delphi would make him famous…. Not infamous. As far as he was concerned, no one could ever find out about what happened here. Even if that involved employing some more extreme measures. He fired up the surgical tool and began to doodle absently on the medical berth as he considered his options. Carbon scoring? No, he’d used that excuse last time. Unforeseen fuel pump blockages? Hn, the last time he had used that one he’d barely been able to keep First Aid from examining the body himself. Something harder to find. Would a fatal spark fluctuation be too dramatic? Probably. Oh well, he’d just have to go with the good old severe t-cog infection excuse. Maybe remark about how the air on this planet must be contributing to the high number of patients coming down with it. Yes.
Pharma raised his scalpel from the autobot symbol he’d been scrawling on the metal berth and set about removing the armor surrounding the patient’s t-cog. He would have to do something sooner or later about First Aid. Get him transferred out perhaps. The mech was far too curious for his own good.
Final Notes: Can Pharma come in infected with the red rust plague he invented? And also no hands? X3
