Profile:

Her and her sister, Whitefire are the oldest members of ‘The Creed of the Phoenix & the Dragon’.

Although how old is unknown, some people say these girls were around when the era of the Golden Age of Cybertron started. Others say the girls were around before the robots learned the art of transformation.

And others still say that they’re as old as the Primes themselves. The latter being too impossible to believe, but the fact the twins can speak an old Cybertronian dead language and their vast information of Cybertron’s past (some of which seem like firsthand experiences) seems to support the fact. Although, before they changed both their looks and transformations, they did look like an ancient and early form of Transformer. This also supports the latter theory.

But when questioned about this they refuse to speak about it and have said that they have changed their names and appearances so many times over the years that they have forgotten their original birth names.

Much like Phoenixfire, Draco, Katrina, Snapdragon, Rakatan and Havana, no record exist of their birth or education, but unlike the former, records do exist of where they worked up until the war.

Curiously enough, they worked in the same place as Optimus Prime, the Hall Of Records in Iacon City as Alpha Trion’s personal data assistants.

According to the females Alpha Trion was left as their parental guardian after their mother was murdered and their father went missing eons ago.

When the war broke out, the twins tried to stay with Alpha Trion. Until a yet un-talked about event forced the girls to flee Iacon. Then when Optimus started testing out the idea of hybrid Transformers the girls approached us and volunteered for the tests.

They were the only successful results without terrible and unspeakable side-effects.

When the two ‘Shifter’ females arrived, her sister Whitefire was designing a type of warrior based on her designs, showing them off to Optimus at the time. The two Shifters saw the designs, scanned them and transformed into them, much to everyone’s shock.

Shortly after Optimus formed the Special Forces group, ‘The Creed of the Phoenix and the Dragon’.

To this day they are still members.

On the personal side, Blackfire is the lone wolf of the two, often sealing herself away from the rest of the Creed to design or forge in weapons.

Although Whitefire can create weapons, she hasn’t got the same... What’s the word I’m looking for...? Oh yeah, spark of creation as Blackfire has.

It seems that Blackfire can turn her hand to anything and create a weapon out of anything. Her ‘gift’ has been talked about many times over the years in both the Autobots and Decepticons and thus she’s respected on both sides.

So much so that both girls have been given the nickname ‘The Maker Twins’ in reference to the legendry Solus Prime who was nicknamed the ‘Maker of the Primes’ for the same reason.

Megatron even tried to kidnap her once on Cybertron to get her to design a new mega-weapon. She escaped and promptly destroyed one of the cons bases with her other gift.

Much like her sister Whitefire, Blackfire can control elements; unlike her sister (who can control the power of ice and snow) Blackfire can control two very different elements.

Fire and lightning.

This has helped her in both battle and in the forging of new weapons.

Abilities:  The ability to control fire and lightning, the ability to summon lightning storms and wildfires, a gifted inventor and gunsmith.

Individual Power Level Stats: Strength 11, Intelligence 10, Speed 8, Endurance 10, Rank 6, Courage 10, Firepower 7, Skill 10

Weapons: Lightning hammer with matching staff, Kaon fire bow (inc. Arrows), dagger.

Notes:

On closer examination of her job records I found that unlike the rest of the Creed both Whitefire and Blackfire have last names, which is Solus. Although if it’s got anything to do with Solus Prime is unknown at this time.
