Starscream Bunny

[zubiesoup.livejournal.com]

De-lurking with one kind of large bunny.

Starscream has an anxiety glitch - if he doesn't look after it he gets extremely nervous and temperamental and even suffers from panic attacks and hallucinations which cause him to lash out violently at those around him. It is a very dangerous condition to himself and others.

How is this different to paranoia? Red Alert's paranoia glitch is more likely to be set off by conspiracy theories and the idea that people are specifically out to get him. Starscream's anxiety glitch does not make him think people are out for his energon specifically, instead he sees, in everything around him, potential dangers and accidents just waiting to happen. Essentially it makes for a very nervous (cowardly?) mech.

Optional cottontails:

a. Starscream isn't aware of his glitch
b. Someone in the Decepticon forces knows about Starscream's glitch and has been experimenting on him.
c. Someone discovers the experiments and does not approve.
d. Starscream's glitch is incurable, however it is manageable; all he needs is someone to talk to about his anxieties and help him sort out any hallucinations. However he'll always be slightly skittish even with the treatment.
e. While he was friends' with Skyfire he was unknowingly self medicating.
