Character Name: Jazz. No last name. Character Series: Transformers G1 Character Age: Many millions of years. When he's human, he appears mid-late 20's. Background: I'm taking him from before the 1986 cartoon movie in the G1 canon. A nice breakdown of the episodes he's in can be found http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jazz_%28G1%29/Generation_1_cartoon_continuity Chronologically, he's more likely in the late 1980s or early 1990s, though there's a 20-year gap between the end of season 2 and the 1986 movie, with the 3rd season being set after the movie. His canon point would be somewhere between the two, though, as he is already familiar with Autobot City, something that doesn't come into play until between season 2 and the movie.
Personality: Jazz is one of the friendliest members of the Autobots, and one of the most popular amongst their ranks because of his playfulness and fun, upbeat nature. He enjoys the company of others and goes out of his way to be around his friends when he's in his off-time. He dislikes seeing others unhappy and always does his best to keep the morale of the team up. He's not above playing a few jokes, though, mostly against the resident Autobot prankster, Sideswipe. The two have been known to engage in prank battles before, though many times while it's almost always obvious when Sideswipe has pulled a stunt, Jazz is more subtle and is often able to get away without being caught.
Jazz is also acutely interested in the cultures he encounters across the Universe, adapting to fit into them with remarkable ease. After coming to Earth, he quickly assimilated into the culture, taking to their music most particularly. He enjoys studying cultures and societies and is fascinated with all aspects of human life, and is often the Autobot the others go to if they have questions about the way the organics live.
In battle, Jazz can be fierce and protective of his comrades. He's a skilled combatant, and despite his smaller stature, isn't a Bot to be underestimated. His friendly nature belies his training as a ruthless special agent, and he has no problem assassinating a Decepticon that's in the way of his mission. Even fellow Autobots know that when he sets his mind to something, it's best not to get in his way. Whether it's in a competition with his friends or fulfilling an order to commit sabotage against the enemy's forces, he'll do whatever it takes – underhanded or not – to complete whatever he's set his mind to.
Of particular note regarding his relationships with his fellow Autobots are his friendhips with the Autobot Twins, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe and the Autobot Tactician and Second-in-Command, Prowl. Sunstreaker, Prowl, Jazz, Wheeljack, Inferno, and Stampede were, in the early days of the war, gathered together to form a covert team sent out to protect a small neutral Cybertronian city from destruction by a ruthless Decepticon named Megadeath. They had not known each other long, but the events that occurred there - their capture and subsequent torture by the enemy and eventual murder of Stampede while they were forced to watch - all had a deep impact on the small group. (Canon reference.) A strong friendship was formed between Jazz and the surviving members, particularly Sunstreaker and Prowl, and in the end, Prowl and Jazz formed a romantic relationship with one another. (Based on existing CR with Prowl's Mun.) As Cybertronians do not have a concept of gender the way some forms of organic life do, the concept of two male-like bots forming a bonded pair was not an unusual thing. They kept it hidden for a number of years, however, due to the danger it could pose should the information be discovered by Decepticons who would use it against them. Jazz is intensely loyal to the SiC and also helps bridge the gap between Prowl's strict, seemingly emotionless demeanor and the Autobots who have a hard time understanding Prowl's personality.
Jazz has a strong judge of character and can often tell when someone is lying or has less then good intentions. It's allowed him to understand those that other Autobots have a hard time getting along with, such as the volatile Sunstreaker, Huffer, Cliffjumper, and of course Prowl.
Abilities: In his robot mode, Jazz has the abilities to create a disorienting light and sound display that subdues other bots and allows him to gain the upper hand. As the head of Special Operations of the Autobots, he's an expert in being stealthy and can get in and out of even some of the most dangerous situations before anyone knows he's been there. He is a capable fighter when he needs to, and is well known amongst the Decepticon forces as one of the more dangerous foes to find yourself facing on the battlefield.

So uh, hey, cats. Anyone know where I can find someone who can braid my hair?
Not like...one big braid. Cornrows, y'dig? The barbers here all wanna cut my hair like Prowl's. Short'n side-part-y. That don't work very well with my hair.
I like it long, it's just...kinda...[The sound of rustling comes over the phone like he's ruffling his own hair, and he gives a soft murmur of irritation.] It's a mess! I dunno how you cats do it!
[He gives a long-suffering sigh, and one can almost hear him rubbing his hand down his own face.] Primus, do I miss home.
Whatever. Prowler, y'feel like comin' over an' helping me tame this mess? Or just, y'know...anything? The drones're drivin' me nuts. If that woman calls me honey one more time, I don' know what I'm gonna do...!
