Personality:
Dylan is a goofball, plain and simple. He’s known to always crack jokes and enjoys making new friends. Sometimes his old guards still show up, and he can be a little hard to crack at first however. But for the most part, he has come to learn the world isn’t quite the scary place that he once feared it was - and finds it far easier to let them down than ever before.
That said, Dylan is still struggling with new feelings. For the first time, he has a stable home life, parent, and friends. His social graces could use some improvement, and he still struggles with boundaries. But at his heart, Dylan is trying his best and only wants to make Optimus, and those who have faith in them proud.
History:
TW: Childhood abuse (including sexual) mentioned.
For the first years of his life, Dylan Logan’s life was a cruel nightmare. Born to a father who didn’t love him and a mother who died giving birth to him; his father systematically tortured, and sexually abused him from age two to five, life was a living hell. It wasn’t until he was finally rescued from his father’s attic at five years old that he was given a real chance at life, placed into foster care while his dad went to jail.
It wasn’t all roses then either. Unable to come forward out of fear Dylan became angry and generally upset at the world. He bounced from home to home, caused problems, and was known for his graffiti around the newly rebuilt Jasper, Nevada. His trauma grew more and more every day and nightmares threatened to tear apart his sanity despite some therapy.
His life finally turned around when, at age of thirteen, Dylan was sent to a program for delinquents on Cybertron. He was sent to the Iacon archives to work under the supervision of Orion Pax. For the first month or so, Dylan fought the former Autobot leader, and continued to be defiant and angry. But slowly, surely, the mech broke down his walls. Showing Dylan genuine understanding and patience, getting him a regular therapist, and treating him as if he were his own. Even making sure he had comfortable accommodations while on Cybertron and clothes that weren’t hand-me-downs or older than dirt.
Before long, Dylan had formed an extremely strong bond with Orion. Confiding in him the full story of his early life - something he had never told anyone. Dylan was stunned to find this didn't draw them apart but brought them closer together. And soon after his time was coming to an end in the program, Optimus had drawn formal paperwork to make him his foster son. Dylan finally found himself living with war hero Orion Pax on Cybertron and the center of one of the highest profile adoptions in years.
For the first time, Dylan had a stable home life and it was... Weird. But a good weird. With Orion he slowly learned how to be a normal kid, and came to know what being loved felt like - even hearing he was for the first time in fourteen years. Dylan stumbled and struggled with his own side of things but soon fell into a safe, genuine routine.
Around the same time, things became heated with the Decepticons, and Orion took back the name Optimus Prime. And though Dylan greatly worried all the struggles would lead to him being abandoned again, Optimus went nowhere. Though Dylan found that much of the world wanted to greatly scrutinize their situation, he came to enjoy finally having the home and family he'd so wanted. Within the year, his adoption had been formalized and he had become Dylan Elijah Prime, finally able to bury his past where it belonged.
But he knew not everyone was excited at the prospect. Though Prime tried to keep him out of it, he's seen all the looks and glares some of the humans are giving him, and many have slandered his decision to even be adopted. He now credits Prime as saving his life, and will follow him to the ends of the Earth and Cybertron.
Dylan, however, will not play the victim again - and has taken this time to begin training in self defense in earnest with a Wrecker, Springer. And though it's a slow process, he's beginning to grow in his self-confidence the longer it goes on.
Regardless, for the first time in years - Dylan finally feels at home. And though he isn't sure what or who the world might throw at him next, he's simply thankfully he won't have to face it alone.
