1) Roddy found out he was an obligate vampire shortly after That Thing With Unicron, when he drank some regular medical-grade energon and was violently ill. When he woke up he had fangs, thus solving the medical mystery First Aid was frantic over. 2) Daniel thought it was the coolest thing ever. Roddy still has no idea how to react to this. 3) After his first 'diplomatic incident' ahem, Roddy starts spending a lot more time with former Decepticons (i.e. Drift and Cardoom) and Neutrals, which helps him figure out how to allocate resources, write new bylaws, etc. As well as just helping him make a lot of new friends. 4) And yes, Roddy and Cardoom do get to have that race. Galvatron will be glad to know Cardoom acquits himself admirably and beats the pants off Roddy. ;) 5) ...Roddy was quietly plotting his next trip to Charr before the shuttle bringing him back to Cybertron even landed. <3
-Viking AU- 1) Ulfginnung was not the only monster Hroði and Galdinn slew together, only the most famous. 2) One of the tales they tell about Galdinn in hushed tones is that he once tamed and rode the wolf Fenrir. This is almost true. 3) Hroði, by contrast, quietly encourages a rumor that he keeps such good mead because he can speak to bees. 4) Most of Hroði's oathsworn men were more-or-less inherited from his father, but a significant portion of them came from Lands Far Away, travelers and refugees that he integrated as warriors. 5) About half of Galdinn's oathsworn were geas-bound like himself; the other half were inherited from his father, and the latter group is wary of the former, suspecting that the lot of them are ever-so-slightly not human.
