PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Foley is much like his F0A-3 Assassin Droid counterparts with interspersed armor plates, two glowing red photoreceptors, and a humanoid type frame. His plates were colored a dark red to distinguish him from his counterparts as one of the F0A-3s with the additional programming. Foley possesses different colored plates and eye light emitters in order to completely change his appearance. He will often don billowing, hooded cloaks and other types of loose clothing to not arouse attention, depending on the circumstance.

LANGUAGES
Basic, Binary, Sith, Huttese

PERSONALITY
Foley is an advanced droid that adapts to every situation it finds itself in. Often, the droid takes the role of a protocol droid and pretends to be quirky in that way. In truth, the droid is confident, determined, fearless, and utterly fanatical about his directives that linger from the First Order. The droid endeavors to be two steps ahead of his enemies and will change his demeanor based on the situation.

BIOGRAPHY
"Alpha" was Foley's nickname when he was created. They called him Alpha because he was one of the first of the F0A-3 Assassin Droids. The early models were programmed a bit differently than his peers due to the coding that wired him for leadership and strategy in addition to the other functions programmed into the F0A-3s, including the addition of a heuristic processor. Alpha was given a long leash and left to his own innovation to achieving mission objectives. Seeing the success that Alpha and the first batch of droids were having, they continued producing their short run of the F0A-3s.

But these operations were not without problems. It seemed that the First Order Security Bureau (FOSB) were a little too efficient in their programming the fanatical stance the line of droids take when striving to maintain and strengthen the First Order. Specifically Alpha, who would lead other droids into mass killings in order to cover their tracks or even summarily execute an alleged traitor in the First Order. Regardless, the program continued and Alpha continued his work for the First Order.

Following the Final Order and the Battle of Exegol, FOSB engineers began to recall all the F0A-3 units. One at a time the droids came back to the bases where they were built and were incinerated, erasing every trace of the deadly droids that had garnered quite a nasty reputation from those who knew about them. Alpha, always striving to maintain the First Order, had planted a surveillance device in one of the bases where he was built, underwent modifications, etc. Alpha discovered what they were doing to his line of droids. Self-preservation won the day and Alpha leaked the location of the base he was from to the New Alliance. In short order, the New Alliance military came and wiped out that particular lab. Those F0A-3s that were late reporting came to find a bombed out laboratory where all that remained was a smoldering crater. Alpha does not have information on the other bases and what happened to them...

Adapting to his new existence, Alpha re-designated himself to"Foley", taking on a mundane name. Foley traveled to where the New Alliance would never dream of looking: Bakura. This planet was very much anti-droid. To Foley, it made sense to find a space that would be safe and hide out. Managing to slip into Bakura undetected, the droid began scouting out possibilities for an adequate place to stay in hibernation.

Picking a location with a very high probability of not being disturbed for decades at a time, Foley researched and picked one of the larger, rundown abodes off the beaten path. This structure had a large, unorganized storage basement where many relics and "junk" remained undisturbed. Finding this household of the Ti'Varnus family, which is now in the possession of Alyse Ti'Varnus, it matched the criteria. The droid secured a space where it could go into a low-power state until it was safe to return into the open, even though the droid suspected no person or organization was hunting him. In order to stay on an ultra-low mode of hibernation, Foley could only be taken out of the state by specific commands. He has remained in this basement for over a century...

ABILITIES
Skilled Combat Platform
As a state-of-the-art assassin droid, Foley had the combat programming to go with it. The droid has the coding that lends itself to many forms of combat, but Foley has taken to the practicality of dual pistol combat and adjusted his combat programming based on each combat encounter he takes part in. Foley knows the strengths and weaknesses of his combat platform. He does a good job of playing his strengths (accuracy, agility, tactics) and hiding his weaknesses (weak armor, routine maneuvers, ion vulnerability).

Practiced Infiltrator
What separates the F0A-3s from most other droids is their ability to adapt and blend in to their environment, programmed to analyze the environs they find themselves in and quickly generate a "persona" to portray, making them appear as anything other than themselves and appear as a persona that belongs to the local area. Foley is especially talented at this with his impersonations of protocol droids--definitely one of his strengths in this area.

Droid General
Foley is not like the other F0A-3s. He was among the first ones that were given additional programming routines, including the tools to effectively lead other droids. While it is relevant and effective for sentient beings, his specialization is small unit tactics with combat droids in the field of battle.

First Order Zealot
The directive to "maintain and protect the First Order by any means necessary" is still strong in Foley's programming. It is the one directive that he is unable to modify on his own. But at this point, Foley believes in this cause, whether part of his primary directives or not. As such, the droid doggedly pursues this goal and cares little about what is broken in the process...

Hey there. I checked with the tech mods and things on the tech side of things look fine.

However I do have some things about the backstory I'm not really comfortable with approving: Namely that the your character is the "the first of the F0A-3 Assassin Droids" and is so good ("treaded new ground" even) more of this droid was created based on this character gives unearned past prestige/importance for the starting character. I wouldn't approve a character that was said to be 'the first BX Commando Droid' or 'the first R2 series' droid. I don't mind that your character can be an early model (or something else less definite)

The last thing is your character blowing up the factory these droids are made. While I don't mind a generic random droid factory being blown up. But this goes a little past the border of having a starting character's backstory having an effect on thing beyond it's profile, with this character's actions in the bio being the reason no more droids of this model could be produced IC. (And in addition if anyone else wanted to make a character based on this model, they wouldn't know that the only place (from how I'm reading it) they are made is destroyed unless they read this profile.

The easiest way to remedy that all is saying 'a laboratory' was leaked .etc .etc

On a lesser note: the droid's leadership ability reads that it's a tactical genius too in all aspects of warfare. I think as a Commando/Assassin droid fire-team/small squad tactics would make more sense.

Everything else looks fine, once adjustments are made tag me and I'll take a look when I get a chance

Hey @Faster Than Light and thanks for the review.

I did not realize I wrote him that way, but now that I read it--yeah, sorry about that.

I made the changes you asked for, such as the factory that was destroyed was just one of a few. I also took your suggestion on the leadership specifically pertaining to small unit tactics.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Approved!

Nice to see more droid characters being made
