NAME: Go2L00p Syke
FACTION: Rebel Alliance
RANK: Droid
CLASSIFICATION: Sith Slayer Droid
AGE: Undetermined
HEIGHT: 6,8
WEIGHT: 248 pounds
EYES: Green
SKIN: Gunmetal
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Really...?



STRENGTH: Terminator - Could lift an R unit with moderate effort.

DEXTERITY: Catlike - Agile and stealthy could sneak up on Ras Al Ghul

CONSTITUTION: Man of Steel - Made mostly of plasteel components and Sith metallurgical bindings the model relies on agility and stealth to avoid serious damage.

INTELLIGENCE: Protocol Droid - without the annoying parts.

WISDOM: On Edge Cheetah - As a Wardroid being aware of his surroundings is embedded into every lair of his programming.

CHARISMA: Creepy Undertaker - People skills and day to day chit chat are not his strong points.



SKILLS:
Despite his weight and being a droid the Go2L00p line of Sith War Droids was a limited use droid used by the Ancient Sith Assassins to hunt Jedi and so were made to be supple but also strong, built to last and be recoverable it has meant quite a few of these models survived into the modern era.

Runs an Operating system much like a organic brain in that it makes connections to form closer links with memories and increase "muscle reflex" responses that are already built in such as different martial arts and some knowledge of lightsaber forms to know to combat moves.

The OS is difficult to splice since each Droid has to create it's own OS meaning that it has in essence created it's own conscience any splicer would have to learn quickly and adapt to changing parameters or in other words be very skilled to be effective against this sort of adapting OS.

It's stealth abilities are linked to an inbuilt jammer to stop detection on different wavebands and lengths - not being invisible at all but on security systems will appear glitchy or fuzzy. This is an active effect and uses up a great deal of his charge so it is generally not deployed for long.




STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Syke, for his lack of people skills outwith stabbing them in the face is intensely loyal to his "re-activators" since it actively refuses to call them his "masters" sometimes it has lapsed into calling them "family" but quick reasserts itself the Ortis family have been good to Syke. Re-servicing him and not selling him off like the other of his type they found. His strength is his literal physical strength and emotional strength of character being resistant to things that would upset organics or cause them distress but Sykes loyalty to his "family" is a major weakness in that it makes him overly protective and prone to using force to resolving situations on the Ortis families behalf. Having been charged with the eldest son Akiara's protection and the very nature of his work being dangerous the droid has become paranoid and increasingly concerned not only for Akiaras physical state but his mental well being. Other than to the Ortis family his disposition can be best described as "Professional indifference." This is are result of the unique brain building his programming does to allow connections to be made in order for Syke to be a better killer but it has inversely given him a partial conscience.


GEAR:
retractable talons, a coat, emitter blocker, jammers.


PERSONALITY:
Cold and indifferent generally with the exception of members of the Ortis family whom Syke considers close. His ability to use free will is starting to develop having ignored any programming that told Syke to kill Jedi or fight for the Sith considering it no longer relevant despite also noting the similarities and the repetition of history. "So much has changed, so little has changed." he would remark if he was ever asked about it. His conscience tells him that killing is not wrong as a machine of war killing is what he was designed for and he should be good at it. But who he kills should be his own decision and not the decision of ancient programming goto commands.


BIOGRAPHY:

Syke was reactivated by Akiara's Father and him sometime after the fall of Coruscant partially as an experiment and out of intellectual curiosity. They found Syke within a large moor on Dromund Kaas. Syke does not remember much from the Ancient Sith Wars he was a part of other than fierce battles and faces. His time with the Ortis family has been of peace and respite for the most part but his recent involvement in the Alliance as an Operatives bodyguard for lack of a better word has raised some eyebrows within the Alliance but has been no cause for concern as it is but a droid. The few things Syke was able to rediscover about himself have not been pleasant having a partially biological construct for a nervous system and brain that was created with Sith Alchemy and is artificial in nature and being self repairable. Now thousand of years after the wars and battles of the time are long gone Syke has found himself in a similar situation but actively aiding the Jedi.

It has not been such a large shift from killing Jedi to sort of helping them as Syke follows Akiara Ortis a Rebel Spy only because Akiara's step-father asked him to protect him when he was not there. Syke considers this a solemn duty and this is the "One Promise I will not give up on." He will protect his family because he has chosen to do so and not because he was created a certain way by the Sith and told to hate and kill others. Although externally Syke gives little away about the emotional states it is in internally he is grasping with the creation of his own conscience and his developing free will.

Sykes ultimate goal however he has kept secret - he wishes the Ortis family to join him in his own form of immortality and if they die; a part of him still remembers where they took the dying organic matter to be turned into the weapon he is. One day when Akiara or the others die he will take their bodies home to Dromund Kaas and make sure they are together without the weakness of the organic form.




Additional Comments: Syke is more of a character stub since he and my other character Akiara Ortis will be adventuring together I thought it best to explain why I thought having a type of Sith Slayer Droid around would be fun for character development.

I haven't read over the entire thing yet but what I'm getting from the additional comment, is that this is some sort of NPC rather than a character for your personal use?

Oh no I have used him but he's generally in the background, my main character is not a combat character so Syke is my way of getting around having a character who can barely hold a blaster haha. I just thought it might be nice to put some more thought into him, he will mostly be in the background. And it's ok my other characters profile was WAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY longer.

Ahhhhh I see now. I just read up abit more. Seems like a good start! And I've read your other character's profile as well! Great character mate!

I actually think Akiara and Varelys could get along quite well as you said. They could possibly work together against their enemy! (:

If it sympathises with Gungans the HK unit needs to go. Like I said mostly Syke is working alongside Akiara so you'd have to go through him.... in one form or another haha.

So do I! Although there certainly would be some sort of friction due to their opposing moral compasses whilst Varleys is a killer, Akiara is not. You might have more in common with Syke here. :P

I don't thing gungans are any different from the rest of the squishy meatbags though he might find them amusing... Maybe one day they will meet as allis HK-92s work could bring him anywhere

Oh boy, two droids getting on each others nerves I can't imagine the expletives in droid speak would be too kind. "Beep-boop-bop-bleep!"

Still though I'm sure they would get over it. Anyway hope you liked Sykes profile and if you get the joke in his name you get +10 internet.

I'm sorry, but this character isn't going to fly in it's current form. Even if he's a droid and made for hunting Force Sensetives, he's exceptionally overpowered. And no droid is 'unhackable'. HK-47, HK-51, and all the following droids, including R2-D2, had "organic" thought patterns and were capable of learning as they went, but were still capable of being sliced/hacked and tampered with. Regardless of it's design, it's still just a computer on legs with arms.

Also, this thing is a droid. No droid, especially a bipedal humanoid one, is sneaky. They might have stealth field generators and sound supressors, but you'd hear the hum of engines, hydraulics, electricity, the glow of eyes, etc. And droids aren't known for exceptional mobility.

Also, this character is, as you have said, a war droid. War droids are exceptionally limited when it comes to mental accuity. They were created to do one thing, and one thing only. Kill. Kill. Kill. And survive long enough to acomplish it's main goal: Kill. Anything is a tertiary concern. Most war droids aren't even capable of speach.

It's a cool concept, one which I've used myself (check out HK-53), but it needs to be nerfed quite a bit to be playable.

I actually thought I had made him pretty weak considering he wasn't bench pressing berskar iron or lightsaber resistant cortosis dresses haha. The idea came from browsing wookiepedia on Sith war droids called Slayers and the idea of Culture Minds in the Culture Series who create their own OS as a sort of learning program but I appreciate the criticism... hmm I'm sure I can work this out somehow I'll tinker with it based on your suggestion however as to it being stealthy well SD-XX Anikan Solo's droid was stealthy so I'm sure he isn't capable of total stealth but It's not outwith a droid to be stealthy.

This is false. I suggest you look up infiltration and replica droids on Wookiepedia before claiming no droid is capable of stealth.

Plenty more then that, many of which have both served combat and infiltration roles. You have to keep in mind over time, droids have been known to develop quirks, and even full-blown personalities that overcome their original programming.

Though I do agree on some points that your droid does need to be toned down. Very few droids are 'unhackable' and that generally pertains to Infiltration droids in general (whom are NOT primarily combat units and usually work on closed-circuit systems, or in my character's case, can't be sliced because they're using organic properties over electronic components for their brain).

Also be sure to take in multiple opinions before changing anything on your character. One person does not speak for the whole of the community.

I understand but I sort of agree with the unhackable part even though it uses bio/droid parts. I do definitely think the character needs work but I didn't think he was over powered at conception.

Oh but he is. You underestimate a lot of the statistics you've put on. Being strong enough to dent blast doors? He'd have to be gigantic. Blast doors are strong enough to resist turbolaser fire--nothing should really be that strong without being a Super Destroyer Droid.

Since he's a "Hunter Killer" type droid which relies on stealth, I suggest fore-going superhuman strength and settle on above-average. Use speed and dexterity to his advantage, avoid damage while striking from the shadows. That puts on a far creepier vibe than "HULK SMASH!"
