However, when he does take off hid Helmet Verdun comes off as Indimidating. Verdun's face has scars, scratches, and marks from his Career as a Contract Hunter, aquiering a new one with every notable contract. Verdun's Build is Chizzeled and Athletic, having incredible strength, endurance, and stamina from his training to stay fit. Verdun's walk is a Notable feature, at a glance you could see the Intimidation and Unnerving sense of him as he walks, Having a posture that is ready to fight, but all the while keeping a calm tone with it.

Affiliation: Republic Droid Manufacturing
Ownership: Verdun Al (however Al dosen't treat T7 as if he were an owned item)
Intent:
Model/Name: (What is your droid's name or designation? An example: B1 Battle Droid)
Class: (Is it a combat droid? A protocol droid? Is it a laborer, or a medical droid? What is its role?)
Locomotion: (How does your droid move about? Does it walk on two legs, or on four? Does it scurry about on six buglike limbs, or does it roll around on tank treads or hover on repulsorlifts?)
Power Supply: (What kind of power source does your droid have? How long does it last before requiring recharging, replacement, or refueling? Generic power cells and fuel cells are examples of simple power supplies.)
Sensors: (What kind of sensors does your droid have? How does it perceive the world around it? You only need to list exotic or unusual sensors – simple photoreceptors, short-ranged audio pickups, and basic touch sensors don't need to be mentioned, but things like thermal sensors and ultra long-range laser microphones do need to be written down. )
Size: (How tall is it? If does not walk upright, then how long or wide is it? Give us a feel for how big your droid is. Please use the metric system for your measurements.)
Composition: (What kind of metals, polymers, or other materials is your droid made out of? Please not that the same restrictions on armor apply here – you may not have a droid made purely of Saber-resistant material!)
Weapons: (What kind of weapons, if any, does your droid have? Please describe them in some detail. Note that 'Heavy Blaster' or 'Type X Maser' does not provide detail – specify what manner of weapon your droid has, how much ammunition or power it has for that weapon, and what kind of range and fire rate that weapon has, along with any other features worth noting.)
Tools: (Anything non-combative goes here. Things like fusion welders, personal shields, deployable data probes, and other utilitarian things need to be mentioned!)
Description: (Describe your droid in good detail here. Explain its function, the layout of its components, what tools and weapons it has, and anything else that comes to mind. You can only use features you've written down, so include everything you intend to use.)
*Features: (If the description gives you trouble, you can fill out a list of features instead and omit the description. If you filled out the description, omit this part of the template.)
