[QUOTE="Operator, post: 2287393, member: 32696"] Oh, a tall, lanky, and skeletal B1 is definatly the type I want to play. And I'd respond to every request with a crisp "Roger-roger." Roleplaying the factory default quirks balanced agianst a few long decades of operational life in ways [i]never[/i] intended by the designers is one of the things I most enjoy about playing a Droid. My group once played a solid two-year game of D6, and little R2-D3X ('Dex') was to become the most feared pilot in the Rebellion. 32 confirmed kills. I'm thinking a B1 droid that went missing in the wake of the Clone Wars and has drifted from port-to-port in the outer rim, workign as a mercenary, bodyguard, or other heavy for the highest bidder. Basically, your typical bacground for any scoundrel-soldier from the Outer Rim. Add in a few unique quirks: - A programed dislike of Jedi, the Republic, AND the Empire makes him grousse about all forms of government. But as a soldier droid he can only thrive when subject to a strict hierarchy. (He's the grumbling Private in [i]every[/i] WWII movie!) - Protocol Droids and Astromech are designed for decades of service, and often last a century or so, this colors their personalities and is fun to roleplay. A B1 Battledroid is designed to de [i]dispossible[/i], and mine has lived for decades.... - He's seen combat, a lot of combat, and is thus a season veteran... without any inherient boost in BAB, HP, or Skills! - He's collapsable for easy storage! (I predict hours of ammusment!) - He shall be named 'Roger Rodger'! [/QUOTE]
