BIOGRAPHY
K-1C5, or as he likes to be called 'Kicks', is a KX-Series Security Droid who was initially in the service to the Galactic Empire during Darth Sidious's reign. Originally manufactured as a loophole combat droid for the purpose of protecting the kyber crystal rich moon, Jedha, under Imperial rule, K-1C5 had followed his orders as well as any other droid. While on duty, he took a blaster bolt to the chest where he was left for dead under a pile of fallen rubble. Storm Troopers ignored his pleas for help and left him for dead. It didn't take long for the local scavengers to begin picking at his parts, but the KX droid was saved from complete dismemberment by a warrior woman named Kala. She batted away the youngsters and stowed K-1C5 in her home, making repairs to him as time would allow her, however, Kala refused to bring to life a combat droid into her home without taking measures to ensure her own safety. She wiped the droid's memory and muddled with his programming to ignore his natal Imperial allegiance. Unbeknownst to the droid, Kala had been a kyber temple guard and vehemently hated the Galactic Empire. Unlike the Imperialists, she refused to dictate his life, but she did offer him a seat on her ship. She couldn't take the destruction of her temple any longer and wished to find new purpose to aid in taking down the Empire.
As K-1C5 no longer had an objective, or memory for that matter, he took up Kala on her offer and boarded her ship bound for Corellia where she promised to help find him work if he wished it. The capital, Coronet City, was a main hub for manufacturing Imperial Star Destroyers and other lesser ships for the Galactic Empire, as well as, home to a great number of shipyards. As the planet was under Imperial rule, a KX droid was not suspicious and under Kala's direction, the pair found him work in a small shipyard that worked independently of the planet's overlords. Originally, he worked as a guard to keep out low-life's and criminals off property, but as a KX droid, his presence offered the shipyard some freedoms unavailable to other non-Imperial commissioned locations. Kala began hosting meetings in the shipyard for Rebel Alliance sympathizers, and K-1C5 ensured the Empire's goons wouldn't enter the premise. After a while, the 'security droid' gained a level of self-esteem and importance to the cause, but more than that, he saw that the plan worked because of him. Without him, the shipyard would had been long unveiled for treason.
During one of Kala's meetings at the shipyard, Kicks's patrol was interrupted by a trio of droids that took him by surprise. He fought tooth and nail to get the advantage, and although he wounded one, he eventually came to submission. To his confusion, the pair holding him down didn't end him. Instead, they started to chuckle between them. 'Fire' they said he possessed, but the damaged droid complained about the kick she'd received. The trio told K-1C5 that they were part of a droid independence group based on Coruscant. They believed in the individual freedoms of droids by the 'sweat' of droids. They called themselves the Droid Gotra, and they hoped K-1C5 could help them gain a foothold on Corellia. His reputation by other anti-Empire droids had landed on the radar of the self-governing group, and here there they were offering him an opportunity to truly belong to something. The KX droid took the opportunity to join like minded individuals, but they wouldn't leave him without first baptizing him with a new name. It was at this time that K-1C5 took the call-sign Kicks, thereby establishing himself as an independent being and member of the Droid Gotra.
Throughout Imperial rule, Kicks was the eyes and ears for his droid brothers and sisters on Corellia, which he soon learned expanded to the fearsome organic syndicate called the Crymorah. After the Battle of Yavin, Kicks relocated to Coruscant where he dedicated his life to the ensuring droids everywhere knew that they can live their lives without organic masters. Apolitical, K-1C5 operates to better the situation of the Droid Gotra, which largely includes nefarious gigs that require his particular set of programming.
Personality
Personalities and Imperial droids don't exactly jive or hold hands, but after his reprogramming in 14 BBY, K-1C5 began to soak in the world around him with an uninhibited lens. His rescuer, Kala, might have been an angel, but his early surroundings on Corellia had shown him a darker side of humanity. Without the memories that humans had the luxury to carry with them, the 'security droid' emulated the 'me and my own' mentality. A sort of selfishness worked its way into K-1C5's wiring, which caused him to become stubborn, territorial and, at times, violent.
It was a takers world, and although he helped Kala with keeping her Rebel meetings secret from Empire intervention, the droid saw this as another example of selfishness. It was only going to be a matter of time before he took what was his; the serendipitous arrival of the Droid Gotra solidified Kicks's personality leanings, and so his sense of self grew to include the greater droid world. However, Kicks should not be confused as solely a self-propagator. He does possess a modicum of respect for some organics--especially if they are the type that pulled themselves up by the bootstraps. Kicks believes in a laissez-faire world, so he sees nothing wrong with syndicate life. The less government intervention the better--no matter which side. As a word of warning, don't take too long to appease him because he's quick to use violence.
Skills
Per K-1C5's manufacturing, the enforcer droid is adept in a series of combat methods including: hand-to-hand, melee and ranged combat. Although his skills don't extend to that of a Force user, his physical ability tops that of most any athletic life form. Moreover, this strength allows K-1C5 to bear a high carrying burden without becoming exhausted from the effort. Due to his build, Kicks utilizes his scomplink to hack system controls to his advantage. After spending over a decade in Corellia, homeworld to some of the galaxy's legendary shipyards and markets, Kicks knows his way around a hydrospanner.
Although seemingly perfect, K-1C5 does possess a number of flaws. Between normal wear and tear and combat damage, the century old droid experiences untimely program malfunctions like language crossing and loss of bodily function, and because of his stubborn nature, Kicks refuses to upgrade his parts as he believes they are part of his soul. Despite his interest in ships, he cannot fly, so he regularly 'requires evac' or simply 'bums rides'.
