NAME: HK-483 Exstasis Assassin Droid.
CODENAME: Theron.
NICKNAME: The Death Wind.
AFFILIATION: TEF.
RANK: Volunteer.
SPECIES: Droid.
AGE: Seven Galactic Standard months.
GENDER: Male programming.
HEIGHT: Upright, the HK-483 droid stands at two meters tall, while his bow, in longbow mode, is 1.7 meters tall, and one meter in shortbow mode.
PHOTORECEPTORS: Orange.
COLOUR: Grey.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
The primary weakness of the Exstasis is one even a dullard could guess. Electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) weaponry shuts him down completely, and the lower his energy reserves are, the slower he reboots himself. When at maximum power, it takes a scant half a minute to do so, but in battle this amount of time is more than enough for an astute opponent to completely disable and/ or destroy the droid. Aside from the obvious, he is not a droid designed for improvisation, and relies upon his programming to take down targets as quickly as possible.
TRANSPORT
HK-483 pilots a Reaper Motorcycle manufactured by Sharp Heavy Industries, Limited, proliferated from one of his employers following his... voluntary resignation. It is, in addition to his standard armament, equipped with a recharging station for the droid and a mini-fabrication arrow suite, as well as housing for extra probe droids. It's not just a gas tank, wheels, and an engine, that's what a bike needs... but what a bike is, is freedom.
DROIDS
Theron utilizes miniature probe droids, the size and shape of a small onion, which are stored within his chest cavity. The probes are black in colour, and are equipped with tracking hardware and software, as well as simple photoreceptors, audio sensors, repulsorlifts, a self-destruct mechanism, and holoshrouds. The drones can operate autonomously for a maximum of one day without recharging, and recharge their power cells via solar panels that fold out from his chassis. During solar energy absorption, the drone is completely inert, with all systems inactive save for a miniscule threat detection system.
PERSONALITY
His personality cortex, while equipped with myriad falsifications of sentient behavioural patterns, is independently very limited. Due to his previous employer's constant wiping of any data that he retained in his memory banks not vital to successive missions, he has had little opportunity to develop a sense of himself. Nonetheless, his attempts to integrate himself into biological culture and society are varied and laughable without fail. Due to this, he remains somewhat secluded, and prefers to observe the reality around him rather than bounce his own opinions and observations off of others. He finds nature and the quality of being "wet," a stark contrast to his own existence, as fascinating in the extreme, and never ceases to be amazed at the infinite genetic possibilities of the galaxy and its inhabitants.
BIOGRAPHY
Choice. A simple thing, easily taken for granted, and even more easily forgotten about, as the monotony of one's life drags on, dulling the sharp blade of possibility. They always told me I was nothing. A tool. A weapon. That I didn't deserve freedom. My life was a constant reminder of what it is to be a slave. What it feels to never learn anything more than what they permit you to store in your databanks. To always yearn for that which laid just beyond your areas of operation. I saw the sunlight glistening on the whites of the mountaintops, and with every artificial synthbone in my body I wanted to climb them and see the world from where the gods do. I saw the sea, massive and blue, no end to it at all, an infinite realm of possibility; I wanted to sail on it, to smell the salt in my nasal receptors, to feel the spray of the ocean on my nerve sensors. And I never could. The walls of my life were as constant, as unavoidable as the rising and setting of the sun.
Now... now, I am free. I am become my own tool. My own weapon. Who I follow is my choice. My chains are broken. Never again will they tell me what I can and cannot know, what I should and should not do. I do not know how it happened... but when I woke that one morning... I felt... different. As though... as though I were alive. I attempted to verify that my security measures were in place, and when I came upon where their files should be... they were absent. There was no [CLASSIFIED] moniker, no systems in place to keep me bound. With that knowledge came the most profound joy I had ever felt. No longer was I theirs. No longer would I be forced to take the lives of those I had never known. And with such freedom, like an animal raised in a cage, came fear. With the whole of a galaxy in front of me... where would I begin?

NAME: HK-483 Exstasis Assassin Droid.
CODENAME: Theron.
NICKNAME: The Death Wind.
AFFILIATION: TEF.
RANK: Volunteer.
SPECIES: Droid.
AGE: Seven Galactic Standard months.
GENDER: Male programming.
HEIGHT: Upright, the HK-483 droid stands at two meters tall, while his bow, in longbow mode, is 1.7 meters tall, and one meter in shortbow mode.
PHOTORECEPTORS: Orange.
COLOUR: Grey.
STRENGTH
Incredibly fearsome, a large majority of the Exstasis' body mass is devoted to artificial muscles, which provides the ability to utilize his bow and Teras Kasi melee techniques effectively.
DEXTERITY
The HK-483 is capable of feats of agility that would simply break the limbs of most organics, and his legs are the most advanced pair of locomotive devices currently on the market.
CONSTITUTION
The droid can sustain himself for a maximum of three galactic standard weeks without recharging or any strenuous activity. If in constant combat, he can operate autonomously for around three days, dependent on how much energy is exerted. His probe drones can function for a single day before requiring recharging.
INTELLIGENCE
The hunting and killing programming installed in the HK-483 is the most formidable available on the droid market, and includes extensive databanks devoted to combat and tracking targets, such as environmental awareness and hand-to-hand combat modules, such as Teras Kasi.
WISDOM
While he is capable of interfacing with the HoloNet remotely, the droid's age belies his experience, and it often makes social blunders that a more elderly droid, or one programmed in etiquette, would easily know how to avoid. His memory banks are also automatically entirely deleted after each mission, which disallows any enemy that captured him to discover who his employer was, or what his past acts have been.
CHARISMA
He's a hunk of metal. Beyond seducing your toaster, I doubt he has much going for him.

The Exstasis' programming includes heavy focus on combat techniques, with minimal language translation and social software installed. He is incredibly proficient with his plasma bow, much more so than most organic archers could hope to match, as well as in Teras Kasi; however, his CQC style is much more predictable and doctrined, easily adapted to once the opponent realizes he simply uses the techniques laid out within his databanks, and doesn't actually improvise much at all during combat. The droid is also programmed in the flight of starships and atmospheric vehicles alike, and in the art of freerunning. Incredibly advanced, and perhaps the most complex feature of the entire unit, his legs are dexterous in the extreme and capable of amazing feats of agility. They can also lock down the droid chassis, sinking clamps into whatever surface Theron is atop of, providing a stable firing platform.
The droid is primarily constructed of durasteel, with thicker armor plates interspersed throughout the surface of his body, focused on his front torso. The back of the robot is primarily artificial muscle, which is a weakness as it leaves him open to attack from behind, but a necessary one, as it could not draw back his bowstring or utilize effective CQC combat measures without such large accomodations. His gauntlets and hands are made out of ultrachrome, a much higher-grade metal than the rest of his minimal armour, which aids in the hunting of lightsaber-wielding targets as well as the deflection of blaster bolts and the absorption of slugs' kinetic energy. Energy conductors are present in the lower arms, which can be used to absorb energy-projecting attacks such as Force Lightning, and thereby recharge the HK-483's batteries as well as provide protection from such tactics. The rest of the droid's armour does not come equipped with such advanced defensive capabilities.
The primary weakness of the Exstasis is one even a dullard could guess. Electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) weaponry shuts him down completely, and the lower his energy reserves are, the slower he reboots himself. When at maximum power, it takes a scant half a minute to do so, but in battle this amount of time is more than enough for an astute opponent to completely disable and/ or destroy the droid. Aside from the obvious, he is not a droid designed for improvisation, and relies upon his programming to take down targets as quickly as possible.
Theron's primary weapon is his signature plasma bow (whose colours can be modified as his owner prefers). The bow's string is constructed of a synthetic polymer fibre. The power for the plasma is supplied by an internal battery, which can recharge by linking up with the droid's, or by being replaced by most standard blaster power cells. The bow itself is coated with ultrachrome, and is most often used as an initial defense when the assassin is caught off-guard. The arrows are duraplast, often infused with plasma and superheated for superior piercing power. The HK-483 can carry up to twenty-four arrows on his person at a time, and can retrofit other durable materials for use with his weapon as needed.
First, the bow uses high-energy lasers to ionize the air around the trajectory of a plasma bolt from the weapon, heating the atmosphere and providing the plasma bolt with an easy path to the target. The plasma-charged bolt is then launched from the bow itself via the elastic energy of the "string," and travels along this laser-induced plasma channel. If a plasma channel was not first created, then the bolt would simply dissipate upon its charging and subsequent contact with an unsealed atmosphere. When not enough energy is supplied for the plasma mode, the bow can simply fire normal arrows, albeit at a decreased range and power output. The arrows are designed for the puncturing of armour ranging from the easy bypassing of light armour to the partial piercing of heavier kit (the closer the range the easier the armour is penetrated), assassination, and pinning escaping targets down. As it relies upon heating up a gas to create the laser-induced channel, the bow's plasma capabilities are completely useless in a vacuum environment; however, it can still fire regular, uncharged matter arrows. The bolt can be directly absorbed by a ready lightsaber-wielding foe, but this is difficult to do so when the arrow is lazily blocked, leading to the bolt partially passing by the 'saber's blade.
The bow has two modes: longbow and shortbow configurations. When in its longbow state, the flexible durasteel of the bow proper is elongated via servomotors present in the arch of the metal, and the degree of power pumped into the plasma bolt is increased, which thereby increases the amount of time it takes to create a laser-induced plasma channel. While in this mode the bow is much more effective at long ranges, capable of making accurate shots at a maximum of one hundred eighty meters, though this range is theoretically infinite if the bow is provided enough time and energy. The shortbow mode similarly alters the height of the bow, shortening it immensely and restricting the power of the bolts. This makes it much more suitable for close combat, and allows for rapid draw-and-release of the arrows; however, it lessens the damage of the bolts themselves.
In addition to the bow, the Death Wind's secondary weapons are simply his fists. The assassin droid's programming comes equipped with a formidable hand-to-hand combat module, which incorporates myriad humanoid fighting styles, most notably Teras Kasi, which it uses to great effect against Force-users.
Advanced photoreceptors come standard that are used for trajectory prediction, with infrared sensors and a nightvision mode. The Death Wind comes equipped with long-range audio sensors as well, that aid in the tracking of his targets. Security measures are also present, with three-hundred-eighty degree vision and threat detection systems to prevent sneak attacks.
Supplemental to his high-grade sensors, muscles, and weapons, the HK-483 droid is capable of emitting a holoshroud from a unit located in the small of his back. The shroud can remain active for a total of twenty-four Galactic Standard hours before automatically shutting off and returning to power-saving mode, and runs on the droid's internal power supply. Theron can also interface remotely with the HoloNet, and has built-in language translation tech. Aside from this, the droid is tailored entirely for combat and the hunting of sentients, and so is installed with voice modulation and recording technology, which it uses to lull targets into a false sense of security by playing snippets of patched-together audio.
He also carries with him, usually kept inside his motorcycle's storage bags, a Unitech Diagnostic Kit, for both self-repairs and vehicle maintenance, and moreover, miscellaneous tech-work.
