NAME: Z6-66
FACTION: Sacred Band of Ziost
RANK: Brother
SPECIES: Droid
AGE: Six Months
GENDER: N/A
FORCE SENSITIVE: No

ATTRIBUTES:
Z6-66 is a highly advanced assassin droid prototype who favors a lightsaber as it's main weapon. He was built for both fighting against Jedi and assassination in mind. Z6-66's skeleton-like chassis is lightly armored with durasteel. It's light frame and limbs enable it to use acrobatics similar to Jedi, and his construction enables him considerable strength as well. It's combat algorithms are highly advanced and has reflexes almost as good as Jedi, giving him good reaction time which is very useful in combat. His chassis also has a built-in full-body energy shield installed, in which activated that can absorb a very limited amount of energy-based damage. As a droid, he is much harder to sense by Jedi plus unable to have his mind affected by one. And also as a machine, it has no biological needs that humans have such as eating, drinking, and sleeping. It is also ambidextrous.

Z6-66 isn't the perfect Jedi fighting machine though. Although it can be mitigated by energy shielding, Z6 is still weak to ion-based weaponry, so if those defenses fail, they can do some serious damage to Z6. Although being designed to kill Jedi, in the end it's just a machine and as such it has no way to defend itself from the Force. Although shielding can provide limited protection against energy manipulation, it has no defense against telekinesis.

PERSONALITY:
Z6-66 has highly advanced AI programming that achieves sentience. He is first and foremost programmed to be loyal to the Sith and be able to operate in missions autonomously and carry out his objectives, plus being able to adjust to unexpected variables along the way. Being a droid, it is a creature of logic, possessing no emotions or empathy. Despite possessing no fear, it does possess self-preservation protocols, in which it will flee from lost fights or other battles it can't win, enabling it to fight another day. Leadership wise, it is able to command other droids effectively should he be accompanied by any. But it won't be inspiring the loyalty of organics though. In battle, Z6-66 is cold and unrelenting, and shows no mercy.

BIOGRAPHY:
Z6-66, was created as a prototype of a new line of assassin droids. It was created in an experimental laboratory based on the planet Ord Radama. Z6-66 was created six months ago, it is state-of-the-art, with it's most distinguishing feature is being able to use a lightsaber. This unit was created with the purpose of fighting against Jedi and assassinating other high-valued targets. While the unit and it's highly advanced AI was in it's infancy, it went erratic during a test run, causing it to go berserk and kill all of the facility's staff in the room. The testing process was being safely observed by high ranking members of the Sacred Band. Some time later, it's AI stabilized. And the Ziosts were impressed by the killing machine's slaughter, and over the span of six months Z6-66 was eventually brought into Sacred Band of Ziosts as a 'Brother' in it's own right. Fortunately the prototype data from Z6-66's creation is still intact. If Z6-66 proves to be successful for what it was built for, it could lead to the creation of lesser advanced copies being manufactured as was intended.

SKILLS:
Lightsaber Combat – Highly proficient lightsaber duelist.
Computer Use – Proficient with interfacing, hacking, slicing. Not as good as astromech droids.
Piloting – Proficient starfighter pilot
Stealth – Good at hiding, avoiding being detected, and ambushing.

EQUIPMENT
Lightsaber (Red Crystal, Single Bladed)
Standard Energy Shield (All-Encompassing, can absorb three blaster rifle shots or an equivalent amount damage of thereof)
Long Black Cloak (With Hood)

ROLE-PLAYS:
TBA

This is a really well balanced character. The only thing I would recommend is changing its age; becoming a full member of the Sacred Band of Ziost takes several months (if not a couple years) of trials in their arenas. Unless, of course, you plan to roleplay all that out. Otherwise, solid concept.

Thanks man. And yeah, the age thing is fair. I changed it to six months. I hope that's a safe number :)

Hey there, welcome to the site!

Pretty nice looking character you've got here. The SBZ can always use more assassin droids.

The only things that stand out to me at a glance are the "tractor beam projector" and "lightning projector". To me, it seems these tools are acting as emulators for telekinesis and Force lightning, and could be a tad sketchy in the RP if not properly defined. For instance, how powerful are they? What are their effective ranges? What can X6-66 do with the "tractor beam", exactly? Lift people? Large objects? Steal blaster/lightsabers/weapons in general from another character's hands and/or person?

I'll be honest and say that I'm not exactly a tech savvy guy when it comes to magical Star Wars wizadry, so someone who knows more about this (like @Clayton - our resident tech Admin, or @Outlander - a dude who knows his way around magical SW technobabble) can offer their expert opinions on those points. They may recommend you provide some further detail on those things here in your profile, or request a separate tech profile write up for them.

OR, and this is a much stronger possibility, I'm just overstepping my bounds and have no idea what I'm talking about. Haha!

In any event, everything looks pretty great to me. Looking forward to seeing this guy... robot... thingy around!

Thanks man. That is a good idea about giving specfiics on them. I'll be sure to edit and properly define them :)

@Gamov called me tech knowledgeable.

Dreams do come true.

But yeah, I'll put some thoughts down on this little beauty in a bit.

Hmm. Ok, so I'll have to look at this like a normal tech profile even though it's being used for a character. That in mind, here's what stands out.

I'm really iffy on the tractor beam and lighting. Generally, miniaturized tech isn't particularly good, even later when we see some in the CW. It's why we don't really see many personal repulsorlifts. So having really energy intensive systems like a tractor beam and lighting projector are probably beyond the scope of what's possible.

You may be able to get away with the Energy Shield, although youd need to further describe it with its benefits and drawbacks. Your collected defense should be three hits of less before all defenses in that area are destroyed, so keep that in mind when figuring out shield and armor totals.

I'd probably remove the deflection. The only reason Jedi can really do it is because of the force, and we haven't really seen droids with good enough reflexes to imitate that.

This is just a personal note on the character, but you may want to consider removing his starfighter ability as well, so you can focus straight on fighting and or assassinating Jedi.

Besides those notes, I want to say I really like the concept and feel of this. It harkens back to the IG droids, which I always enjoyed in TCW.

Thanks for the sound advice everyone! Yeah, I removed the tractor beam and lightning projector. Probably better that way.

I dialed back on deflection and starfighter piloting rather than removing them outright. I think the deflection is balanced this way now. He isn't going to be out-deflecting any Jedi any time of the week. Although if it does still seem to stand out feel free to let me know. Even with the energy shield, he isn't going to be impervious to blaster fire.

And as for Starfighter piloting, I envision Z6 needing quick ways in and off of planets rather than a shuttle/dropship and plus he may have to take out targets in space too. And having starfighter piloting also would make him less of a one-trick pony as well imo. Even Grievous has his own starfighter in the TCW.

Looking a lot better now. One more thing; you'll need to submit the droid model over on the tech board, and then have the character accepted into the Sacred Band by the FLs.

It's a shame such a good character is gonna have to be archived so soon when one of the significantly cooler cool-guy bro Jedi destroy it at one of their many cool-kid-only frat parties. If only you made a Jedi, you could've been saved.

@Terminator Has this been done yet? I don't know anything about tech, so I'll take Outlander's word for it that the model needs to be submitted. Let me know when that's done, if it does need to be done, and then I'll see about approving it.

Also, I really like the concept! It's extremely interesting.

edit: Oh! Also! There were some misspellings of Sacred to Scared in the profile, just so you're aware :)

Oh oops, I didn't see that post about submitting it as a tech. I'll get to that when I can.
And I'll get to those mispellings lol.

Thanks for all the feedback :)

This character seems really cool. It would be interesting to see someone try to replicate the powers and roles of Sith through a droid. I actually liked the Lightning projector thing since it seemed to fit better with the concept, but I understand why some people don't approve.

I do wonder, however, why everyone is so sure that no one except force users can deflect blaster bolts. Grievous did it all the time.

Either way, I look forward to seeing this guy in an RP, may fight alongside him to defend Korriban. -Sith Brofist-
