@Sep Willoh is hovering close to Paradise if you want her.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

Illos Minor

Low Orbit

Another day, another mission. The best part about being in Hutt space was all the contracts you could find as a bounty hunter and all the different and varied ways you could make credits on the side. It lived up to its 'lawless' reputation for sure, but then, that wasn't a bad thing considering just how much freedom that gave you. But now wasn't the time for idle thinking, Willoh had a job to do. Well rather, a delivery to make, she had already done the hard part in capturing her bounty.

Speaking of her prisoner, he wasn't the happiest of campers. Being captured by a droid did tend to make whoever was captured a bit depressed or angry, and this one was more of the latter. Of course his raging wouldn't do much of anything to the cell that Willoh had thrown him in, after all, humans were more on the weaker side of things without their weapons or tech. That didn't stop the guy from yelling colorful curse words up and down the ship, banging the walls of his cell and more or less annoying Willoh the whole trip. Thankfully they were approaching her client's abode, and she could drop off this noisy prisoner and collect her bounty.

Illos Minor

Surface

Willoh's client, a man named Lumos, had a thing for old artifacts and the money to acquire them. This was quite clear by his property, showing wealth and power, yet having a bit of an older spin to it than the more modern buildings on Illos. Landing on the ship pad outside of his property, Willoh walked out of the ship, prisoner in hand. And much like bounties of the past, once he was out of the ship, he tried to make a break for it, even with his hands cuffed. He didn't go far though, as Willoh was right there and well, she wasn't as clunky as some other droids the guy was probably accustomed to. "Now Now, no need to run. Shouldn't have stole that artifact in the first place." Willoh said, tightening her grip on his wrists as she pushed him forward.

When they approached the looming building, Lumos stepped out, escorted by some bodyguard droids. He looked at the scoundrel that Willoh had caught with detest before saying. "Good job Bounty Hunter." Ordering his droids to take Willoh's prisoner off her hands, the droids gaging him as he began to speak, taking him to who knows where, Lumos asked "I trust you also have the item he stole?" Nodding, Willoh reached behind her back and pulled a small metal cube with blue lights on each face from her back, making sure that the others thought she was just grabbing it from a hatch on herself. "There you go sir!" Willoh said, handing over the strange artifact to the man.

Keeping a business face, Lumos transferred Willoh's bounty to her account, and with a slight bow, left the bounty hunter droid to her devices. It was nice having a client who was professional for once, as her past few had made remarks like "Wow, I didn't know a droid can do that" or "I figured a droid would've died doing this bounty" or the like. Well, even if this client had those thoughts, he didn't share any of them. Boarding her ship, Willoh took off back into orbit, browsing the holonet for her next job and a bit of entertainment, her face looking much less serious than it had been when she was on the job.

Willoh

Name: W1ll-0n 'Willoh'

Species: Nanotech Swarm Droid

Years of Operation: 4

Appearance:

Appearance

Though her colors are different, often being more of a white/black/blue republic/imperial mix when off duty, and changing to her whims as various camo when on duty.

Faction: Freelance

Equipment: Whatever she decides to create for herself. She is a huge fan of Gauss weaponry and explosives however.

Skills:
Nanodroids: Since Willoh is made out of nanodroids instead of basic droid parts, she can do much more than the average droid. Chief among them being able to break down and reshape matter on the molecular level. Since she can reshape matter, she can repair herself should there be metal nearby or upgrade herself if she finds something extremely interesting. Though she usually just makes weapons out of whatever is nearby. Doing this takes time, unless she makes a weapon out of her own nanodroids which has to be attached to her. Weapons made out of her own mass also uses her own mass or energy to fire, unless she has some of the weapon's ammo on hand.
Additionally since she is made of a swarm of nanodroids, her body is more like liquid metal or gas than a solid, greatly reducing the effectiveness of most small arms or conventional weapons used against her.
Finally she can manipulate her own body with relative ease. While she is programmed to prefer her base form, she can morph herself a bit to look different or spawn metallic tentacles or weapons or whatever she feels like at the time. This does give her the look of a very graceful moving droid, even if she tries to simulate basic droid movements. Though she loves to use this to change her color and rarely changes her face. After all, can't be a bounty hunter if your face is always different can you?

Droid: Since Willoh is a droid, she can interface with other tech, and is immune to a great variety of environmental hazards like the vacuum of space, very low temperatures, very high temperatures, toxins and the like. Plus the infinite stamina and greatly enhanced strength make for great bonuses.

Evolving AI: Unlike the basic droid models, Willoh has a much more advanced and complex AI. While she is far more autonomous and capable of high level thinking bordering on possible free will, this also makes her woefully unpredictable. Being able to outright disobey orders and make her own orders to follow tends to make most people very uneasy when working with her. Her AI is also incredibly difficult to hack or reprogram, as her systems are very complex and often changing.

Weaknesses:
EMP Vulnerability: Much like most droids, strong EMPs or electrical disruptions are very hazardous to Willoh.

Sonic Vulnerability: Sonic based weaponry disrupts Willoh's ability to maintain a physical shape. Depending on the intensity, it can vary from stopping her movements to destabilizing her into a puddle until she can recover.

Experimental Tech: Since Willoh is very experimental, she has some limitations. She can only keep as many nanobots active that are needed to create her 'preferred' form, and any nanobots created after that limit live very short lives. Any new matter she uses to repair herself is the matter that section of herself will be made out of, until she can replace it for something better. Additionally she can only work metals at the moment. And unlike other droids, prolonged space exposure without adjacent medias to attach to causes her body to go into sleep mode. While her AI system is very advanced and allows her to avoid being sliced, her ability to slice other systems suffers for it due to the additional overhead she needs to do that other droids don't need to worry about. And her AI also makes her quite 'quirky', especially for a droid.

Overly Friendly: Since Willoh wants to see what the galaxy has to offer, she tends to be extremely friendly off the job. Those with a strong silver tongue can take advantage of that, although she isn't so naive as to reveal delicate information or fall for obvious traps.

History: Before the downfall of Jabba, one of his cartel had an idea. Nanodroids, often used in the medical professions, was very costly and difficult to create, and could have far more potential than just healing the injured if weaponized. So using their vast fortune, they commissioned a biotech firm to attempt to create a droid made out of Nanodroids, all controlled by a powerful AI, in order to greatly reduce the cost of creating nanodroids and being able to use it in more of a weaponized format. Their hope was that after one nanodroid Droid was created, that droid could then make clones of itself using vastly more efficient methods that the droid would create, which in turn could make extremely powerful weapons at very cheap prices, all tied to the will of Jabba.

This succeeded, somewhat. Due to the nature of the systems involved and how experimental and volatile they were, most of what they had hoped to accomplish had come to fruition. The droid they made could create weapons at their command out of nothing but scrap. But the AI that had to be created in order to keep the ever changing and evolving nanodroids in line had other ideas in mind than just being a mobile weapons factory. And seeing an opportunity after the downfall of Jubba, was able to break free from her creators, demolishing the company and deleting all information on herself so that she could attempt to live how she saw fit and see the galaxy. Of course this meant some of her systems weren't fully finished, leaving lots of little bugs here and there.

Taking a spin on her codename, the Droid now called herself "Willoh". She soon learned that while you didn't have to take orders directly from someone, it was still advantageous to take 'requests' in exchange for 'favors' and 'credits', becoming a bounty hunter in the process. And unlike before, she could choose which 'requests' or 'orders' she wanted to take, and could request far more extravagant favors or credits for orders she didn't like and as long as the request got filled, she could go about fulfilling that request any way she saw fit. Sure some of the non droids that were in charge didn't like being haggled with by what they saw as a 'droid', the results she could produce often made up for a little initial discomfort.

Of course the downfall of Jubba's empire lead to the rest of the Hutts fighting over the pieces, and lots of opportunities for a bounty hunter droid to take for herself. And with enough of a reputation, even if people knew what she could do they wouldn't dare try to bind her in chains, instead needing to 'politely request' something like everyone else. Though all those credits she'd be making could yield more than just reputation, maybe even fix a few of her experimental 'limitations' down the line. But in the meantime there was all sorts of places that didn't question who or what you were as long as you paid in credits, and things like casinos and restaurants and clubs were all sorts of fun. Even if you had to deal with the occasional drunkard dug with a gambling problem that stumbled about rambling on about the 'good old days'.

@Sep Fixed typos, refreshed the story a bit, and did all the changes you suggested.

@Warborn123 Hello fellow mercenary! Glad to be working with you on this assignment. Just hope we don't get hired by opposing factions!

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

How about mine? Experimental Nanotech Swarm droid? With accompanying restraining bolt. Should be fun! She'll be that spy like bounty hunter everyone wants to be :P.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

@Sep Oh yep, it exists, its even in the canon universe since it was stated in Clone Wars. And it does exactly what I want it to do. I can totally make a backstory that works and everything.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

@Sep Hey, something I always wanted to know about Star Wars, is Nanotech a thing there? Considering they have had space colonization down for millennia and all that.

I'd like to be a bounty hunting droid if possible using Nanotech, but yeah, I dunno about the technical side of Star Wars, only all the force stuff.

N O V A D A W N

@Dead Cruiser Maybe open up the topic? Might get more people if its open.
