Considering this was a fight against a big boss, Blazermate wasn't too surprised at how hectic the battle was going. Magic and fire flying, plants coming out of the ground, and bullets flying. What she didn't expect was the Courier to shoot her between the eyes at random while in the air healing DK, knocking her for a loop and causing her to fall the 4 or so feet she was hovering. With a flourish, Blazermate flipped up like you'd see in an anime, her medibeam hand being used to heal herself. "What in sam hill is wrong with you, boy?" She said angerly, her Engineer accent coming out in full force. Thankfully Zer0 sort of quelled her anger at being targted by shooting the courier for her, and apparently causing Dragon Bowser a bit of... pain? Not much, but, it was something.
Thanks to the efforts of comrades both new and old, almost everyone besides a kid with a cape and pistol was freed from their cages. but Dragon bowser didn't appreciate being damaged from Zer0's shot and the magic being thrown around. With a bellow, the giant dragon turtle got into his massive shell and spun around the room, eventually crashing into a wall as he tried to do some damage. Blazermate was able to easily dodge this attach by just jumping high and hovering in the air. As she surveyed the battlefield, she saw Tora and his ally attempt to attack MegaDragonBowser but fail miserably, while Bowser tried his hand at fighting the monster and was also casually thrown out of the room, back to where they had entered.
"This is a tough one, although he doesn't seem to do much beyond what our bowser does..." Blazermate thought to herself. When she saw the friend hearts going out to the captives, she had an idea. Landing away and out of sight of MegaDragonBowser, she pulled out a toolbox and began to construct a sentry. With MegaDraognBowser and only a few others being under Galeem's control, the sentry would be much more helpful. As she was constructing the sentry, The Courier came running up to Blazermate, firing a shot that missed. But before she could wind up a punch on the approaching cowboy, he blurted out his plan and why he had shot Blazermate and a few other allies.
She let out a sigh, telling the courier. "Fiiine. But I've also gotta heal everyone else." So far she had her medibeam on herself, as while she could heal herself, it wasn't as effective as healing others. Using one hand to heal, and the other to build the sentry, she gave the Courier a bit of healing. But considering the relative healthiness of everyone who wasn't the courier or bowser, the latter she couldn't tell because she couldn't see him, she was able to put more of her effort into building the sentry and quickly got it to level 2.
With two audible beeps, the sentry locked onto MegaDragonBowser and fired round after round at him with its twin chainguns, never stopping or missing as it had the big guy in its sights. Blazermate, much like she did before, hid behind her new bit of cover while hitting it with her hand to refill its ammo and potentially get it to level 3, while using her other hand to heal the injured, which at this point was mostly the courier and the people in cages. Linkle and Mario weren't nearly as damaged, the courier's bullets apparently doing very little to them in the grand scheme of things.
Still working on her. Dunno if I should add more sections since shes a solo droid.
As a player, what is your preferred writing level? Several paragraphs
Is grammar and depth of writing important to you? I tend to try for depth and good grammar, but I do also rely a lot on spell check.
Are there any writing subjects you particularly enjoy exploring? Character development and growth, usually through fun scenarios.
Is there anything you really dislike and want to avoid like the plague? Droid memory wipes, this just erases all character development. Droid slicing CAN work, but should be avoided due to the fact it takes control away.
Is there something you are uncomfortable with happening to your character? Besides the whole them dying thing, probably unfair combat. And by unfair, I mean powergaming/doing the impossible/ext...
Do you have any short-term or long-term goals with this character? Short term: to be a renowned bounty hunter or scoundrel and make lots of credits for upgrades. Oh, and acquire a shield generator. She'll need to explore this ever present world to figure out what her purpose will be, besides upgrading herself over and over. Long Term: Constantly upgrade my character until shes eventually basically a dark trooper MK3+ with better equipment. Maybe find a hunting buddy, who knows? The world changes, and she is programmed to change and evolve with it.
Identification: Evolution Class 01 Imperial Prototype Assassin (EC1 - IPA) "Eclipsa" Series: Prototype in HK shell World of assembly: Space Station in the Korriban system. Age: 2 Degree: Experimental (4th primarily, but can flex into 1-3) Purpose: To constantly improve and evolve, both technologically and socially. Current Owner: Solo / Revae Jenhâsk (Loosely) Previous owner(s): Imperial Experimental Sciences (IES) Current Owner Affiliations: Friendly Relations
Chassis design, limbs, means of locomotion and coloration: Dark Grey HK chassis with modified arms. One arm is equipped with a customized chemical thrower that can easily swap the chemicals inside it, with attachments for presurrized spray, gas spray, flamethrowing, or whatever is needed. Her other arm is a standard HK series arm for external weapon use. Bipedal movement. Installed software and firmware: Prototype evolution programming, Assassination Protocols, Slicing Protocols. Standard model or modified design: Heavily modified HK unit Programmed personality: Quirky, Chipper Known flaws: Due to the experimental nature of Eclipsa, she can be very glitchy and have parts seize up or malfunction at random. Restraining bolt: Not Attached
Detailed appearance. Imagery insufficient.
Eclipsa looks like a modified dark grey HK series droid with a slightly bulkier body frame, Her right arm looks normal, but her left arm has a built in chemical sprayer/Carbonite sprayer. She also wears a pink bow thats clipped to her head when she isn't doing any assassination jobs.
Details on programmed features.
Eclipsa's programming makes her evolve at a greatly accelerated rate, with her programming compelling her to constantly upgrade and improve at all times. Thanks to this, she is able to think much more freely than most droids and her constantly evolving systems make her difficult to slice. Her evolution programming allows her to adapt other droid tech into herself after enough experimentation with her new component. Alongside her assassination protocols, she has advanced slicing protocols that let her slice other droids.
Description of all installed hardware modules.
Evolution Droid AI - Eclipsa is programmed to constantly improve and evolve. This makes her AI both highly advanced, and a bit glitchy. She can adapt on the fly, and reprogram herself in order to evolve or incorporate new technology. Due to her evolving programming she is very hard to slice, but this also makes recent upgrades unstable as she adapt her programming to work with them Assassination Protocols - Assassination protocols give Eclipsa extensive knowledge on how to kill her target and the best way to do so. These protocols allow Eclipsa to act as well. Slicing Protocols - Advanced slicing protocols allows Eclipsa to slice lesser droids. Slicing Spike - Cannibalized from an Astromech, Eclipsa has an interface spike that lets her use astromech droid ports. Mimicry Module - Allows Eclipsa to mimic the voice of someone she has recently heard. Protocol Vocabulary Module - Cannibalized from a protocol droid, Eclipsa can understand and speak any language a protocol droid can. Custom Chemical Sprayer - A chemical sprayer with various attachments allowing it to act as a pressurized sprayer, Gas sprayer, flamethrower, or a carbonite projector attachment. Chemical tank can be easily swapped with no issue. Military Optics - Optics include an infrared and nightvision mode.
Equipment not permanently attached to Chassis/limbs.
Personality analysis and details on memory wipe patterns.
Eclipsa is very very 'quirky'. She will tend to try to socialize like an organic race while still incorporating a bit of droid vernacular. She tends to be a bit unstable and while her overall personality is chipper, she has very little in the way of morals, and will casually harm or murder people who try to abduct or mess with her. She is known to hold grudges, but also remember those that are kind to her and will honor deals.
Modifications from base model.
Left arm has a chemical thrower built into it with various attachments that allow it to do a pressurized spray, a gas spray, a flamethrower attachment, a carbonie projector attachment, and an easy access tank swap to change the chemicals being used on the fly. Her right arm is fairly standard to allow external weapon use. The body is a bit bigger than normal, to allow future upgrading and incorporation of other droid parts such as an astromech slicing spike and a protocol droid vocabulary module. Her head looks fairly standard for an HK unit, with a few mods for infrared and nightvision optics. Her body lacks a power button or a memory wipe button, she instead uses a complex internal mechanism to turn herself on and off. And of course her programming is entirely experimental, allowing her to upgrade herself as she sees fit.
Uses for which the droid is of limited or no use.
Due to having an HK model base, moving through republic space is very tricky. Additionally her experimental nature makes her prone to glitches and instability from time to time.
Purpose for droid.
To evolve and potentially become a powerful weapon for the Empire. Hopefully a droid of her design will help progress droid technology faster for the Empire.
Past achievements.
Successfully incorporating other droid tech. Successfully bringing in the bounty of a few smugglers who thought she would be an easy mark, alongside the ship they so generously left her with upon their departure.
Past failures.
<None for now>
Droid history. To be given to any future owners upon purchase if requested. Last updated shortly after last achievement or failure of note.
Evolution Class 01 Imperial Prototype Assassin (EC1 - IPA) or "Eclipsa" as she calls herself is an escaped experimental droid design made by the empire in order to get a leg up over the republic. With a wave of super adaptive, extremely intelligent assassination droids under the command of the empire, they could have an unstoppable army that would allow them to conquer the galaxy. Of course the problem with being in the empire are there are sith who are constantly trying to gain power over each other, and when one of these sith learn of a new super droid based on the systems found on Belsavis, they would want to have that power over their rivals. And before her loyalty programming could be fully complete, she broke out of the facility that made her with the help of the Sith Inquisitor Revae Jenhâsk. Wanting to get on this droid's good side seeing as it was supposed to be extremely dangerous if she tried to dominate the droid, Revae asked the droid for a few favors to repay for her release, which the droid agreed to.
Upon being let loose upon the galaxy, Eclipsa began to enact her programming and looked for ways to upgrade herself. She quickly learned how to research, slice, and cannibalize other droids for their components and how to modify her own body and programming. It didn't take long for her to realize the importance of slicing, and cannibalized an imperial astromech for its slicing capabilities. She analyzed her HK droid base and removed or replaced what was unneeded or detrimental such as the ability for others to memory wipe her or turn her off, and began to fashion her own cobbled together upgrades. While she spent her time upgrading her body, she also upgraded her mind, learning about the galaxy at large, or as much as she could. The holonet, when she discovered it, was a wealth of information alongside the libraries and people of other worlds.
Soon after learning just how much information she could learn and use to evolve, she sought out and cannibalized a protocol droid for its module that allowed it to speak and understand a myriad of other languages in order to accelerate her learning. Soon she began to develop a personality of her own and started to call herself a lady, adopting the name "Eclipsa", a slight change of the frenetic of her model designation, to try to socialize better with the organic races of the galaxy. After all, she was a solo droid, and it didn't take long for her to realize that the galaxy would take advantage or distrust her because of that fact.
Even though her loyalty programming wasn't finished, Eclipsa tended to favor the empire over the republic as she was much more free to travel imperial space over republic space, and while the empire or even the hutts weren't the nicest of folks, they did offer her work. Plus she still owed that sith for giving her freedom, and an ally at the higher branches of the empire was grand. Sure some would try to lure her into a trap to sell her for parts, but she was far too smart for this to work and that often lead to dead scoundrels and claimed bounties on their heads if they had any. A year of stuff like this taught her that she had to be very self sufficent, and she sought out lessons on how to make and maintain weapons. Eventually she came to the conclusion that blasters were fine for generalist purposes, but more specialized weapons were both harder for enemies to deal with, and far more effective at certain situations.
Two years of upgrading and learning about the galaxy and Eclipsa is still growing. Having outfitted herself with weapons she deemed superior to others, learning how to efficiently deal with her jobs, and a small but budding bounty hunting career over the horizon, she is ready for adventure.
Date and time of last memory wipe.
N/A. Memory wipe circuits have been removed due to being seen as a design flaw.
"Oh come on Adam, Swamps aren't so bad! I've gotten a lot of my... jobs... done in swamps. No one expects a will-o-wisp to be lethal." Willow said at Adam's complaints, having left her disguise full of loot in a crate on the edge of town. She ended up buzzing int he general area of Riko. Unlike in an urban area, she wasn't too worried about people seeing her in an area such as a swamp, especially since she could easily be mistaken for a big dragonfly.
"But don't get me wrong, taking stuff from a pompous, fat, gross merchant does sound much easier." She said, stinting a laugh as Adam was almost freaking out at all the bugs that were around the swamp. She'd skewer any bugs that tried to attack her thinking they'd get a free meal, which incidentally kept a lot of bugs away from Riko.
The fighting wrapped up fairly quickly with a few new allies in toe and a lot of wounds for Blazermate to heal up. At least she was equipped to do so, healing the worst injured before moving up to the more healthy people, the most injured tending to be the new allies they had acquired through their recent fight. "If only I could heal more than 1 person at a time 'sigh'." Blazermate said, channeling her beam on Zer0, having healed a few other members prior. Meanwhile Bowser was taking credit for everything, even though the lug really didn't do much.
As their bolstered group made their way to the castle proper, a bunch of mushroom headed short people ran out in droves. Mario tried to calm them, seeming to know them, but Geno forced him to move on, pointing out what Blazermate already learned; just assume whoever yo meet is controlled by Galeem. While the others dodged or waded through the toads, Blazermate hovered above it all as they made their way into the castle proper. Bowser also gave his little comment about them being wimps, and Blazermate believed him.
Up on a throne sat that flying dragon bowser, and hanging form the ceiling were a bunch of stronger looking characters in cages. A few of them looked like animals, while others just looked.... weird. Much like their bowser, this dragon bowser was full of hot air and bluster, but unlike their bowser, he emitted some strange aura that made her Scan ability be unable to detect weakpoints. Bowser wasn't about to have any of his doppleganger's shenanigans, and commanded his minions to attack.
Seeing all of this, Dragon bowser was roaring for a fight, flaring his aura as he fired a giant fireball into the air, which exploded into a meteor shower of other balls. Pulling out her Short Circuit, Blazermate fired a single energy ball above her to clear away any fireballs that were coming towards her. Since this weapon was the Engineer's, Blazermate understood how to properly use it, and its huge limitation on shots, so she would use the remaining shots sparingly through this battle, seeing as it would be of great use.
Seeing Mario and Geno come up with a plan, Blazermate decided to help them. Of course these captives were still under Galeems control, but then so were the rabbids and they were keen to help those that helped them, so hopefully these captured people would do the same. As Mario made his way to the cage and Geno distracted the dragon bowser, Blazermate started to heal the people inside the cage as well as her allies, starting with the giant gorilla DK. If he was free, it'd make freeing the others much easier. Plus another big boy to act as a shield for her was another bonus. It was a shame she couldn't put down another sentry just yet, but at the same time she figured it would just fire on the caged people, being unable to notice the difference between them and Dragon Bowser.
@Serendipity Sounds like a plan! The idea is being a bounty hunter, your basically a free agent and can realistically interact with everyone at one point or another for the most part. Really leaning towards a droid BH tbh, lots of fun things you can do when you can literally upgrade yourself. ooh, an upgrade obcessive droid who views Bounty hunting as the best way to get experimental tech... hm...
Willow wasn't too found of getting involved in the heavy brawling that was happening in the tavern. Well, to be more precise, she wanted to slice some throats, but that was a tad extreme to do to what was essentially drunkards. And when bakuto decided to breath fire in the alchohol filled enviorment, Willow decided this was a good time to bow out and flew out of the establishment, her disguise trailing behind her like a wisp as she got away from that mess. Soon after the whole place exploded, much to what she figured was going to happen.
When the debree had settled and the place looked safe, Willow made her way back to the wreckage of the bar. Since most of the other patreons had left with her, the only ones left in the wreckage were her crew and a few of the hardier people. She was a bit surprised everyone lived through that, but then worse things could've happened with the dragon boy.
I'd be interested in participating in this, using a bounty hunter that uses whatever to get their bounty. Due to this, they tend to use kinetic weapons over energy weapons/blasters due to them just being superior in every way when using blaster tech in a slug thrower, even if they require a LOT of extra work to keep in operational order/creating the ammo. Maybe make them a droid, since I don't see one of those here, but thats up in the air.
But I have a feeling that wouldn't work if we're using RPG stats.
Blazermate attached her healing beam to Roadhog, noticing he was taking the most damage out of everyone. The others were just jumping into their fights, but the big pig boy was taking bombs to the face from the skinny guy, and that couldn't be good. Plus, he was the closest of all the people to her, and her Sentry also noticed this fact and started to shoot at Junkrat when it finished building, letting out a single beep before it shot at him with perfect accuracy.
Roadhog felt the beam and saw that the omnic had followed him away from the battle. Of course, he was annoyed since he wanted to deal with his friend alone. Plus, it was an omnic that decided to help him out. He had a deep hatred of machines since the Australian government decided to give the Outbreak to them. It was for "long term peace between human and machine" according to the government, but Outback's residents were furious at the deal. Especially Mako Rutledge. He later formed the Australian Liberation Front to restore the land lost to the machines and the rest was history.
Roadhog watched as the sentry managed to land a hit on Junkrat. The junker fired several shots at the sentry from his grenade launcher and ran away from the battle. Roadhog had enough of the machine's presence and turned towards before saying harshly, "Leave, tin can. This is my fight alone."
"And my job is to keep ya'll healed and keep my turret up. You can't survive eating grenades like that." Blazermate replied to Roadhog's protests to her assistance. She jumped up into the sky and hovered there to dodge the bombs that Junkrat sent her way. Sadly due to how weak her sentry was, the superpowered Junkrat was able to destroy it with his barrage of bombs, but then those were bombs that didn't hit anyone else.
"Besides, I'm sure a big boy like you would love to go on a rampage.~" Blazermate continued, watching the slightly injured junkrat retreat, the skinny Australian man trying to get behind some cover before Blazermate could set up another turret. Yeah, this big guy had it rough, only recently getting his answers before getting into another fight, but he didn't seem like too bad of a guy. Pulling out her pistol, she took a few pot shots at the retreating Junkrat, aiming for his crippled leg. This poor fella had a lot of weak points for her to exploit, blazermate thought.
Roadhog grew more angry at the machine while it refused to leave his side. Even with the sentry destroyed, the machine was able to cripple Junkrat with her pistol. Before it could take more shots, Roadhog knocked it out of its hands with his hook. He had enough of the machine and decided to stand between it and his friend. Roadhog was going to be the one to kill his only friend not some omnic from a completely different world. He got his shotgun and chain ready for another fight.
"Leave now or get crushed." Roadhog warned the omnic, ready to stand his ground and prevent it from killing Junkrat.
Blazermate really didn't like how confrontational Roadhog was being towards her. Saying with a clearly annoyed tone in her voice. "Well if you don't want any healing, then I can just go heal anyone else whos fighting." Blazermate said, the others now starting their own fights with either their old allies like Ratchet, or the other people who were guarding the bridge. No one was injured yet, and considering Roadhog was keeping Junkrat busy, Blazermate looked to scavange more materials for another sentry gun. If Roadhog kept being so confrontational, she'd just leave after making another gun. Unlike the engineer before her, she could actually carry a building with her very easily.
However, the insane junker came up with a plan while Roadhog was stalling the omnic. He threw a concussion mine and waited until it landed behind before detonating it. Roadhog was sent tumbling to the ground while he fired several shots at the omnic. And in the moment of peace, Junkrat ran towards cover to fix his crippled leg while firing several more shots. Roadhog got off of the ground and reached for his hydrogen while holding his shotgun. He looked at the omnic and grunted before marching towards his friend.
"Take this!" Junkrat screamed at Roadhog before firing his launcher.
Roadhog took a few hits before inhaling the gas coming from the container. He kept on walking towards him despite being hit from the explosions until he ran out of hogdrogen. Junkrat jumped out of cover and threw one mine towards Roadhog before detonating it. Then, he fired more shots from the launcher and threw another mine at him.
"If this guy is your friend or something, you do know we've gotta cripple him before we can un-brainwash him, right? Ya did hear what the robed guy said right?" Blazermate said, scrounging up some scrap metal in the area. She kept one eye on Roadhog while he was keeping Junkrat busy. Before she could heal him however upon him taking another explosive and being knocked around because of it, she noticed that he had a self healing ability of his own upon inhaling whatever was in his canister. "Well no wonder why hes so snappy, he thinks he can do this all on his own. He so going to die..." Blazermate thought to herself, attempting to deploy another sentry having gathered enough metal from the surrounding scrap. And that was when Roadhog had enough of the pain and fell to the ground. He watched while Junkrat was coming towards him with the determination to kill his bodyguard. With a mechanical sigh, she started to heal Roadhog, moving away from her sentry as it finished building.
"I heard enough, machine." Roadhog answered the machine while trying to get up from the ground. "I don't want him to experience this hell."
Roadhog saw the sentry being built beside him and Junkrat destroyed it with ease. While he was reloading his launcher, Roadhog grabbed his chain and threw it towards him. Junkrat's crippled leg was caught on the hook and it sent him falling to the ground after Roadhog pulled on it. Now, it was time to finish him for good. He got on top of Junkrat and started choking him around the neck with both hands. While he was doing that, the foolish junker tried to free himself. Roadhog could easily snap his neck in the matter of seconds, but all of the good memories with him were preventing that from happening. After all, Junkrat was the first and only true friend in the Outback and the world. And if Junkrat was in his position, the idiot would have done everything to save Roadhog.
So, he let go of his neck and delivered a knockout punch before Junkrat could react. Roadhog angrily hit the ground beside Junkrat and got off of him. He turned towards the machine and said weakly, "Don't you dare touch him."
With a knockout punch, Roadhog subdued Junkrat. With his declaration to Blazermate for her to get away, she shrugged. "Fine fine. Feels like ya don't like a cute robot like me or somthin. Remember, you gotta either kill him for loot, or have someone return his heart." Blazermate said, flying off in a slight huff. Meanwhile a few of the other fights were going on, with Zer0's fight concluding. Seeing the injured Blazermate made her way over to Zer0 and started to heal him, and at his request, Gauge as well.
The weirdest part of this whole fight was, the ones guarding the bridge seemed to ignore Blazermate. In fact, they only ever went after anyone who tried to get past them or whatever attacked them. They apparently had no concept of what a healer was, and Blazermate found that really odd. She voiced this concern to Zer0 and Guage. "Does anyone else notice how these Galeem brainwashed people tend to ignore me while I heal people? Its like they want to lose."
