PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: B14-NC4, known also by her alias of "Bianca", stands at an even 180 centimeters and weighs in at 70 kilos. Her skeletal structure is made entirely of phrik, providing incredible protection from most harm that would otherwise prove fatal. Designed to mimic the human biology as much as possible, the unit is equipped with a false circulatory system and simulated nervous system, and is indistinguishable from any other human - to the extent of being able to fool medical sensors. Her skin is a wonderful mesh of biofiber and synthskin which mimics human skin to great success, with this specific model's skin tone being somewhat on the tan side. Her hair, although replaceable, is dark brown and her eyes - incredibly well designed with extreme attention to detail - are a deep blue hue.
PERSONALITY DEFINITION: B14-NC4 has been something of an enigma. She existed, originally, as a human replica droid belonging to the ASN model line, a series of droids that were produced to experiment on the nature of sentient programming. A dozen or more droids were produced, each dropped on various backwater worlds infested with criminals, and were monitored for eighteen months while they attempted to blend in with the rest of the organic life they came into contact with. Those that were unable to assimilate were rounded up and recycled for parts, while those that assimilated and formed vague forms of self-awareness were retrieved for their upgrade to prototype units that were each one of a kind. "Bianca", or ASN-B14-NC4, was one of these select few that were considered a success and this specific unit was designed, programmed, and tailored to the personality and habits that B14 had formed while living on Nar Shaddaa.
Following this "rebirth" of sorts, Bianca has displayed far more human reactions to situations that trigger emotional responses. She's still quite capable of killing a faceless foe or someone she has no personal connection with, finding it far easier to pull the trigger on someone that she knows almost nothing about, but because of her new emotional capabilities she is sensitized to things like connections and finds it hard to bring harm to those will little understanding of the world around them - feeling pity for those with enough sentience to comprehend the ramifications of their own deaths. Overall, following her transition to this unique unit, she displays a greater sensitivity to emotions than the average person.
Traits
SPECIALIZATION: AssassinationSTRENGTHS:
- Physical Superiority - Unit B14-NC4, much like most other Human Replica Droids, possesses superior strength to normal humans.
- Faux Biology - All of the ODT-ASN series Human Replica Droids have been designed to remain inconspicuous and blend in with the human populous, as shown by their inner-workings which convince nearly all but the most advanced sensors and scanners that they are human - and failing that, that they are at least some sort of unknown biological species.
Phrik Bone Structure - Although not quite as lightweight as human bones, the phrik structure, designed to mimic the human skeleton, provides incredible durability and protection from potential damage. The most vital of B14-NC4's components, such as her droid brain, are stored within a phrik skull.
Heightened Processing Power - Containing a specialized secondary processing unit, a mathematical subprocessor, B14-NC4 is capable of utilizing a mathematical approach to a given scenario, such as determining probability, at a heightened rate of efficiency. This processing unit is designed specifically to increase the speed and efficiency at which mathematical equations can be applied to a situation and solved. An example of this being used to her benefit would be to calculate the trajectory of a bullet for the purposes of assassination.
- Unique - Though most droids are generally capable of easy and quick repairs due to the availability of parts and supporting manufacturers that may produce that model of droid, B14-NC4 was produced entirely in secret, with her as the sole unit made with the schematics used to create her, and due to the nature of Human Replica Droids in general this means a very limited form of support for repairs. A droid repair shop would be unable to attend to her, much less realize she is a droid in most instances, and any emergency facilities would be unable to treat her. Her only support would come directly from Onadax Droid Technologies. Not only is her uniqueness an issue, she is one of, if not the most, expensive droids in the galaxy - her repairs are something she simply would not be able to afford without great financial contribution from an outsider.
Data Gap - Despite being equipped with an advanced personality matrix, which allows B14 to think and feel as though she were any ordinary human being, she still has trouble understanding the emotionally-charged decisions that organics make, and becomes extremely flustered and more or less becomes a nervous wreck when experiencing one of these herself. This is perhaps due to the migration of her data and consciousness from her previous model to this largely more advanced model, creating gaps in understanding that might have came naturally without any amount of stress if she had been created and programmed with this particular model and its hardware in mind. In some ways she is more naive, while other times overwhelmed when attempting to make a choice between the logical decision or the emotional one. A similar scenario would be a hormonal teenager just entering puberty - with the emotional understanding of an eight year old.
Flagship Simulation - Just as any prototype serves the purpose of acting as a proof of concept, as well as a way to discover any potential faults in a given invention, B14 acts as a prototypical unit for the eventual model line that will be produced with a similar, but cheaper, schematic and hardware. Because of this she is subject to an experimental programming for sentience, which is not limited like a normal droid might be in order to grant her the fullest experience as a free-thinking entity might were they organic, and similarly experimental heuristic processor. Due to the nature of being experimental, and thus being the first to be equipped with this programming, she is potentially capable of running into malfunctions or glitches and errors that could cause harm to herself and potentially those around her. An example of this would being subjected to an intense emotional episode and locking up due to an unexpected infinite loop, causing a full system reboot that could take several minutes - which, in the case of a real world example, would be witnessing someone that has grown incredibly close to her die and having a system crash. These issues could permanently alter her data and personality, perhaps even to a greater extent than one suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to the importance that her droid brain places on writing her personality and consciousness through experience. The only possible form of recovery for these issues would be a full system wipe, erasing her entire memory bank and effectively restarting her personality growth from day 1. In either scenario, B14-NC4 will be irreversibly effected in some negative way if a major system error or malfunction were to occur, which is calculated to have a seventy-percent probability of occurrence in the span of B14's period of activation.
Achilles' Heel - Ion weapons, from blasters to cannons, are the bane of nearly all droids' existences. B14-NC4 is no exception, fully vulnerable to the effects of ion weapons. And, unlike the previous model she had inhabited prior, the phrik skeletal structure is not encapsulated by a material to harden it from short-range EMP bursts, sacrificing that edge to blend in further with the rest of humanity.
