Name: SC-1 XLR; Bucket; Honcho-Poncho of the Suma Gang (according to Mulligan & Gilbert); Chief Bodyguard & Protector of High Councillor Sivas
Loyalties: Lords of the Fringe; @Anders Sivas & [member="Jared Ovmar"]
Role: Bucket is the personal bodyguard and protector of Anders Sivas, High Councillor of the Fringe and former lover of [member="Jared Ovmar"]. Jared had Bucket built for Andra to protect her, and due to that Bucket was given an upgraded android brain, which could grow & come to sentience over time. Bucket is extremely loyal and dedicated to Anders' wellbeing to the point of disregarding commands if it thinks another way will keep Anders (A known non-combattant) out of harm's way.
Development Threads:
- Cestus Droid Expo (Where Anders goes Droid Buying and discovers Jared Ovmar was already making her a bodyguard for a present)
- Bucket List (Where Anders takes Bucket to Cestus Cybornetics to get its brain re-vamped)
- Oh Dreamer, Daring Is Not Often Wise (Where Bucket catches Anders after she was attacked & gets her & the Sumatiyara out into space where she could get help.)
- Trance, Trance Little Child Lost (Where Bucket takes Anders to see Ilias Nytrau for the first time)
- The Worst Dominion Ever (Where Bucket defends Anders & Jared from Mikhail Shorn, albeit a second too late)
- Learning Apathy (Where Bucket escorts Anders to Lucien Cordel)
- Restless Wanderer, Always Lost (Where Bucket watches over Anders as Mikhail Shorn comes to visit)
- Skye is Fallow (Where Bucket sticks with Anders, Lucien & Mikhail as they deal with Lipsec for a final time)
- Justice For All Dominion of Chalcedon (Where Bucket patches into the communications network at Command Central & stays firmly by Anders' side as she leads Team Three)
- Sanctum Sweet Mix Vol. 1: Dark Side of the Dance Hall (Where Bucket hums some tunes, and tries on his new fedora hat, while keeping Anders protected during the Dominion of Lorrd.)
Species: Engineered android (SC1-Class Battle Droid)
Force-Sensitive: No.
Appearance: SC1-Class Battle Droid that has decided to wear 'human clothes' and can often be found in odd-fitting off-the-rack suits, and a fedora.
Personality: Bucket's personality can be best described as 'mostly'. He's mostly calm, superior and commandingly authoritative with the other droids owned by Anders, mostly congenial and entertaining to other sentients and mostly vicious & debilitating to any threats that present themselves to its' 'boss'. In the presence of sentients or when Anders is out and about in the universe, Bucket stays silent and a step behind, but once alone, or among those Bucket considers amicable, he can break out into 'song', cut a rug on the dance floor or order the other droids around then sit back with a nice pint of motor oil and a good holonovel. Bucket continues to grow through experience, and Bucket's personality will continue to develop over time.
Weapon of Choice:
Wealth: Bucket has put itself in charge of Anders Sivas' trust fund given to her by her lover Jared Ovmar after they parted ways. It's not massive, but enough to keep her and her crew of droids & Pathfinder-Class ship the Sumatiyara comfortable for the long haul. Bucket uses the trust fund to pay for the Sumatiyara
Combat Function: Bucket's function in combat is to protect and ensure the survival of Anders Sivas. Focussed on ranged weapons and a variety of blasters, rifles, scatterguns and ballistic technology from the Fringe Military & Anders' personal supply. Due to Bucket's function as a bodyguard, it carries subroutines which will pull Anders out of a situation if the danger and threat analyses are 'too hot'. Whether Bucket succeeds in pulling Anders out is based upon the events of the RP. As Anders Sivas is the High Councillor for Military Affairs, Bucket sees combat situations on a near-weekly basis and coordinates with the other droids in Anders' employ to keep the High Councillor safe.
Bucket's strengths and weaknesses in combat are based around the SC-1 Class Battle Droid as approved in the Factory. The only difference between Bucket and a normal SC-1 is his addition of a personal shield, and the development of a stronger, more sentient android brain.
Skills:
- Threat Analysis
- Commanding Droids (Or just being a droid-jerk)
- Financial Planning
- The Care & Contentment of the Human Female (Health & Wellness, Nutrition, Emotional Support)
- Communications
Other Notes: Bucket is as much a conversational companion for Anders as a bodyguard and Anders continues to bring the droid into situations where it can use its' learning android brain and grow as its own sentient being. If Anders Sivas is anywhere, the likelihood of Bucket being beside her is 100%.
