Goran
The Original Robot Space Ninja
NAME: Goran (Originally, the character had a last name, but that was ruined by The Force Unleashed)
FACTION: Shard Network
RANK: N/A
SPECIES: Shard
AGE: 900+
SEX: Asexual, no preference for pronoun
HEIGHT: .96 Meters
WEIGHT: 200 Kilograms
EYES: N/A
HAIR: N/A
SKIN: Goran's shell is black with gold accents, as its previous solid matte black look was deemed too hard on the eyes by just about everyone.
FORCE SENSITIVE: Quite
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
(+) Cuddly Wuddly- Goran looks like an astromech, and just about everyone thinks astromechs are adorable. This makes it much easier to catch a target off guard.
(+) Master Swordsbeing- Goran is an excellent duelist, seamlessly blending Makashi and Soresu into a comprehensive style well suited to its capabilities.
(+) Gotta Blast 'em All- Thanks to centuries of experience, Goran can modify nearly any man portable weapon for use on its chassis. It can't be done quickly and requires a full workshop, but it can be done.
(-) Maneuverability- Though Goran's chassis has been thoroughly upgraded to allow it to traverse smooth terrain far more quickly than your typical astromech, it still has limited maneuverability on rough terrain. It can handle grass and gravel well enough, but moving in a forest, over loose sand, or extremely rocky terrain isn't gonna happen. And since the myriad modifications that allow it to use weaponry take up a lot of space, it lacks the thruster seen on other models.
(-) No Offensive Force Powers- Goran is skilled in Absorb and is capable of sensing and tracking large numbers of beings over a wide area, but it cannot so much as move a pebble with the Force. If it Absorbs enough energy, it can create convincing illusions by manipulating light, but it cannot implant images in a target's mind.
APPEARANCE:
Unless Goran has an external weapon mounted, it resembles a standard R2 series astromech. Its shell is black with gold accents.
BIOGRAPHY:
Goran is one of the oldest living Shards in existence. Though not even it knows exactly how old it is, records of it exist dating several decades before the fall of the Old Republic. It was once a powerful and respected Iron Knight, considered a peer of beings like [member="Eralam"]. It is believed that Palpatine's purge of the Shard race drove it mad for a time. Though no records exist of its activities in these dark years, rumors of an astromech slaughtering its way through hordes of Imperials were told in hushed whispers by Imperial personnel.
It has gone into hiding and resurfaced many times over the years, reinventing itself each time. Around 150 ABY, it was known to associate with Sith. A few hundred years later, it spent several decades living as a Mandalorian. There are some in the Shard Network that doubt the current Goran is the same one, instead opting to believe that its name has been taken up by a series of Shards over the centuries. Eralam, however, remembers the original, and though even he admits that there have been drastic changes from the kind and honorable Iron Knight he once knew, he's fairly confident that the original still lurks somewhere below the surface.
It can't be said that Goran aligns with one side of the Force or another. Shards typically don't experience emotions in the same way that organics do, and thus lack the context to fully appreciate Light and Dark. Having said that, if a Shard could be said to linger on the Dark, Goran would be that Shard. It delights in violence, not as a means to an end, but as an end in and of itself. There are few things it enjoys more than a good fight, and it's not just a simple brawler. Underestimate it as a harmless droid or as a knuckle-dragging Myrmidon at your own risk.
After the most recent purge of Force users from the ranks of the Mandalorians, Goran sought refuge with The Sith Empire. Though it was never much for Light or Dark side based philosophy, it feels more at home among the ranks of Sith than it ever would with Jedi. Unfortunately, that too turned out to be a waste of time, so now it finds itself knocking on the First Order's door. Perhaps there it'll find a home.
