OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To sub an NPC that will serve as a general purpose handler for SIS Agent characters.
  • ​Image Credit: Empire Strikes Back
  • Role: A command level Strategic Intelligence Service NPC
  • Links: /
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
  • Age: 65
  • Model: Modified 3PO-Series Protocol Droid
  • Appearance: M-3PO is for all intents and purposes outwardly identical to any other 3PO series protocol droid. His primary distinctive features are a distinctive white plated chassis, and the wear and tear of a decidedly used model.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
  • Name: M-3PO: Human Cyborg Relations, Droid Communications Chief
  • Loyalties: Strategic Intelligence Service, Galactic Alliance
  • Notable Possessions: Threepio has collected few items of any particular worth during his long service span, but it is what is contained within his memory storage unit that constitutes the protocol droid's most valued possessions. M-3PO has not received a memory wipe in decades, undergoing several droid memory upgrades to not only store the massive amounts of intelligence data his duties require him to gather, but to preserve the droid's personality matrix from any critical defects that may arise over time from a lack of reset.
  • Personality: For the most part, Em Threepio possesses the same gratingly cheerful diplomatic subroutines as any other 3PO Series model. However, years without erasure and having served some of the most high profile politicians and Jedi in recent galactic history have given Threepio insights into organic politics that go far beyond the comprehension of most of his kind.
  • Combat Function:
(+) Spymaster: Because of the memory upgrades 3PO has received, his cognitive processors are capable of acquiring and collating massive amounts of data. With a memory spanning as long as any organic's, he also maintains a network of trusted droid contacts for the purposes of clandestine surveillance.
(+) Unassuming: Virtually indistinguishable from any other 3PO series protocol droid, Em Threepio doesn't exactly stand out in a crowd. Like all of his kind, he possesses a sort of natural camouflage in that it simply would not occur to most people to think of a protocol droid as a priority or threat. With one of the most popular faces in the known galaxy, M-3PO can move practically anywhere without seeming out of place.
(-) Coward: Threepio understands that sometimes for things to get done drastic action needs to be taken, but on a personal level the droid abhors violence in any form and is downright useless in a fight, possibly even a hindrance depending on in which direction he flees. Self preservation protocols are deeply embedded in his logic circuits, even to the point of overriding any impulse to help a friend in need.
(-) Data Security: M-3PO's memory banks are a treasure trove of state secrets, and while the protocol droid's personal encryption is enough to deter amateurs, a talented codebreaker could potentially gain access to those files given enough time and close proximity.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

With a service life spanning more than half a century, M-3PO was operational while the galaxy was still at relative peace. Since the time of the first shots fired between resurgent superpowers, Threepio has been in the middle of it all, fortune conspiring to assign him to one influential historical figure after another. The protocol droid's uncanny ability to survive unlikely odds and eminent aptitude for his primary function of translation eventually earned him enough consideration to receive a series of upgrades to his memory storage unit, allowing him to store sensitive data in large quantities and necessitating that he go for longer and longer periods of time without any sort of memory wipe.

First serving the Republic, then the Alliance, eventually Em Threepio passed into the brief possession of an intelligence officer, his master taking advantage of the droid's unique upgrades and in doing so inadvertently exposing him to the world of intelligence. The longer 3PO's memory remains intact, the more prone he becomes like most droids to developing odd personality quirks. One of these earliest quirks was an inexplicable desire to befriend not only the organics he met as part of his primary function, but all of droidkind as well, even though to know other droids serves no practical purpose. It was this intelligence officer who, before she was killed in action, pointed out the potential for this network of contacts Threepio had unwittingly developed as an intelligence gathering tool to her superiors.

M-3PO's value to the Strategic Intelligence Service skyrocketed practically overnight, as the droid was able to provide actionable high level intel faster than most of their established sources purely through an exchange of encrypted transmissions between old 'friends' operating in public places throughout the galaxy. First coming into possession of a Jedi Marshal followed by several Admirals, Threepio eventually found himself acting as a personal aide to the Galactic Alliance Triumvirate's Chief of State. While ostensibly Em Threepio is the current Chief's property, in recent years he has found himself in a most unusual position of being his own droid to a large degree. His official position as Droid Communications Chief often requires that he relay or even give orders rather than carry them out as he was originally designed to.
