---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS:
+Diplomat: Eights was built for diplomacy and translates this to excellent fast-talking skills. Whether you're trying to negotiate a peace treaty or fast talk your way out of a hostage situation, Eights is your droid.
+Codesnatcher: Not only is Eights a diplomat, he is also outfitted for espionage. As such, he is able to intercept communications waves, making him a living wire tap. As well as this, Eights can visualize and manipulate code to track n' hack potential targets.
+Discharge: Due to an accident shortly after his creation, Eights has exposed circuitry on his wrists and neck which constantly channel electricity. By focusing his power, Eights can discharge electricity from his wrists to create a powerful short range shock, or overload the circuits on his neck to realize a wider range EMP.
+Backup Drive: Eights's data is linked to the HoloNet, so if his body is ever destroyed he can simply upload himself into a blank slate different droid. If necessary, he can upload himself into a droid that already has its own programming by slicing a way to the droid's neural cortex and overriding its kernel. In this manner, he can 'possess' other droids.
WEAKNESSES:
-Fragile: Eights was built for diplomacy, not battle, and thus has a very frail chassis. He can't take more than a few hits before being seriously damaged.
-Haywire: Eights's "accident" left several parts of his impulse cortex damaged. When it is overworked or stimulated by the correct wavelength from the outside, his cortex can go entirely haywire and cause him to take insane risks or do seemingly pointless things without any regard for his own safety. This and his fragile chassis are a very bad combination.
-Neurotic: Another consequence of the accident was the overclocking of Eights's precision function modulator. This gives an affect similar to OCD on Eights, causing him to obsess over tiny details and require perfection. This can make him very slow and ineffective at multitasking.
APPEARANCE:
Eights is very tall for a droid but also rather light, made of mostly aluminum and titanium. He has a single bright green eye that can see almost every wavelength of light, revealing to him some things that would go unspotted by others. Each hand has eight four-jointed fingers for articulation. He has two stubby antennae protruding from the back of his skull for wavelength interception. His chassis is a dull grey other than black joints and patches of silver on his head and shoulders.
BIOGRAPHY:
Eights was constructed in a vast unaffiliated droid construction yard, peddling all sorts of droids to the highest bidder. As one of the latest diplomacy droid models, Eights was involved in bidding from many high-powered businesspeople trying to politik their way into the pockets of the ruling authority of their planets/systems/galaxies/whatever. When the bidding finally came to a close, a rich CEO of a corporation on Coruscant had activation rights. Eights's energy shackles were undone, and he was free to travel after his new master. They prepared to take a ship back to Coruscant to woo the higher-ups into subsidizing Eights's master's company.
That's when the pirates attacked.
A squadron appeared from nowhere and slaughtered every living thing in the construction yard, killing and looting the owners and employees of the yard and gunning down Eights's master where he stood. Eights stood petrified the entire time as the pirates tried in vain to steal some inactive droids from their energy shackles or even destroy them for scrap. It was a while before they noticed the thin form of Eights. The pirates handcuffed him and marched him into the ship his master brought to the yard, which they stole and flew off in. Eights, not knowing better, tried to fast talk his way to an agreement. This earned him a punch to the throat that slammed him back against the floor. His chassis not meant to take any hits, the impact tore both of his wrists and damaged his internal computing system. The blow to the neck ripped open the protective covering, exposing bare circuits. Even damaged as he was, the pirates were able to sell him on the black market, linking him to a second master.
On the second master's journey home, they met an ambassador of the Techno Union. The second master spun tales of Eights's ability as a diplomacy droid as well as his hidden talents of espionage. The ambassador, clearly believing that Eights's master was bullpoodooting, engaged Eights in a rap battle of politics and tested him in his communications intercepting abilities. After determining that the master was telling the truth, the ambassador agreed to purchase Eights for internal purposes in the Techno Union.
Since then, Eights has worked commissions for various buyers, doing diplomatic dance-off and negotiations. Eights aspires to reach high in the diplomatic reaches of the Techno Union, and eventually lead the faction. Barring that, he at leasts hopes to make his mark.
