STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+Mechanical Mind: Jekk is a very good mechanic and droid builder, hence his nickname.
+Tactical thinker: While most dive headfirst into the thick of the fight, Jekk uses strategy to gain the upper hand with as little friendly casualties as possible.
-Weak: While Jekk is strong in mind, he lacks the appropriate body strength to engage in direct combat with his enemies.
-Overconfident: Although most of his plans are well thought out, Jekk will believe fully in even the weakest plan of attack so long as he had a say in making it.

APPEARANCE:
Jekk stands at about 5’5” and has a rather thin build. His hair is dark brown and greying at the base, and he keeps it cut close on the sides and long on the top, usually slicking it back. He sports a (fabulous!) mustache and has a 5-o’clock shadow along his jawline. His lack of sunlight is apparent, as he is very pale and has to wear dark glasses every time he goes outside. He can usually be seen in his dark coat and clothing (as shown in the picture) but has been known to wear old clone armor on his torso in order to protect himself.

BIOGRAPHY:
Jekk was born on Coruscant to a rich merchant family. Growing up, he had everything he could have asked for: money, good schooling, and all the droid parts he could tinker with. It was only fitting for such a large mind as his, and at the age of 19 he had finished his 9-year project of re-building an old CIS Tactical Droid. Jekk had gifted this droid AI, and soon became one of Jekk’s closest friends and protector (his small stature prevented him from protecting himself very well) as well as declaring its own name to be “Crypt”. Shortly after his 24th birthday, Jekk left home with Crypt to manage a trading outpost his parents owned.
This journey was never finished, as Jekk’s ship lost engine power over a small outer-rim planet, resulting in a crash. Both Jekk and Crypt emerged alive and (mostly) unharmed, but all other crew members were lost. After a few weeks of camping on the planet, Jekk and Crypt stumbled upon an old droid factory that Crypt said was from the time of the Clone Wars. As they explored it, the pair realised that although it was overgrown with vines and leaves, the factory was in working condition to build more droids. Jekk (being a mechanical man) decreed that they would re-start the factory by using the credits still on their crashed ship to buy materials for the droids. And so, while Crypt worked on clearing the factory of overgrowth and Clone Skeletons, (Jekk took a chestplate off one of them for protection purposes) Jekk began working on designs for droids that would be built once the factory was running once again. Jekk was eventually able to begin producing Mk3 Battle Droids and Mk2 Commando Droids that assisted Crypt with clearing the more dense vegetation and pockets of wildlife that they encountered, soon uncovering a drydock with an old Providence-class Dreadnought. Jekk soon got to work on that ship, outfitting it with the heaviest blaster cannon payload possible while his factory got to work on Mk3 Droidekas and V3 Droid Starfighters.
After 16 years of manufacturing in secret, Jekk decided it was time to step back into the galaxy not as a merchant, but as a mercenary general with a powerful army behind him. He adopted the name Dr. Droideka to pay homage to his Mk3 Droidekas (although his most prized design was Crypt’s design) and set out, searching for something to challenge his army so that he could continue to keep the bleeding edge of technology.

Equipment:
Refurbished Clone Armor Chestplate. Jekk took this chestplate off of a long-dead clone trooper that he had found in his droid factory. He refurbished it to better withstand blaster bolts and now wears it when he is directly in the line of fire.
Command Datapad. Jekk’s command over his droid army is exerted through two devices: the first being the command module on his ship and the second being a small datapad that he has installed into the left forearm of his overcoat. It is through this datapad that he (through a bio scan) can control what tactics his army uses and where their major platoons move to engage the enemy.

SHIP:
Jekk and his droids reside on a Providence-class Dreadnought that has been heavily modified by replacing all dual-laser cannons with quad laser cannons which bumped the quad laser count up to 50 which greatly increased its firepower. Alongside this firepower increase, the shields have been reinforced and the bridge has been given its own personal shield to better defend against attack. Life support has also been cut from a majority of the ship (to better save power since droids do not need life support), leaving only the hangar, a couple hallways, the brig, and the crew quarters habitable without a spacesuit.
