STRENGTHS & THEMES:
- Enhanced Survivability: The RX-series was made as a security droid, bodyguard unit, and staff for Officers in the field, intended to increase the efficiency of a Platoon Leader and increase the expected lifespan of officers in the field. In addition as a droid; does not require sleep, food, water or oxygen to survive, they cannot become fatigued from prolonged activity. Due to the artificial nature of their mind, they possess the ability to download and manipulate protocols for improved function. Combine this with a body that is significantly more durable than that of a majority of organics.
In emergencies, the RX-series activates a six meter diameter bubble capable of withstanding a barrage of small arms fire and grenades for about six seconds. In addition, to their primary personal shield.
- Honor-bound: KX-Security Series are known to take their tasks or assignments quite seriously. By design, if their word is given one of two guarantees can be drawn either; that task will be completed or they will be deactivated in pursuit of it. Much to Jaks benefit this has garnered them a positive reputation among those that have taken an interest in the droid.
- "I know the words, do you?": Jak was never programmed by another to follow Resol'nare (or Six Actions) until they wrote it into their own behavior core. A small number of Mandos, if opened-minded, will accept the dar'manda as a fellow Mandalorian given enough time. Jaks trust can more easily than not be gained by those that truly follow the teachings.
- "Start it, I'll finish it.": Combat for better or for worst has been Jak's life since the amount the gladiatorial ring doors opened for their first match. The fact that Jak will access their surroundings and find any opportunity to seize victory is what initially brought Jak into the service of his last Master. Compounded tutelage from his Master in the art of fighting and Jak has eighty years of experience in the field. This ranges from hand-to-hand, firearms, demolitions and pyrotechnics.
WEAKNESSES & THEMES:
- Not matter how hard I try, I'm still an inorganic: Droids can be expensive and that's even with routine maintenance & if used for their intended useage. Thus although droids hold many advantages but just like any scale worth it's weight in salt, will have disadvantages. Droids are prone to droid bolts limiting their functions and rights. Weapons or areas that may deal Ion damage are especially harmful for droids and can permanently disrupt their core systems and circuits. Not to mention places with strong magnetism and large bodies of pressurized liquid could not only damage your comms but your family friendly droids too. Lastly, the shield bubble system only lasts for a few seconds, six at most. Afterwards it must spend at least a minute cycling back up before it can be activated once more. Some squads have noted it takes as much as ninety seconds to fully charge.
- "Right or wrong, she was my Master and we are Mandalorians.": Given the deep connection Jak drew with what they consider to be their true Master and only companion, Jak considers her words to be nothing short of guidelines to dedicate one's life towards. Resulting in the Droid taking up his Masters place within the Mandalorians, considering themselves to be a foundling and taking up their mission of Honor with pride. As a result, one of the his masters final orders sparked a bit of fuzzy logic within the unit causing them to make it their mission to their own continued existence above those of organics. The only exception towards this is when it conflicts with Resol'nare (or Six Actions).
- "Firearms? Of all the things to collect...": Be it a quirk from their gladiator years or just a hobby born from necessity, K-J4K has taken up to obtaining either through trade or via bargain various weapons. To an outsider looking in, the large stash of weapon seems to hold up the fabled rumor from Mandos of old, that weapons are a part of their religion. Although Jak would never confirm nor deny any such claims, it can be noted that the droid spends a considerable amount of time dedicated to just a hobby. In conclusion, much of K-J4Ks funds are not left to accumulate unless a spectacular piece or two sparks their attention. Lastly, when one has an ever growing collect it has been known to eat up quite a bit of their time to maintain such a hoard properly.
- Do Droids count electric sheep?: Regardless of thousands of years of; advancement, discovery, loyalty and acceptance by culture many within the galaxy still argue that droid does not or truly can possess legitimate sentience. Though the a immersion of pocket instances of AI cropping within droids of various sizes and function, it is still a fact that they are more often than not memory wiped or worst scrapped to comply with the normalcy of servitude. Jak is another one such instance were after years of service and eventual fair treatment immersed their own sentience, even if some see it as mere servitude to a master long since gone.
- "I will see you again in... Manda.": Ultimately Jaks goals are as wide and linear as any road or highway but in the end, they have a fixed location that no ones know but the traveler. K-J4K simply wishes to earn that which was explained to them as a Soul worthy of joining both his Master and their ancestors within the Manda. Consequently it is Jak's obediency to survive at all costs and follow Resol'nare that conflicts and prohibit this desire from transpiring. This can also be seen as to why Jak seeks to hunt formidable beasts as challenges of glory & honor to be gained not only for themselves but their late Master, as they consider the victories to be ultimately hers due to her granting them this higher purpose.
K-J4K was built like any other KX-Series Security Droid with exaggerated human proportions but with the mobility of a human athlete. Differing from the other models only by larger limbs and the Mandalorian mask welded onto their head module. Standing roughly seven feet tall, Jak is primarily seen armored only removing their armament for repairs or maintenance but never in the company of another. The ancient ancestral Neo-Crusader assault armor donned has large shoulder pieces in addition to the large red cape & skirt draped around the shoulders & waist respectively. Underneath the armor Jak wears a protections formfitting suit designed to aid in resisting; ion, electromagnetic pulses and excessive water damage. Their weapons are often stored under the cape, with the exception of any rifle sling over the backside. Atop the skirt is a brown syn-leather utility belt housing various pouches with a multitude of tools and field supplies.
