- Weapon of Choice:
- Durasteel Fists
- Pistol if necessary
- Combat Function:
- Knowledgeable Navigator
- I Can See For Miles: Navi's built in systems from being a Neurocogitator allows him to see deep into the galaxy. Using constellations in the sky, he is able to locate a plethora of different planets and systems just by viewing them. Advanced processors give him an expanded knowledge of the observable universe, giving him an atlas to everything that was, is, and will be.
- ‘Cause I Remember Everything: Basically a bigger, augmented brain, Navi has increased storage banks that allow him to hold massive amounts of information. Entries from decades ago can be held with ease, allowing Navi to keep operating and recording for hundreds of years.
- A Little Bit Off Today: Since Navi is no longer under the watchful eye of Greystone Mercantile, his programming has begun to act somewhat strange. He is plagued with visons of his past life, trying to piece it all together. Yet he is not familiar with who he once was or where he came from. So, he is left with his own confusing thoughts.
- I Am Machine, I Never Sleep: Having a robotic body as its few ups and lots of downs. Scavenged together by various parts he could acquire, Navi operates the old, clunky machine that his glass jar rests on. They mechanics can be slow and finicky, especially for someone without prior operating experience.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The previous life of Navi has been long since forgotten over years of torture and reprogramming by Greystone Mercantile. For the bits and pieces of his memory that have been slowly appearing to him, Navi knows that he used to be a spacer that lived in the Outer Rim, sometime around mid 840s. He was affiliated with the ORC, working with them as a guide to the treacherous systems. Many of his notes from his travels would be used to help during the war. His cause of death is still unknown.
It wouldn’t be long though before his purpose had been served. He was getting old, and it was time to bring in new, fresh brains that would become even better than he was. Sold in an auction to the highest bidder, the brain simply stayed in drone state, ready to complete the same task for his new master.
This, however, was not the case. The highest bidder happened to be a woman by the name of Manami Farlander, a kind spacer from the Tingel Arm. She was a starship engineer, owning and operating her own shop out on the edge of the galaxy. Travellers that were heading out to the Cosm's Well could stop at Manami's corvette Luna's Eclipse to get repairs and purchase and last-minute supplies. Bringing the jarred brain back to her ship, she hooked it up to a large computer, trying to bring it back to life. After many long nights trying to help the brain break free from its programming, it finally showed a flicker of personality. Over the next few weeks, the brain began to speak, developing its own life, remembering some visions of his past. Along with all of this, the brain gave itself a name: Navi.
Manami went on to help Navi become a person again, firstly by building him a suit to walk around on. Then alongside of her husband and two children, Navi went on to be raised as a member of the family. He worked alongside them, learning the ins and outs of the business. Spacers from all reaches of the galaxy would stop at the corvette. This gave Navi a chance to learn how to be a normal person again. While here, he began to grow his own sense of belonging and purpose. Deep in his memory was a sense of adventure. No, not a sense. A craving. An internal desire. It would something that he could not deny. Navi figured it was a part of his past life somehow finding its way to resurface.
All of this longing for exploration would lead him to learn about Baobab Astrography. They were a small-scale company that focused on exploring uncharted astronomical locations. Right up Navi's alley. Saying his temporary goodbye to Manami and her family, Navi went on to become a navigational assistant for a few small-time expeditions for the company. It was more than just dipping his Durasteel toes in the water. He was straight jumping into the ocean. The vast ocean of space that was. Black holes, newborn stars, systems and species that no one had ever seen before. Navi loved every second of it. He felt as if he was making a difference in the galaxy by charting all of these.
On one of his most recent expeditions, Navi was among the crew that helped discover Mezokara. This beautiful planet was unlike anything the brain had yet seen. For this very reason, he elected to return to the planet once the journey had concluded. There was a strange calling that he had felt to the watery moon. Something that he could not explain. This is the exact reason he needed to do more studies. After first returning to Luna's Eclipse to visit Manami and her family, Navi went and settled down at a small research station on Mezokara. It had been a few months since the expedition, so others had moved to the moon as well. Making friends with his new neighbors, Navi slowly started to explore the moon and all of its wonders. Now he spends most of his days charting down his discoveries and reviewing past flight logs of Baobab adventures, learning more about the galaxies each day.
