- Age: 3 years old
- Model: MV/3N-V1
- Appearance: Standing 5 feet and 9 inches tall , “Envy” is a female-appearing droid. The engineers say the balanced weight distribution helps her acrobatic combat style. Arturo isn’t sure about that, but she’s not bad to look at. Obviously robotic in appearance, “Envy” has many metallic plates covering the outside of her body, her arms and face mostly showing these. Dura-Armor and armorweave cover her torso and legs, and she is usually covered by some amount of clothing. When accompanying Arturo to visit criminals, low lives, and go into seedy areas she wears an additional layer of armorweave as a hood and short cape over one arm. Main colors are a dull navy blue and white.
- Name: MV/3N-V1, Nicknamed “Envy”
- Loyalties: Arturo, Moonveil Communications Inc., Ivory Stroud, The Family
- Notable Equipment: The M.I. Model 6M Hybrid Pistol, FDS-24R MagRifle, AntiGrav Assist, Halo Jump Boots, Shield Generators: (x)(x)(x)
- Skills: With the programming she has, she can be a basic medic, using the Type-2 Bacta Spray she is equipped with.
- Languages: Basic, Huttese, Rodian, Binary Droidspeak, Kosa Nostra Code-Sign
- Personality: “Envy” is not really programmed with a personality, but her nature as a bodyguard, protector, combatant and intimidator make verbal responses seem blunt and rude. She’s not much of a conversationalist, but when people try to make her talk she seems displeased to be speaking, ending topics somewhat quickly.
- Weapon of Choice: The M.I. Model 6M Hybrid Pistol, FDS-24R MagRifle, M50 Kamikiri Blades
- Combat Function: “Envy” functions as a bodyguard and follows all orders given to her. She has two ranged weapons, but despite the engineers vouching that there is no coding explanation, she tends to favor getting up and personal, using her hard exoskeleton to fight and her Kamikiri blades to tear into foes. Perhaps her computing sees those as actions that result in a much higher likelihood of success to the present task than using her guns. She will use her guns, but doesn’t seem to if she doesn’t have to. She is acrobatic and fast, using her AntiGrav Assist module and the Halo Jump Boots to move quicker than most organic fighters.
- Highly resistant to all common forms of damage.
- Frustratingly difficult to be severed in half via Lightsaber because of the Defensa Textile and the Exo Spine. (Though her resistance to it is still low, her other limbs can be severed, but her spinal structure is what is difficult to cut and the Defensa Textile is why it is not 'None' or 'Very Low') Her Kamikiri blades are coated in Phrik, and thus can help parry and deflect Lightsaber blows.
- With the inclusion of the MIL-GRADE Electro-Mag Defense Unit, “Envy” is incredibly resistant to EMP/Ion-based attacks.
- Highly agile & capable of advanced mobility.
- Not made to interact with people kindly. She is made to deal out violence and intimidation. She can speak and form plans and opinions based on observable facts, but she isn’t a conversationalist and doesn't understand humor.
- Envy has a propensity for and favors melee combat for some reason. Examining her code the engineers say there is no bias, but she will fly into melee combat with enemies when she gets the chance, using any ranged weapons she acquires sparingly. With this, it is possible to distance Envy from Arturo.
- While conventional means of damage does little to Envy, sabers chop her up. Her spine keeps her mostly intact, but any other part of her is fair game to dismember. Her Kamikiri blades can parry and deflect Lightsabers, but sustained contact will see them sheared off like any other piece of her.
- Each type of shield she can deploy has a purpose, but each type also has specific strengths and weaknesses in what it can or can't defend against well.
Arturo is known to let his mouth get ahead of his brain at times. When dealing with the dangerous people that he works with, it can spell danger for him. He’s usually quite smart about recovering, but sometimes those he’s with aren’t, and blasters start firing or threats are made. As a valuable asset to Moonveil Communications Inc. and to The Family, measures were taken to create a unique and highly capable bodyguard for him. As expensive as MV/3N-V1 was to research and make, it would have been more expensive over the years to replace Goons or keep a highly trained enforcer at his side at all times.
When he first met her, it was shortly after she was activated and instantly moved to his side. Arturo was going to use her appearance as an intimidation tactic, but things got heated before she arrived. She entered the scene by driving a gunman’s head through a wall with her knee. Since then and impressing Arturo greatly, she’s been at his side, hardly ever leaving the same room he occupies.
