Blood on the Leaves
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Create a Personal Droid that can act as a double for Jorryn if the need ever arises.
- Image Credit: Artstation, Ali Abed.
- Role: Naerys acts as a personal servant to [member="Jorryn Fordyce"] for any tasks that come up in most cases, though her true purpose is to act as a convincing double for the Echani if ever needed.
- Links: Human Replica Droid
- Age: 1
- Model: Intruder-Class Replicant Droid
- Appearance: As serves her purpose, Naerys looks exactly like her owner Jorryn Fordyce. A lithe and athletic build on an Echani of average height, artificially Sith coloured eyes that glow through the silver hair of the warrior people. However this is only when Naerys is intending on deceiving others into believing that she is Jorryn. When in her normal serving form Naerys' pale hair turns black as night, her skin tanning slightly as her eyes turn into a lovely purple glare. Her physique stays the same, but the changes are typically enough to throw off any not looking for the similarities between the two.
- Name: Naerys, N43-R7S
- Loyalties: [member="Jorryn Fordyce"]
- Notable Possessions: None
- Personality: When not imitating her master's personality to perfection, Naerys is a lot more soft spoken and takes a more support role to Jorryn. She acts as a sort of personal assistant, though unlike most droids the personality matrix of the intruder class allows for her to act more independent from her master's commands.
- Combat Function: Naerys acts as a supporting unit in most combat scenarios, deadly competent with a blaster though it is unlikely that she is ever equipped with one. Her speciality in combat lies with her proficiency at mimicking her owner's combat skills. Being able to competently replicate her unique way of fighting through the Echani martial art, as well as the style with which Jorryn wields a lightsaber with.
- [+] Mimicry: While far from perfect, the Intruder-class excels in replicating the behavior and mannerisms of their targets. Through careful analysis and changes to their personality matrixes, this is definitely possible albeit quite time consuming.
- [+] Adaptable: A staple trait of every Aegis Systems droid. They learn and get better at mimicking their targets, very rapidly.
- [+] Espionage Programming: Fielding both assassination and espionage protocols, these bots are the perfect spies or assassins. Replicating their targets, transmitting encrypted A/V information, and are even programmed to assassinate their targets if need be.
- [+] Secure Cyber: The Aegis SH13LD anti-malware software helps prevent malicious or external code from overwriting the droid's core functions. As for the VPN, that allows the droid to maintain very secure communications with its primary uplink.
- [-] Force Presence: They're droids. Those very attuned to the Force will be able to distinguish them from living, breathing beings.
- [-] Non-Humanoid Biology: For Aegis Systems, it is far more difficult for them to replicate non-humanoid biology. For customers ordering non-humanoid models, some biological quirks may show.
- [-] EMP: They're droids, this is an inherent weakness. An ionization buffer may protect from ionic weaponry, but an EMP can short circuit their internal systems.
- [-] Expensive: These droids are very, very expensive to produce and program to replicate their targets. Even maintenance is infuriatingly costly and time consuming. Thusly, you will never see many of them.
- [-] DOS: It's possible for opposing forces to jam communications in a Denial of Service attack to prevent communications.
- [-] Definitions: While there's an option to actually download the signature-based detection engine, the SH13LD loses an immense part of its detection and removal functions. Without a HoloNet uplink to utilize the heuristic-based engine and updated signatures, the host system becomes susceptible to more zero day threats.
Naerys was purchased from Aegis Systems by the Sith Acolyte, Jorryn Fordyce. As a replicant droid, the machine's purpose was to copy and eventually replace targets with themselves. However Jorryn saw this ability of mimicry as a tool to protect herself if the need ever arose when her life was threatened or she needed another one of herself for any reasons.
So Naerys was commissioned as a double of her new owner, programmed to act as a simple assistant for most of her lifetime or to die with the visage of her owner in case the Echani ever needed to disappear. Her abilities of mimicry were immediately put to use in copying the fighting and style of her new master, a necessity of being able to replicate Jorryn both on and outside of the battlefield. Learning how to perfectly copy the original would make disguising as her that much easier and more convincing. Currently Naerys dutifully serves her owner in any private affairs, though her true purpose is always lingering in the background.
