---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
BUILT FOR BATTLE:
-AI Battle programming: Like all BX-Series droid commando's, Poker has an unusually high strategic and tactical ability when compared to other droids not designed for command positions. Creative, efficient, and fast, the artificial intelligence is quite like those of experienced sentient beings.
-Excellent Marksmanship and calculation.
-Weaponry knowledge: Programmed to be capable of using a vast array of weapons very efficiently, from electro-staffs and vitro-blades to rocket launchers, Poker was given a considerable advantage in battle.
-Agility: In spite of it's weight compared to the droid the Commando's were based on, they have unusually high agility and speed, known for preforming regular jumps and spins to avoid fire and navigate terrain.
-Strength: Typically a bit stronger then a trained human soldier, but have been overpowered by technique.
-Capable of magnetizing its feet.
-Able to change and mimic voices
-Armor: Can actually take several hits to the torso without going down.
-Survival: Can operate so long as the head isn't destroyed.
-Teamwork: Designed to operate efficiently in a team.
-Droid: Can survive in locations most species can't unaided.
-The power of curiosity: A bit of damage to Pokers head has caused a very quick personality growth even after memory wipes with a very clear power in curiosity. This has resulted in an unusual amount of learning on the part of Poker and unexpected reactions from the droid that are not typical for his class.
WEAKNESSES:
-Requires charging or he'll shut down
-The head can be relatively easy to destroy, whether with a blast or by forcefully removing it from the body preventing it from continuing.
-Vulnerable to higher levels of electricity. Head hits with any can disable it.
-Unexpected weapons: Weapons that weren't programmed in are likely to be misused unless they are close enough to another he can just use it's programming.
-Un-stoppable curiosity: Pokers desire to poke often overcomes his battle programming unless he has a very clear go and can get distracted very easily, though he returns to the task at hand quickly it can be quite dangerous.
-Personality: Poker's personality can be very dangerous for his safety, and has caused issues with his owners.
-Alone: When alone Poker is far less dangerous, partially because his programming took into account so much teamwork, but especially as the damage he suffered and his personality caused issues with him making decisions completely on his own unless there's someone else with him, even if they don't give the orders. This can cause him a great deal of confusion and make him seek out anyone just so he isn't alone. This also means that even if he rescued someone, he will revert to obedience to that person rather than his own in spite of having full autonomy.
-Magnetic: Just as he can use his feet to hold in place, a strong enough magnet could probably hold him in place.
APPEARANCE:
Poker appears like a typical BX Droid Commando, a grey bipedal body similar to the B1 Battle droid but with a shortened head designed to fit in helmets, with specific pieces have brown paint, white color sensors and more smooth and efficient movement.
Poker in particular does have a tendency for wearing clothing, or at least, particular items of clothing. Often known for always managing to still look like a droid unless specifically required not to, such as wearing exclusively a helmet and only a helmet, or an entire set of robes but leaving the head completely open. Or sometimes even just having draped a towel over his shoulder or arm. These don't seem to serve a purpose, except perhaps, his own amusement.
PERSONALITY:
Curious, almost childlike in many regards, but aware of the considerable functionality of his programming and systems. A droid that seems to have a lot more emotion then most. Typically good at being obedient. Always wanting to have someone with him in some way.
BIOGRAPHY:
The Bx Series droid Commando, nicknamed "Poker", doesn't have the most interesting story. It was a droid found by scavengers with a damaged head. It seemed to possess most of it's abilities after some fixing and reactivation, but had an alarming rate of gaining a personality and also seemed to have repeating glitches and occasional memory lapses at random moments. The main glitch being that any time Poker discovers something new, he pokes it. If he's being ignored, he pokes them. If something looks particularly interesting or shiny, he pokes it. If ordered not to or something dangerous happens, Poker will look almost like a saddened child who got told he couldn't have a toy. Accepting it, but sadly so.
Poker was bought later by a Merchant named Beanna Vicci and equipped with a Vibro-Sword and E-5 Blaster rifle in order to help protect the ship with the rest of the crew. He did his job as ordered but his constant poking of things undoubtedly got on their nerves, even if it occasionally amused some of them. He was freed by C-02 whom he joined immediately after. However in time he lost contact with the droid and his allies. Lost and alone again, the droid was eventually recruited by The Sith Empire who he now serves.
