- Image Credit: Body & Head - edit by me
- Role: Sidekick / Co-piloting & mechanical assistance
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: R0 Astromech Droid
- Age: 1 GSY
- Model: R0 Astromech
- Appearance: Deetoo has the appearance of a typical R0 astromech. Primarily white with black highlights, the droid body is essentially a modernized version of contemporary droid designs of the same line, but with the addition of a tapered dome. Much like previous R-series astromechs, Deetoo has various panels and ports across the main body and leg segments, and uses all-terrain treads mode of travel, utilizing a retractable third leg system.
- Name: R0-D2 "Deetoo"
- Loyalties: Jand Talo (and friends of his Nagai owner)
- Notable Equipment: Rocket Booster, Reflec-Laced Hidden Lightsaber Compartment, Computer Interface Arm, Overwatch Co-Pilot Programming, Sensor Jammer
- Skills: Piloting, co-piloting, starfighter repair and maintenance, slicing, nav computer calculating, and general owner support and assistance
- Languages: Communicates in binary droidspeak, has upgraded knowledge of ancient Sith language, and is fluent with common computing system and droid languages in the galaxy
- Personality: Masculine programming, has no particular personality quirks aside from the odd inflection of sarcasm or dry wit
- Weapon of Choice: Charge arm (electric shock)
- Combat Function: When in combat, Deetoo tends to focus on supporting his owner, typically providing piloting assistance; if in non-starship combat, Deetoo would typically provide help with sensor scanning/jamming, slicing, and utilizing his astromech systems to ensure Jand's safety - though is definitely not a frontline fighting threat
- Specialized co-piloting programming, able to fly starfighter directly or enhance owner's piloting
- Skilled with slicing, sensor scanning or jamming, and general support in a range of situations (repairs, maintenance, etc)
- Astromech design, built sturdy with reliable components
- Able to interface with common astromech-appropriate sockets galaxy wide
- Communications is limited to binary droidspeak or display panels
- Not a combatant, built primarily for support function
- Made from factory standard materials, most weapons are a threat
- Lacks adaptability of higher degree droids
R0-D2 (Deetoo) was purchased as a new factory model by Jand Talo's parents, to serve their son as a companion and helper, as he began his life as a Jedi. The astromech remains loyal to Jand, and by extension his friends (or as ordered), and began primarily as a general assistant. Over the course of Jand's development as a Jedi, through the numerous on-going battles and wars, Deetoo's programming - and utilities - allowed for mechanical repairs, maintenance, slicing/sensor and navigation support. But, it became apparent that Deetoo would never be as viable a direct combatant, and as a result, and through Jand's engineering capabilities, the astromech began to undergo upgrades:
The first was having overwatch co-piloting programming installed, which allowed Deetoo to enhance and support Jand's average degree of piloting. The next was a reflec-lined hidden compartment, able to conceal Jand's lightsaber (or objects) as needed. And finally, Deetoo was fitted with a universal sensor jammer, for instances where indirect interference might be needed.
As time has passed, the pair have become trusting, and Deetoo remains a steadfast and supportive companion, with Jand being equally protective of his astromech friend.
