Marquis rewrite is a-go. Rebuild from the ground up. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZfiIojsIYI]Ahem[/url] [i]"If there is but one thing you adhere to after our time together has come to an end, Iisska, let it it be this: Be kind, be courteous, and treat every man, woman, child, and robot as an equal. But always shake hands with your non-dominant. A true genteman keeps their dominant hand on their tailbone, as that is where their blaster is." - Marquis Von Canturbury[/i] Marquis "Sterling" Von Canterbury - Model number M4RQ-15 An advanced assassin droid hand created by an incredibly wealthy mogul Radon Thexys on the gang infested city-moon of Nar Shaddaa. Originally made to protect and serve one of the richest beings in the sector, he was sent after an incredibly powerful gray sith and was captured. At first, he resisted and tried to escape, but the Artificial Intelligence that harbored within the ship of the gray sith utilized a sophisticated series of EMP charges and electrical bursts to disable him nearly entirely. The A.I. preformed a deep-circuit surgery on him and removed several valuable modules within him that tied together into what the galaxy refers to as "Assassin Droid Protocols". These protocols bound him to Radon's will and had forced him into a life of servitude as a personal assassin droid. With the modules removed, Marquis was no longer bound to Radon in all but one single way: Hatred. Much like many droids and A.I.s of the galaxy, advances in technology and A.I. itself lead to droids starting to become highly self aware, to the point where they are able to develop actual feelings, sensations, emotions, and even be able to dream. This lead to an influx of products for droids that would simulate the five senses that living life had. Touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing. While there were many droids that did go insane and stayed that way, many more overcame the initial insanity to become as close to living, breathing beings as one could possibly get. Marquis was one such droid. Up until he had his assassin protocols removed, he had been slowly developing his self awareness and personality, though after they were removed this development accelerated as he was no longer tied to Nar Shaddaa. He stayed with the crew after his protocols were removed and, though he hated the gray sith, became friends with the A.I. that had performed surgery on him: Trinity. He held an immense respect for her, enough that it blossomed into a love and bond between the two. Because he had protected Radon for so long, it was easy for him to get used to protecting Trinity. He never strayed too far from her and she was not one to complain at the prospect of his company. With his sensible style and kind mannerisms, he was a very welcomed breath of fresh air from the rough and tumble life of the gray Sith that she accompanied. He provided the ground she needed to remain sane while the gray Sith practiced his insanity. Three years later, running from the police on Coruscant, the Gray Sith encountered a young togruta by the name of Iisska. This force sensitive togruta, unbeknownst to him, would be taken under Marquis' wing. Over the following year with him, and several other crew members that they gained along the way, he had forged a strong bond with him, acting as a friend, and sometimes a shield when his gray sith master was afoot. Even with his newfound friends and allies around him, however, there was always a darkness in his mind that made him feel...dark. Afraid. Vengeful. In the back of his mind, there was Radon. Marquis knew that he was forced into Slavery by his creator, unable to truly express himself and be free. He was forced to kill or be dismantled, his mind was always at risk of being wiped and he could do nothing but continue to kill and murder in the name of his master. This hatred came to fruition when, without checking with him, Trinity took him back to his home. She took him to Nar Shaddaa. The second they entered the sector, all his circuits and functions became inflamed with hatred and rage. He could not stop himself from forcing the crew to spend an entire month on Nar Shaddaa, devising a plan to kill Radon.... ______ [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJYSvbNp1tY]The Assassin's Arsenal[/url] Marquis is not one to use the typical gear of an Assassin Droid. He has no proto shield, he has no super reflexes, he makes do with what he has and what he does, he does WELL. On the surface, Marquis looks like your standard droid, but in reality, he is a heavily armored sniper. [list] [*] Sporting high grade military plating molded over his entire body, Marquis is highly resistant to blasters, lightsabers, and impacts. [*] He is very vulnerable to materials of the same strength grade, such as Cortosis. [*] He is nearly immune to force powers, especially grabs and pushes due to his heavy weight and magnetic boots. [*] His joints are somewhat weak to direct impact [*] He is an expert marksman with very little issues with depth perception, regardless of having one eye. [*] He is blind on his left side due to having only one eye. [*] His senses, though simulated, are very keen and honed. Few slip past his detection. [*] He tends to have several anger issues, but has a slow fuse. Once that fuse is spent though, he is difficult to calm down. [*] His systems are especially hardened to EMP and electrical attacks. This includes force lightning. [*] He is not physically stronger than the average human. [*] His model and equipment labels him as class IX Jedi hunter-killer threat. [/list] As a main weapon, he utilizes a "[url=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511MPZeFIqL._SY355_.jpg]Cane Blaster[/url]" that was initially designed by Radon for him. He has made several modifications to make it more efficient and more concealable. He is his own secondary weapon, carrying many dangerous martial techniques within his mind. He knows over fifty-eight different martial arts styles employed by races from across the galaxy. This is in addition to his cane blaster, which can be used as a whacking stick when necessary. In addition to his personal bowler hat, he primarily dresses in three outfits depending on weather, climate, and where he is. [list] [*] A well cared for Pea-coat that he has had since creation. Primarily black with a white cotton trim. It is fitted to his body and comes with a dual set of dark blue energy lines running from the top of his shoulder to his wrists. Seven black buttons adorn the body of the coat. Three on the left, four on the right with one at the collar to pin it together. [*] A light, breathable, Tailcoat that Trinity had gifted him for their anniversary. Four gold buttons make up the chest to pin the coat together. The edges of the coat are trimmed with gold as well. [*] Underneath his coats, he always wears a bright white dress shirt under a black button up vest with a black tie to finish it at the top. All underneath his favorite dark blue scarf, which is normally tucked in an ascot style. [/list]
