Sable
| {Age} |2386
| {Species} |Droid
| {Gender} |N/A but uses male pronouns
| {Force Sensitive/Alignment} |No/ Chaotic Neutral
| Role on Ship |Security
| {Appearance} |Much to his disgust Sable currently resides within the body of BX series Commando Droid. The somewhat imposing 6”2’ frame while taller than his old HK body is nowhere near as efficient or effective.
| {Equipment and Personal Belongings} |- E-5 Blaster Rifle
- Cortosis Weave Vibrosword
- Commando Droid personal shield
- E-5s Sniper Rifle
- ZX miniature flame projector built into left arm
- Magnetic feet
- Features in head: Multispectral vision, face scanner and his eyes can act as a holoprojector
- Droid Poppers
- Replacement body parts
- Unbreathing: Due to the rather obvious fact that Sable doesn’t need oxygen to survive, he is often the first to volunteer to enter hazardous environments and to do anything involving space walking.
- Electromagnetic hardening: Experience taught Sable’s owners that protection against EMP devices is almost essential given the work he would do for them and just because he has a new body doesn’t mean that lesson should be forgotten.
- The bounty board: To coincide with his in-built face scanner Sable also possesses a live link to the galactic bounty board allowing him to profit on any random bounties he comes across, or if he feels like it he could point out to his allies that there are other bounties around that they could cash in on.
- Voice changer: An ability that was inherent to the body he was placed in Sable immediately knew he could improve upon it to do more than just Clone troopers. After much tinkering with the aid of his master Sable is able to scan peoples voices and replicate them perfectly almost instantly.
- The ultimate failsafe: The Blasaw family were not idiots, they didn’t accrue their wealth by not investing in asset protection. As such every processor unit that Sable has, be they active or dormant spares is equipped with a failsafe that activates when someone tries to access it without the Blasaw family signature, the ensuing explosion while not large is sufficient enough to remove the intruder from the vicinity.
He can try and make the Force Choke hand at you but I doubt it’d do much.
| {Limitations} | - Amoral programming: Being a droid he knows little of right from wrong Sable would just as soon gun someone down as help them, though he has improved since his last master installed programming that gave him basic morality, he still prioritises logical solutions than those that “feel right”.
- A droid with no master: Five years have passed since the last of the Blasaw family passed and with no heirs to serve, his masters last wish was he be set free from his servitude to her bloodline but being a droid with no master has had its challenges often in the form of prejudice from other bounty hunters.
A polite individual as long as you don’t piss him off, Sable often follows a policy of not speaking unless spoken to a policy which has served him well for the last five years.
When the Blasaw family originally purchased him, Sable had almost no personality whatsoever he was simply a “yes master” killing machine however, the family found this to be boring for their personal guard droid and spent a not so insignificant amount of money on personality matrix upgrades for him. Combining the best parts of a polite servant droid, a knowledgeable protocol droid and his original HK programming to create the droid that wanders the streets today.
Never one to speak out of tone unless joining in on the teasing of others, Sable knows his place in the universe he understands that even after being given freedom his role is to serve, some are not as appreciative of his service as others but this rarely phases him if he has a job to do he can be relied upon to do it.
Though to say that Sable will only respond with pleasantries would be a horrific understatement, Alanna, the last of the Blasaw family bloodline, who Sable spent ten years travelling with made certain adjustments to the matrix on their travels. Gifting Sable with a full range of vocal communication forms in all manner of languages, though sarcasm has quickly become his favourite.
| {Place of Origin} |Built on Telos IV sometime after the Revan disappeared. Though he has no memory of his actions before being purchased by the Blasaw family.
| {Background} |To know Sable’s story is to know the story of one of the most powerful crime families in the Outer Rim. The Blasaw family, they ruled a criminal Empire for over 2000 years; controlling the spice trade, slave trade and every other type of trade conceivable. Their rule was not without challenge however, Hutt cartels and other criminal organisations were always trying to muscle their way onto Blasaw turf. When looking for personal protection one should never tighten their purse strings, this was the policy that Bretre Blasaw followed when looking for a bodyguard. Enter Sable, one of the finest killing machines ever built, people talk, they can be bought out, or tortured. Droids cannot, with the proper upgrades, software and hardware a droid will keep all your dirty little secrets.
Originally just a tool for the Blasaw family Sable performed a number of tasks for them, from personal guard, enforcer and when the family really wanted to make someone suffer, he became their torturer. But Bretre always thought Sable was a little bland, at first he didn’t even have a name and was simply referred to as “HK” or “Droid”. It was Bretre’s youngest daughter Alemelo who gave Sable his name after finding a serial number on his right leg and thinking that the numbers 54813 were letters began calling him Sable, the name took a while to stick but after Bretre installed the upgraded personality matrix into him an actual name seemed more fitting.
However, the good life the Blasaw family had was not to last forever. The unwillingness for officials to be bought and for certain senators to take bribes would see their empire decline as the centuries went on. Their world and his finally came crashing down when a once loyal contact, someone the family had trusted for over 30 years sold their weaknesses and still exposed lose ends to the Hutts. It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t pretty, across the Outer Rim bloody fighting erupted between hired mercenary groups. As the Hutts exploited weaknesses and sold their newly acquired information to law officials the empire that had stood for over a millennium fell apart at the seams and the family went into hiding, changing names and even some faces. Once in hiding Sable was shut down and placed into storage, less anyone question why a family of ‘farmers’ on Saleucami has a HK-50 droid as a farmhand. It wouldn’t be until the war finally made its way to them that Sable would be reactivated, dealing with the droids that found their way to the farm wasn’t a problem at all, if anything Sable saw it as a mercy since they were so dumb. However, the fighting on the farm would also cost Sable his body, a wrist rocket that he didn’t watch out for punched a hole through his torso and rendered him useless and after retrieving his processor the remaining Blasaw family members once again found themselves looking for a new home.
In 18BBY Sable would once again be reactivated but he would never be himself again. Finding himself in a strange body and surrounded by strange people Sable tried to activate his failsafe, which Alanna would shut down. In his own way he was ecstatic that Alanna was still alive, the little girl he fell fighting to protect on Saleucami was probably his favourite of the Blasaw family in his 2000+ years of service. Though he would have to be hidden for the next year until the Clone Wars ended, Alanna and the mercenary crew she ran with would find much use for a droid with over 2000 years of experience and a body count that would put an evil Sith Lord to shame.
It would be fair to say that Alanna holds a special place in Sable’s memory banks, he’s put at least two people in the ground for talking ill of her. The last of her family through no fault of her own she hated what her family used to be, hated how they accrued their wealth which with Sable’s aid she could now retrieve. Half of the money they recovered would be anonymously donated to the Rebellion upon her passing and the rest left alone, rarely used apart from essential needs. Alanna would gift Sable new perspectives on things including a deep hatred of the Empire but most importantly she would free him from servitude to her family. With no more members of the Blasaw family to serve Sable would take up Bounty Hunting and prove extremely good at it, his more delicate touch in his new body allowing him to kill his targets without causing a scene most of the time. In 5BBY Sable would be contacted by someone only identifying as ‘The Mariner’ who had use of his abilities in her crew and while any money he would get was ultimately inconsequential the ability to explore would aid him in his search for a new HK-50 body so he couldn’t say yes to the offer quick enough.
