STRENGTHS:Mechanics - Epik has maintained his own body for several years and has become quite skilled in the field. He has also bartered his way across the star systems by offering his services as a mechanic to several different ships.
Acrobatics - Despite his small size and unassuming form, Epik is able to traverse his environment much like a simian would, using his arms to swing from one area to the next. He only uses this ability when absolutely necessary however as he has found that most lifeforms find a droid moving in this way disturbing.
Loyal - Epik is unshakably loyal to his master and anyone he considers a friend. He will go to great lengths to help his friends.
WEAKNESSES:Subservient - Despite his reluctance, Epik finds it difficult to say no to anyone who gives him an order, even if he knows it will end badly for him. He will not follow any orders that will result in harming a living being however.
Outbursts - Epik, despite his normally meek personality, is prone to outbursts. He attributes this to a glitch in his programming.
Broken - Epik has seen better days. He has done a fairly good job of maintaining his body but it's clear to anyone that takes a close look at him that he needs fixed. Parts of his panelling are missing, exposing the circuitry underneath. His joints are prone to sticking occasionally but Epik has gotten pretty good at quickly fixing this. His memory files have also degraded somewhat and he has trouble remembering certain things about his own past.
APPEARANCE:Epik is short, with long arms and no discernable face on his head. He has blue panelling covering his body...well, most of it. He is clearly damaged and dirty. He also has a set of smaller arms that are usually folded into his body. These arms are mostly used for delicate work.
GEAR: Epik carries all manner of gadgets with him in a backpack. This is mostly things he needs to repair himself but also includes things he just finds interesting. He also has numerous built in tools such as a buzz saw, fusion welder, scomp link, flashlight, holographic projector etc. He has also been known to carry a stun pistol. While he doesn't like to use weapons, he's not above defending himself should the need ever arise.
BIOGRAPHY:Epik is one of a small number of "Wired Zero General Assistant Droids" created by Zero Point Enterprises. The Wired Zeros (given the nickname "weirdos") were an experimental build and only a handful were created for select clientele before Zero Point, for whatever reason, decided not to go ahead with mass production. The weirdos were built to serve all manner of purposes, from starship maintenance to bartending and everything in between. While they could only master a certain number of skills, the droids were able to swap out one skill for another in order to best suit their owners needs. Epik himself loyally served his owner for years until the day everything went wrong.
Epik isn't clear on the details of what happened to him as his memory files have degraded over the years but he remembers a long fall and hitting the ground. He was offline for a time until a kind stranger found and reactivated him. Epik was grateful for this and for the assistance the stranger gave the droid with rebuilding his broken body but he couldn't stay. He belonged to someone else and it was his duty to return to his master. So Epik set out on a long and perilous journey to find his owner with a promise to the stranger that he would one day repay their kindness. The droids quest has been hindered somewhat by an inability to remember his owners name but he knows that if he travels to all the places his owner has been known to visit, he's bound to find them...right?
Over the course of his adventures, Epik has developed numerous quirks that were not included in his initial programming and he now seems almost semi self aware at times. But even self aware, the little droid remains loyal to his owner.
His body may not be what it once was, parts falling off here and there. His mind may not be what it once was, prone to forgetfulness and random angry outburst. But Epik remains eternally loyal and will go to the ends of the universe to be reunited with his owner.
