Wiki Entry: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/HK-47

Answer the following questions in no less than 300 words but no greater than 1000 words put together...

Character's background (their past and present): HK-47 was constructed by Revan, when Revan was a Sith Lord, as an assassination, combat, and translator droid. After a memory loss on a mission, he was sold off to a droid dealer where he was eventually reunited with his Master, now returned to the light after having his memory erased. From there, he helped Revan destroy the Star Forge and save the Republic. From there, HK fell in with Meetra Surik, and once again ultimately saved the Republic, before setting off for unknown space to find his departed Master, Revan.

Character's personality: HK is unusually sarcastic for a droid, and definitely homicidal. He also has a profound disdain for organics as compared to mechanical perfection. He is also intensely loyal to Revan, or to other chosen masters. After being rebuilt by Surik, HK lost many of his assassination protocols and many of his memories - becoming more violent. But after Surik installed a Pacifist Package (briefly) - HK does come to a better understand of the virtues of peaceful resolution. This is a very recent development, so his thoughts on the matter are still germinating, as it were. Violence is still his first resort (he's not bad, he's just programmed that way), but he's not indiscriminate. In fact, when confronted with HK-50 copies of himself, droids who aim for volume and scale, he is frankly disgusted. HK is a precision machine, and as such 'wanton slaughter' is not something he enjoys. In point of fact, he deplores it. He is, in his way, a craftsdroid. A precision instrument who takes pride in his work. That this also allows him to make allies and not fight daily battles is probably a noted bonus.

Character's skills/abilities/powers: Droid strength, armor, and reflexes, plus shielding, and internal/external weaponry. So stronger and tougher than a human.

Any special equipment your character is bringing along? This includes weaponry, magic items, etc.: HK comes heavily armed, with armor, internal shielding, internal flamethrower and droid disruptor, plus blaster rifle, a backup weapon, and an assortment of grenades. (I will easily let the grenades go)

This is a lot, but he has vulnerabilities in a Trek universe so that ought to compensate. For instance, he has no experience of nanotech in this universe, having at best experienced nanites only from his universe. Beyond this, he's never encountered transporter technology nor the extended blast of Trek-universe phasers, or multiphasic shielding. These balances - as well as him encountering a Master who will further restrain him from enacting violence, will limit his capabilities.

Are you bringing your character to ten_fwd from another game? If you are, which game?: No

If you answered yes above, briefly summarize how they were changed by and what challenges they faced in the climate of their previous game(s): N/A

Why do you want to play this character in Ten Forward, and what do you plan to do with them? His combination of insult, universe, and manner of speech will make for an interesting mix with other characters. Plus, he will eventually latch onto a 'Master' and serve them loyally.
