Marya Lambent - human replicant android

Bren

Marya Lambent
This is from our house campaign. Interestingly this character was created about a year before Shadows of the Empire was published and is based more on Data from Star Trek than Guri in Shadows of the Empire.

Player Information (this is the information I gave to the player of Marya):
You are not like other people. Although you are tall and somewhat muscular, you are actually a lot stronger than you look. But this heavy body density does make it hard for you to swim. Your brown eyes are actually contact lenses. Your real eyes are yellow and cat-like. You can see in the dark and at night your eyes glow like a cat’s. You know you are not human, but you don’t know who your people are.

Raised alone by your father, Farrel Lambent, you led a sheltered life. Your father was a researcher employed by a major Megacorporation and you had an extensive scientific and technical education [note the high Knowledge and Tech skills]. You often mention your father (although not by name, just as father, “Father always said…). You never know your mother and do not speak of her, “I never had a mother.” As a result of your upbringing, you are not good with people and you always seem reserved or distant. This is exaggerated by your tendency to speak in complete sentences and never use contractions. You sound, and act, a lot like a Vulcan.

After your father died, minions of the megacorporation that employed him pursued you. You fled to here from another sector with the megacorps bounty hunters in pursuit. On Coyn you met Janessar Rae and Tora Jesek and they brought you to Kidron, the refuge planet, where you thought you would be safe. Gen Stridenko, Tora Jesek’s Jedi teacher, found you a job with Grinel Dober, an old Clone War buddy of Gen Stridenko. You have done a good job working for Grinel Dober. He yells a lot, but never at you, and he treats his workers well. Then the Empire invaded Kidron.

During the invasion, Gen Stridenko died saving a bunch of Orfa City refugees and his body disappeared after his death. Now you are in danger again. If the Empire catches you they will turn you over to the Megacorp and you now suspect the Megacorp may have been responsible for your father’s death.

Capsule (this is the capsule for describing Marya or running her as an NPC): Human in appearance, Marya has attractive, regular features with short black hair and brown eyes. She speaks in a flat tone of voice with little emotion. She is a little more muscular than average. The brown eyes are actually contacts. She has yellow cat-like eyes and can see well in the dark. At night her eyes seem to reflect light like a wild animal.

Marya is a synthetic. She is an prototype artificial human (like Data on STNG, not a droid). Her father/creator was Farrel Lambent. She often mentions her father, but not usually by name. He is (according to Marya) dead. Marya never mentions a mother—I never had a mother.

She fled here from another sector and the corporation who bought out her creator’s company sent its corporate security to recapture her. In addition, Lud Chud has heard that she possess some R&D secret. He has hired the outsector Vulture Bounty Hunter Syndicate to kidnap her.

Adventures [First encountered in The Weeds of Crime, she was fleeing from Coyn to The High City of Refuge on Kidron.]

I misunderstood and thought this was a PC. While powerful, I don't disagree with how you are using her.

And an interesting idea, to boot....

Agreed it does seem like an interesting Idea... but when you have set a precident for the 'health levels being that way' what's to say a pc won't want to be one of these, or make one as his bodyguard...

I had a somewhat similar idea for a HRD character.

Not too fancy on the stats just the regular 18D +7D skill but the character would be unaware that it was a droid (and programed to rationalize anything that might cause it to think it was away) but because it never needed to eat or sleep it had begun to think it might be some wierd sort of Jedi. I'd even considered giving it some sort of inbuilt scanners that gave it Jedi sense like abilities, perhaps similar to the Quixotic Jedi. I could never figure out how to deal with it possibly getting wounded and needing to be repaired not causing some sort of terrible programming glitch.

I guess you could sort of have its computer brain conclude a number of fundamentals upon which it operates whenever referring to the galaxy at large.
For example that clearly all sentient creatures think using programming, but all see the rest of the universe as an existentialist extension of the self so the entire universe is filled with a series of individuals which are both a figment of their own imaginations and also part of a greater, collective programming.

So upon meeting this droid for the first time believing it is a human you may introduce yourself, "Hi, my name is Jax and I'm a starship captain."
Naturally the droid would respond, "Yes of course you are."

Most statements in fact it'd probably respond to with, "Yes I was quite expecting that."
