J9-85 "AteHive"

Name: J9-85 (AteHive)
Gender: Drone/In flux based on colony stratification and social justifications.
Age: 63years
Species: Droid
Homeworld: Roche Asteroid Field
Affiliation: Droids/Self/Master(If applicable)
Personality
---Traits: Highly inquisitive, indirect information retrieval/communications, buzzing overtone to voice no matter language, incorporation of insectoid qualities into translations, and painstaking detail if asked to relate observations.
---Likes: Computer codes, being of service to the hive. Fire, and religious connotations that pertain to fire, the association and attraction came from a faulty program upgrade when adding software to accommodate the 8D8 smelter droids different motivators and readjusting safety perceptions to accommodate increased tolerance to heat/fire from the hips down. Insectoid races in general to better acceptance of his model and social structure, and a general distaste for most non-insectoid races due to their inability to accept an insectoid protocol unit designated as a worker drone and common lack of clear social structure.
---Dislikes: Mistreated or oppressed droids being tasked beneath their station, and those largely responsible for such misguided and abusive uses. Touchy or emotional organics, and those that look out for only themselves and not the betterment of the current society/hive they find themselves serving. Humans and similar species in general for an abundance of these traits in their races.
---Habits: Though admittedly loyal, still has hive/insectoid based core programming. With a preternatural attraction to fire and its effects, often uses fire as a basis for explaining his perception of organics, due to his view of most as a ravaging and often self-destructive organism. Has little or purposeful ignorance of electronic privacy, and will often when left alone hack through systems and personal files of those organics encountered and those referenced as important in their personal files. Which has led to several dismemberments and partially successful memory wipes before coming into the ownership of a master that improved programming and judgment in execution of searches, albeit for personal reasons. Lighting small fires to assess new acquaintances/masters for competence under duress and emotional competency. Will often connect to nearby computers via communications package to garner information and for company if current form is too slow, boring, or absent.
Appearance
---Strengths: Computer codes, Languages/cultures, pyrotechnics/fire in general, loose electronic property ethics, and defensive up-close fighting capabilities.
---Weakness': Overconfident in own judgments, preference for use of fire, and inability to attack/harm organic/machine directly without being immediately endangered itself or its master in some way.
---Skin Plating Color: Tarnished/grungy mustard yellow (To human based eyes, highly accentuated in colors to Verpine spectrum of vision)
---Photoreceptor Color: One-way Black Protective casing
---Other Attributes: Extensive knowledge of computer, ship, languages, and droids.
---Other Details: Has integrated components, legs/hips and motivators where replaced with a Roche's 8D8 smelter droids. Has an incorporated small internal smuggling compartment, and has an attached backpack (Think B1 model for size and outward appearance) for extended comm capabilities and storage usage, and a multipurpose information socket inside the palm of each manipulator.
---Weapons: Not that kind of droid, beyond a basic C-22 flame pistol usually kept in the backpack.
Biography
---Personal History: To long and twisted to bore the common un-imprisoned audience
Amended is the Readers Regurgitation version.
Being the 85th off the production line has its perks, most of the earlier bugs from prototypes have been worked out of the programming and parts, and just enough deeper quirks remain to yet be uncovered in the programming of personality. After an inability to be sold due to large misunderstandings about the droids role, misconceiving the label 'worker drone' as an inventory and loading unit instead of a protocol unit designation, by other sentient species and particularly the large market represented by mammillian species due to the insectoid appearance and misunderstanding of the Verpine designation of Worker Drone. Causing it and its line to become known as a flawed and failed experiment into protocol droids by the Roche hives.
It spent a couple years of work programming other droids within one of the Roche asteroid hives gaining an increased working knowledge of many other forms of droids, 85 was later acquired in lot with a hundred other operational members by an up and coming underground criminal smuggling and information based organization, which eventually became known as the Smugglers Alliance years later after Karde took control of the organization after Cardaz disappeared. After a short term in service and change of leadership 85 was relocated along with thirty other J9 units to a large cargo ship to be transported to an undisclosed location for 'mixing' as a favor for a hidden informant of the organization in the CSA. Prior to which the droids were fitted for computer espionage, hacking, and reckon capabilities to better create, hopefully, additional informants or employees. During the mission it was one of the few left active aboard ship to help in the running of the ship and caretaking/spying on the 'delegation' they were transporting to an embargoed CSA controlled planet. Due to the droids hip motivators destruction caused by a mechanical repair accident of the ship during the mission 85 was unable to make the journey to be mixed with the crystalline sentience that was ‘borne’. The captain of the vessel kept 85 onboard ship afterwards and replaced his failed locomotion capabilities with that of an 8D8 unit, and continued with fiddling with upgrades ever since. It is after the initial upgrade with the 8D8 propulsion unit and software update that the droids ‘fascination’ with fire began.
After the captain retired for personal reasons, he took the droid with him in relocating to a Trianii Rangers space station where he and his wife raised the lost or orphans, largely those of none Trainii race that the Rangers had taken in after helping reclaim a colony world, where the unit operated largely as controller of estate and caretaker to the family. After many years, upgrades, and experiments later whilst operating in the droid rare environment of the Trianii, with their attitude to droids as children or near equals, his quirks accentuated into his current personality and outlook at treatment of droids by organics in the galaxy, views he hopes to someday share. Due to the highly spiritual undertone of the Trianii, which infuses every facet of their society, his views and eccentric use of fire took on a more religious and fact finding overtone, becoming more of a tool and use of discovery then merely a fascination. These views and uses of what he has learned before being reintroduced to the galaxy at large have greatly reshaped his personality and understanding of what a relationship between a droid and its owner or others should be, as well as whether one should be allowed to own a droid or deserves to be its master. Which perhaps in a way is its greatest weakness as it will judge a person solely on their stance and treatment of droids, and not considering other factors to outweigh it in importance, nor will its mind be easily changed that an individual should be perceived otherwise or that they can change.
