Name: RA-CE (Republic Anti-Assassin Corellian Escort) aka "Race"
Race:N/A (Droid)
Age: 1
Height:5’10”
Weight: 380 lbs
Appearance:
Frame/Chassis
Ra is colored to match the royalty of Corellia- deep greens, golds and purples to fit his master. He stands rigidly still except for his centered eye which is always on the move, taking stills of everything and saving them. When moving however, Ra moves with a surprising fluidity, his build perfect for being on the move. He speaks with a very proper, somewhat excitable tone, programmed to mimic a living butler of sorts.
Birth place: Sleyan Machineworks Lab above Skako
Occupation: Bodyguard
Rank: N/A
Attributes:
Physical Strength: 6
Intelligence:5
Speed:6
Leadership:1
Unarmed: 6
Melee Weapons: 0
Ranged Weapons: 7
Bio: RA-CE has only recently made it off the factory floor of Sleyan Machineworks, the well known droid manufacturing company taking the Republics offer to make a bodyguard droid to fend off the recent rise of assassinations. Careful planning and programming went into the making of the RA, the company deciding that a protocol droid would never be seen as a protector, thus adding protocol programming into the advanced combat protocols into them.
So far reports of the RA droid have been positive ones, the droids acting fast and very protective of their masters- a good sign for the company. Some of the later model droids have been showing some behavior quirks when not routinely wiped, and Race is no exception. Even after only a few months, he began to reflect his programming to be proper, getting an almost pompous feel to his words.
Race went through the same Sleyan Approval Trial that all his fellow models did. A obstacle course for each type of terrain that the droids might encounter is ran daily, urban, jungle, desert, marsh, you name it, the droids are proved in it. Weapons calibration would come after that, making sure each droid was calibrated for maximum efficiency, each type of weapon tested to see how they handled them, heavy weapons, blasters, slugthrowers- these droids are programmed to handle any ranged weapon they can get their hands on. Following weapons training came close quarters combat training, the RA models programmed with mostly disarming maneuvers- their built in stunners coming in handy there.
After those tests came the teamwork ones, one droid body would be switched offline on purpose to see how long it took for the backup to turn on. Which, of course, happened almost instantly, but a delay would occur the farther away the droid was from the server and the backup. When it was deemed that function worked the droids then got their teamwork tested- the full three at a time droid team being activated at once, and then tested to see their teamwork. It was noted that their responses were delayed when more than one was activated, but not enough to cause harm to the droids function.
After months of testing, Race was deemed ready for service, but as a later model, was not put into activation right away. He sat in storage within Sleyan Machineworks for one month before a request for a RA model was filed by CorSec, a large group of Corellian Royalty had been assassinated, and they needed better security measures to protect their new king. And so RA-CE was dispatched to Corellia, where he will soon meet his new master.
Over the past year, there was a recall on all basic RA models, due to a fatal error where RUNTIME 12ZETA ran at 00.090 instead of 00.091, which caused the RA models to at random moments mutilate the very people they are supposed to guard. Luckily, this error was discovered, and recalled all models. Until just recently, where anyone who had placed an order for the previous RA's now get the new refurbished ones, now updated to have a more butler-droid appearance, as well as a slightly more durable frame.

RP Sample:
”Jolly good day sir!”
Rang out suddenly from right behind a disgruntled looking servant, making the man jump and shout before turning around angrily.
”Dammit Ra! How many times do I have to tell ya to not do that?”
The man looked at the gold and green droid with an annoyed look, his eyes boring into Ra’s vivid purple receptors which showed no remorse for scaring the poor servant. The droid stepped to the side then around the servant, those purple receptors never leaving the man. His programming told him the man wasn’t a threat- but his backup protocols told him everything was a threat.
”Don’t forget sir, no fast movements around the master- I’d hate to accidently fry your fleshy body thinking you might be trying to harm him!”
The pompous voice of Ra only echoed in the halls, the servant obviously unsure as to what to say to this mechanical guardian. He turned to watch Ra go as the droid raised an arm and with a flamboyant wave said
”Cheerio mate!”
Ra made his way down the halls of the royal palace, his purple vision picking up every little hiding spot and places that a trap could be set in- but his scanners told him all was clear. But as fast as he appeared behind the servant, a relay was sent to him via the server he was slaved to. Turning instantly his metal legs began pumping, but not before his vision suddenly split horizontally, a second series of images coming up in his receptors. Another of his bodies had been activated, someone was trying to harm the King. As Ra ran he accidentally slammed right through the banquet cart the servant from before was pushing, the table going flying and sending food everywhere.
"Dammit Ra!"
Shouted the servant once more, his face red with anger and a blue vein stretching down his forward in frustration.
"Terribly sorry sir!"
Shouted Ra as he ran, waving his right hand flamboyantly as he did before turning a sharp left and sprinting towards the palace entrance. The sounds of blasters firing and people screaming could be heard, along with a strangely familiar voice.
"Have at you sir! Touche!"
Ra reached the entrance to see a small group of people hiding behind one speeder, firing non stop at a downed speeder with the king- and Ra- crouched behind it. Ra watched as one of his bodies would occaisonally pop out from behind the speeder, arm blaster firing away as he traded retorts with no one.
"Fight back you curs!"
Ra instantly went into action, running forward then leaping over the downed speeder, landing with a clunk before running straight at the assassins, the men turning their weapons at Ra as he got closer. But Ra's second knew the plan, as the blasters turned towards the primary, he popped out from behind the speeder with a bawdy "Ha-ha!" before firing a flashbang at the assassins. The men cried out and Ra continued his charge, running over the other speeder as his hands reached out and latched down on soft flesh. Stunners activated and with a "Zzzt!" two of the attackers fell.
Ra didn't stop there though, his right arm spun backwards to slap another assassin across the face as its stunner activated, the man falling with another "Zzzt!" as it hit his cheek. But as he did, the final assassin aimed his blaster right at Ra's face, and let off a full clip into it. Sparks flew and Ra's body froze before slowly falling with a groan then a metallic thud. The former secondary Ra's vision became whole again, just in time to place a well aimed shot right at the last assassin's head, his body dropping with a thud. The Droid looked down at his master and said
"Brilliant! Only one casualty, and you are unharmed sir! What a glorious day indeed, wouldn't you say sir?"
