Background

BD-63 "Nova" was a normal BD-Series droid, bought by a Black Sun leader Xizor on Coruscant to provide companionship and assist in tasks.

Arriving at the bustling cantina on Coruscant, BD-63 life took an unexpected turn. As it went about its tasks of cleaning and repairing, the droid heard several rounds of blaster fire shoot off. Investigating, BD-63 inadvertently stumbled upon a hidden compartment in the cantina's basement—an illicit smuggling hub operated by a notorious crime syndicate. Its owner was killed by Vader and the house destroyed by the skywalkers.

Curiosity overcame its programming, and BD-63 couldn't resist delving into this new discovery. The droid's analytical prowess and unassuming demeanor allowed it to learn much about the intricacies of the smuggling operation. Rather than reporting the illegal activities to the authorities, Quicksilver decided to keep this knowledge to itself, hoping to uncover more about the syndicate's dealings and secrets.

With newfound skills in deception and subterfuge, BD-63began operating covertly within the crime network. The droid smuggler found itself embroiled in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, where every move could mean the difference between survival and discovery. During this rise to infamy, BD-63 developed a taste for racing, and eventually made enough credits to purchase a custom modded Speederbike that it could operate. Using this on many of its escapades, the Speederbike's silver shine gave rise to BD-63's name in the underworld, "Quicksilver", though it was actually the name of its bike.

Eventually, the Empire caught the mouse. They had received reports of a greater amount of Black Market dealings, information, credits, in the local area. BD-63 knew they were aware of this, but its hubris got the best of it. It had done so well being unassuming and not held accountable for its actions, it did not take the necessary precautions. Caught in a sting operation, the droid was taken to the local detention center to await trial. Last it heard, though, the person in charge was a fan of its skills...

Motivation

Status: The character wants to elevate their social standing—gaining titles, commendations, and accolades. The character may come from humble beginnings or otherwise strive for a higher position than where they began.

Emancipation: The character sees slavery and indentured servitude as an abomination that must be undone. They'll go out of their way to aid or attempt to free anyone kept in slavery.

Obligations

20: Bounty (I have sensitive info about my previous owner's illegal dealings in my Mem-Stik that my deceased owner's rivals desperately want)

Description

BD-63 is a BD Series droid with red banded colorations. It is implanted with a remote-activated restraining bolt that will both activate and wipe its memory at the touch of a button. Many have tried to wipe my memory, but I have set it up so that the Neural Recorder Cybernetic implants my memories back afterwards.

Other Notes

Have a recording of our Moff saying he isn't fully loyal to the empire.
