Droid Model: Modified 2-1B Surgical Droid
Nickname: Wannabe (after the 1B in 2-1B. He hates this)
Appearance: Wannabe is slightly bulkier than the average 2-1B surgical droid, having significant upgrades to his exterior plating for damage resistance. The extra arms are stored in his thighs for ease of access, and he wears a full set of Jedi robes to act as a decoy in case of ambush. His gripping hand is visibly modified for ease of holding firearms.
Specialty/Abilities: “Are you the sniper, heavy, or maybe the engineer of the group? Try to keep in mind what other character’s have been made, and try to fill a need where you see one. A squad would be sunk with three gunners and no medics!”

Wannabe is an expert with medical capabilities and immediate first aid. However, he is limited by the fact that he has next to no supplies, operating only on the good faith that whatever’s in the atmosphere won’t enter the bloodstream and kill whoever he’s operating on. For smaller medical mishaps, he is practically useless.
He is also a near-perfect shot, with limitations. Namely, his sardonic approach to everything means he will not bother attempting anything unless the probability of success is very high. If his target is lined up perfectly, but the ramifications of eliminating said target mean alerting the surrounding forces to his position, he will not attempt any alternate plans and simply give up. He needs constant orders to act in scenarios where a judgement call needs to be made.
Weapons/Equipment: Wannabe comes with four forearms: modified gripping hand for ease of holding firearms, hypodermic syringe with full compartment of anesthetic, cutting saw, and extendable needle-nose tweezers for shrapnel extraction. He keeps two arms present at all times and can swap them effortlessly, storing the extra pair in thigh compartments.
He also wields a DC-15A blaster carbine to great efficiency, due to being a machine with programming to be an excellent shot. However due to the limitations in movement he is physically incapable of wielding anything longer than that, since the weight displacement would mess with his calibration. As well, he is an expert shot with the DC-15A carbine and the DC-15A carbine only, as the differences in weapon recoil, size, and aiming does not compute with his programming, and he would be firing expecting the same results from the DC-15A blaster carbine.
He also wears a set of Jedi robes in the likelihood that, faced with overwhelming opposition, he would be utilized as bait to protect the Jedi general Viego Norr. His legs have been modified for increased locomotion capabilities, allowing him to - if considerably awkwardly - keep up with the high-octane antics of a Clone team on the move.
Personality/Weaknesses: Wannabe is something of a racist. 2-1B surgical droids are exceptionally intelligent, and Wannabe’s involvement with war programming has lead him to be nihilistic in his philosophy. Since most other droids are not programmed with his level of intelligence, they should not be treated with the same respect or care that more intelligent droids like himself receive.
Furthermore, the species that created him must be one of the few apex species in the known universe, since it was able to construct artificial intelligence to such a high degree. Any species exhibiting intelligence less than that of his creators must be inherently inferior.
And to top it all off, these Clone Troopers are simply droids - mass-produced machines programmed with specific instructions and created as disposable fodder in a war. They did not deserve respect for their intellectual acumen since they were incapable of reaching the heights of the genuine copy of themselves, being artificial replacements. They were simply organic droids occasionally in need of repair, which he provided. To this extent, Wannabe refers to himself as a ‘mechanic’.
One major weakness for Wannabe is that he does not possess true battle experience, knowing what judgement calls to make in life-or-death scenarios that exceed his basic programming. He also has no visible compassion or even an attempt of such outside of dry sarcasm, which easily puts him at odds with the more emotionally-driven Clones. Being a Droid has certain advantages in Droid-to-Droid conversation, but being a convincing actor also means not badmouthing everyone you come across.
Backstory/Previous Experiences: 2-1B droids are fresh off the conveyor belts, and there is not much trust in a droid performing surgical procedures on anything living. However Wannabe has been tried and tested by the grand army of the republic and modified to be fit for service. Only a small handful of 2-1B droids are currently on active duty, but Wannabe is something of a test to see how a droid of that nature would fair in combat scenario. With a Jedi on board, it should be very easy to ensure the survivability of the machine.
Wannabe has been through hundreds of simulations, but this is the first active combat he has been present in.
