Characters in Game (previously too): None
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Proxy
Canon: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Gender: Male
Age: Around 20 years old, as much as that works for a robot
Suitability: N/A
Species: Robot
Canon Point: After he delivers Darth Vader’s message when Starkiller wakes up after Vader’s first betrayal
World/Setting: N/A
History: Here.
Personality: Proxy is a comedic sidekick, with everything that it entails. However, Proxy has also programmed to kill Starkiller ever since he was a child, and Proxy has no intention of ever stopping. In his own weird way, Proxy sees fulfilling this part of his programming as a favor he does his master, to whom he’s devoted. In fact, when Proxy loses this part of his programming, he apologises to Starkiller, saying he’s useless now. This is a feeling he will probably experience in a more pronounced degree, since he will be losing every single function he ever had, effectively making him genuinely useless as an assistant to Starkiller. As such, he will most likely follow any lead he gets that could get him his old functions back.
Despite his programming, he doesn’t seem to fully understand the ramifications of his hypothetical success, and takes a special kind of glee in surprising Starkiller with new or old training modules that he hopes will subdue Starkiller and allow him to kill him. In a lot of ways, Proxy’s relationship with Starkiller is contradictory. On one hand, Proxy is programmed to randomly attack Starkiller with the intent to kill, but on the other hand, he is also programmed to assist Starkiller in any way needed for their missions, such as accessing Imperial records for information on their targets, etc. His devotion and loyalty to Starkiller is best illustrated by his attack on Darth Vader when Starkiller is betrayed for the second time.
As implied by his lack of full grasp of what fulfilling his primary programming entails, Proxy has a relatively naïve outlook on the situations he finds himself in, and for the most part maintains a cheerful disposition throughout everything, even when driving a ship towards a star after disabling its escape pods. As such, he also shows some clueless for human interaction and for concepts such as tact, such when he tells Starkiller that he can tell Juno will be impossible to reprogram, right in front of her.
However, he still seems to have some understanding of the harsher realities of life, as he seems to be in some sort of saddened awe when he hears all the droids of Raxus Prime calling out to each other, remarking that it is where all droids go to die. He also always seems perfectly alert and aware of everything going on around him. Despite the fact that he’s a machine, he also expresses a distaste for being used to deliver communications by Darth Vader. In a lot of ways, his relationship with Vader, however distant, mirrors Starkiller’s own relationship with Vader, as they start as loyal double-agents to the Empire and slowly shift to genuinely supporting the Rebels. Speaking of Proxy’s condition as a machine, he tends to express things almost as if he sees humans as being robots themselves, as shown by the comment about Juno being impossible to reprogram above, and when he congratulates Starkiller on being so close to fulfill his primary programming.
As mentioned above, Proxy is a comedic sidekick; however, his mannerisms and behaviour are surprisingly subdued. Proxy is competent and effective as both a fighter and as a general purpose droid, be it as a communication facilitator or an assistant in ship maintenance.His moments of flamboyance, for a lack of a better word, as more present in his voice, where the goofyness expected off a sidekick comes through. He is mentioned to have a curious nature, pursuing information of a variety of topics, as well as being capable of showing initiative when appropriate.
Abilities/Weaknesses: Proxy is capable of assuming the shape and voice of anyone, although he usually only does so when fighting Starkiller, relaying communications from that person, or when accessing Imperial records. During said fights against Starkiller, he can also mimic the fighting styles of the people he’s impersonating. He also capable of mimicking telekinesis through what’s described in the game’s novelization as “clever use of repulsor technologies”. On his own, however, Proxy isn’t all that powerful, either as a robot or as a human like he’ll be in the game.

Proxy's arrival to this new world had been a rollercoaster of emotions, far beyond what Proxy ever expected to experience. First it was the surprise and interested shock at where he suddenly found himself, and the immediate search for information on this strange new place, and how to get out. The realization that he had been given a new body, and a human one at that, hit him hard, though. How could this have been? Surely he'd have noticed if he had somehow been transferred to a new organic body. And then he was hit with a new thought. His master. Was he here too?
At once, he set about finding his master. He got lucky! The name Starkiller did ring a few bells among the populace, and Proxy was able to find his master quickly enough. Only one problem...
In this new body, his master had no idea who Proxy was. This almost set him in a panic, as he frantically tried to convince his master of who he was. Once that was handled, Proxy was hit with another realization: his programming was gone now that he was human! How could he possibly be of any uses to his master without his robotic functions, or his programming to kill Starkiller?
Once the shock and depression over his current state had subsided, in no small part thanks to his master’s reassurance that there was still a use for him, and that they would find a way to get their powers back, Proxy found himself himself oddly fascinated by his new body. It wasn’t quite as soft as he’d imagined, and sturdier than he thought as well. More flexible than most of his old robotic body. And so sensitive. Every touch seemed to send a new sensation he had to process, sometimes a new mark on the skin. It was more intense than he expected. How did humans function in this state of near constant stimuli?
But perhaps more surprising was how quiet it actually was. Proxy has previously wondering if the sounds made by some of the compositions of the human body bothered them, but he now saw that there no sounds at all. Nothing that could be easily noticed, at least. It was truly quite fascinating. His new biological functions, such sleep or eating were a definite adjustment, but he was confident that with his master's aid he'd be able to master them.
Of course, this was all but a small comfort, a distraction, from what plagued him. While the initial shock had indeed subsided, it was still not something he could just get over just like that. He felt lost without his programming. Without a single goal that he was to work towards, with every fiber of his being working towards finding the best occasion to make it happen. What was he supposed to do now that he was aimless? That was a question he didn’t like to ponder over, and yet kept coming back to him.
