I got a request for the stats of one of the PCs from my web page and I
figured, "What the heck! I'll inflict poor Charlie on the list too!"

If the Cthulhu adventure I described the other day represents one extreme of
my campaign, then this droid certainly represents the other. I didn't bother
to bring the stats up to 2nd Edition standards so there are some house-rules
skills below. I've noted the more unusual ones.

Set phasers on fun...

Move: 7 (due to repulsor-peg leg)
Equipment: Bag of tools, 2 smoke grenades, 2 tangler grenades, ersatz thermal
detonator, magnetic boots, plastic Imperial pilot's wings, pirate hat, patch,
stuffed parrot and plastic scimitar, disabled restraining bolt.
Background: Charlie's background is something of a mystery. He believes he
was built by a crazy/brilliant blue collar mechanic as an assistant and
buddy. The builder's name is also Charlie and may have been killed in an
attack by the Empire. The appearance of at least two other similar droids
(Charleton the Bounty Hunter, Chuck the 3 foot tall engineer) has made
Charlie doubt the veracity of some of his memories.
Personality: Charlie is affable, simple in regards to everything but
technology. He is imperturbable and has little sense for self-preservation or
keeping out of trouble. Charlie absolutely cannot tell a lie. It's not for
lack of trying however.
Description: Charlie is a short, corroding, pot-bellied, custom-made piece of
junk. It's unclear whether he was originally a sickly green color or has
simply tarnished. He has a beanie prop on his head. Charlie's habit of
needing replacement limbs currently leaves him with a neon purple bowling arm
and a repulsor-peg leg.
A Quote: "In one chip, out the other."

Charlie is played by my pal Shelley Bolman.
