The Holocron of FX-7 Medical Droid

[faure]

Personality changed to loyal

I'm not seeing Loyal as personality. The FX-7 unit heals whatever units are adjacent. Merciful would make more sense.

Here's why (from Wookiepedia):
FX-7 was stationed in the Rebels secret Echo Base on the ice planet of Hoth. He assisted both Human and droid medics in the Echo Base medical lab. The droids ability to use its twenty retractable manipulator arms simultaneously proved useful to an understaffed medical bay. After the loss of Yavin Base, the Alliance used any outmoded equipment they could find. This droid was certainly classed as outmoded but proved invaluable for its sophisticated medical, diagnostic and procedural programming. Although this droid was capable of speech, its speech synthesizer card was missing.

FX-7 assisted 2-1B on Hoth after Luke Skywalker was attacked by a wampa. The droids built up a good rapport with one another, and had worked together for more than a year. Despite this, 2-1B would often state his superiority over his medical assistant, due to his egotistical droid personality.

FX-7 and 2-1B escaped Hoth aboard the GR-75 medium transport Bright Hope, the last transport to leave the planet. After the bounty hunters 4-LOM and Zuckuss rescued the passengers of the Bright Hope, including the two medical droids, FX-7 was reassigned to the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Redemption.

That was the main reason, it seemed the be the most fitting that he would still work with 2-1B after 2-1B's arrogance. After reading his bio a few times, I went through the list of established personalities and that one stuck out to me.

And can someone check the second post? Wordsmithing probably needs help.

I agree with faure on this. If FX-7 was a unique hero, Loyal would work. However, this is a common hero with potentially multiple figures on the battlefield. Perhaps we should take the "7" out of the name.
FX Series Medical Droid

That wookieepedia page is for the unique hero FX-7.

I agree with Mac.

I concur with the two posts above. We are going for a generic uncommon medical droid with this card, 2-1B was our hero droid. Reading the bio info and it looks like FX-7 was the generic model number for this series of medical droid. Their were 10 different types of FX droids, type FX-7 was the one seen in the movies and I believe the ones featured in the Battlefront Video Games.

If there were 10 different series (serieses?? or maybe Siris ) of FX droids, then just saying "FX Series" is not specific enough. How about "FX-7 Series Medical Droid" for the name?

Just call it FX-7.

Call it FX-7 Medical Assistant Droid

Or FX-7 Medical Droid.

Or just FX-7.

I'm fine with any of them.

I like both the 2nd & 3rd option, the 1st one is a bit too long. Remember that the full name will need to be spelled out every time it is referenced in a power on the card. I think we are okay on space for this guy but setting a precedence now for a longer name may bite us later down the road.

I think FX-7 is fine. When you're saying "an FX-7 is complex*," you're talking about the Common FX-7. When you're saying "FX-7 was loyal," you're talking about the Unique FX-7.

*Because of the multiple tools that they had.

I don't hate Precise. I just like variety.

That's why I think Merciful is the way to go with this one. And it fits with healing ALL adjacent figures.
