ARC Hearts CT-0533 (RP)

## Hearts

(Quote)

CT-0533 'Hearts' was born on Kamino, like all other clones. Once had finished his training he was assigned to the 327th Star Corps, quickly making himself at home with his newfound family. He served the 327th Star Corps dutifully, taking part in several battles before he was transferred to the 332nd company under the 501st legion. Despite the things he and many others witnessed in the Third Systems Army, he served with the same dedication he gave the 327th.. until he was once again transfered, this time to the 'Havoc'.

## **Biography**

Growing up on Kamino alongside his brothers, CT-0533 felt out of place amongst them. He never got comfortable with the squad he was placed in, making him distant to those around him. Once he and his squad had passed all their tests they were assigned to the 327th.

In the 327th, CT-0533 quickly grew close with CT-1022 affectionately known as 'Rhino'. Rhino and Hearts often fought alongside one another in their battles, always ensuring the other's safety. Eventually another clone by the name of Clubs was assigned to the 327th, who though cold and distant to most felt like he belonged with the duo. Upon receiving word of his transfer to the 332nd company Hearts was devastated that he wouldn't be with the few friends he had. Knowing he likely would never see them again he commemorated them by putting two hearts on his armor, after which Clubs gave him the nickname 'Hearts'.

Once Hearts had arrived on the Sims-1 with the 332nd he tried to make himself at home, but never felt like he belonged. During his time there he did little other than report to his duty and do what was asked of him.

After his rather short tenure with the 332nd Hearts was transferred for the last time to the ARC legion's flagship the 'Havoc'. For the first few weeks he primarily kept to himself, not even speaking with his bunkmate. Eventually a clone by the name of Chess befriended him, the 2 quickly became close with Hearts moving into their bunks less than a week later.

After the crash of the 'Havoc' following the explosion of a nearby venator, Hearts was awoken by his friend: Chess. The 2 eventually found their way to the hangar where they made makeshift quarters with what was available to them.

From their they just survived until Republic forces managed to rescue them, returning him to his unit.

## **Personality and Traits**

Hearts is a rather awkward individual in social scenarios, preferring others do the talking. As a result of this he is utterly incapable of leading. However he will follow orders to the letter, applying himself to the situation as needed. He cares deeply for the Republic, seeing it as the very reason he's alive. Because of this he is quick to anger whenever the Republic's flaws are pointed out. Given his social ineptitude he lacks many friends, but those he does have (such as Chess) he is very protective over, willing to do anything to ensure their well-being.

## **Combat Abilities**

0533, while capable, isn't especially good at anything bar his issued equipment and hand to hand combat. The latter of which was enough to contend with Bo Katan, though it should be of note she was actively holding back in terms of speed.

As a member of one of the first few clone batches Hearts is particularly skilled with the original phase I kit. To the point of being one of the Republic's top scorers when it comes to the original DC-15A rifle. He also prefers the original phase I armor due to it's better protection, which presents issues when it comes to mobility.

Due to his utter reliance on Republic equipment, his effectiveness would be greatly diminished if he was removed from his gear. This is particularly of note with blaster rifles.

It should be of note he has developed some skills when it comes to survival due to his time stranded on Hoth, without Republic support.
