"*Elio has been disposed of. Returning to ship now.*"
―Highsinger after successfully eliminating a target.

## C-21 Highsinger

### Infiltrating the Speedway

During 20 BBY C-21 Highsinger was contacted by the Largo family regarding a lucrative job offer; taking out members of the Ferlani family. Alongside many other esteemed Bounty Hunters Highsinger made his way to the Togatto Speedway to take on a job offer proposed to him by Donna Largo, a well known crime lord. Their job was to interrogate Elio Ferlani for information on a safehouse, before proceeding to kill him. But first, he was fully briefed fully at the Largo Castle. Nothing of note happened during this briefing, so further details regarding it shall not be seen here.

#### Entering the Speedway

Having made their way to the Speedway, Highsinger and his fellow Bounty Hunters entered through the staff entrance after 3 guards were quickly disposed off by his compatriots, the main entrance was unavailable for his use due to his highly unique appearance. From there, he made his way to the supply room with some of the others, taking guard just by the entrance to the room incase any guards were to enter. Two guards soon walked up to the doorway, asking for wine, however, three guards soon entered through another entrance to the room, noticing the Bounty Hunters and alerting the other guards nearby, and so Highsinger quickly made his way through the doorway and shot two stun bolts at the guards standing outside, picking up their now limp bodies and throwing them at the other 3 combatants. This, combined with the other Bounty Hunter's efforts, led to all 5 guards being unconscious.

#### The Backrooms

Once the other Guards had been disposed off, Highsinger gave some advice to Dengar as to what to say over the Comm to the remaining guards so as to not alert them. However, Dengar not being the brightest of individuals, ignored Highsinger's advice, making the guards somewhat suspicious and causing them to send Dispatches 2 and 5 to their position, thus prompting the Bounty Hunters to get a move on. Highsinger made his way down the Backrooms to a staircase, which contained a map of the raceway's interior printed onto the nearby wall. However, as the other Bounty Hunters failed to distract the Dispatches over the comms, Highsinger ran back into the Supply Room, now containing the two dispatch units and started rapidly spinning his torso and shooting them all with stun bolts alongside Sugi and Bossk, knocking them all out. Once the rest of the Guards had been successfully fooled over the Comms, Highsinger made his way up to the third floor, slicing through a door to access the rest of the floor.

#### The Family

Highsinger and the rest entered through the hacked open door, seeing that the 3rd Floor was private viewing rooms for wealthy families... and the Ferlanis. He quickly took out two guards in the hallway with using his prowess with Blaster Pistols, before entering a room that he saw had more guards via Thermal Imaging. As a few more guards arrived, Highsinger ignored them and let the other Bounty Hunters deal with them, he proceeded to knock on the door, punching the guard that soon opened it into the 7th Dimension before sprinting inside and assessing the situation. He proceeded to take out the 3 other guards inside, albeit his shoulder was nicked by a blaster bolt, dealing minimal damage. Once done so, he knocks everyone out in the room save Elio and the Bounty Hunters (these people were Sciella Ferlani, their son Kerres and his wife Preziosa along with their 2 children (Stella (aged 12) and Panddo (aged 7)). Highsinger then dragged Elio and the rest of the family backstage with the other Bounty Hunters, receiving the rest of the instructions from Donna/Angelica. Once done so, he dragged the family into another room with Bossk and kept watch over them, the next task being to cut off Elio's hand. However, believing it was taking too long, Highsinger finished the job himself, slicing the hand off cleanly. This makes the children cry, and this won't be the last time Highsinger makes little kids cry either. Once done informing the family with the rest of the Bounty Hunters, Highsinger knocks Elio unconscious and takes him to the riviera behind the stadium, pulling out a blaster pistol as he dumps him by the river. Highsinger was the only witness to Elio's last words, but didn't bother listening as it paid no importance to the job. He proceeds to shoot Elio in the head, the force of the shot knocking him into the river. Once this is done he goes back to his ship and begins a flight back to the Castle of Donna Largo.

### The Downfall of the Ferlani

#### Time spent on Esseles

Alongside his Bounty Hunter associates, Highsinger made his way to the Largo's castle on Esseles once more, taking out some of his equipment and setting up in the private quarters that had been allocated to him, essentially a large empty room with a charging port, a desk and some empty shelving. Perfect for a Droid such as himself. Once all had been moved to his room, Highsinger began charging himself in the Charging Port after a flawless day's work. He stayed at the mansion for awhile, before departing to finish the Ferlani Job.

#### The Palace Interior

Highsinger arrived somewhat late to the job, having spent awhile prepping, but entered the interior of the Palace after the entrance had been dealt with by the other Bounty Hunters. This was now a full on battle, and Highsinger could hear many approaching footsteps, and so he took a place by a doorway as he had done previously at the raceway. As the doorway was quite narrow, Highsinger was able to push the guards back using his raw power, before sending a wave of blaster bolts at them, demolishing any that came through his doorway. Highsinger then went through the doorway in an attempt to flank the guards, going up a staircase and ending up on the rafters. From here he maneuvered himself to be directly above the main group of guards, throwing down two thermals at them before jumping back and shooting any remaining from behind. However, the force of the explosion does knock him backwards into the wall at some speed, although this dealt minimal damage due to his tough outer layer of Duraplast. The guards, being somewhat thick, had somehow not noticed Highsinger, and so he shot even more in the back. By now all the Guards had died, and so Highsinger made his way to the backrooms.

#### The Palace Backrooms

Having dealt with the guards in the main hall, Highsinger proceeded to the backrooms, using Thermal Imaging to find any more guards. From doing this he realised there were 5 heat signatures just outside on Speeder Bikes. Highsinger jumped through a window with Sugi by his side, shooting the engines of the speeder bikes to stop them working, killing the guards but leaving the man he needed alive. Cartan Ferlani and his wife. The Bounty Hunters proceeded to interrogate Cartan on the whereabouts of their other target, Luthus, but no information was revealed... up until Highsinger shot Cartan's wife in the foot and Sugi put a knife to her eye. From here some further torture of the wife ensued, until Cartan gave up the location of the Ferlani safehouse. Highsinger then proceeds to shoot them both, despite trying to be blocked by Embo, who wished to extort them for extra cash. He then called Angelica/Donna, who told them to search the body of Cartan for a transponder which would give the location of the safehouse, which was found on said body. From here, the Bounty Hunters began either flying or riding speeder bikes to the safehouse.

#### The Final Stand

Arriving at the safehouse, Highsinger immediately began shooting the guards, immediately killing four out of the six stationed outside, this however, alerted the rest. From here, using a combination of thermal imaging, cover and his extreme skill in Blaster Pistols, Highsinger took out the rest with the other Bounty Hunters help. This took out the rest, however fifteen more guards soon arrived from the house as reinforcements. Highsinger threw a smoke grenade, using it to obscure the guards vision as he stood up to get clearer shots on the guards. Confused and disorientated, the guards ran out into the open... and Highsinger rapidly shooting bullets as he span his torso, eliminating the rest.

#### Highsinger slaps a Child.

Having dealt with the guards outside, Highsinger entered the interior with the rest of the Bounty Hunters. Highsinger comms Donna, asking if the family members should be killed, and is told 'no'. From here a crying little girl points up the staircase when questioned on Luthus' whereabouts, and as he goes up the stairs, Highsinger slaps the child with a fair deal of force behind it. Fear is the greatest motivator. Highsinger barged into the room containing Luthus upstairs, being faced with a machine gun that effectively fired concentrated disruptor rifle bolts. 'SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND' was the last thing Highsinger's left arm heard before being shot clean off. Highsinger immediately took cover and waited for the man to stop firing, which he did, proceeding to attempt to climb out the window behind him and failing miserably due to the combined Bounty Hunter efforts. Highsinger proceeded to stare the man down, contacting Cyllia (Donna's secretary) and taking him back to the Safehouse entrance. From here Cyllia paid all the Bounty Hunters one million credits for their work, and Highsinger returned to the castle for some time.

### Departure to Aridus

#### New Frontiers

====Departure====

Having spent a decent amount of time at the Castle, Highsinger received a new job opportunity, a rather simple one proposed to him by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Protect an ancient Sith Artifact, eliminate anything that comes out of it and if possible, make sure it ends up in the hands of the CIS. The payment was quite lucrative; extremely powerful weaponry, a handsome sum of credits, and bonus payments for performing small experiments on the coffin on the behalf of a man named 'Dave'. And so Highsinger set off for a small dustball of a planet named Aridus.

====Arrival and Hallucinations====

Upon arriving at the base, Highsinger was immediately shot upon by the 415th Exploratory Battalion, possibly because boulders and grey and his coat of paint is also grey. However, after some brief explanations and receiving the new weaponry from Dave, Highsinger was allowed to enter the camp. From here he inspected the artifact, a coffin with peculiar marks on its front. Intrigued by this and prompted by Dave, Highsinger later walked through the hastily set up minefield which had been recently placed around the Coffin, inspecting the bottom of it. This spurted the first of two very peculiar incidents. His sensors picked up strange red tentacles on the bottom of the coffin, before disappearing completely for a few seconds. From here, Highsinger turned around and... he could remember nothing of the last few seconds, save a disembodied voice. Further research would be required.

#### The 'Phantom Pain' Incident

A few days later, on another errand requested by 'Dave', Highsinger would shoot the coffin with a Radiation Cannon. This dealt no damage to the coffin whatsoever, however, as he turned to walk away his sensors were blinded, and he began to be crushed by what was most likely a practitioner of the Dark Side using Force Crush. This however, was not the oddity, rather during this he felt immense pain, something that had never happened to him before. He had no pain sensors, and yet somehow he still felt it. He also felt a blaster bolt being shot through him as a member of the 415th enacted what Highsinger believed to be revenge, for he was not on great terms with them. After being dragged back to his ship by his droids and realising he had also gained the sensation of touch, Highsinger accidentally ended up torturing himself, and had to be repaired for five days for his sensors were broken, his legs were effectively useless hunks of twisted metal, his arms were the same and his entire body was burnt by his accidental torture. Remarkably, Highsinger was fully functional once more after the five days were up, but he kept the sensation of pain and of touch.

## Personality and Traits

Highsinger is cold and calculating, feeling no emotions whatsoever, even when murdering innocents. He follows every job he gets to the letter, as long as its not drastically endangering his life. Due to his personality, Highsinger is liked by little people save fellow Bounty Hunters and those similar to him when it comes down to morality. Not much else can be said, for Highsinger is a simple droid when it comes down to personality.

### Relationships

Highsinger does not have many relationships that can be written here due to his personality, however those that can are below.

### Bounty Hunters

Highsinger has no personal relationships with any Bounty Hunters, however he is generally well respected by his peers for his efficiency and skill.

### 415th Exploratory Battalion

Highsinger is generally disliked by the 415th. Being referred to as a 'Clanker' and being mistrusted by many during his time spent on Aridus. He has been shot at multiple times, and is generally hated by these clones.

## Equipment

Highsinger has a large arsenal of weaponry, including even his body. Those that are used more often than others are listed below.

### Body

Highsinger is a unique droid, a rarity within the galaxy. He is one of a kind, and has made many modifications upon himself. He is made mostly of Durasteel, and has a thick Duraplast plating on his exterior that protects him from most forms of damage and EMP's. His chest is rotatable, allowing him to fill entire rooms with blaster bolts, and the parts that make up his body are of the finest range. He also has a built-in wrist blaster.

### X-8 Night Snipe

His Blaster Pistol of choice, a small pistol manufactured by Blastech often used as a side weapon or duel-wielded.

### E-5C Heavy Blaster Rifle

A Blaster Rifle used by both Highsinger and the CIS, maybe painting a clue as to his origins. Most oftenly used alongside a blaster pistol but is sometimes dual-wielded.
