Personality:
+Default emotional state and temperament:
R0-GR is, or at least will introduce himself as, the last of the B1 Battle Droids. He is a type of war robot cheaply mass produced and used by a faction called the Separatists to wage a civil war that embroiled a galaxy. Regardless, in his mannerisms, movements, and speech, he seems very human, and emotion is very evident in his behavior.
In general conversation, Roger has a wry sense of humor. He has a cheery disposition but frequently makes snide criticisms through sarcasm. He is often boastful, and he is often clumsy. Roger has many artistic hobbies, chiefly including baking and writing his series of memoirs titled "From Trenches to Wrenches: The Roger Story".
It is very easy to put Roger into a state of mortal panic, or at least nervousness. If there is one emotion he feels most often and most strongly, it is fear. Anything that he percieves as a threat to himself can easily put him into a state of fright.

+Motivations and goals/Values/Regrets and fears:
What motivates Roger, what he values, and what he fears are all very closely interlinked.
R0-GR values his own life. Perhaps this is because he is the last living member of his droid model (or at least, he thinks he is). Or perhaps that is simply an excuse for a more simple desire for self-preservation. Regardless, he is pragmatic to this end. This is perhaps a result of an understanding of his own powerlessness that he learned as a result of many defeats during the war for which he was created. He cannot actually change anything, he reasons, so the best he can do is survive.
Over time, however, the circle of people that Roger protects in this way has grown. He has a family of humans that he values over his own self-preservation. Moreover, he is willing to put himself at some risk for broader movements, such as revolutions against galactic empires and a movement for the rights of droids. Still, most of the causes he does care about stand to benefit himself as well. Yet, as decades pass, he perhaps grows out of his selfishness more and more, putting a greater and greater value on his family. Still, throughout his life, he maintains his pragmatism, a constant realistic assessment of what he can and cannot accomplish.
Still, Roger is boastful, and seems to think of himself in high regard. However, he will also express remorse for what the battle droids did during the Clone Wars. He is, perhaps paradoxically, both proud of and ashamed of the Separatists, and what they did.

+Breaking points:
There are only a few things that can bring Roger into a state of rage. One of the few times he has seemed to do so was when what remained of an old comrade he once had was destroyed, which caused him to go charging at an enemy much more powerful than himself, guns blazing. His breaking point is such harm coming to those he cares about, even if it is done to them posthumously.

+How do they handle change and trauma?
R0-GR's body is not of inherent concern to him. As a machine, it is replacable. Almost every current part of his body is not the one that he began with. The B1 model is not particularly impressive compared to other droids, and R0-GR has had every oppurtunity to upgrade himself. However, R0-GR feels a special pride in being a B1-series Battle Droid. He believes himself to be the last B1 Battle Droid, and feels it to be important that he remain one.
Roger expects very little control of his life or the world around him. He will treat a loss of what little control he does have with little more than apprehensive resignation, perhaps after a brief bout of mortal terror if appropriate. Even R0-GR's mind is an assemblage of programming ultimately devised intentionally by other people, and he has had control of his own actions commandeered by external sources, so even this he does not necessarily expect to control. Roger is fearful to a fault, and vigilantly avoids trauma when he can, but he also expects it, and as a result takes it in stride once it has happened to him.

Powers/Abilities:

Droid Mechanics: R0-GR is a mechanical life form. His mind and body are fundamentally distinct from those of any organic creature. He does not need to eat, breathe, drink, or sleep in order to survive. Instead, he needs a supply of electrical power. Nothing will permanently kill him except for the destruction of his “brain.” Furthermore, R0-GR’s body does not decay in the same way an organic one would. As long as he is properly maintained, he will not lose any functionality as a result of age. He can be repaired, allowing him to recover from nearly any kind of damage.

Perfect Memory: Roger remembers everything that he experiences, and will not forget it unless someone intentionally erases his memory.

Machine Telepathy: R0-GR can communicate with other machines using wires in his head and using the comlink booster he has on his back. This allows him to control parts of his own body even when they are not directly connected to him, among other things.

Inventory:
SE-44C Blaster Pistol
Datapad

Game Plans:
Roger has always been a sort of cosmic plaything, something he was painfully aware of. He has grown over time and taken more control of his agency, but being sent without warning to Revan and then losing several months, two abrupt changes which have completely overturned his life, will challenge this growth. I wish to explore this.

Monster Choice:

Undead: Vampire
Roger has always been somewhat Undead. His appearance is skeleton-like, and is an immortal being that constantly breaks apart and has to put himself back together. Now, however, he has disappeared and come back, as if back from the dead. Also, vampires are cool.

Infernal: Hellhound
There is a sort of canine affectation to Roger, the loyal companion to the Freemakers, and to the B1 line in general. They are sort of demons in their own right as well; evil armies summoned from nothing to suit the whims of a pair of dark sorcerers, and they are certainly percieved demonically in their home galaxy for their role in the Clone Wars.

Swarm: Drider
This is the monster type that Roger had when he began, in the Test Drive I have assumed he continues to have it.

Vehicle Choice: Minivan, Spacious
