'Who am I?'

'What is my purpose?'

'Why am I here?'

Bright, red figures flashed across my retina, indicating the source of the annoying sound. The figures were part of the Greek alphabet, yet I found I could understand them perfectly.
Optical Sensors Online..._
Light pierced my eyes. For one brief, blissful moment my entire existence was light. Pure, unspoiled light. Then, it came again...
*Click*
My eyes focused. I was surrounded by soldiers. Off to my left was a man dressed in a white lab coat with thick glasses. He was attempting, unsuccessfully, to attatch a small cylinder to the muzzle of a rather effective-looking blaster.
Deftly, I reached over, grabbing both blaster and cylinder from him. Flipping the cylinder over, I inserted it into the muzzle of the blaster, twisting it and locking it into place. I held it out to him, but he didn't take it. Instead, he fidgeted nervously and stuttered. Luckily, my audial sensors filtered out the redundant syllables.
"Thank you, but it's yours. It was designed especially for you. Just push that green button right there."
I complied. Before my eyes, the blaster collapsed into a silver circle. It immediately shrank to the circumfrence of my wrist... and stayed there. I clenched my fist, thinking about the blaster's true form, when I felt the bangle expand, covering my hand and forearm in a comforting cocoon of metal that was the blaster. The scientist stared in amazement.
"Well, you already know how to activate it, so it won't take you long to figure out how to control it."
When I said nothing, he fiddled with his glasses and backed out of the room, mumbling something about reporting to Centurion.
'Centurion...'
'My creator...'
'One hundred...'
'That's all that's needed.'
A figure stood before me. She was dressed in a black combat suit. Her configuration and bio-rhythm matched that of my direct subordinate, Nyx.
"Time to commence test #216," she stated. I nodded, stood, and followed her out of the room; flanked by human soldiers.

One hour, twelve minutes, and thirty-nine seconds later, I found myself walking down a lightly traversed duracrete walkway. As I did so, my eyes were drawn to a large. store window. I saw myself reflected in its smooth surface. Men would say my appearance was pleasing to behold, but the concept of beauty was foreign to me.
'Another advantage.'
'Humans: pathetic.'
'Androids: antique.'
'Conquerors: flawless.'
I spoke into my comm unit. My honey smooth voice enunciated every syllable effortlessly.
"Unit 100 to Centurion. Test #216 successful. Neither human nor android noticed my presence."
More Greek letters flashed across my retina, ordering me back to base. As I walked to the rendezvous site, I mentally answered the questions I had previously asked myself.
'Who am I?'
I am Nemesis.
'Why am I here?'
To prove the folly of human existence, and punish those androids that co-exist with them.
'What is my purpose?'
To assist in the ushering in of a New Regime.
Near the site, I turned for one last look at the city I'd just walked through. My lips pulled back into a smile that was more of a sneer. The people of this city, this planet... Coruscant, would never be warned. The universe would never be told.
Only one hundred were made. One hundred would rise. And by one hundred, the galaxy would fall.

If you haven't guessed by now, this is a Star Wars RP. You have choices. You can be some normal Star Wars character(Force users are allowed, but there will be rules), or you can be part of my group of 100.
Being a normal SW char will be the easiest for you, but if you want a bit of a challenge, the 100s are up for grabs.
If you choose to be part of the 100, you must have a Greek or Roman name of some sort of diety, muse, whatever. There cannot be two equivalent names, though.(ex. Mercury-Roman + Hermes-Greek= same guy just different names).
My chars so far are Nemesis for the Greek goddess of Retribution, and Nyx for the Greek goddess of Night. A background for these two and a specific storyline will be put up when I see some interest is taken in this RP.
