Well, as some of the mods might know from my (lengthy) Guild Application, I have this idea for a Shard/HRD character. I just wanted to know before I begun the application process if using "him" (as techincally the Shard are sentient crystals...) would be alright. Below I've included Wookiepedia links for the Shard and in regards to HRDs. Before I'm asked, no I have no intent of making my HRD after a "famous" or "politically influential" person, nor any plans to make Leia Oragna III. Although I do have further questions if its green-lit in regards to "customization."

Shards Wookiepedia Entry
* Please note there is no specific time in which they were discovered other than by Humans during the Old Republic period, nor when they began use of droid bodies. It should also be noted that, despite being inorganic, they are Force Sensitive.

HRD - Human Replica Droid
* In regards to this entry, it should be noted that there is no specific "time of production" for these droids, although the first appearence (media wise) was during a Rebellion-era story called "Iceworld." I also chose this particular "droid model" over the similar Synthdroid for 2 reasons: 1, the ideaology of independence. I did not want "my droid" to be manipulable via a control station similar to what the Trade Federation used for their army. The other is a personal reason I wish not to reveal too soon.
