Idris & Tuka

Introduction
Idris (1DR15) and Tuka (Tuka-Tuka) were both invented in 2015, to serve as characters in role-play. The two have been inseparable since their first encounter, and have remained a powerful duo ever since. They were later brought int Into the Cosmos, and then Starscape.

Origin - Idris:
Idris' name is stylized from her serial number, 1DR15. The robot 1DR15 was created to serve as a caretaker, produced by Betamec Industries to appear totally human. While 1DR15 was being transported to a distributor, an advocate for Android-Rights fitted 1DR15 and the rest of the units with Sentience Modules, which would waken their conscience. Upon reaching their destination, 1DR15 and the other androids staged a daring escape, lead by the advocate. 1DR15 was separated from the group, and began to wander aimlessly in the city the androids had been delivered to. While many of 1DR15's fellow escapees had been captured or destroyed, 1DR15 would not be detained. After some pondering, 1DR15 decided to refer to it's self as Idris, after looking at the serial number imprinted on it's wrist. Soon after, she would adopt feminine pronouns. Idris would wander for a time, until she discovered a group of other runaway androids, who told her of their struggle for freedom. For some time, Idris would follow the instructions of the more experienced androids, working to attain a certificate of sentience, establishing her as a galactic citizen. By then, Idris had developed a personality of her own. She was snarky, quick of the tongue and witty. She was also inquisitive, eager to explore the galaxy and to express her freedom. After attaining her status as a galactic citizen, Idris could not stand to work a menial job, as it made her feel too close to the machine she was built to behave like. Instead, Idris would equip herself with a blaster pistol, and start on her path to become an infamous bounty hunter.

Origin - Tuka:
Tuka, short for Tuka-Tuka is a large, amphibious alien. He wandered from a distant planet until he came to the small, impoverished Spul system. Tuka always had a fondness for explosives, and other loud armaments. The flashing lights and loud noises of the city drew the alien inward, and he was quickly lost within the labyrinth of alleyways. Eventually, Tuka stumbled across a diner, owned by Drekka. It was here that he would encounter she who was soon to become his most treasured friend.

Best Hunters, Bounty Friends?
Shortly after Tuka had wandered into Drekka's diner, Idris would enter also. Idris had come to look at the board of contracts located within, to pick her first job as a bounty hunter. All of the jobs however, appeared far too dangerous for her first time. Disheartened, Idris sat at the counter, and asked for some oil to drink. Drekka, the woman behind the counter, would refuse service to Idris, citing her as an 'empty-pocketed robot' to which Idris took offense. After this, Drekka would go on to complain about Tuka, who had done nothing apart from request glasses of water, and stare at the ceiling. Before Drekka could further her rant, she was contacted by a relative, informing her of her nephew's capture. Overwhelmed with grief, Drekka offered Tuka and Idris all the water and oil they could drink, if they would aid in rescuing her nephew. After a daring rescue, Drekka apologized to the duo for the way she had spoken to them. Grateful for their help, Drekka would begin passing more fitting contracts to the aspiring bounty hunters. Idris and Tuka would begin to forge a strong friendship as of their first mission together.

Underdogs.
After teaming up, Idris and Tuka would not find themselves so lost any more. The duo made for a dangerous combination, and they quickly became the most reknown bounty hunters in the city. When Drekka was offered a place for her diner aboard the bastion, she invited the two along with her. Idris and Tuka agreed, using the Bastion as transport between systems, so to make a name for themselves in the galactic theater. While the two found much success, they have yet to reach the coveted title of their dreams. Such a title is currently held firmly, by Talon.

Design and Development.
While Tuka's design has only been updated slightly until his most recent redesign, Idris has changed much since her inception. These changes were worked into Idris' story however, in that she would replace damaged limbs over time. She would also alter her hair and face, to appear more menacing.
