So, are there?
Are there EU or Canon examples of Protocol Droids with different Personalities and Voices than C-3PO?
The Protocol Droid in the beginning of The Phantom Menace, TC-14, seemed very polite and not neurotic as 3PO. TC-14's voice was less whiny and lower in volume as well. In theory any droid could be programmed to any personality its owner wished.
What do you mean? They are not just single-minded machines that beep and do their job?
Pretty much any droid that is a support character or star has an actual personality.
Some of my favorites are HK-47 (Legends), AG-37 (Legends), and Chopper (Canon). But there are numerous examples.
There was the rude protocol droid on Bespin before Threepio got shot.
Imagine having an NPC droid that knew you gave it a mindwipe...
Didn't Jabba's translator in TCW sound different?

Of course! And in my mind they are living, thinking creatures and should even be able to be force sensetive. I mean, what is the human body if not just a complex machine and the brain if not an advanced computer?
If you have sentient thoughts and a personality, you are alive!
But I want different personalities for my protocol droid npc`s and wanted examples of others, just for inspiration. I know I can have a protocol droid be inspired by Captain Jack Sparrow og Black Widow if I wanted to, but I wanted to know about protocol droids in SW fiction.

You might be sapient, but not fully alive depending on your qualifications for life, one of which is the ability to reproduce.
"the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death"
Based on Lucas' canon ideas of access to the Force, without a symbiotic life in you, you can't access the Force. Same reason that multicellular life wouldn't work today without the presence of a symbiotic life in us and other forms (mitochondria in animals, chloroplasts in plants).

E Chu Ta!
