Hello everyone and welcome to this new RP I've been planning! Recently I've been playing a lot of Nier Automata, and found myself inspired to create a RP with the players as Androids fighting the machines. So without further ado my normal rules:

1. Respect GM decisions, and player decisions if approved by the GM.
2. Don't power-game
3. Only YoRHa Androids will be allowed, and no O types
4. If you find a mistake made, feel free to politely bring it up
5. For the sake of keeping this simple to GM for, only 6 total player slots
6. Extra Character Submissions can be made, but will go on a waiting list (Note: Some IC events may make another team show up, in which case they draw from the waiting list)
7. Rules may be subject to change in the future, I'll let you all know if they are
8. Have fun, it's why I run RPs



Reserve list:
1. @Omida
2. @UbeOne
3. @Kero-Null
4. @SeismicGuide
5. @Ryven Razgriz
6. @sg-epk.jtk93.x29

Preferred name: Sparky

91B - UbeOne
SI Name: Rae
Unit designation: 91B
Preferred name: Pi
Height: 5'3.14"
Appearance:
Personality: I'm usually quiet and introverted, but can get excitable (whether subdued or not) regarding things I like. I prefer avoiding arguments, unless they are relevant to me. When sufficiently provoked, I can have quite the temper and vindictiveness. I like visualizing things, imagining nice situations, and at times, I want to lose myself in them. I am also interested in tech, especially cars, airplanes, tanks, warships and such. Oh, and I like taking afternoon naps too, as well as playing video games, browsing the Internet, and going on the forums. Something I dislike is being interrupted, which can be annoying. I'm also more straightforward than eccentric, more realistic than fantastical. A thing I found here about myself was that there was a rush, a thrill to fighting, to combat, to the clash of blades and the triumph over foes, and to be honest, I actually enjoyed it, offsetting how upset I got when fellow androids did not make it. So I productively channeled my pleasure into my assigned missions, into protecting my allies and diving into the fray.

Likes: Cars, planes, traveling, food, weapons, video games, cuteness, collecting loot, combat
Dislikes: Misery, early death, politics, bullying, "kicking the cat", bigotry, being misgendered, seeing comrades die

Weapons:
- Flight Unit (Flying transport and combat mech in one transformable package)
- 2 x Virtuous Contract (A pair of nice white katanas that are swifter than usual. They're held on hand)
- 2 x Virtuous Treaty (A pair of nice white odachis that are swifter than usual. They're held by my NFCS)
- A looted Machine Sword and Machine Axe, kept on my person as spares.

Pod designation: 314
Pod program/weapon: A120 (Repair)/Missiles (I'm busy with swordplay, so I rely on the ease of aim of the missiles. Since I jump into the fray, the Repair program helps me live through it)

Misc:
- In my time as an android (technically a gynoid) so far, I took to collecting worthy weapons from fallen enemies, as well as the occasional fallen ally, the former as trophies, and the latter in memory of them. I have little loot at this time, but I do keep them at home.
- My liking for combat inspired me to wield four swords instead of just two, to be able to strike more often, and hit more enemies in the process. It also let me pull off my best General Grievous impression, and made it easier to wade through hostile crowds.

27G - Ryven Razgriz
Name (if SI)Ruiven
Unit Designation27G
Personal NameSeven, Sven, Seventh
Personality

27G is known to sit in a single place for hours on end just to wait for the perfect time to unleash a devastating alpha-strike on an unsuspecting enemy. This, in turn, made 27G into a very patient android with somewhat of an easygoing attitude bordering lackadaisical or laziness which, often, gets 27G in trouble with allied command whenever 27G is deployed as a Quick Reactionary Force.
Bio

A veteran of multiple machine wars, no one knows since when was 27G active, only that the veteran has been here and there for a long time. The ones suspected of knowing just how long 27G has been active were Commander White, A2, A75, The Twins, Jackass and maybe even the Resistance Commander Anemone.
LikesOld World Media

DislikesGetting into arguments.

Weapon(s)Man-portable Heavy Railgun

Mossberg 500
M1911
Pod Info:

A Pod Unit that is equally as long-lived as its partner. 139 was a model of Pod units from early Machine Wars and has been 27G's partner all throughout. As 139 is an older Pod model, it is incapable of using the main method of Pod Unit Networking that the vast majority of Pod units nowadays use, this does not mean that 139 is incapable of Networking, 139 can connect into the Network via wireless as long as the Pod Units are in close proximity to each other. Very much unlike the modern Pod Units which are connected into the Network 24/7 via satellite links.

A75 - Omida
Unit designation: A75
Preferred name: Argent
Appearance:
"My, oh my, I hope you don't mind if this old girl shows you youngsters up a little~."
Personality: A quiet, seasoned veteran who likes spending time with the newer models, officially to make sure their training is up to standard, unofficially to keep ahead of the curve. Argent, as she likes to be called, drifts through life without worry, content to spend her days altering between disassembling Machine Lifeforms and enjoying life or building things. Not much of a conversationalist, her presence is rather calming.

Bio: No one acquired conclusive evidence as to when A75 was first brought online, but what is known is her extensive track record stretching to well before the 14th Machine War, with some rumours, especially among androids of the Resistance placing her to be alive as far as the 8th Machine War. A75 herself seems to care little about clarifying, even if she finds teasing others about her theoretical age to be quite fun. While in that period she did not distinguish herself much with any outstanding feats, she was brought to attention as one of few survivors of Pearl Harbor Descent which kicked off the current conflict.

Likes:
  • Fishing
  • Training with other androids
  • Collecting pictures of clouds
  • Making things from the robots she trashed
Dislikes:
  • Music
  • B Mode
  • Sand
  • Having to report for maintenance
Weapons: Faith; a Flight Unit
Pod designation: 69
Pod program/weapon (ex. R010/missiles, Gatling...): A110(Slow)/Gatling
 
A50 - sg-epk.jtk93.x29
Name (if SI): hikki

Unit designation (ex. 2B, 9S...): A50

Preferred name: Introduces himself as Hikki, though he doesn't really mind being called anything else

Appearance: 5'7 in height, A50 has the physique of a muscular male adult. He shares his fellow unit's white hair, but ties it backwards in a bun. Generally prefers comfort over class, he wears a black turtleneck sweater and black pants and boots.
People describe him as lazy-looking, with calm eyes and a little more filled cheeks than your regular unit.
He has a mole under his lip, on his left cheek.

Personality: Carefree and friendly, he likes joking around with others, but does care for those he gets close to. He generally doesn't care much for his position, and so he talks with newer models as he would talk to anyone, which may make him seen unreliable at times.

Bio(their history): One of the oldest models active to date, He's been through a lot of stuff. His personality says otherwise: None of that apparent experience shows in him. Records show that he's been active for longer than 120 years, but he himself doesn't seem to particularly want to talk about his life.
He says it's not anything particularly important, or different, for that matter. Just another guy that fought like crazy, only difference is he's still alive.

Likes: relaxing, lazying about, joking around

Dislikes: Sparring with A75

Weapon(s): Virtuous Treaty, Cruel Oath

Pod Designation: 40

Pod Weapon:Homing missiles

Pod Program: Slow

6B - Rei of Sunshine (waiting list)
Unit designation: 6B

Preferred name: Raison

Appearance:



Personality:
Bitter and weary, 6B is desperate to find some sort of meaning to her existence outside the never-ending war with the machines and has taken to observing Earth's fauna and flora in the hopes of somehow discovering it. In combat, she foregoes the typical grace and fineness of swordplay in favour of overwhelming brute force, wanting to end the ordeal as quickly as possible.

Bio(their history):
Among the first of the B-Type Units to be deployed, 6B is quite old by android standards. As the war stretched on through the centuries and after participating in countless battles, she eventually lost her lustre for combat and saw it as nothing more than a mere chore. For no matter how often the enemy was engaged with, or how many times territory was won, lost, and then reclaimed, or how many units were to die, there was no change and victory seemed just as distant as it did in the beginning.

Likes:

Dislikes:

Weapon(s):
Type-3 Fists
Type-3 Blade

Pod Designation: 375

7S - Atma Warrior (waiting list)
Cool Time for Another Scanner Model

Name (if SI): Sol

Unit designation (ex. 2B, 9S...): Number 7 Model Type Scanner - 7S

Preferred name: Seth


Original YorHa uniform is lost, he currently wears a conglomerate of resistance gear

Personality: Quiet and a bit (especially in the face of his superiors) but ultimately a friendly person. He works towards the success of Yorha and tries to do everything from near herculean tasks to the most menial things to ensure that the more combat focused androids have the protection and supplies to keep fighting. He does have a habit on eavesdropping but its mostly his model type quirk. This mentality remains when in combat as 7S goes out of his way to destroy his opponents as quickly as possible.

Bio: An older scanner model that has remained planetside in order to ensure a consistent a proper flow of information for both the Resistance and Yorha command. 7S has mostly remained in the desert region of the main theatre of the war and has acted as a secondary go between YorHa troops and the resistance. Recently he has begun to distance himself from most androids and delved further into researching an ancient human civilization in the desert.

[/SPOILER

Weapon(s):
Engine Blade - A blade that seems to caused Machine Lifeforms to be stunned much faster than normal and adds a cool dodge effect!
Cruel Arrogance - A spear that attacks faster than most and .... The spear of a well meaning father.
Pod Designation: Pod 035
Pod Weapon: Gatling
Pod Program: A140 Gravity

@CCBubba Hope you like it, Will you the spoiler section I have under dislikes. If not, tell me and I'll delete it.
 
Oh, this looks rad.

Will you accept out-dated / early units from the stage plays like Attackers / Gunners?
 
A13 - Sushi


Unit Designation: YoRHa Gunner No. 13 / YoRHa Attacker No. 13

Preferred Name:
"A-One-Three"
Appearance:
YoRHa Attacker 13 is an android of standard (168 cm) size and build. She has a preference for the traditional YoRHa uniform and typically makes use of older Gunner-type equipment, including armored vests and ammunition pouches. Her tactical visor is of symmetrical cut, with a slight, arrow-shaped taper toward the centerline.
Disposition:
YoRHa Attacker 13 has a standard personality seed, created from the implanted memories of an old soldier. In after-action-reports, she has described the constant urge to return to battle, something akin to a "longing" in her own words. Although of few words and stubborn to a fault, A13 has never hesitated to participate in patrols or operations on Earth. She has been noted as being an effective component of a team and dislikes working alone.

>Annendum: After A13's request for Attacker-model conversion, supervisor units have noted an apparent dislike or distrust of Tactical Support Units ("Pods"). This bears further research. For the time being, A13 remains on active duty for the forseeable future.

yorha unit a13
History:
"My name is A13."

"A newly converted Attacker model."

"Rolled out at 2:31 AM, Bunker time."

"I am renewing my vow: I will fight for humanity with all my strength."


_____> I wasn't always an Attacker model. Back then, before we had high-performance Scanners and Battle androids, there were Attackers, Defenders, Cancellers... they needed many androids to fight the many kinds of machine lifeforms. They had Gunners, like me. At the time, they thought YoRHa armed with ballistic weapons could do as well against the machines as a blade or a missile. Older models like us had their glitches to work out. We had to work in teams. For a long time, us YoRHa infantry stayed in tight-knit squads, fighting an endless number of machines. Back then, I would turn off my pain receptors after firing weapons for hours at a time. Meanwhile, the Attackers would slice the machines to ribbons, and us, the rear-line, we would laugh with glee and excitement, even if we weren't doing most of the damage.

_____> It's awful to think about it now, but we never thought about it that way. The fighting was all we really had. The pain of day-to-day existence filled the empty expanses of the battered Earth. When we were YoRHa androids, we were strong enough to bear our grief, our frustration, together. Without androids like 16, I would have never made it. She seemed to know every hiding place, every trick. Every spot upon the planet had been fought-over before, and I came to realize that every drop, every attack was a simple repeat of what YoRHa had tried before.

_____> How long could it last? How long could I last? I thought with my friends by my side, it wouldn't matter.

_____> Until one day, they broke up the squads. They divided us up for classified tasks, and forbade us to speak about them. That was the last time I saw Gunner 16. My friend. I felt numb. There wasn't even time to grieve it, though, not when the tempo of operations on Earth continued to pick up. They said we had finally made a dent in the machine lifeforms, and that the next drop would really make the difference.

_____> And for the first time, I wasn't so sure. I saw fewer and fewer of us. They said it was because Gunners, Defenders, we were too vulnerable operating alone. So they replaced us with the Tactical Support Units. The Pods. They were too simple to be called comrades. They weren't androids, they weren't smart enough to be. More than anything, they reminded me of the machine lifeforms we were fighting. They were simple. They did their jobs well. Command insisted we used them, as if it could replace the friends we had lost along the way.

_____> I guess that's when I gave up on the old way. That's when I asked the Commander to reassign me to an Attacker-type body, praying in some quiet way that I wouldn't fall in battle like my friend.​
