  • Character: YoRHa Unit Attacker, Type 2. She goes by the moniker "A2."
    Canon: NieR: Automata
    Canon Point: Post The End of YoRHa

    Crime: Infanticide
    Background: Once upon a time, a bunch of depressed nihilistic robots created a whole mythology about their human creators, and then began a war on Earth, one that never ended. A2 is created at the tail end of this endless, grueling cycle of neverending death and despair. She was once a bright-eyed and optimistic Captain of an elite strike squad which had a single mission that, unbeknownst to them, they were never meant to live through. Thanks to her friends, A2 lived bitch! And she's been absolutely crushed by survivor's guilt and despair ever since, the last of her line and the only one of her kind who knows that their mission to protect their beloved humanity is one big cosmic farce that's at the expense of them and their enemies both. By postcanon, A2 is the one who is able to break this cycle of pointless sacrifice by sacrificing herself. To what end? Well, that's up in the air. A future is not given to you, after all. It is something you must take for yourself.
    Abilities: A2 is a little murder ballerina. I've gone through this song and dance before so I'll make it quick:
    She's strong as hell. She doesn't look it at all, but she can easily tank through the most brutal combat and comes out of it still swinging. Her ability to power through damage is due to the high tech nanomachines that heal her body and just her own sheer tenacity. In addition, she is incredibly fast, elegant and graceful, a master swordswoman, and as a creation designed to kill, is both adept and creative in her methods of doing so.

    A2 doesn't need to eat (though she is able to), can survive perhaps forever as long as she's in an environment with sunlight and water available, doesn't need to breathe, and rarely needs to sleep. She doesn't age. The black box in her chest is a mini nuclear fusion reactor, which she can use to self-destruct and cause a large scale explosion, which is what she did last month.

    In addition, she has her Tactical Support Pod who is responsible for navigation, tossing her places she could otherwise not reach, and long-range ballistic support.

    Plans: A2 has been through a lot this past few months, so I'd like this month to be a little less emotionally fraught for her. Some things of note:
  • She's going to begin to collect items for a new heat sink. Her frilly ballerina outfit is long gone and she's constantly overheating if she exerts herself, which is always because she's bad at taking care of herself
  • A2 feels intensely guilty about blowing up a ton of shit and will be helping with cleanup frequently.
  • Finally she will begin showing a passing interest in wearing clothing. My god
  • It's her rollout day May 20th! She doesn't give a fuck about this and wishes it had never happened. But Pod does, so A2birthday? Perhaps? 👀
  • She'll be helping Minato and Ryoji out with the festival, and also she's never experienced a festival so that's a whole thing.
  • As they have recently appeared, A2 will begin searching for Lunar Tears this month.
  • I'm signing her up for sentencing so stay tuned for that 📺
  • A2 doesn't want to do crimes AT ALL at the moment, though she may be tempted by the knowledge the snakes are promising. It'll depend on her sentencing, however.
  • She's trying to be more zen but she's going to hate the Parrot Grass sfm and will be blowing her top over it at some point
  • Apparently Ellie pissed off some snakepeople and she's in her CR circle! Is nothing easy

  • How can you run into my character? As a member of the Defense Squad, A2 patrols through Aldrip and the Forest on a regular basis. She does have a schedule but only she really knows it, so being jumpscared by her suddenly popping up somewhere in the middle of the night with her freaky glowing robot eyes is likely a common occurrence. She is a voracious reader so she enjoys the Library and has recently taken to running stupid little sidequests errands for the "natives" in order to curry favor and get more supplies for the Clinic, primarily. She can be seen at the Dojo and the Farm semi-regularly, and never sleeps so you can find her at odd hours. Sometimes she'll be seen walking with Minato's magic(?) dog, Koromaru, who she communicates with like he's people.
