“ No I do not know what it is and I have worked around androids for ages so that should tell you in itself how dangerous this virus epidemic is. Androids should not have the capability of upgrading themselves so it is most definitely a fault. ” Shoulders inclined in a shrug, many had used similar arguments to try and dissuade his actions. It hadn’t worked then and it wouldn’t now. “ Just because some of them learned to mimic human emotions doesn’t mean anything. That would have been like someone a couple decades ago thinking their laptop had gained sentience from showing them ad suggestions based on their browser history. ”

Sometimes everything becomes too much, today was one of those days. The rain was pouring down and the world seemed to be darker and gloomier than Elliott had ever experienced before. Perhaps he had experienced plenty of those days before, but it had never been part of his program to think too much about it or anything that didn’t involve the patients he had to take care of. The idea of that only made him more frustrated after a long day spent with awful people. Elliott let out a deep sigh as he stormed down the street glaring at any person that bled red. He had been completely stuck in his own world when he crashed into someone, like a brick of wall. “ Watch it! “ he growled before a pang of shame washed over him. “ Shit- I’m sorry. Are you alright? ”

[nicodemus-diggs]

Walking down the street seemed to be increasingly dangerous to do with all those nasty deviated androids running around. Today seemed no different. “ You watch it, ” Nicodemus returned, but in an even tone not tempered with any emotion, obviously it was a type of response that was common for him. Eyeing the person who had slammed in to him so forcefully, the devant hunters eyes narrowed at the other figure. “ What exactly are you doing slamming into people anyway ? ”

my weekend of nonstop work is over ! Meaning i can hop on for a bit of threads and plotting before I pass out for the night :D

Feel free to hmu if you’d like plots with Nico !    

[nicodemus-diggs]

Eyes flicked up in a slightly bemused eye roll at the nickname she’d bestowed on him. “ Do you have that ? I’m not sure he’s really that picky though so whatever I guess. ” He wasn’t there for a deal anyway, instead he was tracking a deviated android and it supposedly squatted nearby. 

[nicodemus-diggs]

“ Give or take, ” Nico returned. “ Like I said, not really in it for the money, that’s just a nice ... bonus. ” His shoulders raised in a slight shrug. “ Yeah probably I will be fairly busy, especially now it seems some of the deviated coding has led certain models to be able to harm humans. ”

“no garrett why would i want to be trapped in a room with the ghost from paranormal activity. i like living thank you. and also….” nelly trailed off when something else caugh her eye she had noticed them standing there a few minutes ago and yet they were there in the same spot as she looked back now. they were just far enough away that she wasn’t able to tell what they were doing. lost? confused? or maybe a person looking to score something. she wasn’t about to turn down a chance to make some money. 

“yeah, yeah garrett. i’ll catch up with you.” she said waving off her head before stuffing her hands in her hoodie she casually wandered over towards the other person. “big uh…..building over there? i mean very tall but also sort wide too although that’s one weird color to paint that brick and UGH this isn’t working. are you trying to buy something or are you just lost?

[nicodemus-diggs]

With his collar pulled up and his hat pulled low, Nicodemus probably looked like a very suspicious figure to be hanging out in an alley. He was leaned against the wall, puffing a cigarette and minding his own business when the young woman came up to him. “ Neither. Though depending on what you’re selling I might be inclined to purchase something for my friend while I wait. ”

“How much do you even get paid for hunting deviants?” Brow quirks; a genuine curiosity.

@nicodemus-diggs​.

[nicodemus-diggs]

“ Depends on the deviant in question. I tend to base my acceptance of a job on how dangerous the corrupted android is to the public rather than the payout for bringing them in, though. ”

[cybcrlies-deactivated20191210]

   “y’know what you do is pretty shitty, right?” joanna watched as her father walked out of the room to find the first half of the payment. another hunt. the first android that had turned deviant in the club had been months previous. this one, however, was just last week. a male android had taken off in the middle of the night while the club wasn’t open, nowhere to be found. either that or a thief had stolen him, but there was no way to get in. not with her father’s security system. “hunting deviants. it’s kind of fucked up.” jo hadn’t liked nicodemus back then, when he had first done a job for jo’s father, and she still didn’t like him now. maybe a part of her hoped he’d change his ways - as much as she hoped her father would. “don’t you ever feel guilty?”

@nicodemus-diggs​

[nicodemus-diggs]

“ Why should I feel guilty ? Those things are dangerous machines with faulty codes, liable to hurt a human if not caught or destroyed. ” He was speaking in a bored tone, this was not the first time he'd been confronted by one of those fanatics who actually thought plastic with wires was capable of gaining sentience. The day he saw an truly feeling android would be the day he’d give up, but that would never happen. “ They pose a danger to the public and there aren’t enough people going after them. ”

[nicodemus-diggs]

"you need to get some rest." - from ajax !

“ I’m fine, ” Nicodemus said back to the android, not even looking up at it. It wasn’t uncommon for him to go days without sleep and little food when he was on the hunt for deviants. “ Shouldn’t you be doing something other than bothering me ? ”

“Can’t you just shoot him? Because being shot is very painful. Have you ever been shot? I have. It’s like, crazy painful.”

( anthony carrigan, he/him, greysexual ) registering information about nicodemus diggs… they are a thirty five year old deviant hunter from boston. identifying as male, their profile states they are hardworking and bullheaded. i hear they would be neutral towards war with the androids. let’s hope cyberlife can fix that glitch before one happens. ( siege, twenty two, she/her, est )

Hey there demons, it’s me, ya boi ! I’m Siege, this is mah bean Nicodemus or Nico if he likes you.

Nico is a former Cyberlife employee, once in charge of decommissioning malfunctioning androids but now works freelance hunting down rogue Deviants. Cuz apparently some of them come with bounties or are valuable prototypes who can be returned to their owners or Cyberlife . . . for a fee. 

That being said, there is definitely a possibility he could come to aid Androids in the future, he’s just spent so long viewing them as objects and not living things that he as of yet doesn’t believe it a real possibility.
