14G/luna was actually a weirdo and a nerd who just enjoyed earth a lot while no.4 was trying to keep her focus on their missions lol

I am very interested in these ocs

*cracks knuckles*

OKAY!

(you have opened Pandora's box >:D )

So a quick background on this fandom so I'm not just spouting incomprehensible gibberish. Nier Automata is a game where humanity has been driven off the planet and into lunar colonies by invading aliens, who used machine lifeforms as their weapons. Humans responded by creating androids to fight against the machines. The androids and machines have been in a stalemate for centuries.

I have 2 OCs, Izzy and Vira. They're both androids. Izzy is a nickname for 11S, a scanner type model. Scanners specialize in recon and data gathering. She is overly curious, which is a known quirk of all scanners. For her, it comes up as she keeps picking up viruses from when she's hacking/scanning machines.

Vira, I don't have a model number for. But she's stationed on the Bunker, the orbiting space station that's this android group's base of operations. She works in hacking, debugging, and repairs. Basically she's an android doctor. She got the nickname because she's very good at dealing with viruses. Which she got because she works a lot with Izzy, who keeps picking up the damn logic viruses from the enemy, Izzy, you gotta be more careful!

If I go too far into the storyline it'll give spoilers for the actual game, but I'll give the setup for where I basically intend to start their story. Izzy picks up a virus and doesn't contain it well enough. She gets detained and wiped. Factory reset. This is sad, but it happens (pretty frequently, actually. The game is very philosophical about what it means to be who we are and how our memories affect our concept of 'self', which is a fascinating concept to play around with when you've got androids who literally upload and download their memory data).

Except Izzy has gone and done this enough times that the higher-ups decided to tinker with her settings on this reset. So the next time Vira sees model 11S, she's viscerally off-put because that's not Izzy. That's not her friend. This isn't right.

So Vira gets hit hard by the denial stage of grief. By which I mean she finds the data that wasn't uploaded to the server from Izzy's memory (because it's virus infested) and basically.... downloads it into herself. In a quarantined section, of course! She's not self-terminating! And then, because she's now on borrowed time until she gets found out and she gets wiped, she runs. She manages to get herself and Izzy's data down to Earth and starts hiding out among the other androids on the surface that aren't directly affiliated with the group she's from. Now she just has to do enough debugging to get Izzy's data decontaminated, and she can bring her friend back.
