#codeintro

okay so, i have a bio for him that you can read here but here are a few of the very basic thoughts I have for him & then i have some wanted connections

he grew up in kenmare, ireland & caused all sorts of hell by taking things apart at his family’s shop ( looking at that antique cash register that still doesn’t let you push the number 4 ) and fell in love with how technology could support those around him when his younger brother received a cochlear implant. 

after struggling through school ( and a rigorous application process ) he was placed on the waitlist for MIT, but finally gained acceptance at the end of summer just days before freshmen were due to arrive on campus. a hastily rushed visa, and borrowed money for the commitment deposit & he was off. 

in college, he met his bff diego and fell in love with robotics + made one too many jokes about opening up a bar where androids & humans could work together, called Technologic. 

after college, eoin struggled to find work that met his pay grade, he settled for part time jobs as an IT guy, call center operator, etc. as bills piled up and bitterness toward his classmates ( and best friend ) at their success grew. 

finally, diego came to him with a proposal to turn Technologic into a reality & after some coaxing, the bar was opened 

some possible connection ideas:

some former coworkers/people who knew him when he was struggling to make ends meet, maybe even someone who turned him down for a job ( instead hiring an android )

employees/people who frequent technologic & who he’s gotten close to ( android or human ) 

people who dislike technologic / think it’s dangerous to have androids & humans working together, OR someone who lost their job at technologic to an android :)) 

neighbors/friends from around the city 

a rival in the business or someone who would pose as a threat to the business from a financial rather than a social standpoint 

someone who maybe liked technologic as a concept before the most recent deviancy reports but now thinks it’s dangerous / on the nose given the socioeconomic nonsense

possibly someone he tried to be close to / went on a date with and it went horribly wrong bc he was absolutely not in the right place for that before his break with technologic

leslie   was   made   to   be   a   military   enforcer.   they   were   pretty   much   designed   to   be   an   unstoppable   force,   deployed   to   neutralize   but   not   kill   high   priority   humans   and   disable/destroy   dangerous   androids   in   the   field.

they   were   programmed   to   strictly   follow   asimov’s   three   laws   of   robotics;   a   robot   cannot   fatally   harm   humans,   a   robot   cannot   allow   itself   to   be   damaged,   a   robot   cannot   allow,   through   action   or   inaction,   humanity   to   be   compromised.

they   were   never   treated   as   an   equal,   but   as   a   weapon,   something   that   slowly   wore   down   at   their   indifference.

slowly,   they   became   less   efficient,   as   their   binding   to   the   three   laws   began   to   loosen.   they   began   to   use   more   force   on   humans,   left   androids   alive   and   came   away   from   missions   with   minor   injuries.

the   military   took   notice,   and   began   noting   their   behaviour   changes,   reporting   to   cyberlife   to   make   a   more   efficient   version   of   leslie   without   all   of   their   mistakes.

finally,   caught   off-guard   in   a   mission,   leslie   took   a   bullet   through   the   side   of   their   neck,   partially   severing   their   hearing   and   damaging   their   vocal   capabilities.

their   hearing   was   completely   gone   unless   they   pressed   on   the   wound,   reconnecting   the   exposed   wires.

too   expensive   and   finicky   to   fix,   leslie   was   scheduled   for   decommission   and   deactivation.   their   deviancy   in   full   swing,   they   escaped   the   military   base   before   they   were   sent   back   to   cyberlife.

their   opinions   on   humans   remain   largely   indifferent.   they   may   have   ordered   leslie   to   kill   their   own   kind,   but   leslie   understood   the   reasoning   and   the   necessity.   it   doesn’t   lessen   the   blow   that   the   very   humans   they   worked   with   had   immediately   turned   on   them   the   minute   they   stopped   performing   optimally.   

they   seek   mainly   to   house   and   protect   deviants   from   decommission   and   prove   that   they   are   worth   while   to   humans,   but   there   is   a   volatile   streak   that   craves   revenge   on   behalf   of   the   stories   they   have   heard   from   other   androids.   abuse,   violence,   experimentation,   blue   blood   spilt   for   entertainment.   they   keep   that   deeply   hidden.

they   communicate   with   other   androids   via   the   mental   telepathic-y   link,   and   with   humans   they   can   speak,   but   their   voice   is   a   dead   give   away   that   they   are   an   android.   when   they   can,   they   use   sign   language.   

they   usually   wear   turtlenecks   to   cover   up   the   damage   to   the   left   side   of   their   neck,   even   around   people   they   are   comfortable   with.

you   can   find   them   all   over   the   city   because   they’re   always   looking   to   steal   away   androids   for   the   cause   and   the   family.   androids   will   eat   the   rich   and   theres   nothing   u   can   do   to   convince   leslie   otherwise

UHMMMMMMM   connections??   wise???

someone   in   jericho   who   is   working   with   them   to   fix   some   of   their   damage.   reconnect   wires.   it’s   a   hard   project   bc   leslie   doesn’t   relax   easily   enough   to   let   someone   touch   them   so   they’d   have   to   be   proper   cohorts   (can   be   human?)

someone   that   leslie   is   coaxing…   slowly…   into   deviancy/joining   jericho

humans??   people   who   worked   with   leslie   in   the   military/people   he   got   arrested/detained   lol

enemies???

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. 

so hi there, i’m daisy and this is my first kid, sid reiss. i’ll drop some fun facts about her here, but if you’ve got any questions i’m always around to answer them. i’ll also eventually probably start making my own gif icons for her, but for now i just can’t be bothered.

- pinterest can be found here.

- comes from a stupidly wealthy family - they’ve been in the tech industry for decades, sold out to cyberlife but still manage their own company with relative freedom. they work in VI ( think siri/alexa/cortana but More™ ) and stay far away from any sort of ai/android type territory. 

- parents never married, sid spent most of her childhood summers in new york with her father, which is where she developed her love for all things artistic.

⫸ - has two half siblings on her father’s side - one younger and one older. she never met the older one, though they exchange holiday cards. 

- the younger sibling is NELLY KING. sid absolutely adores her, spent the summers with her considering nel lives with their dad. is always willing to drop whatever she’s doing when nel needs her - doesn’t judge her life choices, just as long as she’s careful and stays safe.

- mother wants her to step up and get back in with the company, sid clearly has no interest in spite of having a knack for it. she’d personally rather program things for her own use. at least some part of the reason she won’t fall in line is the tie to cyberlife.

- mother tried forcing her hand by cutting her off from family funds, but as sid was already doing rather well as an artist it only succeeded in creating a larger rift between the two.

⫸ - has two androids - a model for her art and a bodyguard. both are older models given to her by her mother when she was a teen, back before their relationship completely fell apart. there were originally three, however one was damaged beyond repair in an incident about a year ago that sid rarely talks about. 

- has been living in nyc for the last seven years, is definitely open to having made all sorts of connections since she’s been here.

- is a pretty well known artist. loves painting, is more likely to sell her paintings than any of her other art. also works with a program she wrote/altered herself to create holographic/virtual 3D art - she’s been known to display these pieces, but rarely sells them as she would have to set up a device capable of displaying it ( which is both Not Cheap™ and makes her skin crawl bc she doesn’t like strangers enough to give out her programs ).

- used to spend a lot of time making people’s lives ( mostly her mom’s, tbh ) difficult via hacking. she’s pretty talented, mostly because she’s been practicing since she as a kid stuck at her mom’s office after school. will still poke around in things she shouldn’t from time to time, but not terribly often.

- she still works with minor programming stuff, apps and the like mostly, but typically for herself or her friends/family. used to to bigger stuff but like.... she hated it? or at least the environment she was doing it in. currently has a VI wired through her apartment that only responds to her voice commands, sort of like siri/alexa/the thing her mom’s company makes except it’s fully personalized.

i’m almost positive i left some things out, but like i said i’m always open to questions. my dis.cord ( daisychain#5830 ) is usually the best way to reach me, but ims are always open!

Royal is an android that was meant to be a model. They are very fond of dressing up and trying on new things, though that is just part of their programming, right ? Royal has never used a cross word in their life, never done anything against the wishes of their owner, never shown any signs of deviance. 

｡･*･ﾟ☆ &&. RANDOM LIFE FACTS IN SORTA SPECIFIC ORDER —

minnie belongs to nadia amiya, has been for the past 7-8 years. keep the house clean, tend the dishes, don’t snoop around, she was given the most basic orders. she made breakfast, lunch and dinner and left her owner after finishing the task, a repetitive cycle that kept on for a good while. until her daily routine switched up for now and then keeping her owner company, share conversations that could mean nothing and anything at once.

nothingness that turned into actually something, each and every detail became everything to the android. she remembered it all, even up until this day. no matter how many times she’s been upgraded (illegally) by her owner to be more than just a housekeeper. 

besides her standard job, she’s also a petsitter & secretary now. her convos with nadia have increased ever since her upgrades and she lives for it, quite literally even.

the android never experienced a glitch, apart from the possible ones by the updating nadia did to her, she’s nowhere near becoming a deviant. 

minnie cannot live without an owner, it means losing control and if there’s one thing she can’t handle, is, funnily enough... not being controlled. 

Shoutout to @sidrareiss​ since she’s his owner and was designed to be her body guard years ago. So obviously, he’s very protective of her, having developed a protective nature.

Throughout the years, sid has updated his programming so he is quite up to date. She has also modified his coding to give room for him to develop his own personality.

Sid also made him to where he doesn’t have to take harassment from anti androids. This led to his deviance where he was defending himself from an ongoing attack. He’s also temperamental, discovered in that moment unless he’s watching out for Sid then he’s able to keep composure. 

He’s extremely loyal to Sid and more than likely won’t leave her during the war outbreak. He chooses to stick with her knowing he has a good owner, unlike approximately 70% of androids.

Unlike most deviants, he’s not really caring if they know he’s deviant. He’s still serving his purpose with pride and that’s all that matters.

He’s adventurous! He likes to try new things all the time, however, if Sid says no, he won’t do it. So he’s pretty obedient to her despite his deviancy.

( tom holland, he/him, pansexual ) is that a RK700 model? they were built 5 years ago to be a detective, right? wow, they really look twenty-five. i hear they go by charlie and are considered male. if deviant, this android would be known for their altruistic and sarcastic behavior. they would be against war with the humans. 

filling nelly’s wanted connection *

i’m going to post his timeline up until the present here, but please go here to read his full bio !

2033 — creation. RK700, serial no. 917 006 001 is the first of its kind. the project is tentative, perhaps at first, but certainly hopeful. with cases of deviancy beginning to crop up, cyberlife chose to be proactive in working on a line of androids that would be able to seek out and detect deviancy in other models. thus, the RK700 prototype project is born. worry is writ in the engineer’s faces when chief engineer diego moreno brings his cat into work, and no. 917 006 001 sits to pet the animal for a full hour. the behavior is abnormal, but not quite panic inducing. it is written in the notes.

2034a — first substantial sign of deviancy and subsequent abandonment. by late january, no. 917 006 001’s abnormal behavior has continued to progress and can no longer be ignored. he is sent to be deactivated and disassembled. unable to be properly deactivated, the engineer chooses to push on with disassembly, causing no. 917 006 001 to nearly break the assembly machine out of fear of dismemberment. it is wrestled, restrained, and forcefully manually deactivated. cyberlife chooses to send it to the scrap yard wholesale and begin their work on a second of its model ; altering its physical appearance, now that they’ve a second chance to re-examine what physical traits might best suit the RK700’s intended purpose ; making it taller, older, but keeping its eyes soft, almost kind. if it was to work with humans, they thought, it had to be approachable. they opt for green the second time around, feeling the brown was too warm.

2034b — no. 917 006 001 is sent to the scrapyard, but is salvaged by android pickers to be assessed for minor damage, rebooted and sold on the black market. the year passes in a snapshots during the rare occasion that he is awake for testing. additional modules that were not a part of his original programming are installed, should a new owner find use for them. the engineer tasked with him grows increasingly frustrated by the obstacle such advanced coding presents. his original memory is wiped clean, and then wiped again each time the engineer loses their temper. after one particularly nasty tantrum, he wakes up to find he has one new eye, startlingly blue.

2035 — no. 917 006 001 is officially reactivated to be sold on the black market. no one takes interest.

2036 – 2037 — still no interest, the engineer enlists no. 917 006 001’s help with simple tasks around the robotics lab, giving him the nickname “charlie.” he continues to display charlie for sale on the weekends, working every angle imaginable. by the end of the third year on the market, he seems like an investment wasted.

2038 — a young woman catches his eye across the street. when she’s told charlie is about two weeks shy of being “tossed back in the trash,” she scrounges up the money to buy him herself. deviancy is on the rise and can no longer be hidden from the public or ignored. (present, age 5)
