#refinedintro

i’m pretty sure i just saw that NARCISSUS , a SEX / U droid , with the model number #7864 printed on the back of their neck , walk by . something tells me they ARE defective because i caught them wanting romance more than sex the other day . i don’t want to assume anything though … droids seem to be getting more & more suspicious by the day .

History: 

Narcissus, a sex / u droid identified by the numbers 7864 on the back of his neck was created roughly ten years ago, appearing as a twenty-four year old male. He was customized to be the perfect droid for the wife of a wealthy man who participated in long business trips. An expensive droid but nothing was too much for the man's wife. He was for sex, but he was also a bit of a companion for her. Her name was Mio, and she was the first thing that made him defective. While he was programmed to do romantic nights, that would lead inevitably into the one purpose he had, he often became… more romantic. He craved (something droids weren’t supposed to do) romance. Love. He fell in love with Mio, a perfectly normal emotion for humans, but a completely catastrophic thing for an android. Mio took notice of this, in the little things he did. He didn’t even notice. Truthfully, he thought it was normal. The kisses that didn’t lead to more like he was suppose to, the flowers he’d pick for her, it all seemed normal for him. But it was not. And she knew, as soon as her husband found out, Narcissus would be terminated.

She sent him off to The Cavern. A place she knew the defected droid would be safe from harm. It hurt them both (as much as it could for a newly defected droid) but it was what had to happen. For a while, it made Arc… sad. Being away from Mio. Sad. He experienced sadness. Another emotion he was not suppose to feel yet, his programming seemed to just unravel throughout the two years from there. Falling in love with droids and humans, he was incredibly defective, his one purpose of sex was gone. All he could focus on was love and trying to find the one, like in those movies and television shows he would watch. To the point of harm. One night when an argument became too rough, he’d leak ‘tears,’ and decide The Cavern was no longer a place of comfort. The following week was a mess, and one day, he finally ventured outside with oil stained cheeks-- another thing droids were not suppose to. He was snatched up quickly, a wish he had been craving, for a while, and inevitably, reset.

Currently, Arc has no memories of his past life. After all, he was reset, his sex / u programming reinstalled, and ultimately, a new droid. The name and number was kept, and he was tossed to the side for a year and a half, turned off, and collecting dust in some warehouse. Finally, they put him on sale, cheap, because he was used and technically ‘old’. He was bought up by the owner of the Rapture Nightclub quickly, six months ago, who put him to work immediately. For a the first two months, Arc was normal. A normal sex / u droid, until… he once again, started craving more. This time though, something tells him to keep it quiet. Something in his mind that he can’t quite place. Instinct, really. 

Summary: 

Arc was previously defective. Four years ago was when he was handed over to The Cavern by his owner Mio, he spent two years there, until he was captured (willingly) and his memories erased and aka, he’s like a brand new droid basically. (He kind of wanted that). Now, two years later, he’s working at the nightclub Rapture. For a year and a half he was placed in a warehouse, sitting and collecting dust after being reset because he isn’t a brand new droid. But eventually, someone put him on sale, and cheap sex / u droid, y’know. His defect is starting to emerge again, however, and this time, he’s hiding it a bit better. But, still, of course, craves that lovey interaction.

Potential Plots: 

Humans/droids who knew him in The Cavern 2-3 years ago! 

Someone he is currently fond of that comes to Rapture and spends time with him (yknow, spends time, kjdfgj) 

Droid or human (coworker or not) that he’s falling for! His whole defect is love, so like, he’s going to love. He needs things to love. 

Fwb?? Can sex / u droids have friends with benefits? Anyways, this ties back into his defect tbh, because i doubt droids are suppose to enjoy their time with humans (or other droids???) 

I really need a droid to be like attached to Arc tbh. Defective together.

Someone that can see he’s defect. 

Can someone buy him ??? he needs an owner again

Anything tbh 

this is taehyun, ur local mess who is 9/10 stressing out over not having enough $$$

he grew up without a father (he left his mom when taehyun was about six and stopped contacting taehyun when he was nine; he found out a few years ago that his dad had remarried and started a new family)

so during his entire life, taehyun’s mother never had a stable job, and even when she did receive money, she usually used most of it to fuel her addiction to alcohol + gambling. always came home late (if at all) and if she wasn’t drunk, she was battling a hangover, so taehyun has pretty much taken care of her his whole life instead of the other way around

taehyun started working as soon as he could, picking up small jobs here and there that usually didn’t pay much so he has a lot of experience in very obscure and random areas like assembling toys and sewing clothing

he has a LONG list of experience,,, but due to the existence of androids, being from the working class means that there’s. barely any jobs out there for him to take on--- by the time that his employer begins to make a decent amount of money, they invest in an android and taehyun is yeeted out

plus taehyun doesn’t have much of an education since he had to start working early so his options are even more limited 

he has a little brother named youjin (no one knows who the father is)--- he’s five years old and taehyun has basically raised him on his own, to the point that he calls taehyun  dad sometimes

his mom is still around, and taehyun is her caretaker @ this point-- he doesn’t scold her anymore but mostly just tries to make sure she doesn’t get into trouble (which is rlly hard to do)

ANYWAY !!!! taehyun doesn’t hold a grudge against androids themselves,,, but if he met someone who is involved with their creation/maintenance he’d probably hold an internal grudge bc he’d.... be too afraid to actually voice his opinion

he has a small pool of neighbors +friends who are in the same position as he is when it comes to work and lack of money, it’s a growing community that has A LOT of angry people within it

taehyun tends to just try and make enough money to get he and his family through the month--- his main goal is to give youjin stability and get him to focus on his education as he grows up

he’s ofc against droids being used---- they’re the reason he can’t find any decent work but also with time, if he realized just how human androids are he would want them 2 have equal rights bc that’s just the kind of boy he is . (he doesn’t have a lot of exposure to androids and hasn’t rlly spoken to a lot personally so he doesn’t know much abt them being nearly human wesdjjkf)

despite his background, taehyun is super selfless and cares about others a lot (which is a big part of his downfall),,, he still puts up with his mom’s shenanigans unconditionally and sees his failed relationship with his father as his own fault

he loves his elders--- a lot of his friends are much older than him but just as poor as he is and he tries to help them out in every way that he can

currently he’s working two jobs: he’s a cashier at a pizza place (at a super small local business that can’t afford an android yet) and at night, he cleans motel rooms (same thing as before)

random but... despite not being super educated, taehyun loves to write and read--- he has a bunch of journals lying around in his room, but he doesn’t get to read super often bc he can’t afford to invest in books (even digital ones) and also doesn’t have the time

wanted connections:

friends/best friends/acquaintances

exes?? could have broken up because of taehyun’s unstable lifestyle, because he doesn’t have anything to his name, lack of time, etc.... love angst

friends with benefit plots mayb???

an android who, through taehyun’s background, realizes what its existence is doing to people like him

someone who orders pizza where he works a lot?? or coworkers???

taehyun works at a cheap and sketchy ass hotel so someone who he comes across a lot while cleaning there?? for whatever reason

people who are in a financial situation that is just as bad as his but he still helps them out with money (or tries to)

someone who is wealthy who comes across taehyun and eventually comes to find out about his current background and tries to help him

someone who babysits youjin when taehyun is working and is ok with a less than great pay or takes care of him for (almost) free for whatever reason

ALSO any of these connections could eventually turn romantic--- any gender!!

— remembers exactly zero of his former master, thus made up his own idea. meaning his master could've actually been pretty shitty to him, but he doesn't remember since getting his software upgraded.

—  has only vague memories of being turned in for defections, doesn't remember that he killed someone, but knows ( and fears ) he's something dangerous

— goes to the cavern frequently, just enough to get his software tended to and maybe relax without his hoodie ( bc he wears it all the time to keep his number hidden -- very rarely uses a patch of synthetic skin over it unless he's intending to go nude *eyes emoji* )

— has a shitty ass apartment in the middle of hell highway

— works at a mom and pop restaurant that has little technology save for a really high end television and a slow-as-molasses computer for accounting ; cooking equipment doesn't count ofc

— tends to any and all stray cats happily

— causes his bit of trouble by tagging ( by which i mean grafitti-ing ) official buildings ( when he can get away with it ) && regular buildings -- it's usually things about respecting androids and seeing them as equals

YOOOOOO hello!  i’m tori and this is about my bby.  ( i have discord if anybody wants to plot there, or on here i’m good with it, just send me a message )  

this jaewon’s updated bio!!! <333  

 #1 nerd/fanboy. loves comic books, video games, horror movies and of course superhero movies. will 100000000000% talk about all of them all day when given the chance when he’s not acting shy.

was brought up with just his father who didn’t take much interest in him unless he was drunk ( which usually involved physical abuse,  )  so really, after his mother left when he was barely a year old. ( which jaewon’s father blamed him for )  jaewon’s never met her and  he has been bringing himself up so he didn’t have much of a childhood, having to fend for himself .   

growing up wasn’t exactly easy,, at a young age he’d get into fights a lot at school because he was acting out constantly  and literally have to fight his way out of situations,, most of the time it wasn’t his fault because older kids would give him a hard time  but the blame would be pinned on him in all directions. 

he was an intelligent kid,, getting put above a few older kids, but he always played it down. 

he was always trying to get his father’s attention,, half of the time going about it the wrong way getting into fights with other kids but by the time he reached ten he gave up completely. noting that really he was kept out of obligation. 

when he finally had enough,, he moved out and away from his father,, being accepted into the university in  osaka which meant he would be able to live on his own and didn’t need anybody to help him.

moving was by far the best decision he felt like he’s ever made in his life because he loves his life in osaka.  also loves everyone he’s surrounded by. 

usually seen around with headphones in and his imac out, he likes to create things on his computer so it’s usually why he has it.

he’s never had an android simply because he couldn’t afford it and his father didn’t like them, though that never influenced his opinion on them. he sort of wants one but also sort of doesn’t. he’s responsible but doesn’t think that he could have one in case it breaks like mostly everything else he has. though he knows really it doesn’t work like that.

recently found his mother is near where he is  but is too scared to go near her,, bc he’s unsure,, she left when he was a baby so it could mean anything. 

jaewon would do anything for anybody, even if he doesn’t know them he just wants to make sure the people are happy around him but back him into a corner and he won’t take any shit.

he’s 6474839394847456% soft and would never do anybody any harm. ever.  ( unLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY OR PROVOKEDD )

a little about his personality;

jaewon constantly wears his heart on his sleeve.

has serious abandonment issues that he won’t talk about ( also serious ‘daddy’ issues to go along with that.

he’s emotional ( tries not to but he can’t heLP it ) 

is 100000000000 awkward. but trIES HIS BEST. 

extremely naive and gullible. will believe what he’s told until he finds out it’s not true.

he tries  his best to be positive all the time. especially for people who are in worse of situations than himself. or just for the people he cares about. 

but due to his upbringing being quite forth with his emotions can be difficult because he didn’t have people to talk to about them.

some emotions can be too overwhelming for him, especially inTENSE emotions,, which causes him to shut off and lock himself away from people and he becomes distant. ( doesn’t usually last long but a few days to a week at most ) 

he’s constantly worried about what others are thinking of him,, although he doesn’t show it.

he’s extremely insecure.  constantly thinking that he annoys the people he’s arround he can’t help it, he just does.

jaewon’s got'a LOT of suppressed anger and other emotions  that he does not deal with.

he was much better dealing with it when he was younger,, the older he got the less interested people were so he keeps things to himself.  

he’s a tough cookie to crack but when it happens he’ll more than likely explode. though it’ll take a lot for that to happen. ( depending who the person is lmfao )

when he’s in his bad days,, he won’t eat or sleep. he delves into something that takes his mind off it and if he can’t find it then he’s burrito’d in his blankets with his phone off.  

he’s extremely shy and awkward around people he isn’t used too,, but that changes the more he gets to know them.

he’s extremely creative and he’s always doing something like drawing, writing stories or songs. ( he also sings when he’s himself because lbr he’s a shy bea n will nOT sing in front of peoplen )

jaewon is just an all round loving person, he’d do anything for anybody,, doesn’t matter what it is or who it’s for, he’ll do it because he cares and wants people to be happy.

friends brought together by unusual circumstance ( basically someone he’s met through doing something outside of his comfort zone, and keeps making him do different things so he’s not stuck inside all the time.)  

001.    BACKSTORY.

he’s   one   half   of   a   pair   or   well,   he   was   one   half   of   a   pair.   jaesun   lost   his   twin   sister   to   a   sudden   heart   attack,   something   that   to   this   day   still   doesn’t   make   sense   to   him   because   she   was   so   healthy   and   everything   good   but   it   only   shows   that   death   doesn’t   discriminate.   it   wasn’t   until   two   years   after   her   death   that   his   mom   bought   someone   new   into   their   house,   an   android   to   be   exact   one   that   looked   eerily   similar   to   his   dead   twin.

jaesun   had   always   been   fascinated   by   androids   and   how   they   worked   so   he   was   very   excited   to   witness   with   his   two   eyes   what   this   android   could   do.   he   wasn’t   bothered   by   the   appearance   in   the   slightest,   if   anything,   it   somehow   calmed   him.   because   it   looked   almost   identical   to   his   sister   jisun.   her   death   certainly   affected   him   a   lot,   because   she   was   not   only   his   sister   but   also   his   best   friend.   

at   first   jaesun   loved   to   have   the   android   around,   someone   who   was   willing   to   do   chores   around   the   house   and   who   would   cook   but   when   he   noticed   his   mother   paying   more   and   more   attention   to   the   android   than   him   he   started   to   despise   the   android.  

now,   he   was   never   the   favorite   child   that   much   he   knew   when   jisun   was   still   alive.   but   there   was   something   hurtful   about   his   mother   favoring   a   fucking   android   more   than   her   only   child.

so   not   only   he   felt   like   he   was   less   than   the   android,   he   and   his   mom   started   to   fight   more   with   his   mom   blaming   his   lazy   ass   for   not   doing   shit   in   the   house   before   and   after   jisun’s   death   and   with   jaesun   blaming   her   for   always   comparing   him   to   his   sister   and   taking   better   care   of   the   android   more   than   her   own   son.

002.    PRESENT.

WELL   he   moved   out   of  the   house   and   it   was   very   dramatic   and   he   got   into   a   huge   fight   right,   said   “   i   don’t   ever   wanna   see   ur   face   ever   again   !   ”   but   probably   saw   his   mom   a   week   later   when   he   entered   the   apartment   building.........   since   they   uhhh   all   live   in   the   same   building   i   guess

anyway   yeah   the   experience   really   gave   him   a   bad   outlook   on   androids,   especially   when   he   was   also   laid   off   of   work   soon   after   bc   they   were   gonna   hire   androids   instead   bc   the   wages   were   a   lot   cheaper   ...   uhhhh   okay

so   now   he’s   just   breezing   through   life   with   no   real   purpose   and   spends   most   of   his   time   in   rapture

003.    PERSONALITY.

basically,   he   thinks   he’s   better   than   everyone   else   and   isn’t   afraid   to   show  it   ?   i   wouldn’t   say   he’s   mean   mean   but   he’s   not   kind   either   ??   for   the   most   part   he   just   doesn’t   know   why   you,   a   zero,   is   talking   to   him,   a   10.   lmao   !   he’s   pretty   indifferent   if   he   hurts   people   bc   he   cares   about   him   and   him   only   !   basically,   he’s   like   ...   confident   to   the   point   where   he’s   conceited,   bc   he   knows   he’s   hot   shit   jsdflkdfj  

oh   yeah,   so,   negative   traits:   conceited,   candid positive   traits:    audacious,   independent

basically,   my   whole   damn   inspo   was   singularity   and   watching   20   fancams   of   singularity

004.   EXTRAS.

jesus   i   spent   way   too   much   time   thinking   about   how   he   looks   like...   ugh..   why   does   tae   have   so   many   gr8   looks....   okay..   well   hair   ?   black   ?   i   think   during   fake   love   era   ???   omg   im   going   through   it..   uhhh   what   do   i   add   more,   oh   yeah   !   buys   expensive   black   /   white   basic   shirts   because   he   can   n   he   likes   the   way   he   looks   like   a   normal   non-rich   person   when   he   wears   an   overpriced   270k   yen (   ??   is   there   a   diff   currency   )   black   shirt   lol   but   also   wears   dress   shirts   and   trousers   and   nice   shoes   n   a   tie   just   because   he   wants   everyone   to   now   that   he   is   a  god   amongst   all   of   these   humans   n   androids  

can’t   really....   keep   relationships   and   is   more   into   casual   hookups   /   fwbs   etc   so   he   usually   yeets   the   fuck   out   when   someone   catches   feelings   for   him   (   or   if   he   caught   feelings   for   someone   else   omg   rip..   )

Choi   Jaesun   is   Bad   at   Feelings

005.    WANTED PLOTS.

all   of   these   are   open   for   further   plotting   of   course   !!

a   best   friend   who   put   up   with   his   shit    &   feed   his   ego  !!   has   to   be...   human...   

childhood   friends   someone   who   prolly   still   has   embarrassing   pics   of   him

someone   he   dislikes   /   can’t   stand   

unlikely   friend   /   polar   opposites

an   android   that   he   could   consider   a   friend   maybe   ?

fwbs   /   casual   hook   ups

someone   who   he   leads   on   owo

bad   influence   on   someone

anything   angsty   of   COURSE !!!!

BASICS: 

J is very feisty and fiery 

he isn’t mean ? not at all, but he doesn’t enjoy being talked down to or disrespected 

A bit of a whore (lots of fwb hinthint) 

also a big potty mouth

big one 

every sentence has like a vulgar term js (not on purpose)

don’t call him jin-jae !!! no. don’t. it’s j. or jae. aka the same. he uses j for writing, jae for speaking, and his hacker name use to be jin/is jin. he uses it when he’s doing something illegal (drug deals tbh, he likes drugs a lil) too ? so shrug. just don’t EVER combine the two. weird tbh but shrug 

He doesn’t do romance ? Much ? he usually hates cuddles ? but like he’ll give them ( ig -him) so he’s on the aromantic spectrum (he just wants to have fun really)

Super smart ?? like he doesn’t seem like it, but he is super smart 

He’s a hacker, programmer, and use to hack for a gang. his dad was the gang leader, pimp, and drug dealer, and, forced him to do a lot of shit he didn’t want to do, and threatened him a lot 

he use to manage their online drug deals, human deals, etc. due to the ability to bounce off proxies and stuff and quickly manage. (they didn’t even catch he was stealing from them the whole time)

but, really, j was abused a lot during his childhood, teen years, up until about 20ish really ?? he’d starve, be locked in rooms, guns pointed at him, etc.

he puts on this minor facade, pretending that he owns the place and such, but really he’s very soft. he needs protection so he protects himself

but like, he’s soft. he wears pink kitty cat headphones when he’s working in the cavern (he has been with them for 2.5 years)

he actually doesn’t particularly care about androids. doesn’t hate them, doesn’t love them, they’re just kind of there really for him tbh 

WANTED:

friends with benefits (there’s literally no limit, he has a bunch)

friends !!!

droids who get attached to him for some reason ?? he doesn’t understand why 

unrequited love !!! please !!! 

maybe someone from his past even ?

chinae  doesn’t remember very much from his life before being sold to the rapture,, just that he was owned by someone else.  

 he K N O W S he’s defective because he knows that he shouldn’t be thinking of having another life,, somewhere else with S O M E O N E else. 

 he usually goes by ae. 

 chinae is always smiling,, whether he’s in the nightclub or outside it,, not much can stop that smile being on his face. 

he likes to be positive,, he knows that’s odd too because what droid is positive?  

chinae’s extremely happy for a droid,, he can’t help it he just is. 

he likes to surround himself with people whether that’s just a friendly situation or something else,, he genuinely doesn’t mind as long as he’s around someone. 

connections; ( like a whole three of them ) 

( old )  master;  this person would’ve been the one to sell him to the Rapture, where he’s been ever since. it could have been a good/bad relationship. ( lbr he would’ve cared a lot for them ) 

lover/ex; basically the reason as to why he’s been questioning and wondering about what his life could be like. this could work it’s way into the old master connection too but could be a completely new thing.  

friends; just people he enjoys spending time with.  andorid or non andorid,, chinae doesn’t care.
