character information
● name: Number 2, YoHRa Type A, No. 2, or just A2. A2 is juuuuust fine.
● canon: NieR: Automata
● canon point: Ending E
● age: Being an android, A2 has been alive for at least six years. She's designed as an adult and her personality reflects this as well.
● (canon) background: On the wiki
● abilities:
The A in A2 is literally stands for "Attacker"; among the YoHRa series, Type A androids are the strongest and best suited for combat, which reflects on A2's sheer strength and combat capabilities. She's capable of using virtually any weapon as well as piloting a a variety of crafts, specially the YoHRa issued ships, but as a human shaped unit she excels at melee. A2 power is made evident by her being capable of taking large amounts of enemies, included those that are several times her size, although she struggles with whatever puts her physical limitations (such as her size) at odds. She can still dispatch enemies that are far bigger than her, but not as easily.
As an android, A2 doesn't need to eat for sustenance, although she could if she wished so; she's equipped in a way she can survive on water only. A2 doesn't sleep, but goes into an energy-saving mode in which she conducts automatic repairs on her body. Anything too serious to deal with will require the aid of someone specialized in repairs and the proper parts, though; she also has "self healing" programs installed that will deal with damage taken even if she's active, but anything major will still need external help. EMPs and hacking (of the very advanced, high end kind) can damage her to an extent. A2 has been given hacking capabilities, and so she can also hack into other mechanical beings and constructs for a variety of purposes, ranging from making them explode, using them as "vessels" or even extracting information out of them.
A2's consciousness all that constitutes her being is stored on a "black box", a cube-like device that can be also used to trigger a massive explosion. Usually, androids could use it and have their data transferred to a new body, but in Ending E this has be rendered impossible (and in game there won't be an appropriate server-like structure, most likely). Androids are also equipped with a self-destruct function, but in A2's case this has been replaced with a "limiter remover" that sends her into Berserker Mode, in which she becomes even stronger and faster, but suffers from continuous damage for as long as she remains in it.
A2 weights 139 kgs, making her a lot heavier than she appears to be.
● strengths:
Loyal: A2 is slow to trust others, but once she does she will go the extra mile to make sure they're safe. Hurting someone she's become close to in any way will most likely send her in a rage. She also relies on these people and opens up more to them. Companionship and friendship mean that world to A2, to the point she might be wronged by those she trusts and she will most likely forgive them eventually.
Honest: For better or for worse, A2 always says the truth. Always. Even if it's painful or detrimental to her, she doesn't lie no matter what. A2 hates liars, understandably enough; she'll always prefer to be told an awful truth than some kind lie for the sake of keeping her safe.
Open-Minded: Behind the thick layer of anger and cynicism lies someone who is surprisingly capable of looking at a sworn enemy and actually manage to put herself in their shoes, even if she doesn't agree at all with them. A2 is quick to judge, but she's also relatively quick to realize she's doing so, and in so she makes the effort to actually try and understand others.
● weaknesses:
Irascible: A2 has the shortest fuse in the entire game. She angers very quickly, and "moderately annoyed" is a good way to refer to her default state of being. A hothead through and through, she's not good with people pressing her buttons, or just being annoying for the sake of being a bother.
Uncommunicative: A2 doesn't like to talk without a good reason to do so and when she does she tends to be short and curt and caustic. This decreases to some extent when she gets to know someone better, but those that know her better will also know that she's just not good with words. Or people. She has a hard time explaining emotions other than anger and she needs more time to put them into words, which frustrates her to no end. Not that she would tell that to anyone, because... well, she is bad with words.
Distrustful: She's been betrayed by what she saw as her family in the past, sent on a mission to have her killed for the sake of data recovery and then branded a traitor and marked for death for years. Stuck in a world where everything wanted to kill her, A2 is only now starting to live a life where she can allow herself to trust and lean on others. Still, a new place and new faces won't make it easy for her to open up.
● skills (optional): Exceptional fighter, has survived in extreme conditions for years and is ridiculously strong willed.
● housing (optional): n/a but maybe other androids? or whatever
● network username: A2

A2 here.
There was a request made on the boards about several strange lifeforms attacking a nearby settlement, so I went and took care of it. Couldn't retrieve any of them alive though. Damn bugs were just asking to be cut in half and wouldn't stay still.
The settlement is (mostly) intact and nobody in there died. I think. Science types should head there and recollect whatever bug goo you like to mess with in order to see what can be done to keep them from showing up again. So yeah, go do that.
I'm going to take the longest shower that's ever been taken now, so don't bother me.
A2 out.
● prose/action sample:
Life has always been a struggle for her. If it wasn't for the fact that A2 was built almost exclusively for the task of fighting, her current predicament (stuck in a jungle populated by a large following of crazy machine lifeforms) would still manage to deliver that sentiment. She didn't even want to get started on why she was stuck on the forest, or the planet, or anything about it, really. All she was focused on that moment was to run and to cut down whatever got in her way. The enemies had taken to some bizarre dressing style, but their metallic bodies were the same there or in the dessert. Maybe some had some extra plating on them, but it was nothing her weapons couldn't make short work of. Well, so far; A2 could clearly hear the stomping of a massive machine lifeform gaining on her as she dashed past a small company of lance-wielding enemies, the red aura around her knocking them off balance for long enough for her sword to decapitate half and cut down the rest. That was a bad sound. That was the kind of sound you got when whatever was coming for you could easily tore down the trees and catapult the rocks around you like if it was the easiest thing in the world.
She was designated and Attacker, but she wasn't an idiot. That was the kind of fight you planned for, not one you got thrown into. A larger machine cut her out of the blue, this sporting four long, springy legs like a horse of sorts. Her sword met his lance, forcing her to swerve around to cut off an arm, but at the cost of being bodyslammed against a tree. A2 had enough time to curse before having to throw herself away when the lance pierced the exact spot her head had been a moment go, the weapon going all the way through. Taking her chance, she quickly blinked in front of the enemy, her larger and heavier sword falling on its head and cutting all the way down its body and frame. She didn't stop to see the explosion though, as she could hear the monstrous machine lifeform way too close for comfort.
"I'll deal with you another day." It's a hushed promise she doesn't expect (or hope) the incoming behemoth can hear, but just then a three flies to her left. Shit, there goes her daring escape. Gritting her teeth, A2 pushes harder as she sprints out of the forest, the trembling on the ground telling her she has just barely managed to avoid what would've been a ridiculously difficult fight. She keeps on going though, as she knows not to lower her ground around machine lifeform territory. Better make sure to find a safe spot before stopping and assessing the damage done to her body and start preparations.
She'll be back for them. All of them.
