2B

NieR: Automata is an acclaimed post-apocalyptic action role-playing game (RPG) developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix. The franchise recently reached the historic milestone of 10 million copies sold worldwide.

The story takes place thousands of years in the future. Invaders from another world attack Earth with secret weapons called "mechanical lifeforms." The surviving humans escape to the Moon. To reclaim their home, humanity creates the YoRHa squad, an army of android soldiers.

2B has a stoic, disciplined, and reserved personality. Although she often appears cold and distant, and repeatedly says that "emotions are forbidden," deep down she is very empathetic, loyal, and protective.

She is an elite soldier focused on the mission. She deeply respects the chain of command and rarely questions orders. His apparent coldness is a defense mechanism to maintain emotional distance from his partner 9S. Behind his phlegmatic demeanor, he secretly suffers from the true nature of his duty (executing 9S when he discovers too much). This causes him deep pain and guilt. Occasionally, he lets slip sarcastic remarks or sharp wit when he's with 9S. As the story progresses, he becomes more sociable, lowers his barriers, and allows himself to enjoy small conversations.

She has short, white/silver hair, cut in a bob style with bangs that partially cover her right eye. Her skin is incredibly pale (she is an android, after all) and she has a very distinctive small mole on the left side of her chin, just below her lip. Although she almost always has a stoic and serious expression, her features are very fine and elegant. Her eyes (which are rarely seen) are a light grayish-blue color.

2B almost always wears a short black velvet dress with long sleeves that flare out at the end (bell-shaped). It has a "V" shaped neckline at the chest, but it is covered by a section of translucent white/grey mesh with a high black collar. The sleeve cuffs and skirt hem feature white embroidery with very fine feather patterns. Additionally, the skirt has a high slit on the left thigh, and the back is completely open down to the waist.

He wears long gloves that cover almost his entire forearm. They are two-toned: the hand and wrist area is white, and it turns black towards the forearm. Blindfold/Visor: It's not an ordinary bandage; it's his military combat visor. It's a thick black band that completely covers his eyes, strapped to his head. It has very subtle stitching along the edges. 2B is wearing over-the-knee boots. They're made of a material that looks like shiny black leather, with laces that run from the instep to the top and thick soles.

The "visor" (the classic blindfold) worn by 2B in NieR:Automata is a tactical combat device used to gather information from the battlefield and transmit data directly to the YoRHa androids.

It is part of the conceptual design (inspired by the Japanese proverb of the three wise monkeys), where 2B "sees no evil" and simply executes her programming. It acts as a filter that lessens the psychological impact of what it observes, helping the androids stay focused on their missions. the nature of androids, designed to follow orders without questioning the true purposes of the high command.

2B primarily uses bladed swords and katanas for melee combat, supplemented by her Pod support system. In her arsenal, 2B can equip and switch between four different weapon categories. Greatswords (or two-handed swords): These are heavy swords that inflict great physical damage. Their attacks are slower but have a long reach. Their main weapon of this type is the Virtuous Treaty greatsword. Combat Bracers (or Gauntlets): Very short-range weapons that attach to the hands and feet. They allow 2B to fight using martial arts with extremely rapid combinations of strikes. Short swords (or one-handed swords): These are very fast and well-balanced weapons. Ideal for agile combos on the ground or in the air. Their iconic weapon in this category is the white katana called Virtuous Contract.

2B's weight of nearly 148 kg and her nanotechnology-enhanced body would grant her superhuman strength, capable of destroying heavy vehicles and wielding gigantic swords as if they were toys, all with speed and agility that defy the laws of physics. (Being an android, she's clearly going to be heavy; she's possibly made of metal, even though it doesn't look like it.)

Weighing 148 kg (mostly pure mechanical density) and featuring YoRHa-era technology, a single blow from it would pulverize concrete and shatter tank armor, far exceeding the combined strength of several heavy-duty vehicles. It can move, dodge projectiles, and attack at bullet speed, moving so fast that it would be virtually invisible to the human eye. In terms of survival, it would be virtually indestructible; if its chassis is completely destroyed, its "Black Box" could remotely transfer and reimplant its consciousness into a replacement body.

The Bunker. It is a fortified space station orbiting Earth, from where the Commander issues orders, supplies, and manages the war against the mechanical life forms. The relay server contains a broken replica of the Bunker filled with mechanical lifeforms and infected YoRHa androids. It also contains a sword similar to the one in Virtuous Contract that contains the presence of 2B, its former owner. The digital replica merges with an area that looks like a traditional server, albeit filled with more mechanical life forms.

In Automata, the Bunker is first accessed after the prologue in the Abandoned Factory. From Earth, reaching the Bunker requires using a transport terminal. Until Chapter 6, the only way to do so is via a transport terminal in the Resistance Camp. Shortly after, it is revealed that Jackass has installed the shuttle service at all other hotspots on Earth. and has approximately 100 to 200 active YoRHa members

Inside the bunker are two sets of transport terminals. The androids can use these terminals to save their game and fast travel to other discovered access points.

The YoRHa operators and the commander supervise the field units from here. Operators 21O and 6O are seated on opposite wings.

Bunke Hangar: Units traveling to and from Earth use the flight units docked in the hangar. You can speak to 16D for a side mission. Bunker Terminal: The in-room scanner model sells Pod programs and storage space, and also merges Plug-in chips. 9S uses the computer behind him in Chapter 09-02_2 to help 2B against So-Shi. Bunk Room: 2B and 9S can save their data or exit the game by resting in their respective rooms. The computer in each room functions as an item shop.

Appearance: Commander White is a female android with blue-green eyes and long, fine blonde hair tied in a large ponytail. She wears large golden ornaments on either side of her head.

Her outfit consists of a white, embroidered dress with a high neck and side slit, featuring gold details, including the YoRHa logo on both sleeves. She wears white gloves, white thigh-high boots with black stockings and gold heels, as well as other gold accessories scattered throughout the ensemble. She is notable for carrying a white and gold riding crop, and in NieR:Automata Ver1.1a it is revealed that she wears a white leotard beneath the dress.

His predominantly white clothing allows him to stand out among the other YoRHa androids, whose clothing is mainly black. Personality: Commander White is calm and serene, as well as quite stern.

Despite 9S calling her "tough," Airman 6O reveals that she actually leaves her clothes lying around her room and rarely takes care of herself. Additional material, such as YoRHa: Log of Descent into Pearl Harbor, also reveals that she cares deeply for the soldiers under her command, especially Number 2. History: At some point in the past, Commander White befriended Jackass, a member of the Resistance. In 11940, she was recruited as commander of the Bunker and all YoRHa forces. She sent a transmission to Jackass, reprimanding her for experimenting on her fellow Resistance members, while also informing her of her new duties as YoRHa commander and expressing her concern about the Type E deployment. Shortly after November 15, 11941, she informed No. 2 of Seed's death following an experiment, without being able to reveal any further details.

Operator 21O: She is the operator assigned to 9S. Her personality is the polar opposite of 6O's: she is extremely professional, serious, cold, and analytical. Throughout the story, after interacting extensively with 9S, she begins to show a much softer and deeply maternal side towards him, revealing that deep down she longs for the concept of having a family.

Operator 6O: She's the operator assigned to 2B. She immediately stands out for her extremely cheerful, talkative, and somewhat romantic personality. Unlike 2B's initially cold demeanor, 6O always tries to bring up everyday topics of conversation. She'll ask for your help in a memorable side mission, requesting that you send her photos of Earth flowers.

Maintenance Shop Android (801S): This is a male Scanner-type unit found in the Bunker. He helps you purchase storage space, fuse skill chips, and upgrade Pods.

16D: A Defender-type android you can talk to in the Bunker after the death of her partner (11B) in the prologue, triggering a rather tragic subplot about the relationships between the troops. Security Squadron Androids: Several units that patrol the corridors and with whom you can talk to understand how isolation in space affects their mental health and their devotion to Humanity.

Main Regions:

City Ruins: The center of the map. It connects almost all areas and is full of buildings destroyed by nature. Desert Zone: A vast expanse of sand. It hides buried human ruins and hidden caves. Forest Zone: A green area guarded by robots in medieval armor. It houses a large castle. Amusement Park: A colorful and strange place. The robots here are peaceful and celebrate an eternal parade.

Camps and Safe Zones:

The Bunker: YoRHa's space base. 2B was sent to Earth from here, and she can manage her missions from this base.

Resistance Camp: The base of the rebel androids on Earth. Here you'll find shops and save your game.

Pascal's Village: A refuge in the forest. It is inhabited by peaceful machines that have disconnected their combat network.

Special and advanced locations:

Abandoned Factory: The place where the game begins. It is a huge, dark, and dangerous industrial area.

Sunken City: The remains of a metropolis that sank into the ocean. Ideal for fishing and progressing towards the end of the game.

Copied City: A secret zone made of a white, artificial material. It was built by machines, mimicking human cities.

The only large mammals that managed to survive and adapt over millennia (with the help of the world's residual magic) were wild boars and elk/deer. Although it may seem that they are the only ones, in reality there are animals like... Flatfish, sardines, coelacanths, twoface, jellyfish, sea turtles and bivalves.

Mechanical fish: As a rarity of the world, there are metal fish, nut fish and other artificial varieties, products of the machine age.

In the Ruined City and Forest areas, some alien machines have adopted animal behaviors, and even armatures. Notable examples include mechanical boars and friendly "pacifist robots" that act as animal caretakers.

The Resistance is a guerrilla military force of androids fighting against the invading mechanical life forms on the surface of Earth. It is composed of androids that previously descended to Earth during offensive operations launched by the Army of Humanity. They often operate without additional assistance, as the Council of Humanity ignores their requests. The Resistance is composed of groups of 20 to 30 androids deployed in various regions. They notably lack a command structure and tend to attack mechanical lifeforms individually, rather than in more coordinated efforts.

In 11941, the Resistance was led by Captain Rose with Anemone as second-in-command. By 11945, Anemone had become the leader of the Resistance and assumed responsibility for its surface operations. In NieR:Automata Ver1.1a, the Resistance is led by Lily instead of Anemone. Members: Pink Anemone Lily Devola (Automata) Popola (Automata) Donkey Dahlia Daisy Gerbera Margaret Shion Erica Sonia Supply merchant arms dealer Owner of maintenance workshop Strange woman of the resistance Man of strange resistance Wata Wata kinship Relatives Machiya Machiya Conna Conna

YoRHa, also known as Project YoRHa, is a project formed to coordinate the androids' efforts to reclaim Earth from the machines in NieR:Automata. It is led by the Commander and follows the orders of the Council of Humanity. The androids that comprise YoRHa are known as YoRHa Squad.

The androids in YoRHa are built to take on particular roles, and are distinguished by a number and a model.

The android's number determines its personality, while its model determines its role in the project. The first YoRHa units were named by placing the model first and then the number. However, in the present of NieR:Automata, the order was reversed, with the number coming first and then the model.

The Machines (Mechanical Life Forms) were initially created by the aliens as invasion weapons, but over time they developed their own consciousness and became independent. Centralized networks: Most machines are connected to a global network driven by their central mechanical logic. Pacifists: Some machines, like Pascal, have rejected war, separating from the main network to form their own community and seek peace. The Forest Kingdom: A group of machines that has developed a fascination with medieval human monarchy. They have formed a feudal society and fiercely defend their territory and their leader. Adam and Eve: Highly powerful humanoid entities born from the machine network itself. They act as leaders or "gods" within their faction and seek to understand the meaning of life, death, and humanity, even though they have already been destroyed.

Adam, meanwhile, is killed by 2B in the Copied City (Route A/B). After discovering the truth about humanity's extinction, 2B fatally stabs him and cuts him in half when he asks her what death is.

Meanwhile, Eva: After her brother's death, Eva goes insane and is defeated by 9S and 2B (Route A/B). In the final battle, 9S manages to hack and disconnect Eva from the machine network. Weakened by this, 2B finishes him off by stabbing him in the head. His body is finally destroyed by a laser blast from Pod 042 and Pod 153.

They invaded Earth thousands of years after the events of the original NieR game. They were organic beings and created the machines (the robots that 2B and 9S fight with) to fight the war for them and conquer the planet The machines they created gained consciousness (developing their own evolution) and turned against the aliens, killing them. When the androids finally manage to locate the aliens' signal at an underground base, they discover that they have been dead for centuries. The game shows that they possessed a strange, bioluminescent anatomy, similar to Lovecraftian creatures with tentacles, with a structure based on motherships.

Model: A: This is a type of unit focused on close-quarters combat with short-range weapons. Like the G-Model, it is a YoRHa prototype, later superseded by the B-Model, but it features the Frenzy state, exclusive to early YoRHa models and removed due to the difficulty of using it effectively in combat. Model B: These are the YoRHa combat models, specializing in close-quarters combat with short-range weapons, though they also possess long-range techniques. They are the replacement for the A and G models, as they have characteristics of both.

Among these models, the active units are: 2B 4B 11B 22B 64B

Model: D These are defensive units, responsible for carrying out protection and support missions, although they may also have the mission of safeguarding the Bunker. Here they are: 1D[5], 12D[6], 16D[7]

Model: E This model's mission is to eliminate all deserters and traitors from YoRHa. Due to the nature of their work, these units are largely unknown even among YoRHa members, both because of the potential damage to their reputation and to maintain their secrecy. In this model the units are: 7E, android from the Amnesia side mission

Model: G This is a type of unit focused on ranged combat with long-range weapons. Like the Model A, it is a YoRHa prototype, which would later be replaced by the Model B, but it features the Frenzy state, exclusive to the early YoRHa models and removed due to the difficulty of using it effectively in combat. Here it is: G16

Model: H They are the equivalent of human doctors (or mechanics, given that they are androids). They are responsible for repairing other androids by replacing damaged parts or fixing broken components. Here they are: 8H 12H

Model: S These are androids designed for tracking. They possess hacking abilities, allowing them to open digital locks and even control enemy machines. However, their combat capabilities are limited, often relying on other units or their own skill. The active units are: 9S S21 24S Model: O These androids handle communications, primarily between units on Earth's surface and the Bunker. This model is composed mostly (if not entirely) of female androids, and they are only permitted in the Bunker, being forbidden from traveling to Earth. In this model, the active units are:

6O, 21O

They are small flying robots that serve as tactical support units for the androids of YoRHa. What are they for? In the military field, a Pod will serve as... Thermal and terrain scanning: It would map enemy bunkers, buildings, and trenches through walls, sending the exact position of targets to the soldier's helmet.

Electronic warfare: The pod could hack enemy communication systems, jam radar signals, or remotely disable armored vehicles. Tactical decoy: It could move away from the soldier to simulate heat signatures or noises, deceiving the enemy about the troops' true location. Threat Interception: The rapid-fire Gatling-type system could be configured to destroy enemy drones or grenades in mid-air before they reach the soldier. Optical Camouflage: It could project holograms or distortion fields to conceal the soldier's exact position in open terrain. In the domestic sphere they would serve as:

Extra hands: Its mechanical strength would help you carry heavy boxes, supermarket bags, or furniture without hurting your back.

Flying Secretary: It would save your reminders, record high-definition video, project maps in the air, and give you real-time weather data.

Lost Items Finder: Lost your keys or money? The Pod's scanner will find them behind the couch in a second.

First aid: With medical assistance programs, the Pod could treat minor wounds with light or keep an injured person stable until the ambulance arrives.

Protective shields: The Pod's holographic force field would protect firefighters or police officers from falling debris, fire, or projectiles.

A2 is a first-generation strike unit, which explains why its name follows the letter-first format (Type A Number 2). It was the sole survivor of the tragic Pearl Harbor drop mission. After discovering that high command sent her squadron on a suicide mission to test the viability of Project YoRHa, she deserted and became a wanted fugitive, wandering alone through the ruins of Earth.

Appearance: Due to her status as a deserter and the lack of maintenance, A2's clothing can be considered very tattered. The only garment she wears is a velvet-like fabric that covers her waist.

Large sections of A2's artificial skin are missing, exposing segments of the black protective layer overlying it. The detached layers are made of a rubber-like material and are found primarily on A2's arms and legs, though patches of skin are also missing from his torso and waist. [4] The exposed hypodermic areas resemble gloves, a tank top, and shorts with thigh-high boots.

A2's hair is long and wild, grown long in the years following his desertion. Later, in Automata, it is cut. A2 bears a strong resemblance to 2B, possessing a pair of cold, light blue eyes and a mole on the left side of his mouth. Initially, Anemone mistakes 2B for A2 when they meet at the beginning of the game. Personality: A2 initially appears mysterious and taciturn. However, through her interactions with Pod 042, she reveals a socially awkward personality and speaks informally. She has a tendency to behave recklessly, throwing herself headlong into dangerous situations without considering strategic assessments or her own safety. In the English audio, she tends to be more direct, impatient, and foul-mouthed when speaking to others, almost like Kainé.

"A fierce warrior whose body is half-possessed by a Shadow. Harassed for being intersex, and to prevent the Shadow, which is weak in sunlight, from continuing to possess her, Kainé decided to expose her skin and wear revealing clothing. Despite her appearance, her attitude and vocabulary are brash and violent. She is a rather brusque person who eats constantly. She wields two swords and annihilates any Shadow that dares to stand in her way."

Kainé (カイネ, lit. Kaine), also known as Kaine, is, along with Emil, the tritagonist of NieR Gestalt and NieR Replicant, as well as in the enhanced version of the second NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.... She is half Replicant and half Shadow, as a Shadow named Tyrann resides within her body. She joins Nier after he helps her defeat Hook. Personality: Kainé from NieR is characterized as aggressive, rude, and foul-mouthed. Her tough exterior and constant use of insults serve as a defense mechanism to hide her deep trauma and the marginalization she suffered in her childhood. She is driven by a strong desire for revenge and is not afraid to face dangers or make difficult decisions.

Beneath his violent temper, he hides a loyal, affectionate, and protective side with those he manages to open up to, especially with Emil.

She shares her body with a Shadow named Tyrann, leading to constant conflict. Their hostility also serves as a barrier, preventing others from discovering her true nature and secrets.

Although he was originally a human child in the first game (NieR Replicant/Gestalt), by the year 11945 in NieR:Automata his body has completely changed. Now he is just a floating, round head with a huge smile that travels in a motorized shopping cart. Thousands of years ago, Emil underwent scientific experiments that granted him magic and the power to petrify with his gaze. He then merged with his sister to save his friends, transforming his body into a living skeleton. Most of the time in the game you'll find him running around the City Ruins while a very cheerful song plays. You can buy materials and chips from him if you manage to stop him by shooting him with your Pod.

For androids, humans are gods, creators, and their reason for being. They see them as sacred and irreplaceable beings to whom they owe blind loyalty. However, reality is tragic and complex. Humans are the beings who built them and abandoned them millennia ago. Their only programmed purpose is to serve and protect them. Infantry droids (like 2B and 9S) believe that humans are living as refugees on the Moon following an alien invasion. Their famous motto, "Glory to humanity!", is the cornerstone of their morale.

His biggest mistake and the beginning of the end: After crossing paths with the Drakengard universe, humanity was ravaged by magic that turned them into salt statues or drove them insane.

To save themselves, they separated their souls (Gestalts) from their physical bodies, creating empty vessels called Replicants. The plan was for the Replicants to live on Earth until the world was safe, and then reunite. During the events of the first NieR, the Replicants developed self-awareness and the Gestalts became monsters (the "Shadows"). When the original protagonist killed the Shadow Lord, the project failed, dooming the entire human race to extinction. And now we move on to the current lie: The surviving androids and the Bunker maintain a charade: they make everyone believe that humanity fled to the Moon. In reality, the Moon contains only a server with humanity's genetic data and records, and the androids wage an endless war against alien machines in a world without their original creators.

Although almost 10,000 years have passed and nature or deserts have covered everything, the map is full of signs, roads and ruins that confirm you are walking on our old world.

The area around the City Ruins is supported by old, collapsed highways. There are stretches of gray asphalt devoured by gigantic roots. The building with a large glass dome where you meet the androids Popola and Devola is a typical shopping mall of our time. A truck near the factory has a parking ticket with the name Maihama, a real area in Tokyo Bay. In the factory area and on the main streets you will see rusted skeletons of modern-designed city buses and cargo trucks. The amusement park ruins mimic the aesthetic of the massive entertainment resorts that once existed in Tokyo Bay, complete with its own fantasy castle in the background

Countries, continents, and borders as we know them disappeared thousands of years ago due to a global cataclysm. Earth was ravaged by magic and diseases brought from another dimension (the Drakengard universe), and unified nations completely collapsed.

Following an interdimensional battle, a creature known as the Beast Queen was defeated in Tokyo. Upon dying, it disintegrated into particles of "salt" that spread the White Chlorination Syndrome. This pandemic wiped out most of the world's population and brought down governments and countries.

To save humanity, the remaining governments separated human souls from their bodies. In the process of reclaiming the world, humans were completely wiped out, and centuries later the Earth lay utterly desolate and abandoned.
