Bio

THE BATTLE ANDROID

Created to protect mankind, YoRHa No.2 Type B or 2B is an android designed for combat. She unquestioningly follows her directives and has a high respect for authority, no matter what. Even if it meant killing her only companion 9S over and over again. Years of this lifestyle have left 2B somewhat cynical, yet still attentive to her duty. 2B is one of the deadliest All-Stars, extremely proficient in a variety of martial arts, swords and packing helpers known as 'Pods'. Her detachment enables her to fight without restrictions, though it does not mean she is without emotions. 2B has the capacity to feel, though she does not understand quite how deep it goes.

Intro

"New mission received. Destination: Unknown. Duration: Indefinite." It was a very strange mission for 2B to have received, even by the abnormal standards of her own work. "Who even sent you this?" Pod 042 asked. "I don't know. To be honest I doubt this has anything to do with Project YoRHa." From the limited images she had received it appeared as though it was a mass gathering concerning creatures of all shapes and sizes. "It must be a mistake in that case. A weird mistake for sure but nothing to worry about." 2B shook her head. "I see humans here...what the hell? Robots too, androids, animals...What's going on here?" As far as she knew, humans had been extinct for a long time. This seemed like an impossibility. "You and I both know that couldn't be the case. There must be something wrong. This has to be an old mission or something." 042 attempted to reason. "That seems like it would be a pretty massive coincidence." In spite of the largely unknown element of the quest she was undertaking, she was prepared set off. "I guess I'll just have to find out. Maybe there was even more I didn't know..." So 2B and 042 set off for lands far beyond anything she had ever seen before, ready to tear up anyone who stood in her way.

Rival Scene

It definitely didn't have anything to do with Project YoRHa, that was for sure. As 2B walked through the crystal arena, she couldn't help but feel as though she was being watched. Not wanting to alert her pursuer, she didn't look around, but she was beginning to slow down, eventually stopping. "Alright. Games are over. Come out." She spoke. "One step ahead of you." The voice responded. 2B turned to see a man dressed in black and chrome pointing a gun at her. "So it seems." She said, rather nonchalantly. "For a human you have remarkable skill to get this close to me unnoticed." Snake shrugged. "What can I say? I'm a pretty remarkable human." He then looked at Pod 042. "Seems to me that you aren't all that human then. Mind telling me what brings you all the way out here?" 2B raised Virtuous Contract. "My mission is none of your concern." She warned him. "Believe me when I say it's in your best interests to turn back now. Pod, be ready." Snake didn't even lower his gun. "That tells me everything I need to know. There's no way I'm turning back now."

Outro

"I'm still not quite sure what that was about." 2B admitted to herself, having finally returned home. "My suspicions that this didn't have anything to do with Project YoRHa were correct. Still, there were some skilled fighters out there. None that I could not take care of, but skilled nonetheless." Whatever the case, 2B found herself enjoying her little escapade into the weird world she had just found herself in. Peace was fine, but she was still a combat android by design. It would always be in her programming to fight. "Not to mention the reward I received for my efforts. I think it made everything worth it." She began to glow blue, as did Pod 042. "Status: Great power acquired. All combat skills have been greatly enhanced." 042 confirmed.

The Proposal- 2B races towards the stage while Pod 042 says "Proposal: Dispatch it as quickly as possible." When 2B stops she replies "You don't say."

Terminate It- 2B drops down from above. Pod 042 says "Unknown energy signature detected." 2B replies "Then we terminate it."

Prepared To Win- 2B takes both swords off her back and swings them around, finishing the move with both blades pointing out.

Author's Note

Rivaly Connection: Snake and 2B are both creations designed to be super soldiers. They both dress in black and throughout the course of their games discover that they have been lied to. While both designed for war, they both come to long for peace. Both are also subject to design flaws which make them unable to carry out their duties (Snake's accelerated aging and 2B's developing emotions towards 9S).

I'll be honest, I didn't appreciate having NieR: Automata spoiled on me in the process of making this. Very not cool. But I still intend to play this game, looks amazing. I picked 2B for being more well known from what I see, as well as the fact her costume was in Gravity Rush 2 which ties it in to Playstation nicely.

Also, while I'm adding these themes I may as well mention that sometimes the artist will be credited, sometimes they won't. It depends if the song is an original song outside of the game it comes from, plus if the song is otherwise difficult to find without the artist's name.
