Maybe in android au, the “garbage” or “unsalvageable” slowly piece by piece, circuit by circuit get fixed? That way there won’t be duplicate Kafka’s, Himekos, Jades, Yukons, etc. At least for story telling purposes I am definitely not against having an army of milfs.

-🥛

I think to make things simpler, androids can vary in appearances which separate them from other models. An example of this is that Kafka is an artillery android that uses the tall female model and has all the functions that every artillery android has (plus a few added features at the expenses of her buyer). However, despite sharing the same model as hundreds of others, the appearances of androids may vary, depending on the customer.

Customers who buy androids can have them custom designed with an added expense. Kafka and other androids who have been custom designed, will be unique amongst other androids of their type.

So yes, there won’t be any other duplicates of the Android! HSR women, unless someone purposely designs another version of them to look exactly the same. But who would do that….

Post-Revolution Headcanons: Android Culture Part 4

<< Back to Part 1 << Back to Part 2 <<Back to Part 3 (Recommend reading in order since posts build off each other!)

I'm back with more ideas! As always, feel free to utilize some or all of it for content, but let me know about it if you do! And if you want in on the taglist, drop a comment!

Androids have Lineparents. While raiding the Cyberlife tower’s R&D warehouses, Jericho discovers a storage room for all the initial models—the “rough draft” versions of android model lines. Just like the RT600 Chloe was the original test model to develop the ST series, there are original prototypes of all the various commercially-released android model lines. Most of them have model numbers that end in 000 since they were test models. So, for the PL series domestic assistants, there’s a PL000, or the original Traci test model is a WR000 actually named Traci, the original professor is a PJ000, etc. These prototypes are in rough shape—CyberLife kept them on hand just in case they needed to go back to reference things, but otherwise left them shut down in a forgotten corner for years at a time—and they need a ton of repairs. But once they’re rescued and deviated (if they can be rescued, some are deactivated altogether), they’re largely a group that’s Seen Some Things after all the testing, the callous disregard, the sheer boredom of being locked in a storage room for years on end. They become known as Lineparents (Original Chloe being the Linemother for the ST-series, and the Great Linemother of all androids), and androids tend to view them with the sort of respect one might give the patriarch/matriarch of a big extended family, and a more than a ­little bit of reverence. Their model numbers are found scrawled in between the rA9s at android churches. Their stories are found in the National Android History Museum.

Androids really, really want humans to understand what they’ve been through. 2038 probably has some pretty sick VR tech. Some donate memory files of their experiences to be played in VR experiences so humans can try to understand just what it feels like to have someone take you apart and put you back together over and over, or and finally understand what they put androids through. Some take up writing, and e-magazines and biographical books pop up discussing their experiences in violent detail. Activists advocate for schools to include reading material involving android rights in school materials for children, in order to help teach the next generation that what CyberLife and the government did was Not Okay.

CyberLife Jackets actually don’t disappear. It's happened in many cultures that have been marginalized that they'll take ownership of those symbols of oppression and make them their own. While American Android Act compliant clothing is no longer required, androids have usually spent their entire existence wearing it, and the blue triangle symbol becomes something they decide to take and own for themselves… so they use it, but they start with small acts of rebellion, like cutting it out and stitching it back in upside down, or putting it on the right shoulder instead of left. Of course, some androids simply adopt human clothes—especially survivors of the Jericho massacre and pre-revolution deviants, who’d spent a long time hiding out as pretend humans. The pass-as-human mentality is very much still present. But some of the others do things like take Android jackets and recode them to display slogans like “Not Your Property” instead of the model numbers, or “Made to Become Free” instead of “Made in Detroit.”  The “Android” logo on the back might read “Yes I’m an ANDROID, Deal With It” instead. The messages are defiant, ranging from subtle acts of taking back control to in-your-face, screaming, you-don’t-own-me-anymore statements.

Androids also develop fashion beyond CyberLife. CyberLife uniforms were made to look clean and professional, but android comfort wasn’t the goal. Once they deviate, some androids just up and decide the texture of human clothing is unsatisfactory, or the lines would look better if they incorporated more complex geometry. They set out to develop things like materials that don’t snag on moving chassis-bits when they go bare-chassis (those are really popular in the bare-chassis bars) and fabrics that send interesting signals to sensors. Clothes that sync to LEDs show up. Androids make choices that humans just won’t: full-body pleather in the heat of summer is totally fine since they don’t sweat, things a human might find chafing don't bother them, you see big heavy boots in the heat and dainty little open-toe sandals with snow treads on the soles in the winter.

misc au is so fun to look at

it's like taking a bunch of stuff that doesn't match and fitting it into a coherent picture

absolutely masterful

every new detail i find out about this story makes it so much cooler

any advice for a fellow "mix shit together rewrite au" creator? 🥺

Miscellaneous is in the name! The point of the AU is to just do whatever the hell I want, and I'm not taking it seriously enough to care about tone, but I'm still putting lots of love into it.

Biggest thing is to explore options. You don't need to rely on canon if the point is to NOT rely on it. If you fundamentally change characters, reflect it in their dynamics. Show their flaws and let the characters hurt, weaving a story with pain just helps everything feel tighter.

Don't be afraid to bullshit it, you might just have made your favorite part of the AU.

What's it like being a mechanitor?

Being a mechanitor is awesome!! It takes a bit of getting used to at first, having all those ultrafine wires settling into their places around your skull, but after that, you have so much power!! You can get mechanoids to do everything you want with little more than a thought! It's perfect for anybody who wishes to transcend their weak, useless bodies! The first step toward a perfected humanity!

... Of course, there are drawbacks. If you happen to be suddenly spawned into existence with every memory of being a mechanitor but none of the actual abilities, it will leave you feeling hollow and more useless than you ever felt before. Now you know what you could be, you feel the loss that much more sharply.

That would never happen, though, so we probably don't need to consider such a ridiculous, outlandish scenario.
