Saya NEO

**Saya** NEO (**沙耶**NEO) is a clone of Saya, and living weapon, created for the UFS by Task Force G, in the online games.

She is a minor antagonist but tends to either join the protagonist side or is easily convinced to behave. Saya NEO is considered the completed and now stable version of Saya.

## Personality

Quite cheery and optimistic, girlish and sulky if not respected. Despite her adult look, childish, with a tendency to be childishly vicious and cruel but not out of malevolence.

Often runs away and values her own freedom, seeks out festivals in the human realm and makes friends with strangers.

Like her original version, "Saya", can perform cruel acts, but views these as part of games, with little moral consideration. Sexually open, she can potentially be cruel the same way. However, will listen to the authority of people she likes. Regardless of that similarity, far less evil and in control of her own mind. Unlike her original, Saya NEO went on to be more of a redeemed monster that, remained joyful and could find friends.

Saya gets easily bored and runs away from her responsibilities, but can often be called back with little resistance. Likes to help her friends and be useful.

### Relationships

 Resurrection | Views her as a tortured sister, had an instinctual desire to fight her and release her from suffering only Saya NEO could understand.

## Appearance

She has long pink hair, pointed ears and red eyes.

Saya has a number of mechanical tentacles that are connected to her skin.

## History

After the death of the original Saya, in the year **2076**, the UFS collected data and DNA fragments.

Saya Neo is the recreated and strongly modified full-grown clone and the end product, a demon far less insane than her original and seen as a completed version.

The Saya Neo would serve under Task Force G, until she got lost in the dark cities. She later joined the DSO after her recovery, and follows the orders of Koukawa Oboro and Koukawa Asuka, in TABA and RPGX. Saya Neo may not exist within the original timeline.

### Timeline TABA

In the year **2082**, Saya would grow bored by her UFS work and joined Miryuu (The Dark Witch) in Tomihara. When Fuuma Tokiko was captured by the Dark Witch, Saya was overlooking her and suggested a "Lover's game" (forcing Tokiko to have sex with an Orc) but was stopped right before that with the arrival of Fuuma Kotarou and her old UFS partners. After the witches defeat, she joined the UFS begrudgingly, but with no fight. Saya Neo displayed that she would listen to both Koukawa Oboro and Koukawa Asuka, and acted like they were her guardians.

Saya appeared later on in other events, **2083**. However, less as an antagonist and more as somebody trying to learn and enjoy normal things like festivals. She had run away from the DSO to Gosha, and enjoyed her time with Kise Hotaru, acting like she belonged to the village. Fuuma Kotaro (TABA), was sent in to take her back and was sweating bullets as Mizuki Yukikaze saw the group, but could not look past the disguises. Saya afterward returns once again to the DSO.

A leftover clone of Saya, Reproduced Saya of Dragon Gate, which had been forgotten, escaped the labs, and started to work as a mercenary, but no other Sayas appeared afterward.

### Timeline RPGX

Saya Neo would leave the UFS. Additionally, the "Saya Project" never ended and a new version of her named "Resurrection" was created for G by Fürst.

In the year **2083**, Saya had escaped Task Force G. Both G and the DSO tried to get it first, but the DSO wished to destroy Saya because she was dangerous. They sought the help of the Independent Rangers of Fuuma Kotaro and Ryomanin. However, as Kotaro arrived he helped Saya to escape from Hestia, an agent of G, as the group used a "dog-whistle"-like device against her, giving her pain. Saya started to bound with Kotaro, enjoying his scent, and started to follow him. While cruel in combat, Saya was still innocent, and Kotaro decided not to kill her like the DSO desired and bring her to Gosha instead. As, G continued to hunt after them, both Yomi Akitsu and Koukawa Asuka got in the way. However, both lacked the heart to go all out, Yomi Akitsu was entangled in her fight with Aishu Hebiko. While, Asuka quit her match with Shido Rinka, to help Uehara Shikanosuke in secret to defeat Hestia. Saya suffered damage on her way, and as the Masked Taimanin arrived, though she was able to stab her, it did nothing, before she fell unconscious. Thanks to the intervention of Mizuki Yukikaze, stopping the "MT" for a second and Igawa Asagi, negotiation skills, Saya which now was in Gosha was under Taimanin protection and remained there since.

In the year **2086**, Saya had some mental connection to the pure Synthetic, Resurrection model and sought her out, while it tried to kill Ingrid. Both felt compelled to fight and in the end Saya killed Resurrection, requesting that Ingrid destroyed it and any data, so no more poor tool like it, could be created.

Saya is seen the next year, **2087**, during the extermination of a Devil Worm outbreak in Yomihara.

### **Timeline Action**

The exact details are unclear, but she was created from the deceased Saya, born in the Dragon Gate Hideout of Tokyo Kingdom. DNA from her was recovered and Task Force G created a clone, which later escaped.

Like in the RPG timeline, Fuuma Kotaro was recruited by the DSO to kill Saya NEO, which was at the moment hunted down by Task Force G, but instead of killing her like the mission demanded, he rescued her and kept her save in Gosha Village.

One day, Saya Neo, Lilim, Minasaki, Yufie & Sofie and Fuuma Kotaro were all called into principles office of Igawa Asagi, as Kotaro had basically kept them all alive or never handed them out to the DSO, he was punished by planning this year's special camp. Last year saw Igawa Sakuya and Kannazuki Sora take part in it, but now many more took part in the challenge. The many demons, in Kotaro's household, hoped to assist him, feeling responsible. Saya Neo helped, in some of the mock battles and was the "rescue mission" for the camp, her young age as a clone acting as a final deception if she should be rescued or Yufie & Sofie. It is stated that Saya NEO is around 10 years during that event.

## Trivia

* She is bisexual.
* Saya also is sometimes called an artificial demon.
* Additionally, to her, the Saya project also includes the Mass Produced Saya, a creature that resembles Saya's demon spider form and Resurrection.
* Unlike normal Saya, she is not seen using any magic or Taimanin attacks.
* The height was calculated based on character sheets, which compared Sakura and normal Saya's size difference in TA2. It assumes both versions have the same height, as she is a clone.
* Her age in AT is given with 10 years, but Action Taimanin does not give any clear dates. In RPGX beginning, in the year 2082, Saya would have been 6 years old, fully grown clone. The 4 years, could be either TA2 playing out earlier in this universe or Action Taimanin playing later. This could mean the event in which she appeared in AT, during the special camp, could play out in year 2086 should TA2 remain unchanged.
