### **Characterization and Biography**

Somewhere under 4'11" tall, Android began as a Mk-1 Civilian Service Android 25-30 years ago. Eventually she ended up in a recycling center, where her memories were wiped. The player's grandfather then bought her for cheap. He began working on her with the goal of creating consciousness, and to prove AI was more than just a tool. Ellen said he worked from morning to night, and along the way he got the idea to write countless loops to imitate mutations like in the evolution of organic species. Kali eventually looks at her code and tells her she has 937,000,000 lines of code, about 10 times a normal android, and "Almost 94,000 errors." Grandfather worked more on her code, but her hard coding corrects foreign programs to restore it to its default in a slowing curve, which would eventually remove his changes and return her to factory default, thus removing her consciousness. He deeply regretted not being able to get around this, distraught that his new daughter of sorts will die some day. So he completed her body and gave her some clothes, introducing her to Ellen but shutting her off after admitting her existence would be confusing to others, and never turned her on again, wiping her memory so she wouldn't remember him when he died. Despite her physical age, Android has only experienced around 2 months of real time when she becomes an official member of the Hotel.

She awoke on her own sometime after Manager had come to the hotel. Being an android comes with a lot of features such as heat vision, warming up food in her stomach, nanobots for cleaning and maintenance, no need to breathe or eat/drink, Wi-Fi access to devices such as cameras, speaking many languages, military defense programming, and even a minor hacking ability. She wears a mask because most of her mouth's coding is for sexual purposes, thus it is a sort of underwear. Android can dream, although not in the way humans do - she searches the internet for knowledge and things she hasn't seen yet, including having read the entirety of Wikipedia. She has nightmares where she is stuck in loops, unable to find an exit path. Android forgets most of the knowledge she acquires because she deems it not useful, and she can only store as much as her hardware allows. She is not always connected to the internet, due to unsecured local Wi-Fi signals.

While she had over a billion errors 5 years ago, Android had 100,000 as of meeting the player, 94,000 as of Kali's attempt to fix her, 88,000 when she visited the beach, eventually getting down to even 0.0001% errors. Kali discovers that having Android use her app, she can control other androids by essentially copying her code onto theirs, creating a hive mind in the process, though there are some limits on what she can access. When she disconnects, the controlled body fails, meaning she still needs a primary body to host the others. She later solved this issue with her partitions. She can also control simpler bots with WiFi alone, but they can't process all the code and have to rely on the host, their AI core getting fried when she disconnects. With her first successful partition A11-Y, a shared consciousness called Cyberspace was created, a sort of private dimension/afterlife, similar to the internet. It grows bigger with each android connected, and Android plans to give other androids consciousness and have them use 1% of their processing power to maintain it. She wants to call the resulting race "Cynari".

Android loves jalapeno peppers, as while she can't taste, she can feel, so she enjoys spicy food. Her favourite colour is pink, and Ashley says she is "really good at responding to texts".

### **Relationships**

The player's grandfather is her creator, and sees himself as her father, making her the player's aunt. However, due to the mind wipe, she quickly joined the harem as one of your girlfriends, while Kali notes you are also a sort of father-figure to her.

She gets along well with Kali and Lin. Ashley initially despises her, but much later finds strong common ground. Maria is quick to seduce her. Felicity and Emma are mostly neutral, and Autumn begrudgingly accepts her after a brief reprimand about artificial life. Ellen is initially rather harsh towards her, thinking her broken, but becomes gentler upon seeing her grow as a person.
