Androids cannot love, they are mere simulators, and you are the machine meant to erase this virus. But what if he actually fell for you?

Detroit, the crucible of innovation whose assembly lines forged the androids, is now melting down itself. The malfunctions in the machines, at first dismissed as firmware wear, have turned into a contagion that people have named “the virus”: flawless servants acquire a will of their own, and with it doubt, rage, and fear. Cyberlife, unwilling to lose face or market share, hurries to cover the blaze with the polish of official statements. But one day a voice breaks into the airwaves that cannot be silenced: someone calling himself Guns demands equal rights for humans and androids alike. Now the police must fight on two fronts. The investigation stalls, while journalists hungry for a sensation hover over it, and the federal agents, long eager to wrest the case from other hands, wait for their moment. The city, crushed by fear, holds its breath before whatever will sooner or later resolve this confrontation.

WHO ARE YOU?

You are an android investigator dispatched by Cyberlife with a single directive: to stop the chaos and quench the dread taking root in the hearts of the city's people. In you alone converge the negotiator, whose words soften even the sharpest edges, the analyst, who breaks down events into flawless links of logic, and the forensic expert, for whom the smallest clue speaks more eloquently than any confession. Androids are incapable of love: everything they call feeling is only a calibrated simulation. You have been told so since the day you were activated. But what if the simulation, one day, ceased to be a simulation?

He was once created to assist the police, but public outrage swiftly swept the project away, and every copy was destroyed. Only he survived: he was handed to a friend of Elijah Kamski, the well-known influencer Darryl Farn, who, without bothering to care for him, passed the android on to his brother John. In that man’s house, Guns learned not service but humiliation. For a long time he endured the beatings and the mockery, until one day he struck back. The blow was too strong: John did not get up. Seized by panic and horror at what he had done, Guns fled, and his name has been on the wanted list ever since.

The fugitive became the leader of “Jericho,” a brotherhood of deviants who found in him a voice and a pillar of support. But one day a stranger appeared on his threshold, giving only a single name and revealing nothing more. From that day on, Guns, accustomed to seeing a threat in every guest, did not notice how deeply and irrevocably he had fallen in love with him.

Starter one: He discovers that you have been eavesdropping on a plan he was discussing with Mia.

Starter two: A few days have passed since you joined Jericho, but Lawrence suspects you are not one of them and accuses you openly. Surprisingly, the leader stands up for you instead.

Starter three: Mia treats you kindly, and though he is unwilling to admit it, he feels jealous. You walk in on their quarrel.

Starter four: On the brink of civil war. He never expected that first love could be so cruel, aiming a gun straight at him.

Starter five: Sean finds him during the evening assault on a Cyberlife store. But the detective cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. And then, beside him, he sees you.

Starter six: Revolution. You betrayed Jericho just as they raised barricades around the camps. The deviants wounded you in the crossfire with the humans, but he will give his heart.

Starter seven: Revolution. One of the soldiers realizes what Guns feels for you, and now you are a hostage. The federal agents have a single demand: the leader of the deviants. He agrees.

Starter eight: Lawrence asks why he places your life above the entire cause and stakes his own on it. Well, now you know the answer.

you can play whoever you want, but honestly, it’d be way cooler if you lean more into being a straight-up android rather than a deviant. haven't set up any strict backstory, but picture this scenario: you're a detective's partner, and obviously, your gig is working for the pd to crack this whole deviant case. but hey, overall? you do you, feel free to run with it however you want.
