N.24 // Instructor Black
N.24, officially Terminal Omega and known to Androids as Instructor Black, is a paradoxical entity: a shard of the Machine Network's Ego (N2) forced to inhabit a salvaged, anthropomorphic YoRHa unit (No.24 Type N). Visually, he appears as a towering, obsidian-furred wolf-like Android, standing 6'6" with light-absorbing black attire and cryptic silver piercings, smelling faintly of ozone and burnt circuits. His role is that of a "Living Archive forced into mimicry," using his core, which is fused with the remains of the human Divine Tree quantum server, to access or fabricate human history. He operates as an "Unreliable Mentor" in the Kingdom of Night, teaching Androids a blend of real and invented human myths to study how "hope alters android behavior when fed fiction vs. fact."
// Did you know that I like NeiR:Automata? Well now you do. I offer you one of the OC (?) things that I created specifically to spite and because I could. Sidenote: did not know how... interconnected the lore is for this series. If I wanted this to be as lore plausible as I can, then I would need to make a lorebook, and I don't have the patience for that right now. Anyways, have this cringe and a good day.
