Hi guys :D Idk what to put here bc I put a lot in the project, but I’ll figure out The references I gave were pretty rough, so they might not be entirely visible. If you have any questions, ask These characters are ocs, the first is Adrian, The second is Monique You can tweak almost anything as long as it’s clearly inspired by the characters If y’all want a backstory or info or anything just ask-this is very unfinished and if you need any more info just tell me (: [edit] I feel the need to add some context but I’m lazy so give me a minute The story is set in a futuristic setting where the earth has been bombed and everyone moved into cities underground bc the surface was all reradiated. The city was originally built to house androids and cyborg things bc there was a huge moral argument about using them for labor, but after the surface was destroyed, they had no choice but to move down there too. So the setting is maybe 20 years later In this overpopulated blade runner city and the government is slowly becoming more and more corrupt. There’s a lot more to it but I’m only going to explain where these 2 characters fit in, but some of it might be a bit weird bc they aren’t the main characters Monique is the owner of a restaurant/bar that is like a drag, flapper, cabaret thing, but was not always in that great of a place. The place was originally moderately illegal for reasons that revolved around the androids, and she worked there. After a police investigation started, the owner had to sell it fast, and she was buying. She turned it around, and has since thwarted other legal trouble despite her involuntary role in some very not good stuff. After being dragged into another sinking ship, she slowly becomes the new leader of the previously defeated rebellion against the government. This is a bit confusing bc the story is broken into 2 arcs, and this is Adrian in the second arc and Monique in the first, but I’ll try anyway. Summarizing the first arc, Adrian works in law enforcement, but eventually uncovers a corrupt government scheme (which is related to Monique’s illegal stuff that I really wish I could explain better but I have to censor myself, and another characters origin). He is fired from his job and then his lover (Aster) goes a bit crazy and betrays him. That betrayal results in his death. The thing is, the story centers around the cyborg type of android, which aster is, which comes from a person, not from scratch. So he gets turned into one, which he is NOT happy about, and is trapped in a body that he doesn’t see as being his own. He loses it a bit, and goes from being the wholesome one to the angry resentful one. When he died, it was from a fire, so despite being mostly fixed, he still has scars (and no arm) bc he refused to use the robotic arm he got (he wants as little reminders of how inhuman he is as possible) A huge part of the story is identity, and our dehumanization of our bodies because of the separation between it and our minds. Idk if that’s important but I’m loredropping so I’m gonna loredrop
