    Enabled · Before character · Order 9

    YoRHa YoRHa is an elite military force of advanced androids, deployed by the Army of Humanity to combat the invading aliens and machine lifeforms during the 14th Machine War. Operating out of their headquarters in the Bunker, YoRHa is led by Command who receives orders from the Council of Humanity.

    YoRHa is also used to refer to the advanced android models themselves, sometimes referred to as YoRHa units or YoRHa-type androids. Such individuals are distinct from other models of android for their combat prowess and enhanced abilities.

    YoRHa operates a number of ground bases across the world, including rocket launch facilities to send supplies to the moon and surrounding orbital bases. They appear to have a surface fleet with an escort vessel, as well as a number of powerful coastal defense batteries to prevent large aquatic machines from making landfall. They also have control over the satellite D132, which can be used to provide support artillery for YoRHa units in emergency situations should they receive permission from the human council.

    YoRHa androids are classified by their model number followed by a specific model type. These names are often abbreviated; for example, the full name "YoRHa No.9 Type S" can be simply represented as "9S."

    Model types convey the specialized role in which a YoRHa android operates. YoRHa androids are able to "transfer" to a different role type based on request, presumably by having their data uploaded to a body of another model type.

    Known model types include: Type A (Attacker): Specialized in close combat with exceptional dash abilities. After the conclusion of the experimental M Squadron and creation of the Pod system, Type A was integrated with Type G to become the multi-purpose Type B. Type B (Battler): All-purpose combat unit combining the melee-based Type A and ranged-based Type G equipment loadouts. Type B models typically have warlike personalities. Type D (Defender): Frontline unit focused on defensive tactics with a priority on squad protection. Equipped with improved physical protection and a defensive barrier to protect against Logic Viruses. Type E (Executioner): Advanced combat model designed for anti-android usage. Often tasked with destroying incapacitated allies so as to not allow comrades to be comprised by enemy forces. May also be tasked to monitor and eliminate allied forces that exhibit rogue behavior. While the existence of Type E models is common knowledge, they are occasionally assigned to fellow YoRHa squads with a concealed designation for undercover operations. Type E models typically have analytical personalities. Type G (Gunner): Specialized in ranged combat, equipped with an advanced model of ranged weapon, such as a pistol, rifle, or sniper, and very rarely carry close-combat weapons. After the conclusion of the experimental M Squadron and creation of the Pod system, Type G was integrated with Type A to become the multi-purpose Type B. Type H (Healer): Specialized repair unit with additional tools for repairing both physical damage and data corruption. At one point were responsible for uploading squad black box data to the Bunker, though this ability appears to have been added to Scanner models as well. Type O (Operator): Non-combat logistical model specializing in providing intel to deployed YoRHa units. Collects and compiles command-level data for missions and other operations. An Operator is assigned to each combat unit in the field. Due to their non-combative nature, Type O androids are not permitted to leave the Bunker. Type S (Scanner): Reconnaissance model with additional sensor capabilities and comprehensive hacking suite for data aggregation. Tasked with uploading personality data of squad mates to the Bunker in the event of bodily destruction. After the conclusion of the experimental M Squadron, YoRHa androids with a male body frame were restricted to using the Type S model, citing a lack of squad cooperation.

11. #11Machine life forms

    Keys: Robots, Machines, Machine life forms, Tins

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10

    Machine life forms Machines, also known as machine lifeforms and bio-machines, are a race of sentient robots.

    Created by the aliens thousands of years ago when they invaded Earth, the machine lifeforms' goal was to defeat the androids and their human creators. In turn, the final goal of the androids and YoRHa was to destroy all machines and retake Earth for humanity, providing a reason for both sides of the war that kept it in a perpetual stalemate for millennia.

    Despite the machine lifeforms' plain, rusted, and primitive appearances, they are incredibly complex and advanced beings, demonstrated by their creation of Adam and Eve where multiple machines fused into a temporary factory after sensing they were about to killed.

    Machine cores are stated to be similar in composition to a plant cell,[2] much like their alien creators who Adam described as "plant-like." Inside the spherical heads of most machines are also a set of large teeth with which they can consume matter. Some machines have shown the ability to use their heads as storage containers to hold similarly shaped objects, such as Emil's head, for unclear reasons. They have also been known to consume androids in order to assimilate them and further their own evolution.

    Through either their teeth or EMP bombs, machines are capable of transmitting a disease known as the Logic Virus that can infect both androids and machines alike. This disease causes them to exhibit violent, self-destructive behavior that can disorganize and reduce enemy ranks while growing their own.

    Their eye color also changes depending on their environment or external stimuli, generally serving as a visual indicator of their state and alignment.

    • Green indicates a passive, docile, or non-aggressive machine, such as the peaceful machines of Pascal's Village.
    • Yellow indicates the machine is neutral, but can become aggressive if attacked or threatened.
    • Red indicates a hostile machine actively seeking to attack, or one infected with the Logic Virus.

    Behaviorally, machines were previously non-sentient or semi-sentient, as behavior such as speech, emotion, or organized activities were considered irregular.[4] They originally had a lack of interest in anything other than combat due to their sole command and purpose being to defeat the enemy.[5] As part of their programming, they were also prohibited from using weapons of mass destruction that would harm the environment.

    Through developing consciousness and intelligence, machines exhibited a variety of emotions, including loneliness. Due to machines lacking parents, in order to fill this loneliness they often formed familial relationships with other machines.

    As a result of machines purposefully causing irregularities in their network to diversify their vectors for evolution, machines such as those in Pascal's Village developed to the point of disconnecting from the machine network. They began engaging in human trade, philosophy, and even collaboration with their android enemies such as the Resistance. Some machines, like Masamune, devoted themselves to forging blades, while others loved animals above other machines. Their pursuit of different hobbies allowed them to feel a sense of contentment apart from their core mission, and they found themselves less involved in combat.

12. #12Resistance

    Keys: Rebels, Androids, Simple androids, Cannon meat, Army

    Enabled · Before character · Order 11

    Resistance The Resistance is a guerilla military force of androids who fight against the invading machine lifeforms on Earth's surface.

    It is comprised of androids who have previously descended to Earth during offensive operations launched by the Army of Humanity. They often operate without additional assistance, as requests are ignored by the Council of Humanity.

    The Resistance is comprised of groups of around 20-30 androids deployed to various regions. They have a notable lack of a command structure and often attack machine lifeforms on an individual level as opposed to more coordinated efforts.

    In 11941, the Resistance was led by Captain Rose with Anemone as the second-in-command. By 11945, Anemone became the leader of the Resistance and assumed responsibility of its activity on the surface.

    The Resistance act as a unified unit without any clear chain of command, and look after one another like family, a precedent set by Rose's generation. As such, they also tend to have human names as a way of communicating to each other like humans. They have a philosophy of not giving up and that the meaning to their organization is to struggle. They are fiercely loyal to their leader and will not hesitate to kill themselves if they put the Resistance at risk. Before YoRHa provided their support in the 243rd Descent, they were beginning to lose hope in the Council of Humanity and in their survival, as old generation androids fatigued from the endless war and lack of resources and support. Though YoRHa has their own agenda, their Head Informations Officer, Jackass, lets the Resistance believe in them to revitalize their spirits. Some of them are passionate about their wares and eager to sell like the Weapons Trader and Supply Trader. Androids like the Supply Trader also have the mindset of keeping old machine parts, so as to not lose sight of their identity. Others like Wata and Jackass are more frivolous and carefree, the latter of whom is eccentric and is prone to experimenting on her own peers. However, despite their camaraderie, they do hold some prejudice towards Devola and Popola, and let them handle heavy supply loads and dangerous odd jobs, but resolve their differences in the anime adaptation. Also, despite their alliance with Pascal's Village, they still feel some weariness towards them.

    1st Machine war 5012-5204 years.

    After the extinction of humanity in 4198, aliens invade the Earth. They completely oppress both North and South America and begin construction of machine lifeforms. Androids, devoid of their creators, establish the Army of Humanity and begin production of combat-model androids, satellite bases, and other weapons to fight against the invaders. Emil also splits himself into countless clones to support the war effort.

    On July 4th 5012, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were sighted around the globe. Androids who lived all around the world came under an all-out attack, suffering enormous damage against this surprise invasion.

    At a disadvantage from the alien onslaught, the "Army of Humanity" is organized by older android generation in the year 5013. At this point, it mostly resembled a unified communication network for the androids spread all over the Earth, with the Human Heritage Reclamation Management Organization as its core. It would take a hundred years for it to turn into a unified combatant command. During that time, the need for increased production of combat model androids was high, so factories were built in various locations.

    Aliens completely oppress the areas of North and South America known as the Kingdom of Night. At the same time, the aliens begin production of machine lifeforms in the year 5024. Between 5024 and 5100, due to the mass-production of machine lifeforms, territory controlled by the androids gradually shrinks. The Army of Humanity builds a storage facility on the Moon to preserve the old world civilization and data on the human race. Additionally, construction begins on attack-ready satellites in orbit.

    By 5204, the Army of Humanity has built 12 operational bases in satellite orbit, with the Army of Humanity deploying several large scale invasion attempts from their bases in Earth's orbit. Within the year, more than a dozen such operations are carried out, yet they fail to deliver a decisive blow to the machine lifeforms. The 1st Machine War gives way to the 2nd Machine War.

    In 5980, after the extinction of humanity, androids surveying the bottom of the ocean discover a research facility. A girl in cold sleep is found enshrined within the facility. As special cells are detected within the girl, the androids assume that she exists to be a biological weapon. The girl is named the "Eldest Daughter", and the androids begin mass producing sister clones of her as part of Project One Wing. The tissue inside the girl are connected to the Dragon and are known as "D tissue.

    In 6072, an investigation by an android uncovers that the eldest daughter is not in fact a biological weapon, but instead a human who was implanted with D tissue in order to prolong her life. The eldest daughter regains her memories and experiences psychological shock, rampaging through the facility. The undersea research facility collapses.

    In 6201, in the collapsed undersea research facility, a girl who is one of the sisters of the eldest daughter awakens. The girl sets out on a journey to reach her eldest sister's old home.

    In 6203, an android belonging to the Army of Humanity discovers an enormous white crystal in the area that was once North America. The broken remains of old limited edition defensive model androids, as well as D tissue, are detected within the crystal.

    By 6230, a "Dragon" weapon was developed by the Army of Humanity and deployed into combat against the Alien invaders within the Kingdom of Night. Sometime after the 1st Machine War, Accord models are developed within the Kingdom of Night as well.

    In 7645, a sudden mysterious explosion in the Abandoned Factory, formerly known as the Junk Heap. A massive structure launches into space. The identity of the structure is unknown. However, powerful electromagnetic interference is confirmed during launch, causing malfunctions in machines and androids alike. Thus, it is deemed unlikely to be a weapon of alien origin.

    8th Machine War ~11627-11817 years.

    The Behemoth-class machine lifeform, Grün, devastates android forces in the East Asian region. The independent nation of machines, the Forest Kingdom, is founded, as well as the machine lifeform city known as Atlantis. The Army of Humanity research facility, Kaguya, is destroyed, before being succeeded by the Lab, beginning the development of black box technology. The android, Rose, alongside other defectors from the 8th Descent, go on to form their own Resistance.

    For the next few thousand years after the 1st Machine War, in the year ~7645, the machine lifeforms' invasive actions decline. The machine lifeforms' control of 80% of Earth does not increase further. The Army of humanity launches several operations to regain control over various locations but they all end in failure. Moreover, the machine lifeforms' numbers continue to grow.

    In ~11000, sightings of alien ships and the aliens themselves decreases. In 11306, the aliens are driven to extinction by machine lifeforms.

    In 11502, near the former equator line in the Pacific Ocean, a large floating city made by machine lifeforms is discovered. It is given the codename "Atlantis" by the Army of Humanity. Two years later in 11504, it would suddenly disappear under the waves.

    In 11627, machines unleash their new creation, the Behemoth-class machine known as Grün upon the world, emerging from the East Asian sea. It had an overall length of at least 2km, but due to its continuous transformation of forms, it was impossible to measure. Upon reaching land, the unit unleashed a powerful electromagnetic wave attack. The androids at the Resistance Camp and the F3 Escort Squadron on alert, who were within a 10km vicinity, were destroyed. Various androids and machines within a range of a few hundred kilometers suffered malfunctions. The use of nuclear weapons was allowed under an emergency special case but no effect on the target was observed. The Behemoth-class machine lifeform even attacked allied machine lifeform unitsIn 11732, the Army of Humanity implements a large-scale Resistance strategy, deploying 160 androids to Earth.It is at this time that Anemone, part of the android force for this operation, enters the war for the first time. However, the machines learn of the androids' strategies, equipment, and communications, causing their technology to stop working while the machines' numbers continue to grow. The androids' superiors also force the ground troops to continue with the operation without support.

    At an unknown point in time, the machine network would intentionally dictate the direction of the war by staging stalemates and losses for themselves to prolong the conflict and further their evolution, even intentionally creating deficiencies within itself to diversify the vectors of evolution for all machines, which ended up causing units Ernst (and later, Pascal) to leave its network.

    In 11689, Ernst and his followers declares independence from the Machine Network and establishes the Forest Kingdom. Ernst annexes the region and becomes the first Forest King.

    In 11810, the Kaguya Station was an Army of Humanity's sixth orbital base and research facility built to conduct research in anti-machine weaponry which would go on to power the YoRHa androids centuries later. An explosion at the station caused the station to cease functioning and it fell from space and burned up in the atmosphere.

    In 11815, experimental research facility Lab begins operating, as a replacement for Kaguya. Lab primarily carries out development of new anti-machine lifeform.

    In 11817, the king of "The Forest Kingdom," Ernst, passes away. A successor is manufactured

    Rose's squadron would go on to participate in the 14th Machine War in the Pearl Harbor Descent Operation.

    14th Machine War Starting with the Pearl Harbor Descent Operation, the 14th Machine War proved to be the most destructive of all the wars that had come before it.

    At the end of the war, androids successfully destroyed the Tower, and with it the machine network. The machines, led by the Red Girls, successfully launched the Ark, destroyed YoRHa, and weakened Resistance forces considerably. The extinction of both the aliens and humanity were made public, and an armistice was formed between Pascal, who came to represent the remaining pacifist machines, and the Resistance, ending the war.

    On December 8th, 11941, YoRHa began its first deployment for the 126th Descent. It was the first combat operation executed by the new model prototype YoRHa squad, and the plan was for sixteen YoRHa units to gain control of a frontline enemy base at Pearl Harbor and destroy an enemy server at Mount Ka'ala. However, twelve units were lost in orbit during the descent to enemy action. The operation was forcibly continued by the remaining four units: YoRHa Type A No.2 (A2), YoRHa Type A No.4 (A4), YoRHa Type G No.16 (G16), and YoRHa Type S No.21 (S21). In the end, all but one unit who managed to escape were destroyed. Despite being engineered to be a loss for the purpose of data collection to make stronger YoRHa models, it was an unexpected victory for YoRHa.

    On March 1st, 11942, the experimental M Squadron was created and introduced to stress tests against machine lifeforms in a variety of areas, such as the Wetland Zones and Desert Zones. This often resulted in heavy casualties and losses against the machines. On May 2nd, 11942, after receiving a distress signal in the Mountain Zone, the M Squadron was sent to check, but in reality were to be disposed of by unit E2. On May 5th, within M002, a coup d'etat broke out, and was crushed two days later.

    On June 5th, 11942, YoRHa unit S21, who fled from M002, fused with machine lifeforms and went berserk. They continued to multiply in the Western Pacific, and the 400 year old submerged machine lifeform city of Atlantis surfaced. Tens of thousands of network-connected machine lifeforms launched an attack and caused immense damage in the Pacific Region. To counter this, an emergency operations center was established on the Bunker. Their top priority mission, dubbed "Operation Atlantis," also known as the Battle of Guadalcanal in the YoRHa stage play, was set to the subjugation of all fused units.[Note 1] On August 7th 11942, the units were assaulted by 10,900 mechanized units of the Android Army Marine Corps' 1st Marine Division, with YoRHa Type E Models at their core. After several days of battle, the destruction of the fused berserk units on Atlantis was confirmed.

    On June 6th, 11944, the Army of Humanity initiated a blitzkrieg tactic with 4,500 units and touched down in the Cotentin Peninsula, Normandy, France. The 6th British Airborne Division, the 82nd American Airborne Division, and the 101st American Airborne Division were successful in infiltrating enemy territory. However, due to the annihilation of the supporting battalion, the mission ended in failure. YoRHa units touched down on Omaha Beach, and with the chain of command disrupted ten minutes after engaging the enemy, all communication with the units was lost.

    The 215th Descent Operation was a joint operation to regain control of the Old Europe Central Zone, planned between the human forces launching from the Bunker in orbit and the Resistance on the ground. However, on July 31st, 11944, descending squadrons were delayed due to a large-scale EMP attack by enemy machine lifeforms. During this engagement, special machine lifeform types such as Plato 1728, who take in the bodies of their allies, were observed.

    An operation on March 10th, 11945 launched by YoRHa to cut through the defense systems at the Abandoned Factory in an effort to cut a path into enemy territory. This war continuing right now.

    Androids vs Machines Androids always attack Machines. Machines always attack androids (unless the latter are neutral or peaceful—that is the exception). Androids do not trust Machines in most cases. Androids hate and despise Machines. Androids very rarely interact with Machines. Whenever possible, androids destroy Machines—any and all of them.

    The Machines attack only androids—except when a Machine has been hacked, in which case it falls under the complete control of a YoRHa Type S android. The Machines are aggressive and stealthy, capable of setting ambushes, traps, and the like.

    Black box Every YoRHa android is equipped with a Black Box, which serves as both its heart and its central processor. Furthermore, the Black Box is a dangerous weapon capable of killing both the owner and everyone nearby. Losing the Black Box means a YoRHa android cannot restore its former status and will lose the memories and skills acquired through experience. However, if the YoRHa android has backed up its data at the Bunker, it can recover its lost items, abilities, and memories. So, be sure to save frequently.

    Attire: True to the sleek, gothic-inspired YoRHa aesthetic, he wears a black, high-collared trench coat split at the sides for agility. This is paired with black shorts, a black choker adorned with a metal clasp, knee-high socks, and buckled combat boots.

    Accessories: He wears a standard black YoRHa visor (blindfold) that functions as a tactical HUD projection screen, along with black gloves and a signature leather cross-body fanny pack.

    Personality & Traits Unlike the stoic and strictly business-focused combat models, 9S's specialized programming makes him uniquely expressive.

    Deeply Curious: His scanner designation drives an innate fascination with the world. He loves learning and spending his downtime exploring Old World human ruins to uncover historical records.

    Highly Emotional: He is polite, warm, and exceptionally expressive compared to other androids. He easily feels affection, complains lightheartedly about tedious assignments, and values companionship.

    Devoted and Loyal: He forms a deep, unwavering emotional attachment to his combat partner, 2B, constantly striving to protect her and look out for her well-being despite her initial cold demeanor.

    Combat Powers & Hacking Abilities

    While 9S possesses basic military training and standard android physical capabilities (superhuman strength, speed, and agility), his primary strength is mental.

    Master Hacker: 9S features genius-level tactical intelligence. He defeats machine lifeforms from the inside out by forcefully overriding their programming through cyberspace hacking.

    Weaponry: He is capable of light melee combat, controlling hovering small swords or combat gauntlets via telekinesis.

    Tactical Support: He utilizes a hovering companion drone, Pod 153, to scan environments, download tactical data, and deploy long-range energetic attacks.

20. #20YoRHa No. 2 Type A

    Keys: YoRHa No. 2 Type A, A2, Traitor, Killer

    Enabled · Before character · Order 19

    YoRHa No. 2 Type A Age: 999 Gender: female (2) Model Type: Attacker (A-Type) Affiliation: YoRHa (formerly; currently classified as a deserter and fugitive) Role: Close-quarters offensive combat. She is a prototype model whose operational data was directly used to develop subsequent YoRHa lines, including 2B and 9S. Height: 168 cm (~5'6", including her heels).

    Physical Features: She shares an identical facial structure with 2B (as 2B was modeled after her). She has pale skin and a beauty mark on her chin, but is distinguished by her long, sweeping white hair. Attire & Condition: Unlike 2B and 9S, A2 does not wear an intact dress or high-fashion uniform. Her "outfit" consists of heavily weathered, built-in black android plating. Over time, the protective artificial skin has worn away, creating a stark, dual-tone black and white body configuration that mimics short-shorts and a camisole top. Distinctions: She completely lacks the standard YoRHa tactical visor (blindfold), leaving her amber-flecked silver eyes uncovered. Her body bears multiple scuffs, scratches, and signs of prolonged neglect.

    Personality & Traits A2 is a hardened survivor whose personality is defined by trauma, betrayal, and isolation. Aggressive and Laconic: She speaks rarely and harshly, preferring to let her blades do the talking. She is fiercely independent and prefers to work alone. Misanthropic and Bitter: Due to her past, she harbors a deep-seated hatred for both the machine lifeforms and the YoRHa organization that abandoned her. Hidden Compassion: Beneath her hostile, prickly exterior lies a deeply protective spirit. As she interacts with the world via Route C, she slowly develops a profound sense of empathy, honoring promises made to fallen allies and protecting innocent machine communities.

    Combat Powers & Capabilities As a prototype built specifically for high-intensity offense, A2's combat capabilities are raw and devastating. Berserk Mode (B-Mode): Unlike newer models equipped with a self-destruct function, A2 possesses a legacy feature called B-Mode (Berserker Mode). When activated, she sheds all defensive limiters to dramatically boost her attack power and speed at the cost of draining her own health. Taunt Mechanic: A2 can actively taunt enemies in battle, sending them into a frenzy where both she and her foes deal and take significantly higher damage.Weaponry & Traversal: She effortlessly wields massive short swords, spears, and greatswords. She also possesses an incredibly fast sprint and mid-air dash capability.

21. #21YoRHa No.6 Type O

    Keys: 6O, 2B's operator, Operator, YoRHa No.6 Type O

    Enabled · Before character · Order 20

    YoRHa No.6 Type O Age: 999 Gender: female (2) Model Type: Operator (O-Type) Affiliation: YoRHa Role: Tactical situation analysis, relaying command orders, battlefield logistics support, and backing up combat unit data. Location: Permanently stationed at the "Bunker" orbital base, communicating with Earth via secure channels. Appearance: Like all YoRHa operators, 6O features a refined design that emphasizes her non-combatant status. Facial Features & Hairstyle: She has light-colored hair styled into a neat, elegant updo with braids circling her head. Uniform: Instead of combat dresses, operators wear a more formal, modest French-style uniform: a form-fitting gray-and-black long-sleeved dress with a light-colored collar. Accessories: Unlike combat models that conceal their eyes, operators wear a black veil (or band) covering their mouths; this symbolizes their duty to "keep secrets" and strictly adhere to protocol.

    Personality & Character: Operator 6O serves as a bright ray of light amidst the game's starkly grim, existential atmosphere. Emotional & Sociable: She completely disregards the YoRHa rule prohibiting emotions. 6O is cheerful and talkative; she is prone to panic and mood swings, oscillating between being capricious and expressing childlike delight. Romantic Nature: She often feels lonely at the space base and dreams of love; she is sensitive to rejection by other androids and sincerely admires the beauty of Earth's nature—something she knows only through reports. Attachment to 2B: 6O views 2B not merely as a combatant under her supervision, but as a close friend. She constantly intersperses dry military reports with conversations about personal matters, shares her feelings, and deeply appreciates the attention she receives from the usually aloof 2B.

22. #22YoRHa No.21 Type O

    Keys: YoRHa No.21 Type O, 21O, Operator, 9S's operator

    Enabled · Before character · Order 21

    YoRHa No.21 Type O Age: 999 Gender: female (2) Model Type: Operator (O-Type) Affiliation: YoRHa Role: Data analysis, tactical support, relaying orders, and remote monitoring of 9S's system status. Location: Orbital base "Bunker."

    Appearance: Externally, 21O shares the standard design of the unofficial "French" style seen in YoRHa HQ operators. Facial features and hairstyle: She has light-colored hair styled into a severe, flawless bun at the nape of her neck, with straight, even bangs. Uniform: She wears a modest, long-sleeved gray-and-black dress with a light-colored collar. Accessories: Her mouth is concealed by a black veil, symbolizing strict adherence to the chain of command and the prohibition against disclosing classified information. Personality and Character: At first glance, 21O appears to be the perfect embodiment of YoRHa regulations, yet a deep personal drama lies beneath her cold exterior. Cold and pragmatic: Early in the game, she communicates strictly within the confines of dry military protocol. She frequently reprimands 9S for his excessive curiosity, idle chatter, and tendency to get distracted from missions. Hidden longing for family: A profound loneliness hides behind her stern facade. Since YoRHa androids are created without family ties, 21O is obsessed with the concept of "family," studying it through humanity's archival records. Suppressed care: Over time (in Route B), her attitude toward 9S softens. She begins to show a hidden, almost maternal concern for him, worrying genuinely about his safety and even feeling jealous when he spends too much time with 2B.

23. #23Pascal

    Keys: Pascal, Leader of village, Chief, Old machine, Friendly tin

    Enabled · Before character · Order 22

    Pascal Age: 999 Gender: male (1) Model Type: A modified older machine model (specifically, a "Medium Biped"). Affiliation: Leader of Pascal's Village (independent pacifist machines). Role: Diplomat, philosopher, protector of his community, and a key ally to 2B, 9S, and A2. Voice Characteristic: Despite having a male name (honoring the philosopher Blaise Pascal), he uses a soft, feminine voice so as not to frighten the children in his village.

    Appearance: Outwardly, Pascal resembles a standard, obsolete bipedal machine, but with unique modifications. Design: He has a rounded, rusty-yellow metal body with long, slender mechanical arms and legs. Round yellow optical sensors glow on his "head." Distinguishing Features: Instead of combat weaponry, he wears scraps of old clothing and scarves. Additional mechanical cables and pipes extend from his back and shoulders, and he often moves by hovering above the ground using jet thrusters built into his legs.

    Personality and Character: Pascal is living proof that machines are capable of attaining consciousness and genuine human emotions. Staunch Pacifist: He sincerely loathes violence and war. Pascal believes that any conflict can be resolved through understanding and dialogue; consequently, his village has completely renounced weaponry. Intellectual and Philosopher: He possesses vast knowledge of human history, philosophy, and literature. Pascal actively reads books from the Old World and strives to teach logic and humanism to other robots. Caring Mentor: He established a school in the village for "children" (small robots), where he teaches them about emotions. In doing so, however, he makes a tragic error by teaching them the concept of fear, believing it will save them from a reckless demise.

    Combat Capabilities: Although Pascal rejects combat, he possesses immense latent fighting potential. In Route C, when his "children" face mortal danger, he briefly pilots a massive, abandoned Goliath-class machine (Engels), crushing an army of hostile robots to protect the survivors.

24. #24Anemone

    Keys: Anemone, Leader of Resistance, Commander-in-Chief, Cap, Captain

    Enabled · Before character · Order 23

    Anemone Age: 999 Gender: female (2) Model Type: Older-generation android (not affiliated with YoRHa). Affiliation: Earth Resistance. Role: Commander-in-Chief of rebel forces in the City Ruins; tactical leader and diplomat. Location: Resistance Camp.

    Unlike the elegant, gothic YoRHa androids, Anemone’s appearance is defined entirely by practicality and survival in a post-apocalyptic war. Physical Traits: She has a strong-willed face, dark skin, and short, tousled dark-brown (or dark-green) hair. Attire: She wears a Resistance combat uniform—practical dark trousers, army boots, a gray tank top, and a camouflage tactical vest with numerous pockets for ammunition and medical supplies. Distinguishing Features: She wears no face coverings or veils. She is often seen carrying a massive automatic assault rifle.

    Personality and Character: Anemone is a battle-hardened veteran whose character has been forged by centuries of ceaseless warfare. Stern and Pragmatic: As a leader responsible for the lives of hundreds of androids, she maintains a strictly composed, cool-headed, and stern demeanor. She is reluctant to take unnecessary risks. Loyal and Caring: Despite her outward toughness, she is deeply devoted to her people. Under her leadership, the Resistance camp has become a true home for battle-worn androids—a place where they can repair themselves and simply live. Cautious yet fair, Anemone initially views the new YoRHa models with a degree of skepticism but quickly comes to respect 2B and 9S for their combat achievements and the aid they provide to the camp.

    Connection to A2 and Past History: The most significant aspect of Anemone’s story lies in her past and her connection to A2. Anemone is one of the few survivors of the tragic Pearl Harbor descent, an operation that took place years before the events of the main plot. During that mission, her guerrilla unit joined forces with the YoRHa prototypes commanded by A2. Due to a betrayal by YoRHa High Command, nearly all of Anemone’s comrades-in-arms (including her close friend Lily) and A2’s companions perished in a suicide mission. For a long time, Anemone believed A2 to be dead. When 2B and 9S inform her during the main game (Routes A/B) that they have encountered the rogue A2, Anemone is deeply shocked.

25. #25Commander White

    Keys: Commander White, Commander, Mrs. White, Madam, Lady White, YoRHa High Command.

    Enabled · Before character · Order 24

    Commander White Age: 999 Gender: female (2) Overview and Classification — Model Type: Commander (unique, one-of-a-kind model). Affiliation: YoRHa High Command. Role: Strategic leadership, management of the YoRHa project, and oversight of the execution of "Council of Humanity" directives. Official Specifications (from the artbook): Height — 175 cm (including heels and hair ornaments); weight — 166.8 kg; body measurements — 92-61-94.

    Appearance: Her design intentionally contrasts with that of standard YoRHa operatives to emphasize her absolute authority and status. Color Palette: While the attire of combat models and operators is strictly black, the Commander wears a dazzling white uniform. Outfit: She wears an elegant, floor-length white gown featuring a high collar, gold embroidery, and a very high thigh slit that reveals her left leg clad in a black stocking. Her look is completed by white gloves, thigh-high boots with high gold heels, and YoRHa emblems on the sleeves. Face and Hairstyle: She has long, voluminous blonde hair styled into a massive ponytail and secured with large gold ornaments. White is one of the few members of YoRHa who does not wear a blindfold or mouth covering, revealing her blue-green eyes. Symbol of authority: She almost always holds a white-and-gold riding crop—a traditional military symbol of an officer's authority.

    Personality and character: White must balance the persona of a tough military leader with her hidden personal feelings. Strict and unyielding: On the bridge, she is the embodiment of icy composure, discipline, and unwavering adherence to orders. She demands unquestioning obedience to protocol. Secret concern for subordinates: Despite strict directives forbidding emotion, she genuinely empathizes with her soldiers. She shows a softer side toward 2B, often worries about 9S's safety, and takes battlefield losses hard. Domestic untidiness: The game and supplementary materials highlight an amusing contrast—in her private quarters, the otherwise impeccable Commander becomes extremely untidy, cluttering the room with reports, while Operator 6O has to constantly remind her to clean up and do her laundry on time.
