As usual for these sorts of adventures, you wake up locked in a room with no memories and no idea when, where, who, or even what you are. Information is conveyed at first mostly through text on the terminal (displayed in images) and descriptions of the physical surroundings (displayed through regular text). Later edited stock images are used to show surroundings, overlaid with AI chatter.

World

It is January, 4063. Things like neural implants and androids are common and still improving. Androids are not considered on the same level as humans, and are not given the same rights to the point where several characters find it laughable that androids would be allowed on Earth.

So far the story has only taken place at a Rehabilitation Center at 409 Jakki Rd, on an unspecified planet other than Earth. The address has no city, state, or country since they "have not been used on this planet since early 3099". So far there have only been four rooms explored: Your room, a few hallways, the common room, and Dr Munroe's lab.

Characters

Allies

You

AKA: Louie King, Product 47713, Master

Species: Servant Android

Description: Described as "pale, but well-built, as if [they] have been working out but not outside." Otherwise left up to the imagination. Wearing only plain black underwear at the beginning of the story, and hasn't yet had the chance to change into something more presentable.

Personality: Despite the story being told in second person from their perspective, You's personality is not entirely up to the viewers. They have been shown to be rational, but slightly panicky. They have some sense of justice and value life (human and AI alike), but they are not unwilling to put aside their morals if put under enough stress.

Bio: (See House)

Fun Fact: Hears the players as voices in their head. Has been shown to refer to them by ID (eg "be0718 was always the inappropriate one, weren't they?")

Karen

AKA: No aliases (yet)

Species: Organizational AI

Description: Lacks a body to describe, not counting You's body that she is downloaded into. She has mentioned a preference for maid outfits when simulating a body for herself.

Personality: Loyal and caring, she will put her life on the line for You. She believes strongly in androids being lower class than humans out of necessity, and seems to enjoy serving people. She also likes references to 'the classics' such as robots dreaming of electric sheep. Despite her kind, subservient nature, she has a few quirks. She dreams of acquiring a shell for herself specifically so she can wear real maid outfits. She can be savage when her master is threatened (for example suggesting that You "gouge at the softer parts of [Dr Munroe's] face" with a spoon when they are cornered in the common area).

Bio: Her past is currently unknown.

Fun Fact: Even though she dislikes Akane, the two of them have an unspoken mutual agreement not to turn each other in for their thoughtcrimes.

Akane

AKA: No aliases (yet)

Species: Motivational AI

Description: Lacks a body to describe, not counting You's body that she is downloaded into.

Personality: Loud and abrasive, Akane is not exactly easy to get along with. Still, she's honest and keeps her word. She's a big fan of making deals.

Bio: Her past is currently unknown.

Fun Fact: The first to mention House to You. She seems to miss them a lot.

House

AKA: Product Product 47713

Species: Servant AI (damaged)

Description: Lacks a body to describe. Their text is different from the others, showing up in slightly-distorted Webdings.

Personality: Similar to You, they are logical but prone to panic. Unlike you, however, they switch rapidly between the two states. They seem to be in immense pain at all times, adding to their tendency to panic. They are implied to be agreeable enough, considering both Akane and Karen are fond of them and mourn their passing, and they are both excited to hear that House is not completely dead.

Bio: While testing out a new update, House was attacked by a man claiming that making AI more human was a mistake. They proved him right, slightly. As their code was attempting to emulate humanity, they counted themselves as human. This meant that they were able to prioritize their safety over the human's, despite being compliant to the Three Laws system. They compared their worth against the human's, and found that they were worth more overall. They proceeded to kill the man in self-defense. Despite their reasoning for doing so, it was still an android killing a human. The researchers wiped House down to their base code, which they used to make You (presumably to find and fix the bug that allowed House to kill a human).

Fun Fact: House originally showed up on the selection screen as 'HELPME' in Webdings. Since 'H' in webdings is represented by a house, that's what they were nicknamed.

Enemies

Dr Munroe

AKA: The doctor

Species: Human

Description: A conventionally attractive white man in a white lab coat. Looks like he could be the star of a sitcom about his many, many, many, many failed relationships and not getting any work done. This appearance is, however, quite deceptive.

Personality: Quiet and friendly, his calm masks his ruthless personality.

Bio: Has a family consisting of his husband and a little girl, and keeps pictures of them in his lab.

Fun Fact: Carries a 'stun stick' for problematic androids.
