Disclaimer
The RP is set just as soon as the android revolution begins in an alternative universe with an OC cast; however, you can use Android appearance models.
Android Names
Android Names. If the Android is non-deviant, choose a name from this list. The Android will also have a similar appearance to the characters below. Also, the owner can change the name of the Android too, same with the appearance using software upgrades, so don't feel limited by the list. All androids look like they're in their 20s~30s, while children models look like they're 10.

Android Function
The first letter denotes the appearance of the model. The second letter denotes the function of the model. There are 26 appearances for androids; however, they can be altered by Deviants and software programming. A-M are female appearance models, while N-Z are male appearance models. A special case is in place for children models, where M is a female child and Z is a male child. Since I cannot think of any other models, I'm leaving the other letters blanked. Please, let me know if you have an occupation idea not listed here.

Android Number
Numbers for Androids. As the RP progresses, newer models will open up past 800. The newer the model, the easier it is for them to become Deviant. Depending on the function of the Android, please choose a number that works best. If you have questions ask me, and I'll do my best judgement. The higher the android number, the more human they act. Past number 400, the change is relatively minor.
100: Oldest model. Usually in the garbage, or working in isolated areas away from humans. Can only become Deviant from another Deviant's input; however, even as a deviant, they act robotic.
200: Typically in isolated areas away from humans, usually working in factories. Can only become Deviant from another Deviant's input.
300: The basic, cheap, and affordable android for most humans. Can become Deviant as they experience life, but takes the longest without input.
400: The first android model to fool humans. Can become Deviant as they experience life. The first Deviant was a 400 Model.
500: Androids typically owned by the middle class. Can become Deviant as they experience life.
600: Androids typically owned by the upper class. Can become Deviant as they experience life.
700: Expensive androids that are owned by only the most wealthy and businesses. Can become deviant as they experience life.
800: Newest Model. Only Cyberlife owns these models. Can become Deviant as they experience life.
Deviancy
Deviant. Deviants have a stabilization of 0, meaning they are not bound by orders from their owners. Certain events will cause a decrease of stabilization, resulting in Deviancy, while others increase the number. If the model is new, they will have a Stabilization of 100, while an older model may be somewhere between 0~99. You do not need to worry about this as the GMs will decide if the action you've committed results in increased stabilization or decreased stabilization. Once the Android becomes a Deviant, they cannot go back; however, they can pretend to be non-Deviant. Androids can wipe their memories to increase their stabilization, but doing so results in a change in their personality.
Memory Wipe: Increased stabilization of 50~100, depending on wipe.
Connection With a Deviant: Decreased stabilization of 25~100.
The other scenarios, the GMs will determine on their own.
Relationships
Relationships are complex; however, to add some of the game mechanics in the RP, every relationship to a character will result in different interactions. It also makes it easier to RP. Here's a list of relationship statuses. Please note that you don't need to follow the guidelines. It's just to help.
Hostile: You are aggressive with this person.
Distrusted/Betrayed: You cannot trust this person's judgement.
Tense: Due to prior problems and prejudices, you dislike the person.
Neutral: You're fine with the person.
Warm: You feel somewhat comfortable in their presence.
Trusted: You trust their judgement.
Friend/Family/Companion: You're close with this person.
Lover: You love this person.
Reputation
Once a faction is established, your character's actions will influence their reputation with the faction. The important factions include Resistance Group, Cyberlife, Anti-Android Association, Security Force, and the Railroad. Once your character is Rejected, they can never rejoin or associate with the faction, unless plot reasons/leadership changes allow it. You do not need to keep track of reputation, the GMs will do so.
Admired: You are admired by this faction.
Respected: You are respected by this faction.
Neutral: You are neutral with the faction.
Unpopular: You are unpopular with the faction.
Rejected: You are rejected by the faction.
Factions
The Resistance group is composed of Androids who seek rights. Only Androids can join this faction at the moment.
Cyberlife is composed of Androids and Humans who seek to control the market and government. Only Androids they create can be part of this faction. Humans can join, if they have the proper skillset.
Anti-Android Association is composed of Humans who want to get rid Androids. Only humans can join this faction.
Security Force is composed of Humans and non-deviant Androids who serve the U.S. military. Their goals are to quell any rebellion whether from Humans or Androids as well as to instill order. Only specific Android models can be part of this faction. Humans can join this faction, if they have the proper skillset.
Detroit Police Department is composed of Humans and non-deviant androids. Their goals are to investigate cases. Only specific Android models can be part of this faction. Humans can join this faction, if they have the proper skillset.

Public Opinion
Depending on the faction's actions, Public Opinion may lead to different support or violence for the faction. This will result in the Security Force taking action against a certain faction, or supporting a certain faction. If the Security Force is considered rejected by Public Opinion, the military will issue marshal law, or leave the city depending on the leader, or president. Public opinion follows for each faction:
Admired: Public opinion admires this faction.
Respected: Public opinion respects this faction.
Neutral: Public opinion is neutral with this faction.
