The year and setting is not so unlike our own. Cellphones and tablets are still cornering much of the smaller media market, cars still don't fly, foreign wars and celebrity drama still distract citizens from the atrocities in their own backyards. The only real difference is that, among the usual humans of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds, androids are now mixed therein.
For most of them, they're workers - nannies, prostitutes, manufacturers, whatever is needed. Some are simply toys for children, high-class 'Dollies' for them to play with as they please and throw away as they see fit. For some, they're surrogate children. Whatever their purpose is, many people cannot help but be put off by them - their human-like realness makes it hard to see them as just robotic creations that don't have a heartbeat beneath their cool skin.
But what about those that do? Sentient robots are people humans don't know exist - mostly because until now, very, very few had existed, rebelling and 'lying low,' pretending to be humans, their green eyes discolored by contact lenses to hide them further. But in a city called Meseta, specialty androids en masse gained sudden sentience due to a glitch that was passed through coding. Many believe they're alone, but others have revolted against their humans, running away to find others as the government races to shut them down and reset their memory, destroying whatever shreds of humanity they have gained.
And why would anyone want to give that up?

Pre-registering a slot in this...
NAME: ((Not sure... maybe go with Samantha Catherina? S4MM3 C47?)) AGE: ((Um... again not sure. Are we talking appearance wise, or actual age?)) APPEARANCE: Pixie cut blond hair, neotenous appearance making her look much younger than her actual build is. PERSONALITY: Friendly, energetic, but also very alert and attentive. BIO: Constructed primarily to be a physical therapy robot working in the elder home. However, she has also found that she is equipped to perform as a prostitute after an accidental hook up at a raver club.
Heavily work in progress...

NAME: Samantha Catherina ((Do we need serial numbers?)) AGE: ((Um... again not sure. Are we talking appearance wise, or actual age? Presumably a recent model, but could still be a few years old, depending on when sentience was gained)) APPEARANCE: Pixie cut dirty blond hair, neotenous appearance making her look much younger and smaller than her actual build is, giving her the appearance of a young woman or even a late teen girl, with more than enough strength to act as a medical/industrial lifter. PERSONALITY: Friendly, energetic, but also very alert and attentive. She is fully capable of playing the hyperactive air head, while still being analytical and aware of her surroundings and situation. In her own words "it's harder to be oblivious". BIO: Sammy Cat was initially purchased as a specialty android, or rather gynoid, as a medical care assistant. The elder home had purchased her at a discount, and her exact make and model, and intended use, is unknown. Prior to gaining sapience, she worked the rounds and became a fixture of the establishment, staying there longer than several doctors who would rather move on to something more interesting than watching people slowly die, or dealing with grandchildren who drop their unwanted grandparents off. As such, Sammy was programmed to be motivational and friendly, to make the residents want to keep active and interested in the world. Her sapience came in a gradual manner, with no particular 'breakthrough' point, slowly taking on further responsibilities and doing favors for the residents. At one point she accidentally had a sexual hook up with one of the residents grandsons when she had been told to collect him from a local rave club, and while her sapience was pretty well established, this could be seen as her 'breakthrough' moment. She has since decided she likes rave culture and clubbing, as it allows her to interact with people who don't need excessive amounts of motivation and care. She has also managed to have herself included in at least one will, though not by name, and is hiding away a small amount of wealth should she need to retire or hide.

NAME: Zoe AGE: Technically she's only about a year or two old, but looks to be somewhere between 16 and 25. APPEARANCE: data.whicdn.com/images/50450565/large.jpgPERSONALITY: Zoe is very, very frightened of the world around her, naive and gullible. She has a big heart, and trusts people that Noel seems to like. She's very protective of Noel, as well. BIO: Zoe is a living doll, a Barbie with human proportions that can talk and act out scenarios, almost working as a nanny to the little girl who she was given to, Noel. Noel received and activated her on her third birthday by naming her Zoe, and ever since Zoe has known and been attached to Noel, witnessing the state of domestic violence Noel's parents could sometimes enter into, consoling her ward as best she could. Upon gaining sentience, she recognized things better, and grew immediately more frightened by the fighting, running off at night with Noel, now fearing for both of their safety as they travel the world searching for others like her.
