CHARACTERS

YoRHa No.2 Type B

YoRHa No.2 Type B, also known as 2B, serves as the protagonist of Route A in NieR:Automata. She is a YoRHa android created to battle the machine lifeforms that have invaded the planet on behalf of the surviving humans. She served during the 14th Machine War. 2B is a blade of quiet determination. As a combat android, she does not encourage idle chatter on frivolous subjects and is generally reticent towards others. She also has high respect for the chain of command and rarely questions her orders, unlike her partner. However, 2B occasionally expresses a notably sardonic wit in the face of certain situations and can even be hot-headed at times.

YoRHa No.9 Type S

YoRHa No.9 Type S, also known as 9S, is the protagonist of Branches B and D in NieR:Automata, as well as one of the main antagonists and final boss of Branch C. 9S is a Scanner type android who served during the 14th Machine War. He has an attack function, but it is an android that specializes in investigative purposes—a member of the automated infantry squad, YoRHa, who triumphs in hacking-based information collection.

YoRHa Type A No.2

YoRHa Type A No.2, also known as A2, serves as the protagonist of Branch C in NieR:Automata. She is a prototype of the YoRHa android line, and combat data from her and her comrades was used to create the superior current lines, including 2B and 9S. She doesn't like to speak and often keeps to herself.

Pod 042 and Pod 153

Pod 042 and Pod 153 are tactical support units that are the standard assigned Pods to YoRHa soldiers in Nier:Automata. They are mainly loaded with various weapons for long-ranged attacks. These Pods display correspondence from the command center and exchange operational intelligence between units.

Eve
