Username: 2B
To the Mods: 2B is an android, so medical attention will be irrelevant to her; she'll need an engineer of some sort to fix her. Is it possible for her to download the data on the in game sign language and use it immediately? As androids wouldn't typically study technical things like that, similar to how you would download a language pack to your PC.

History: A Wikia link
Personality: There are many who would say that 2B comes across as rather cold and difficult to be casual with upon meeting her. Having a strong sense of duty, 2B is very mission focused and goal oriented; once she sets out to do something, it's near impossible to sway her from it. In fact, it's not uncommon for her to chide whoever is accompanying her should they start getting distracted from a shared mission objective. As a YoRHa combat android, 2B is practically built to be unafraid of risking her life, recklessly throwing herself into combat with fluid grace. Similarly, because she was created to fight, 2B harbours very little curiosity about the unknown or difficult to understand -- and there are a lot of those -- especially compared to the androids created to gather information, often voicing a lack of care for indulging in unnecessary or inefficient actions that are irrelevent to completing her missions. She'll be the first one to remind her fellow YoRHa androids that "emotions are prohibited"; after all, it was emotions that had caused the catastrophic failure of a previous mission, resulting in that rule being passed on to her generation of androids... or so she's heard.

In general, 2B has an air of stoicism about her. Rarely does she complain about her work, often reminding her complaining partner of the positive aspects of it, and is often silent on the multitude of thoughts she has on a situation. Despite being a combat android, where having intellect is 'wasted' on her, 2B has plenty of thoughts about the events she experiences, ranging from unvoiced complaints about how her partner keeps on yelling about sand in his shoes to pondering whether androids like herself have souls and an 'afterlife' if they truly died without a backup of their data. On the few occasions where even 2B is incredulous about what she is being ordered to do, it's usually expressed with understated sarcasm, like when she was told to deactivate the shielding of an enemy that is several kilometres tall, to which she responded, "Oh, is that all?" It's rare for 2B to be off balance, able to deal with a multitude of unfamiliar situations with a calm and practical attitude, so when she is, you know it's something really serious.

However, beneath that no-nonsense, goal oriented demeanour is a person who truly cares for her friends and allies. While she ultimately errs on the practical side of things, 2B will occasionally show hints of sentimentality, such as taking pictures of a flower for her friend who is unable to see it in person. She will go out of her way to help those she cares for with very little fanfare, though she will often hide her feelings with a veneer of professionalism, linking the reasons for her actions back to something mission related, such as taking time out to go fishing and claiming it is to gather information on the local marine environment. 2B is the kind of person who, rather than getting excited over something she is interested in, expresses her interest through a lack of rejection.

But when those she cares about are in danger, her walls come right down, her stoic demeanour giving way to fierce, protective anger and fear for their lives, despite androids having the capability of being revived by restoring their memory data to a new body. She will do everything within her power to save her close friends, putting her body on the line without hesitation. All those feelings and emotions she normally keeps bottled up come pouring out, leading to bouts of unbridled emotion she normally doesn't allow herself to display: Belief in her friends even the chances of success are slim, anguished shouting in the face of terrible injury, crying unashamedly when faced with the prospect of one she cares about losing the memories that make him who he is, they all come bubbling over when her emotions are highly strung. Even when faced with the suffering of the androids she is less close to, 2B demeanour is gentler, assuring injured YoRHa units that help will arrive soon and expresses grattitude to people who helped her get a good friend to safety when normally she wouldn't bother with thanks. But woe betide anyone who dares to seriously mess with her friends, because 2B will do everything within her fighting ability to fuck. you. up.

2B is duty focused, which is hardly a problem when she is created to be a soldier to fight. However, one of her lesser known duties is to execute her fellow androids at the direction of her commanding officer. And even though it pains her greatly to turn her weapons against her fellow YoRHa units, even though she has to kill the people that she cares deeply about, she will do it, over and over and over again. The true reason for her stoicism, the reason she will hold people at a distance because "emotions are prohibited," is that if she becomes cold and unfeeling, then she won't suffer the guilt and the pain of killing those she cares about. To her, burying all her feelings and emotions is her defence against all the hurts and pains she experiences and the only way she can bear the weight of her sins. It would be easier if she couldn't feel at all. But no matter how hard she tries to bottle them up, it always cracks, and the truth is that she desires companionship, just like many of her fellow androids. 2B craves emotional intimacy, but the pain of raising her sword and cutting down androids is too great to allow for it. So all she can do is be as close as possible, yet eternally distant, an endless punishment.

Abilities/Skills: 2B being an android gives her several abilities just by her nature of being mechanical rather than a bag of flesh and blood. This includes:
  • Being able to take greater physical punishment due to being made of metal. You're more likely to hurt your hand punching her than hurt her.
  • Not dying from blood loss if her limbs are destroyed.
  • Overall enhanced physical ability compared to the average human, allowing her to jump to and fall from greater heights, faster reflexes, more endurance to keep up high levels of physical activity, etc.
  • Minor regenerative abilities. Small wounds such as minor cuts on her synthetic skin will be mended by her nanomachines.
  • No requirement for food, though consuming certain food items can be deadly.

Additionally, 2B is also a combat android and skilled in fighting. Being a combat android, 2B also has the additional benefits:
  • Enhanced strength. She is able to easily carry at least 129.9kg (286lbs) and send machines of similar weight flying with a kick.
  • Ability to control weapons via magnetic fields. 2B typically wields two weapons at the same time, using the magnetic fields to perform physics defying feats such as throwing one weapon and having it rapidly spin in place while wielding the other with her hands. The weapons can also be dematerialised and rematerialised near her.
  • Access map data of her immediate surroundings through the 'blindfold' she wears. Map data will be limited compared to canon, as she will only have access to map data from other YoRHa androids and not map data from the Bunker's satellites.

However, because of androids' tendency towards mimicking humans, 2B is also prone to several human-like weaknesses despite being mechanical, such as being susceptible to suffocation. Her physical capabilities are also controlled by chips and circuits, which means if they become damaged, their functions become inoperable. This can range from losing the ability to control her magnetic field, or damaging her vocal systems causing distortions to her voice, etc.

Additionally, all YoRHa androids like 2B have an unnaturally strong love for humanity, which is implied to also mean that 2B will be unable to raise her weapons against humans, who are her creators. It is entirely possible that 2B may not be able to defend herself with force if her assailant is human, and may have difficulties turning down requests from humans.
