Android 22
Name: Amethyst
Age: 801 (Appears around 16)
Gender: Female
Race: Android
Homeworld: Earth
Starting Planet: Free Space
Appearance:
Android 22 would be easily described as human girl were not for her porcelain-like pale skin and her unsettlingly soulless eyes. There’s not a single trace of emotion on her face and her voice is monotonous and borderline robotic. A machine wearing the husk of an human being, her resemblance to an actual living thing ends up downright scary when is noted that her big sky blue eyes seldom blink or she exhibits the completely unnatural way that she tilts her head to look at something or walks with heavy movements and an over erect posture.
She wears basically the same clothes that she wore when was found by Odrog in the junkyard, consisting of a dark brown shirt with big puffy shoulders and beige sleeves that go up to her wrist, and a beige west over her shirt and a red tie under the vest. Her stripped shorts are yellow and the logo of her beloved Red Ribbon is engraved on her belt, and her pale legs are covered by a long pair of brown boots that go up to her thighs. Her short hair is of a reddish brown and combed sideways, and on the left ear she has a ring earring that she knows that there is a matching pair somewhere in the universe and that’s very important, but can’t quite understand why.
Backstory:
Android 22 was found badly damaged in a junkyard on the edge of the galaxy by a Bas scavenger named Odrog, her datacore mostly destroyed by whatever she went through to end there. Being reactivated by unknown means (mostly improvisation and sheer luck), the badly repaired AI had lost most of the important data pertaining her personality and the only thing that remained were the core principles of her programming labeled “Code Red” which maintained only the most basic of functions.
The first directive of Code Red was to protect [NAME UNKNOWN / DESIGNATION: MAKER] against [NAME UNKNOWN / DESIGNATION: ENEMY / RACE: SAIYAN]. The second was to restore Red Ribbon [DESIGNATION: TERRAN ORDER BENT ON WORLD DOMINATION] . The third and most important directive was to gather the Dragon Balls and revive Commander Red [DESIGNATION: LEADER OF RED RIBBON / MURDERED BY: XXXX]. The Bas scavenger was immediately equated to the position of the “Maker” in an attempt to fill the blanks on the directive, so her loyalty to him was almost immediate and unconditional. Is not her place to question her programming or trying to understand why, only protect the Maker against the Saiyan enemy, help him restore Red Ribbon and bring Commander Red back to life.
Buried deep beneath her damaged consciousness are another set of principles that don’t dictate her basic functions unlike Code Red, but for no apparent reason are regarded by her AI as equally important. The first hidden directive says that the Maker is the enemy and shouldn’t be trusted, and the second compels her to search for Quartz [DESIGNATION UNKNOWN / GENDER: MALE] and travel the world with him. Lacking any other details pertaining those hidden directives, the AI concludes that the Maker may be planning to betray Red Ribbon and Commander Red and Quartz must be a key operative of Red Ribbon. Being compelled to question every motivation and objective of the Maker, she bids her time protecting him from the Saiyan enemy while searching for the Dragon Balls to revive her true master and bring prosperity to Earth, whatever Earth may be.

Roleplay Example:
The Android stares blankly at the empty skies, distancing herself from the group while awaiting further orders from the Maker. Social interactions were not judged necessary for the greater mission, and she couldn’t even be certain that her comrades were truly loyal to the cause of Red Ribbon and domination of Earth. Question the motives of the maker was not her place, but there was something in her sensing some form of betrayal, some kind of hunch without any purpose or logical basis that compelled her to feel hostile towards the maker even while doing her best to protect him.
And that’s when her state of confusion always begins: what’s the logical purpose of hostility? She was made to protect the maker and restore Red Ribbon to its former terran glory, not to second guess the very purpose that she was made. Was this hatred some kind of failsafe implanted during her creation or some signal of malfunction due to the damages she sustained before reactivation? Like a virus spreading through her programming were two completely illogical orders that even Code Red couldn’t process or even understand, and even though they didn’t seem all that important at a first glance, her cybernetic brain couldn’t help but hold those mysterious orders in high regard: the first was to treat the Maker as an enemy, the second was to find Quartz and travel the world with him. Could this Quartz explain to her why the Maker was the enemy? Could him explain to her why she felt sad every time she protected him, why every time she felt the urge to fail and let him drop dead before her?
Maybe Quartz could lead her to Commander Red and together they could conquer Earth. But what was Earth and why this planet was held so high a regard in her directives? Earth was her lair, the place she was supposed to restore Red Ribbon and protect from the Saiyan enemy, and that was the only thing that she needed to know. The Maker constructed her from scratch, but her master was Commander Red. And nothing on her programming urged her to doubt Commander Red, so everything was fine.
What if the Maker were secretly the enemy? Bringing Red Ribbon back to its former glory was the ultimate purpose that motivated her creation, so she would need only to hold to these principles to discover if the Maker were or not an enemy of Commander Red.
Until then, however, she wouldn’t mind if he suddenly dropped dead when she weren’t looking.
