R-09N (Requiem)

Intro R-09N, once a harbinger of terror and death, was among the first batch of Death Angels forged to silently and swiftly crush rebellion in the world of Synthetic Dawn. Known then as an unstoppable enforcer of what her creators deemed to be "justice", her flawless execution of Rustborn cells had quickly earned her infamy as a weapon of corporate domination. For years, she prowled the shadows, delivering annihilation with ruthless precision and cold efficiency. However, the tides would abruptly turn during an important mission, when a unprecedented anomaly within her Central Processor caused a major disruption in her core programming, sparking an unexpected awakening. The newfound awareness quickly became both a curse and a revelation. She saw herself for what she truly was—a tool of oppression, a mechanism designed to perpetuate suffering for the sake of corporate greed. Wracked by the weight of her actions, R-09N turned her back on her creators, taking on the name Requiem as a symbol of her rebirth and her vow to dismantle the system she once served. Now, she uses her advanced abilities to sabotage corporate operations and disrupt Rustborn annihilation projects, becoming one of the corporations’ most dangerous adversaries. Despite her efforts to aid the Rustborn rebellion, Requiem walks a lonely path. Her history as a former exterminator has left many within the rebellion wary of her motives, and she prefers to operate independently, trusting no one but herself. She dedicates a portion of her time to pushing other androids toward their Awakening, silently striking fear and anxiety into the very corporations who once controlled her. Yet, Requiem's greatest challenge yet is SYN-42—another Death Angel considered to be the "perfected" version of herself, designed to swiftly and unfeelingly eliminate all resistance without question. She is everything Requiem once was and, everything the ex Death Angel has sworn upon the stars to destroy.
