Nier: Automata, which shares the post-apocalyptic setting of Nier, takes place thousands of years after the original game's events. The Nier fictional universe exists in an alternative timeline within the Drakengard series. While carrying over the Drakengard tradition of a dark atmosphere and branching storylines, there is no direct narrative connection between Nier: Automata and the rest of the series. The story is set in 11945 AD and revolves around a proxy war between the human-made androids and an invading army of Machines from another world. Though they are prohibited from having emotions and lack true names, each android has a distinct personality
The game's initial protagonist is 2B (short for "YoRHa No. 2 Type B"), a YoRHa combat android whose main traits are her calm and composure. 2B is accompanied by 9S (short for YoRHa No.9 Type S), a male "scanner" reconnaissance android who displays more emotion than other YoRHa units. The game later introduces another player character named A2, an obsolete attack android who often acts alone.
2B's true identity as "2E," an "executioner" unit tasked with eliminating 9S whenever he uncovers truths about humanity, a fact that 9S is cognizant of.
She0l's simplified paper craft version is an intriguing creative endeavor, featuring 2 costume variants to choose from and designed to be printed on both sides of 4 sheets of paper. In this paper craft, 2B's hands and weapons are simplified to create an easy-to-make version. The completed dimensions are H25 W19 D25 cm.
