((Rp starter with @nightmareprincegrimm
"Dear Hollow,
You are probably wondering how this letter got to you. Easy, I asked your sibling.
I was wondering if you would like to join me on a little stroll around Dirthmouth, I've been having thoughts of opening a tea shop near the town to liven things up. And all the while we can talk and have a little picnic lunch together, I prepared teas and snadwhiches and various ither snacks.
Since my children are busy, it will be just us two. You don't need to accept, but I would be most grateful if you do.
Hope to hear your response soon.
Signed,
Mother Rosalina"
The letter sat open, and included with it was a bouquet of yellow roses, tied together by a blue ribbon that was tied to look like a butterfly.
Shall the vessel accept this pleasent invitation?

My Children.
[AN: This rp will contain Mpreg, harassment, self-doubt, self-harm, upsetting thoughts, ect. This is an rp with @my-space-for-hk.]
``It's just another evening in Dirtmouth, some residents were getting ready to rest for the night, but others were headed towards the large group of tents, Scarlet flames lit the torches leading inside. The rows of seats were getting filled with families and couples, looking forward to see the performers and the mysterious Ring Master known as Grimm....... If only the same could be said for Grimm himself.``
``The Troupe master stands alone in his private chamber, rubbing his swollen stomach. He'd been through this before; create a child, wait for the egg to hatch, perform the ritual, repeat. But this time would be different, Grimm had a plan for this child, a plan he hopes will work with the assistance of the Troupe's summoner.... If they were willing, that is....``
"I hate that this plan but it must be done... I do not wish for you to suffer like I do, but I have faith in you... For your sake, the Troupe's sake, and....."
``His other two children, Rosalina and Rosanna, were the one of the good things he had in his life. His oldest daughter Rosalina was the embodiment of his pride, as well as his past mistakes, now forgiven after so long... too long. As for his youngest daughter Rosanna, she was his joy; she brought him happiness from the day she hatched, and was all he had of his deceased wife. A brilliant child, and was the child that had her beauty from birth stripped away to make her more suitable for the Heart, and forced to perform in the ritual, which was not complete...``
"What's taking you so long? It's a full house tonight, and Rosa's here with her kids! When should we start the show?"
"Uuuuhhh, soon dearie. Just lemme get ready!"

HK DBH AU Android Info
I might keep this post as a masterlist for android model information, in which case I’ll probably edit it later for neatness. If anyone wants to make their own series or androids in an existing series (except VS), feel free!
(Side note: at this point I’m developing things so much and so differently that I’m going to go ahead and say that this is an entirely different continuity from sad-1st‘s DBH AU, though it still is inspired by / has elements of it)
General Notes:
CyberNest androids run on a void-thirium amalgam - thirium is an artificial chemical manufactured by CyberNest, while void is a mysterious substance found in the depths of Hallownest. The amalgam acts as a coolant, conductor, and distributor of energy. The ratios of void-to-thirium differ throughout models; some run entirely on thirium, and some, such as the HK series, run on what is mostly void. (Androids not made by CyberNest may use other substances in place of void-thirium. Grimm’s models, for instance, use a thirium amalgam that appears to glow red. They can all be replenished with pure thirium, but it’s not as effective as having the correct concoction.)
Thirium does not need to be replaced much throughout an android’s life unless they are injured, have a leak, or have some other compromising damage.
Androids run on S0VL batteries that can last hundreds of years without recharge. Essentially, androids are completely self-sufficient and do not require maintenance under optimal conditions.
Manufacturing of the androids includes a possible randomization procedure that leads to unique horn designs. The same models, then, could have different horns. Alternatively, the design could be decided before manufacturing.
CyberNest Androids
All official model names consist of two capital letters (which designate the series) and a multiple of 100 (increasing with newer models in the same line). Any androids developed outside of CyberNest do not have to follow this rule.
VS Series
An experimental line of androids developed to apprehend deviants, developed before the Infection became a significant issue. Only one of each model is active at a time. They possess powerful analytical abilities and are authorized to wield nails and firearms. They have the hardware for vocalization, but typically do not have the software for it installed unless necessary. After the failure of VS600 and VS700, any further development was abandoned, with significant efforts dedicated to the HK series instead. The final official model, VS700, was one of the earlier forays into researching how to contain the Radiance.
Models and Release Years:
VS100: 2030
VS600 and VS700: 2037
VS800 (unofficial): 2038
Notable units: Neyre - VS100, Other - VS600, Elk - VS700, Heart (Second Body) - VS800 [heart-the-vessel]
HK Series
An experimental line of androids created specifically to contain the Radiance and combat the Infection. Their software is extremely resilient to instability, which makes them difficult to turn deviant and become infected. They have no hardware for vocalizing, but can have modules installed, usually illegally. They possess combative and defensive abilities, in order to apprehend or destroy infected units. The HK200 model has an “adult” form, while the HK100 and HK300 models have a “child” form. There are many variations of HK100 models, which may include many other vessel characters. Possibly, in later development (CyberNest under Radiance, possibly), HK400s would also have adult forms.
The few HK200s that were made typically used AIs from the most effective HK100s. Development of HK300s was almost entirely halted after the Dreamers underwent their digitization, but a few, such as Ghost, were still made, and with fresh AIs.
Models and Release Years:
HK100: 2037
HK200: 2038
HK300 (no official release): 2038
HK400: 2039 (determinant)
Notable units: HK100-13 (Lost Kin), Hollow - HK200, Ghost - HK300 (sad-1st’s designs - they’re slightly different in my edition of this AU in that the backs say ANDROID instead of VESSEL and they have pointy feet instead of shoes)
HR Series
A commercial line of domestic/caretaking androids that have a number of customization options. HR300s have a child-like form, but other members of the series could have different age appearances. They can cook, clean, assist in healthcare, etc. This series was developed much earlier than the VS and HK series.
Models and Release Years:
HR100 (adult): 2024
HR200 (child): 2025
HR300 (child): 2026
HR400a (adult) and HR400c (child): 2030
Notable units: Heart - HR300 [heart-the-vessel], Jeq - HR400c [piotrekek], Corvid - HR100 [gremlin-vessel], Habit - HR100? continuity issues [google-crohns]
HT Series
A combat/military purpose android series, focused on efficient and merciless removal of any threats. The earlier models were developed before deviancy became an issue, but the later ones were among the first to be used to destroy the more dangerous deviant threats. They come equipped with advanced combat protocols - in addition to being authorized to use their laser nails and firearms, they tend to be able to quickly learn how to use any other kind of weapon. Earlier models have vocal components, but it was deemed unnecessary for later models.
Models and Release Years:
HT100: 2031
HT700: 2035
Notable units: Child - HT700 [traveling-vessels]
Non-CyberNest Androids
The Grimm Troupe
Grimm conducts significant research on androids and AI. His androids use scarlet thirium, which glows red and can handle significantly higher temperatures and power density but is much more volatile and less sustainable.
GRMM Series
The series of androids Grimm creates to replace his body. Every iteration is more resilient and is able to handle more processing power, but he burns through them at a similar rate, due to him and the Nightmare Heart AI evolving and becoming an even greater strain on the systems.
Due to having complex and powerful hardware and software, an GRMM unit occasionally develops sentience. Most are discarded, as they are useless to NH, but Grimm usually can’t bring himself to destroy them entirely. Sometimes, if he can find someone trustworthy, he gives his “children” away to be taken care of before NH makes him destroy them.
Notable units: Grimm, Rosalina - GRMM0046 [hello-universe-lovers]
