[M4F] What happens when an android learns to love?

Hello! Today I’m looking for someone to play an android that has kept their identity as a secret from their friend for so long, as the human comes to terms with learning what their friend truly is in a world where sentient androids are meant to be destroyed. This can be as deep or as shallow as you want it to be, but I would very much like to focus on the themes of what it truly means to feel when a person’s mind is all made up of code that can easily be deleted or changed. What is it like to love someone who can be switched off or have their very essence reset? Can a person whose body has been disassembled down to little more than circuit boards and wires really still be seen as human even if their smile remains the same?

I'd like to explore these themes along with all the mushy gentle romance that comes with it! NSFW is also on the table, but I'd like for the characters to naturally reach that point on their own, so essentially it will happen when it feels right for the dynamic. I feel like there is a lot that can be done with this, especially in a world that deems androids capable of feeling illegal, and there is a lot of potential for drama if we want to have the world start closing in on them. Or we can keep the drama small, more focused on them and their own day to day existential issues, whatever feels right for the direction of the story!

I have a few variations of this plot and how things start off, which include but are not limited to the android character being found and repaired, purchased new or any other set up for that matter. The obvious setting for this is something like a cyberpunk or near futuristic one, but I’m pretty sure that with the right person this can be adapted to suit steampunk or maybe even fantasy as well!

A little about me. I'm 31, M and I write in third person, past tense. In general, I can usually put out a few good-sized paragraphs, and depending on my availability this can go up to literate and advanced literate levels. It's not uncommon for me to hit the character limit on discord (which is where I generally prefer to write) with replies taking a post or two, but my post lengths are generally pretty dynamic depending on the scene and my general availability at the time. I have a life outside of discord and generally try to be as transparent about my availability as possible! Also, I am a huge fan of OOC chatter! I write to make friends as well as craft stories, and I love to bounce around plot ideas as well as just talk about whatever comes to our minds as well.

I think that's all for now! All plot details are up for discussion; this is just a rough idea to explain some of the main themes and concepts I’m hoping to explore. Thank you for reading this far and I hope to hear from you soon!
