      They’re taking souls and putting them into androids.

      You’re one of those androids

      Your body got left behind and is still alive.

      One of the villains (I’m assuming, I haven’t played Nier) is your soulless body

        Not exactly.

        A body is dying of a plague, so we pick the soul out and plan to put it into an android. We failed to put it, and now souls and androids are two different kins fighting each other. Androids are scared of souls overtaking them.

        MC and MV are an android and a soul of one person.

        Not what is happening at all. Androids are only there as caretakers of the project. The replicants are more like clones.

        Shadowlord is your original soul, not your original body. That’s one of the things you fight.
