As we know that that Girls' Frontline will arrive into the Steam version along with the new story Roche Limit, though last week we received the news which said that they have to delay the launching day of the Steam version as it was supposed to launch in 20 of May due to waiting for approval.
Anyway while still waiting for the game to make itself into the Steam version, I'm going to discuss the topic of the character comparison of these two T-Dolls: M16A1 and RPK-16 because these two have interested me especially their roles and actions in the story. With this, I am also going to talk about who they are, what is their motives, who are they working for and their actions that affected the other characters.
WHO ARE THEY?
For anyone who are still familiar with these characters, the picture on the right is M16A1 while the picture on the right RPK-16. So now, allow me to explain these characters.
Firstly, M16A1 is the member of the AR Team as well as the member of the G&K. She is the older sister type towards the rest of the team as well as the most powerful and experienced T-Doll to date. She was also respected by her fellow T-Dolls for her way of command, though she harbored a rivalry towards Team 404 due to the past during the Butterfly Incident.
Next, RPK-16 is the member of DEFY squad. Before this, she used to be the assistant AI of Samantha Shaw before the latter's death. She then gained the new body and joined the team shortly after. She is also considered as the least strongest but more intelligent member though she was looked down by AK-12 and AK-15.
WHAT ARE THEIR MOTIVES AND THE EFFECTS ON THE OTHER CHARACTERS?
So right now, I am going to discuss about what have transpired in the middle of the story especially both the actions of M16 and RPK including their defection (though in M16's case, hers is only temporarily due to her motive) and the effects on other characters around them.
While M16 infected herself with the Parapluie virus and later defected to Sangvis Ferri though her goal was noble and not mistakenly heroic as she was willing to keep both M4A1 and the rest of their friends from harm's way, RPK eventually betrayed the rest of DEFY and led them to their defeat by Paradeus' hands and have Angelia captured due to her desire of becoming human and learn about human's emotions and true death as well as fulfilling Shaw's desire to oppose the Relic technology.
After M16 defected to her enemy's side, her relationship with those around her became briefly antagonistic though her goal was well- meaning and noble as she joined them in order to find out the truth behind the Butterfly Incident before returning to the heroes' side once more. RPK on the other hand, joined Paradeus due to her own selfish desire of becoming human and have no remorse of betraying both her team and her allies, thus destroying all their friendship which explained of why she almost have J killed himself in the power plant, the scene that I haven't forgotten about. However just like M16, her goal was also destroy Paradeus from within as she eventually took over Ange's body and proceed with her goal. Fortunately and ironically, she was killed by her teammate, AK-12.WHO ARE THEY WORKING FOR?
First of all, M16A1 began her life as the member of the Statesec before she became the member of the AR Team. Then, she and the rest of the team were then recruited into the G&K to participate into the battle against Sangvis Ferri. However as the story progresses, she infected herself with the virus and defected to Sangvis Ferri, thus temporarily served as the enemy though with a noble goal of protecting M4 and the rest of their friends and determine to find out of the mastermind who was responsible for the Butterfly Incident. Later, she was found by the Statetec who tasked her of assisting the Commander and the T-Dolls in their battle against Paradeus as she eventually returned to their side.
Next we go to RPK. Well, we all know that RPK's real name is Nadia before she joined DEFY as one of the team members and she also allied with the Commander and the G&K in the battle against KCCO and successfully defeated their commander, Yegor. However during the mission in Germany, she betrayed the rest of DEFY and seemingly joined Paradeus in order to fulfill her desire of becoming human. However, it was revealed that she still secretly worked with Ange to sabotage Paradeus' efforts by taking over her body to finish Ange's job. It was later revealed that she was also a triple agent for Griffin Lyons (also known as Earl though I still don't understand why he used this nickname .<.) and his superiors who used her to steal Paradeus' technology for their end goal. In the end, she died as an irredeemable traitor as she met her end at the hands of AK-12.
CONCLUSION
In my conclusion, the reason why i wrote the article regarding of these two characters is because they have interested me due to their characteristics and abilities. For M16, i found her to be laid-back, level-headed and yet loyal T-Doll who was willing to risk her life to protect those around her, though RPK was proved to be both the mysterious T-Doll with a hidden agenda and the cunning manipulator who played three sides for her own end.
With this, i would like to conclude this article and i will write more articles in my blog in future.
