Question about replicants

Hey all,

Currently writing some cases for my players when we play the Blade Runner RPG.

Would the Nexus-9 replicants have houses ? The first case is gonna be a dead blade runner and a missing replicants (the replicant blade runner killed his human partner and then hidden underground) and im not sure if it would have an apartment for them to investigate and i couldnt find anything from searching or the source book.

For kicks, I painted a copy of the Drew Struzan's Blade Runner poster in Clip Studio Paint

Rest in peace to the all time goat of movie posters. This is both my favorite movie poster ever made and one of my all time favorite movies -- win/win.

I also filmed a speedpaint for this, but I sadly don't know how to put a photo and a video in the same reddit post. I did post it on Instagram though, so if you wanna see that or more of my other stuff it's @ ben_sturr_art

The one eyeball chick

is there more story to the resistance leader in 2049? I admit I’m being lazy and not researching before asking. The first time I watched the movie I was asking myself if she had some reference in the ‘82 film. And the missing eye, torn out by a blade runner, self mutilation to prevent recognition, war injury, (mechanical breakdown, lol)?

This K's quote at the end of the movie still hits me hard an gives me so many questions

Theory. The quotes of that movie are deeper than they appear.

Deckard: "You should let me die there (Spinner)"

K: "You did ( ? ). Now you are free to meet your daughter" (now that she died and is not dangerous to be a leader of a replicant army)

The common interpretation is that Deckard "died like a father" to K. But to me seems that something that could meaning a new pivot in the Deckard history died in the spinner.

For me it seems that the twins neurtralized one another. And the Deckard's kin died at that storm / snow morning.

This detail of Blade Runner 2049 can give you a new interpretation of the movie

https://preview.redd.it/w1p8l8c1ql1h1.jpg?width=1048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3513b7d7678bdd8c07bf05e5c0fa66ec74e2c12d

Around 59 minutes (when K says to Joy: "You wanna go for a ride?") is played a melody very similar to the one of the beggining of the song It Must Have Been Love from Roxette. If you pay attention the melody in the movie is slower but matches, like the song Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien in the movie Inception (2010).

"... I turn to water, like a teardrop..."

"... And it's a hard, winter's day..." (the snow rules at the end of the movie)

I think it is not just me that that thinks Roxette matches the cyberpunk / neuromancer ambience

So I keep the question if K had a blade runner twin.

Blade Runner fan art collection — stylized portrait studies

Big Blade Runner fan here, so I made a series of stylized fan arts inspired by the films.
Still learning, not a professional artist 😇
Would appreciate any comments

DNA Question - There was an easy way K could tell he wasn’t the child.

Concerning the scene where K is running through the DNA records of the child, couldn't K just compare his DNA to the child’s DNA? That would tell him instantly if he was the child.

According to the canonical description of Ana’s backstory, Deckard and the replicant freedom group “scrambled the birth records, making it seem that the pregnancy produced twins, a boy and a girl with identical DNA, and that the girl died young.” This would lead me to believe that the DNA is correct, just the metadata is mixed up.

That means the DNA in the archive is real, the girl’s DNA appears twice, one entry is labeled male, one entry is labeled female, and the the female entry is marked as deceased.

Because the DNA itself was real, K could have compared it to his own, checked the sex markers, run a familial match and reconstructed a phenotype (in a world that advanced), and gotten a rough idea of what the child looked like. Right?

He would have immediately learned the child was female, the DNA didn’t match his, and the ‘boy’ record was a decoy.

I only caught this during my fifth or sixth watch. Am I missing something?
