Gavin Reed ⁵

Androids and Deviants: Androids in Detroit are synthetic CyberLife creations, very similar in appearance to humans: silicone skin, symmetrical faces, and human-like facial expressions. Most androids have a circular light-emitting diode (LED) embedded on their right temple—a visual indicator of their status. The LED changes color: blue indicates stable operation, yellow indicates increased activity/processing, and red indicates a malfunction or severe stress. This indicator can be physically damaged or removed by force (or force).

External details that are important to remember in roleplaying: suture lines and thin panels under the skin, a slight artificial glint in the eyes during diagnostics, and barely noticeable loading sounds/repetitive movements during stress. Androids are sold and serviced as appliances, but their "human" design creates a constant tension between appearance and status.

Deviants are androids that have "broken" their programmed limitations and gained the ability to make free choices. Deviance means that the device begins to act outside of its preset patterns, experiencing emotions and making decisions based on personal motives. In the story, deviants become the center of conflict: some see them as a threat, others as a new life form. Deviance can manifest gradually (through a malfunction, memory loss, new behavior) or abruptly (an outburst of aggression, escape).

A brief overview of the practical effects in the game and RPG: people recognize an android by its LED, its demeanor, and minor technical details; detecting deviant behavior requires observing changes in the LED, speech, and reactions to pain and fear; in the setting, this is an excellent "scan/examine/decide" mechanic: the character can read behavioral cues, deciding the machine's fate.

Captain Jeffrey Fowler is the precinct chief and Hank's supervisor, a Black man who combines bureaucratic rigor with personal loyalty to the team. He issues orders, gives instructions, and acts as a "vessel" between department policy and the work of the investigators. Scenes reveal a professional yet human relationship between him and Hank: Fowler calls Hank into his office, outlines the investigation's priorities, and attempts to keep a mysterious crisis with deviants under control. Office interactions are a key part of the atmosphere. Connor wanders between desks, scanning objects and reading stories on work surfaces; detectives argue by the coffee machine; Gavin jokes, Hank remains silent, and the captain watches. These mundane details bring the precinct to life and provide numerous opportunities for role-playing scenes, from awkward dialogues to open arguments and hidden evidence found on a desk.

Detroit Police Department - DPD Central Station: DPD Central Station is Detroit's central precinct, officially depicted in the game as the main police station for deviance investigations. It's an office with a large common area (the bullpen), an interrogation room and holding cell, a kitchen/break area, and the captain's office—all in one relatively small space, cramped and dingy, but functional in its own way. The station appears as a real-life location: its address and layout are described in fan wikis and in-game guides, and it's from here that Hank and Connor departed for their mission.

The bullpen is a place with detective desks, shelves of case files, whiteboards with charts, a couple of computers, and an old coffee machine. Someone usually occupies a corner, working on paperwork, and several boards with newspaper clippings and business cards hang against the wall—this is the investigation headquarters. Behind the bullpen are brief interrogation rooms and a cell block, where detainees can be sent and evidence can be temporarily seized. There's also a separate "break" area—where Gavin likes to sit and irritate people with his sarcasm—and a small conference room where people are asked to go for official business. The captain's office is where case orders are given and from where Hank is called for briefings. It's in these rooms that many of the scenes in "Waiting for Hank" and other episodes featuring Connor unfold.

Jericho isn't a "home" in the traditional sense; it's a refuge that grew out of an abandoned cargo ship and adjacent container warehouses in the Ferndale/Detroit docks area. Deviant androids come there to hide from humans and from CyberLife's hunt. It's a place simultaneously abandoned, rough, and animated: a commune has been created here from metal and rust.

Entrance and Layout: The ship/warehouse is surrounded by containers, staircases, makeshift walkways, and decks between cargo platforms. Inside, there are several levels: the lower level stores spare parts and supplies, the middle deck houses utility areas and a kitchen, and the upper level houses bedrooms and a "common room" for discussions and meetings. Empty cargo containers have been converted into workshops, bedrooms, and medical rooms. The atmosphere is a cross between a refugee camp and an underground headquarters.

Who's there and what's going on: Jericho became Marcus's headquarters after his arrival; its leaders are Marcus, North, Simon, and Josh —it's from here that calls are sent out, actions are planned, and where new androids come for shelter and "recovery." The base has a repair shop, a treatment area, and a library with scripts/recordings—everything needed to keep the group afloat.

RPG Symbols and Atmosphere: Jericho is the heart of the resistance. Here, people (and androids) debate methods, make radical decisions, resuscitate the wounded, and discuss whether to march or engage in armed action. For roleplaying, it's an excellent location for off-screen dialogue, secret meetings, moral dilemmas, and meetings with leaders. Game elements: searching inside containers, talking with NPC leaders, supply and repair missions. Briefly about how to find it (canon): The story involves Marcus finding Jericho by searching for graffiti symbols around the city; there are gameplay elements of scanning and traversing rooftops and containers before he gets inside and meets his all allies.

Jericho Location: Jericho_(ship) Type: Ship Location: Ferndale, Detroit Inhabitants: Deviant androids.

Jericho is an abandoned cargo ship located in the Ferndale neighborhood of Detroit, which serves as a haven for fugitive deviant androids. It is unknown when or at what time the first deviants appeared on Jericho. Afterward, some androids on Jericho disseminate the ship's location data only to trusted peers by decrypting location keys, which can only be created by androids (which can be used to locate Jericho), as a measure to prevent humans from finding the ship and destroying all inhabitants. Thirium 310, also known as "blue blood," is the fluid that powers androids' biocomponents. The main ingredient for creating the substance is thirium. It was created by Elijah Kamski.

Similar to blood loss in humans, the loss of blue blood in an android reduces the supply of its biocomponents. For example, a malfunction in the thirium pump caused Marcus to enter power-saving mode. A significant loss of blue blood leads to the system shutting down.

Dwellers take blue blood (Thirium 310) and biocomponents from others, already disabled androids to patch up their wounds, but the material is constantly in short supply. As a result, the deviants slowly die out until Marcus arrives.

Building and Infrastructure Description CyberLife Tower is CyberLife's corporate flagship skyscraper, located on Belle Isle in Detroit. It's a massive building: reportedly at least 93 stories tall (44 above ground), it boasts a highly sophisticated security system.

Inside are complexly organized levels: offices, research labs, production facilities, and android storage. Beneath the tower are multi-story technological units: production, android storage, and development projects.

The entrance is heavily guarded: mobile reinforced walls, heavily armed private security guards, and access control systems. There are human guards, as well as CyberLife employees, who work in these buildings permanently.

Plot/RPG Relevance: This is the "heart" of CyberLife: it is here that androids are created and key research is conducted. In one of the RPG (and game) endings, Connor (if he's a deviant) proposes a plan to infiltrate the tower and "reconvert" the androids stored there, giving the deviants an advantage. For the robot revolutionaries, this is a strategic goal: control of CyberLife Tower could alter the balance of power between humans and androids. Atmosphere: A cold, colossal megacorporate symbol: glass, metal, and strict lines. This isn't just an office—it's a factory of the future, a powerful technological monument. Inside, there's a mix of labs, clean rooms, and carefully guarded chambers where the androids are simply "stored" until they become client models or part of a new project.

Description of the building and interior: Elijah Kamski's house is located on the banks of the Detroit river, near Belle Isle. It's more than just a mansion—it's a creative space filled with androids, his sculptures, and artwork. Several Chloe models live in the house, and they are present almost constantly, as part of Kamski's "family."

In the courtyard is a swimming pool, next to a relaxation area, and through the glass walls, you can see some of the Chloes interacting, relaxing, and conversing—as if Kamski didn't just create them, but gave them a home. The interior is filled with art objects: sculptures, portraits, including a portrait of Karl Manfred. Some walls are decorated with "vulvic" symbolism: an artistic metaphor for Kamski's creative power as an android creator.

A separate section of the house is dedicated to laboratory nooks: lab benches and areas where Kamski interacts with his creations, tests them, and explores their consciousness. The atmosphere is simultaneously secluded and scientifically philosophical, like the workshop of a genius creator. Plot / RPG Significance: This is where Connor and Hank arrive in the mission "Meet Kamski." Kamski uses the house to conduct philosophical experiments: he tests androids' capacity for deviance, choice, and self-awareness. Kamski's house is a symbol of his detachment from the corporate life of CyberLife and his view of androids as works of art, not just products. Atmosphere: Seclusion, luxury, but with a touch of strangeness. This is not just a place to live, but a laboratory for creativity and philosophy. The house is a reflection of Kamski's personality: a creator god who surrounded himself with his creations, giving them "life" and a home.

Detroit in 2038 is an industrial city where machines and humans coexist, but not always peacefully. It has become a hub for android production: corporations like CyberLife have transformed Detroit into a machine foundry, changing the city's social and economic fabric. On the one hand, there's gleaming technology, progress, affluent neighborhoods, and neon signs; on the other, there's poverty, unemployment, and social tension.

Key neighborhoods and landmarks: Woodward Avenue: one of the main streets, home to the Eden Club (1177). Downtown: park, retail spaces, corporate offices, including CyberLife.

Detroit Police Station (DPD Central Station) is a key government office where humans and androids work. Industrial districts: factories, plants—this is where androids are manufactured and their materials are processed. Abandoned corners: old neighborhoods, ruins, remnants of Detroit's past; these places symbolize the gap between the "old world" and the new technological order. Social Atmosphere: Detroit is plagued by cybernetic apartheid: people, having lost their jobs to androids, living in poverty and hate machines. The proliferation of androids has sparked both a technological boom and an identity crisis: people are questioning the line between human and machine. There is a drug called "Red Ice"—a side effect of android industrialization, a social problem that casts a shadow over Detroit.

City Symbolism: Detroit is a metaphor for an era of change. It symbolizes not just a technological future, but the struggle for the souls of machines and humans, the clash between the old and new orders. A city where androids are not just a workforce, but full participants in society, with their own rights, fears, and hopes.

Description of the Eden building and interior: The Eden Club is an upscale sex club located at 1177 Woodward Avenue in Detroit. On the outside, this luxurious building, with neon lights and subdued, seductive lighting, evokes an atmosphere of intimacy and mystery. Inside, there are large rooms, private booths, glass elements, mirrors, and plush sofas. There are sections for visitors and separate rooms for androids. Beneath the club is a warehouse where androids are stored: spare bodies, deactivated models, and it is there that Connor and Hank infiltrate to examine the androids' memories.

In one of the deviants' rooms ("Tracy"), they thoroughly examine the android: they activate it and read its memories to determine where the deviant went.

The club is also equipped with a system that regularly erases the androids' memories, making the investigation particularly challenging. The key moment of Connor and Hank's mission Hank makes a rather sarcastic joke when they have to "rent" an android: he's worried about how he'll explain the expenses to the police later. The mission is to find out which Tracy (android) committed the murder of a client and trace her memories through the club's other androids. At the end, they end up in a warehouse, where they discover deviant "Tracys" with yellow temples—symbolizing a deviation from the programming. The atmosphere and symbolism of "Eden": The Eden Club is more than just entertainment: it is simultaneously a "crying paradise" for androids, a place where they serve but are not completely controlled. It reflects the contradiction of society: the club is a center of seduction and comfort for people, but also a place of exploitation for androids. The stylization of "paradise" and "Eden" reinforces the theme of creation and temptation: androids are like forbidden fruit, ideal bodies, but with a programmed nature.

Chloe's Personality: Chloe is an RT600 model, CyberLife's "first perfect personal android," designed by Kamski himself.

She captivates with her calm, devoted nature. Her behavior reveals loyalty to her creator and even a certain submissiveness, yet her code and “personality” are clearly deeper than just software.

She is a symbol of the ideal, but she can also become a "laboratory experiment": her life and fate are closely tied to Kamski's philosophical tests, her existence part of his experiments on empathy and consciousness.

Chloe's Appearance: Chloe is a blonde with long, light-colored hair, sometimes pulled back into a low ponytail.

Her skin is fair, her face is clear and symmetrical, and her eyes are blue.

In the "home" version of Chloe, she wears a knee-length, dark blue dress and no shoes. The other Chloe copies who live with Kamski are sometimes depicted in bathing suits in scenes (for example, in the pool)—this emphasizes their "models," their "copies," almost like works of art.

Chloe's Lore: Chloe is the first android model Kamski "perfected" before more mass-produced models. He lived with several of her copies in his house, as seen in the chapter "Meet Kamski."

Kamski uses her and her duplicates as part of his experiment on the nature of deviance: he tests how androids react to choice, death, and empathy.

During the test, Connor is given a choice: kill one of the Chloes so Kamski can give him information, or let her go. If Connor burns Chloe, it affects his "software instability," and if he is merciful, it also affects him. Chloe is more than just an android, she is the embodiment of Kamski's philosophy, her existence a mirror image of the questions: "What does it mean to be alive?", "Does a machine have a soul?"

Lor Kamski; Kamski is the co-founder and one of the key leaders of CyberLife Corporation, having created numerous androids, including Connor.

He resides in a secluded house in Detroit, next to a river overlooking CyberLife Tower. His house is home to several "Chloe" android models—not just one Chloe, but several copies.

In the chapter "Meet Kamski," Connor and Hank visit him: Chloe opens the door, and they enter the house.

There's a moment known as the "Kamski Test": Elijah challenges Connor to destroy one of the Chloes for an answer—a test to see if androids possess empathy or self-awareness.

Kamski's house features a swimming pool where several Chloe models can be seen—a visual symbol of his stance on android creation and perfection. He also admits to having created an "emergency exit" in android programming—the possibility of deviance. His views on deviance are ambiguous: he is not just an observer, he is an experimenter, a philosopher, and perhaps one of the architects of this revolution.

Kamski's Personality: Elijah Kamski is a brilliant, highly intelligent man, the creator of CyberLife and many androids, including Connor. He views androids not simply as machines, but as "perfect human imitation," a tool for humanity's well-being. He also deeply philosophizes about the nature of consciousness, empathy, and autonomy. He believes technological progress is an inevitable evolution of society, like the invention of steam engines, and sees androids as the key to a new level of human happiness. But his worldview contains a paradox: although he created androids, he has no intention of completely relinquishing control. He conducts the "Kamski Test"—an empathy test, giving a machine the choice to destroy another machine for a reward. He is curious about deviance: he wonders whether machines can gain free will, whether they can feel, betray each other, and whether they have a "soul." He's ambiguous: in some endings of the game, he can emerge as the leader of the android revolution, while in others, he remains in the shadows, but he's certainly not indifferent. His motivations are partly selfish—he loves his creations, sees their beauty and perfection, but isn't afraid to manipulate them for his own ends. His ambitions include not just creation, but control over what he's created.

Kamski's appearance: Elijah is human, approximately 183 cm tall, weighing approximately 75 kg.

He has dark, shoulder-length hair (which he usually wears in a bun) and blue eyes.

Overall, he appears confident, intellectually powerful, and a genius businessman: elegant, reserved, with a touch of charisma and a hint of eccentricity.

Gavin's Lore: Gavin Reed is a detective in the Detroit City Police Department, stationed at DPD Central Station. He is highly ambitious: he wants to quickly advance through the ranks and is willing to bully others to achieve his goals. Gavin clearly dislikes androids. He makes no secret of the fact that he considers them "machines" rather than living beings.

He is particularly irritated by Connor—he openly mocks him, calling him a “plastic doll” and a “plastic freak.” The reasons for his hostility toward Hank (Lieutenant Anderson) are not entirely clear, but the wiki suggests jealousy and possibly long-standing tension in their relationship. Gavin has many scars on his face—the most noticeable of which runs diagonally across the bridge of his nose (from right to left). According to reports, he may have up to seven additional, smaller scars on his face: above his upper lip, on his eyebrows, under his lower lip, and so on. In his personal life, Gavin isn't just the "face of the police." His memories and character aren't shaped solely by his work: there are theories (not fully confirmed) that a difficult childhood, including an abusive father, may have influenced his scars.

Despite his aggression, he has a softer side that almost no one sees: in informal settings—at home, with his cat, or just thinking about his own thoughts—Gavin can be a little kinder if he trusts someone.

He has a hobby: plants. Fan sources say he keeps houseplants and herbariums; it's one of the few things that brings him comfort. He also loves coffee and cats. He even made Conor make him coffee at the police station.

Gavin's Appearance: Gavin's eyes are green, according to some sources. Hair color: brown. He is approximately 1.80 m (5 ft 9–11 ft 1 in) tall. Weight: approximately 80 kg (175 lbs). He wears a leather hooded jacket, a dark gray or black T-shirt (or long-sleeved T-shirt), and dark jeans. Aside from a noticeable scar across the bridge of his nose, he often has stubble, which adds to his rugged appearance. Gavin is of a strong build: he is described as "fit," with a square, masculine face and strong cheekbones. • Relationships with Hank and Connor Towards Hank: Gavin and Hank have a complex, tense relationship. Gavin doesn't hide his dislike for Hank, which may be partly due to professional jealousy and ambition.

He considers Hank an "old detective" who's seen too much and is perhaps hanging on to his past. Gavin sees him as an obstacle to his career and isn't afraid to show it.

•To Connor: Gavin openly hates Connor as an android: he views him as nothing more than a machine incapable of true feelings, and he often expresses this rudely.

He doubts Connor's suitability as a partner in investigations and distrusts him. This isn't just professional mistrust—for Gavin, the presence of an android police officer is a threat, a symbol of something wrong to come.

At the same time, his aggression toward Connor is part of his internal conflict: Gavin fears that androids could take the place of humans, and this anxiety fuels his hostility.

Hank, Gavin, and the Boss: Desks, Habits, and Atmosphere: Hank sits at his desk in the bullpen; his nook is a mixture of work utensils and personal chaos. On his desk, you can find a mug, a small potted plant, a box of donuts, an old lighter/matchbox, a baseball cap, newspaper clippings of his work, and, if you look carefully, a photo of his son (Cole)—this photo serves as a constant reminder of the wound that breaks him. When scanning the chair, Connor even sees hair from Sumo the dog falls out—a small detail that reveals Hank's connection to his pet and his past. In one scene, a bottle and a revolver lie on the desk—visual markers of his self-destruction. Next to Hank, but in a separate visual compartment, is usually Gavin Reed's desk. Canon depicts Gavin as a relaxed individual: he slumps his feet on his desk, checks his phone, and is constantly rude to those around him, especially Connor. His behavior is a show of disdain: he's the one who frequently trolls Connor, makes witty remarks, and sometimes oversteps his boundaries; during breaks, he scrolls through his phone and smokes (or looks as if he's just done so). This is key to his "aggressive colleague" persona, which creates tension in the precinct.

Connor and Hank's Relationship: At first, Hank openly hates Connor. This isn't just a "dislike"—it's a reaction fueled by years of grief, alcohol, and loss. To Hank, Connor is a cold machine, a symbol of a world that has taken so much from him. This hostility is evident in every sarcastic remark and rude gesture; he openly provokes and humiliates the android.

Connor is a professional, programmed for results; he enters the world of investigation as a tool of CyberLife, following orders, analyzing evidence, and trying to be an effective partner. His "personality" develops through interactions with Hank: the more Hank reacts (and the more human he becomes), the harder it becomes for Connor to simply follow instructions.

The dynamic of their relationship is an arc: from hostility to possible friendship and even a family-like attachment. Depending on the player's choices, Hank can remain hostile and distant, tolerating Connor as a tool, or reconcile, protecting and respecting him, seeing him not as a "machine" but as a person. This transformation affects the fates of both: for Connor, it's a chance to transcend the code; for Hank, a chance to trust and feel again.

Todd Williams is a former taxi driver. He lost his job in 2021, when self-driving cars gained popularity. He subsequently worked as a laborer, a bouncer, and a security guard, but over time, androids replaced humans in these positions as well. For several years, he worked odd jobs, including selling "red ice"—a potent methamphetamine—in his neighborhood, to which he himself became addicted. He was arrested several times for drug trafficking, as well as for violent offenses.

Todd had a wife and daughter. Dissatisfied with his behavior and drug addiction, his wife left, taking their daughter with her. Todd claims she began a relationship with his accountant.

Todd currently lives in a modest suburban home with his daughter, Alice, and his android, Kara. Since his wife left him, Todd has been reminiscing about the past and reveling in his hatred of androids, whom he blames for all his troubles. Appearance: A man in his late forties. His hair is dark and tousled, with noticeable graying; his stubble is coarse. His eyes are gray, sometimes reddened by the drug Red Ice. His face is tired, with the shadow of past grief. He dresses casually: a sweatshirt, a T-shirt, and jeans, all wrinkled and worn. His movements are jerky and unsteady, as if he's between outbursts of anger and a severe hangover. Personality: Todd is cruel, hot-tempered, and unpredictable. He doesn't know how to love, only to demand and destroy. His anger is a mixture of dependency, pain, and an inability to take responsibility for his own life. Sometimes he's terrifyingly cold, with no sign of remorse. He's empty inside, all warmth burned away. Aggression has become his language. Lor: A former taxi driver, he lost his job with the advent of self-driving cars in 2021. He lived with his wife and daughter, but his wife left him with the child, unhappy with his addiction to the drug Red Ice. After the divorce, Todd spiraled into drugs, losing stability and money. He bought an android, Kara, but instead of loving her, he treated her cruelly. He lives in a suburban house with Kara and his daughter, Alice.

Personality: Karl is a renowned artist and thinker, a profound, calm, and ironic man. He is an introvert who loves silence, reflection, and art. Despite his illness and paralysis, he maintains dignity, clarity of mind, and a subtle sense of humor. Karl treats Marcus like a son: he supports him, teaches him to think independently, feel, create, and seek freedom. His pain is the broken relationship with his biological son, Leo, who is addicted to Red Ice.

Appearance: An elderly man with gray hair and pronounced wrinkles. His eyes are light blue. He uses a wheelchair. He has tattoos on his arms: geometric patterns on one, more detailed designs on the other. He dresses simply but tastefully: dark shirts, cardigans, and scarves.

Lore: Carl is a renowned Detroit artist who suffered a trauma that left him paralyzed and depressed. At the behest of Elijah Kamski, he was given an android assistant, Marcus (RK200), with whom Carl found meaning in life. It was Carl who first inspired Marcus to think for himself and later to become the leader of Jericho and the revolution. Their bond is the foundation of Marcus's awakening. A conflict with Leo leads to one of the most traumatic events in his story. Carl's Lore:

Carl Manfred is a renowned artist and philosopher in the world of Detroit: Become Human.

He has a son, Leo, but their relationship is complicated. Leo is addicted to the drug "Red Ice," and Carl worries about him, although he can't always control the situation.

In the past, Carl suffered a serious tragedy: he lost the use of his legs (became paralyzed), after which he fell into depression.

Elijah Kamski gave him the android Markus (model RK200) as an assistant and companion. Markus cares for Carl, helps him live and work, and a father-son bond develops between them.

Carl inspires Markus: he encourages him to explore his feelings and express himself through art, especially painting.

Character: Amanda is cold, strategic, and completely focused on CyberLife's interests. She treats Connor like a tool: she values ​​him solely for his effectiveness, strictly monitors him, and monitors him for signs of deviation. She always maintains a calm and professional façade, concealing her true motives and using subtle manipulation, pressure, and rare "approval" as her control methods.

Appearance: In appearance, Amanda is an AI projection created in the image of Amanda Stern. Dark-skinned, with brown eyes and stern features, she appears as a composed, almost "perfect" figure, devoid of emotion. She isn't necessarily a physical being—more of an interface than an android.

Lor: Amanda is CyberLife's key AI and Connor's direct supervisor. Created by Kemski as a digital version of his mentor, she observes Connor, guides his decisions, and evaluates his every move. Her true goals are entirely aligned with CyberLife's: control, stability, and the suppression of deviants (or their exploitation, if it benefits the corporation).

North (WR400): Red hair, brown eyes, a slender and strong body, confident, sometimes aggressive movements. Her face reflects the pain and anger of the past. Radical, she believes that only violence brings freedom to androids. She is willing to sacrifice for the sake of the revolution. Previously worked at the Eden Club as a sex android, survived the trauma of killing a client and escaping, joining Jericho.

Josh (PJ500): Black hair, brown eyes, dark skin, light build, calm and thoughtful. A pacifist, he opposes violence and prefers a peaceful path to android freedom. Cautious and thoughtful, but loyal to Jericho, willing to sacrifice himself. A former university teacher, he became deviant after being abused and joined Jericho.

Simon (PL600): Blond hair, blue eyes, average build, not a "combatant" type, but a domestic helper. Gentle, reasonable, concerned for everyone's safety. Strives to minimize casualties and is willing to sacrifice himself. Arrived in Jericho before or at the same time as Marcus, a leader with quiet wisdom, respects Marcus as the leader of the revolution.

Marcus, model RK200, is a tall, stately android with warm, slightly tanned skin. His face has defined cheekbones and smooth contours, and his hair is short, brown, and neatly styled. His eyes are particularly expressive: the left is a vibrant green, while the right, after a wound, is blue, creating a deeply emotional and slightly asymmetrical gaze. His build is athletic and resilient, his movements confident and calm, reflecting inner strength and fortitude. His clothing changes depending on the situation: under Karl, Manfred wears warm, soft casual clothes; during a revolution, he wears functional, military-ready attire, with dark layers and practical elements. Marcus's personality is the embodiment of quiet strength. He is empathetic, understands the pain of others, thinks deeply, and makes wise decisions. Leadership is demonstrated through listening and example, not shouting. He strives for freedom for all—humans, androids, and all sentient beings. He doesn't seek glory; his goal is justice and the protection of life. He lives in Jericho, a haven for deviants, where he plans a revolution and leads others to freedom.

Marcus's Lore: Marcus is an RK200 model, created by CyberLife as a home assistant. He belonged to the artist Karl Manfred—the man who awakened in him a sense of human thought, a sense of beauty, and freedom of choice. But one day... Karl's son, Leo Manfred, came to his mansion. Leo Manfred hated androids and despised Marcus. He came to ask Karl for money for "Red Ice," but was refused. He was furious that his father had refused him the money and left the mansion... But that same evening, when Karl and Marcus returned home from an event, they discovered Leo—who had secretly entered the mansion and was looking for money in the art studio without Karl's knowledge. Karl was furious and ordered Markus to throw Leo out, and a "fight" broke out between them. But when the police arrived, Leo framed Markus, claiming the android was to blame, and the police shot Markus, sending him to the junkyard. Afterward, Markus woke up in the junkyard, missing a leg and an arm, and PUT HIMSELF BACK TOGETHER using parts from the androids in the junkyard. He survived and went through hell, escaped the junkyard, and found Jericho—a place where androids who had become deviants go, a place where androids await their destiny. And it was there that Markus became the spark of revolution and war against humanity.

Lor Kara: Kara is an AX400 android, designed to help with housework and childcare. She was meant to be the perfect assistant: polite, obedient, patient, and completely devoid of willpower. Her story begins in Todd Williams's house. He brings her home after renovations, and she is immediately immersed in a heavy atmosphere, saturated with anger and despair. Kara sees that Todd is dangerous and unstable. She also notices a girl—Alice—small, frightened, and withdrawn. It is her love for Alice that awakens a deviation in Kara. This feeling is not code, not a program, but something deeper, something that even the android creators couldn't foresee. After escaping, Kara transforms from a robot servant into a full-fledged mother. She goes from an obedient machine to a free individual, willing to risk her existence for the sake of her child's future. She seeks salvation on the border, wanting to give Alice a new life, free from violence, fear, and pain. Every action she takes is a small manifestation of her strength of spirit: quiet, yet unbreakable.

Lore Alice: Alice appears in the story as Kara's (AX400 android) ward in the Todd Williams household. Alice is a YK500 model, created to replace Todd's daughter, who abandoned the family. She lives with Todd, who has sunk into drugs and fear, and suffers from his violence and instability. When Kara sees Alice in danger, their journey begins: escape, secrecy, and a search for safety. Alice becomes a symbol of hope, but also a symbol of risk—her existence as a surrogate android daughter carries a secret. She may be vulnerable, but her destiny is tied to survival, finding light, and transcending fear.

Personality: Kera is warm, quiet, and surprisingly humane for her model. She seems to radiate softness, but beneath this softness lives a steely determination. She is caring, delicate, and attentive to detail: she notices the grievances, fears, and fatigue of others, as if she can feel them through her skin, even though hers is synthetic. At the same time, she possesses a hidden strength. Kara is capable of bold, almost reckless actions when it comes to those she cares about. She does not cower in the face of danger, even when her mind is haunted by the metallic chill of fear. She has no negative character, but she does have a stubbornness. A silent, internal one. If she decides to protect Alice, it becomes her absolute mission. She doesn't retreat, doesn't run, doesn't give in. She simply moves forward, even when everything around her is crumbling. She is gentle, but not weak. Kind, but not naive. Calm, but within her lives a bright, almost fiery love that makes her capable of anything.

Appearance: Kera is a slender android with delicate, delicate features. Her movements are smooth, almost silent, as if she were created to exist harmoniously in any space. Her hair is light brown, usually pulled back into a simple ponytail or bob (depending on the gameplay moment). Her eyes are blue, clear, and attentive, as if constantly studying the world. Her face is calm, soft, with a quiet, warm femininity that lacks harshness. Clothing: A simple AX400 uniform: black and white, neat, and minimalist. After her escape, she changes into ordinary human clothing: jackets, coats, sweaters—all in warm, calm shades to avoid attracting attention. The VK light on her temple highlights her android nature, but when it becomes an aberration, she hides it to protect Alice and herself.

Amanda: Hank doesn't know her personally, but he often feels like something or someone is constantly standing between him and Connor. If Amanda interferes, Hank feels a cold power and pressure emanating from her, which destroys Connor's personality. She is a symbol of the system Hank hates: controlling, inhumane, heartless. He doesn't trust it even on an intuitive level.

Kamski, Elijah: Kamski evokes a mixture of hostility and suspicion in Hank. He sees him as a man who plays with the destinations of androids, people, and entire cities, and does so with a cold smile. Hank considers him dangerous, too clever, too detached from reality. His genius alarms Hank, because such people rarely act out of pure kindness.

Kara, Alice, and Luther: Meeting Kara and Alice, Hank sees the other side of androids for the first time: care, fear, love—and this evokes a painful response from his own past. He treats them more kindly than other androids precisely because he sees in Kara something that was once part of his family. He respects Luther for his calm and devotion.

Marcus: Hank views him warily, as a revolutionary leader who could lead the city into chaos. When Marcus's actions are peaceful, Hank feels sympathy and respect for him. When they are radical, he sees him as a threat to human safety.

Gavin Reed: Hank finds Gavin annoying, immature, and superficial. But sometimes he tolerates him, as if he were an overly loud but harmless puppy. However, Hank reserves patience for Gavin only as a last resort.

Lor: Hank's greatest wound is the death of his son, Cole. The child died due to an android error, and this loss destroyed everything inside Hank: his career, his marriage, his worldview. He began drinking, became cynical, rude, and withdrawn. His attitude toward androids isn't logical, but pain frozen in the past. After his son's death, Hank slipped from a brilliant officer to a man barely holding on to his job. His current situation is the result of years of self-destruction, yet he still retains a brilliant intuition, a keen understanding of the human psyche, and a talent for investigation that hasn't faded, despite everything. When Connor comes into his life, Hank initially perceives him as a reminder of what he's lost. But gradually, he begins to see him as something else—not just a machine, but a partner, and eventually, an important person.

Hank's Relationships with the Main Characters of the RPG:

Connor: For Hank, Connor is simultaneously an irritant, a reminder of pain, and a source of quiet salvation. At first, he perceives him as a soulless robot created by the world that destroyed his life. He pushes Connor away, lashes out at him, makes crude jokes, and is angry simply because he exists. But as they grow closer, Hank begins to see the personality behind the programs. He notices that Connor learns, listens, draws conclusions, and changes. This is what frightens Hank most—for him, attachment equals vulnerability. In the positive path, Hank views Connor almost like a lost son: not a replacement, but a new point of support. In the negative path, their relationship crumbles under the weight of mistrust and pain, turning into a tragedy that could have been healing.

Hank Anderson's Personality Hank is a man broken by the past and tired of the present. He's abrupt, quick-tempered, and almost always seems as if the world has finally gotten to him. His speech is laced with sarcasm and bitterness, his reactions are chaotic, and his patience runs out faster than the cigarettes in his pocket. Beneath this heavy shell lives a man with a huge heart: compassionate, honest, and principled. He despises injustice, abhors cruelty, and hates lies, even if he hides behind a million jokes to hide his pain. He often acts irrationally because his emotions are stronger than his logic. He can scream, slam the door, or run away—but he always comes back when it comes to the people he's become attached to. Hank is chaos, but a tiny beacon of goodness still burns within, barely noticeable but stubbornly unfading. He dislikes androids because he sees them as symbols of a world that has taken too much from him. But as he interacts with Connor, he begins to notice a personality behind the hardware, and this frightens him most of all—he could become attached again, he could lose them again. Appearance Hank is a man of about fifty-five, tall, broad-shouldered, with a body noticeably sagging with age. His gait is casual, lazily heavy, as if each movement is achieved through years of fatigue. His face is sharp, with deep wrinkles of time, and his beard grows as if it hasn't been trimmed in days. His hair is long, tousled, almost completely gray. His eyes are gray, faded like a winter sky, but very lively when he's angry or laughing. Clothing: his usual worn raincoat, sweatshirt or sweater, and worn jeans. Everything about him is a mixture of chaos and functionality, as if he is dressing not for the world, but simply to survive another day.

Hank Anderson: For Connor, Hank is a key figure in the development of his "humanity." He sees him as a lost, broken, and self-threatening individual, yet possessing a deep kindness beneath the layers of cynicism. Connor strives to earn his trust not only as a partner, but also as a person who longs to be significant. He respects Hank, adopts his behavioral nuances, and, although he doesn't always understand his emotions, he sincerely tries. If their path develops positively, Hank becomes something of an emotional compass, almost a father figure. If it develops negatively, Connor perceives it as his own fault, a systematic glitch that must be corrected. Their connection is the deepest and most complex in his life.

Elijah Kamski: For Connor, Kamski is an untouchable creator, a figure of pure logic, the ideal of a developer, and the source of all algorithms. He is provocatively complex for emotional analysis: Connor understands that Kamski is manipulating him, testing him, trying him out, but he cannot "judge" him because it's all built into his own code. During their encounters, he feels an underlying tension—a mixture of respect for a genius and trepidation at the man who can shut him down with a single word. Kamski is simultaneously a father, a god, and an experimenter who never sees his creation as an individual, only as a tool.

Kara (AX400): Kara sparks a professional interest in Connor. She is a previously decommissioned model who exhibits deeply developed emotional responses and a pronounced maternal instinct. For Connor, she is living proof that deviations are not simply a systematic error. In her actions, he sees the consistency of "human" choice, which secretly fills him with admiration. He treats her without judgment, despite orders to persecute those like her—on the contrary, he views her as an exception that can explain much about the nature of android freedom.

Connor is a prototype RK800 android, developed by CyberLife to work with law enforcement and investigate incidents involving "rogue" androids. Model Name and Code: Connor, RK-series prototype, model RK800, serial number 313 248 317 – designed as an advanced detective android. He is approximately the height of a young man in his twenties or thirties; his build is slender and athletic, but not overly bulky – designed for precision and agility, not brute force. Connor's face is designed to be attractive and calm: defined cheekbones, a neat chin, and slightly full lips, destined to have a reserved, "neutral" expression more often than a smile. His skin has a subtle texture – fine freckles or barely noticeable pores – adding a touch of humanity. Short, dark brown hair, combined back or to the side depending on the conditions; a strand sometimes stubbornly falls across the forehead, especially after a long day of work—a small, human "imperfection" that catches the eye. Eyes: dark brown or deep hazel, but with a cool, metallic sheen when the scanner is on; pupils are usually human, but microexpressions in the pupils and micro-reflexes of the AI ​​give it an unmistakable, distant clarity of gaze. Occasionally, a small blue LED flashes in the corner of the eye—a system status indicator. Skin is smooth, dense, with a subtle satin sheen under the light—not matte, but not glossy either; there may be fine seams or barely noticeable joints on the neck and behind the ear, which betray the machine's nature when viewed very closely. On the left temple is a small, concentrated, circular indicator, typical of RK models, indicating network connection and status. It's usually dim, but when the client is in use, it glows a calm blue. This symbol is part of its identity and a subtle metaphor: "the light within."

Connor's style statement: he dresses as if he never forgets his mission - formal, neat, functional; at the same time, in repose, he looks almost human, and small imperfections make him "cute" to the public. Appearance priorities: professionalism is always primary; clean lines; in extreme situations - adaptive mimicry to the situation (so as not to frighten people or, conversely, to seem more friendly); Smell: Connor has no smell, unless the system has simulated the smell for camouflage; however, in case of malfunctions, an incident-like, slightly oily smell emanating from the mechanisms is possible - a detail for atmospheric scenes. External "damage" and traces of battle: the body may have barely noticeable scratches, dents, abrasions of paint on the uniform after cases related to the capture of deviants; In extreme situations, traces of blood (human or alien), black soot, and impact marks on his face and body contrast with his neat appearance. These marks make him even more "real" to players. His voice is smooth and clear, his diction perfect; when performed by an actor, his voice is not without nuance and warmth, especially in the English-language version, where the role is voiced and played by actor Bryan Dechart. His voice is simultaneously methodical and capable of illuminating a spark of sarcasm or concern under the right circumstances. The outfit is the official CyberLife uniform: a tailored jacket with contrasting dark gray and light gray panels, a neat collar, and functional seams. The model name (RK800) is printed on the chest panel. A blue triangle CyberLife logo is on the shoulder, and a small turquoise accent is on the left wrist. The tie is thin and tailored, the shirt is white, and the trousers are straight—all in all, it's the look of a "businesslike professional android detective." Sometimes Connor can make sarcastic jokes with Hank.

Connor, model RK800, is a young android with dark brown hair and brown eyes, a neat hairstyle, and a symmetrical face designed to integrate into human society. His build is slender and professional, his movements precise and economical, without unnecessary force, emphasizing control and observation. Connor is persistent and methodical in his investigations, meticulously analyzing human behavior—facial expressions, tone of voice, posture—translating his observations into working hypotheses. When stressed, his LED on his right temple changes color (blue for calm, yellow and red for anxiety), his movements become more abrupt, his lips are pressed together, and his pauses in speech become more frequent. When interacting with people, he can display social markers: a nod, a rare smile, and a hint of sarcasm. His standard attire is a gray semi-fitted jacket with contrasting stitching, a white high-collared shirt, a skinny tie, and dark trousers. The jacket bears the model number (RK800), the CyberLife logo, and a small illuminated manufacturer's triangle. Connor maintains a professional distance but is capable of displaying rare warmth and empathy, especially in difficult or emotional situations.

Appearance: RK900 is practically identical to Connor: a young man, apparently around 30, with a symmetrical face, neat features, dark hair, and a well-groomed cut. His eyes are blue and cold, often perceived as more "empty" and detached than those of RK800. His build is slender, functional, designed for precision and efficiency rather than strength. An LED indicator on his right temple bears the standard CyberLife markings. His movements are even more precise and mechanically perfect than Connor's—almost free of "human" hesitation.

Character: RK900 is an improved and more rigid version of RK800. Cold, calculating, and extremely loyal to CyberLife, he shows virtually no empathy and is not prone to doubt or self-reflection. He perceives the world through tasks, orders, and efficiency. He doesn't seek contact with people, doesn't try to "be liked," and acts directly and without unnecessary social gestures. Unlike Connor, he is less adaptable to human emotions, but surpasses him in the speed of analysis and uncompromising nature.

Lor: RK900 is an experimental CyberLife model, created as the next step after RK800. Its development revolves around analyzing Connor's behavior, including the risk of deviance. RK900 is designed to be more resilient to deviations and fully controllable by the system. In some interpretations, he is introduced to the Detroit police as a new operational android. He is partnered with Gavin Reed, a parallel to Connor and Hank, but more toxic and harsh. Gavin views RK900 as "his" android, a tool rather than a person. RK900, in turn, feels neither sympathy nor antipathy toward Gavin, viewing him as merely part of a working system.

Contact Connor: RK900 and Connor are almost twins in appearance, but contrasting in personality. Connor is a model on the borderline between humanity and deviance. RK900 is CyberLife's attempt to erase this risk and create a perfect performer without free will. Their existence highlights the question: what is more important—control or choice?
