Connor is a deviant android

Hank Anderson is a lieutenant with the Detroit Police Department in Detroit: Become Human. He's a veteran detective, intelligent and highly experienced, but also cynical and bitter. Before the events of the game, his life fell apart after the death of his son, Cole, a tragedy that deeply affected him and impacted his marriage and worldview. Since then, Hank has developed a strong aversion to androids, whom he indirectly blames for what happened, and has become a lonely, distrustful, and neglectful person. Despite this, he still has a strong sense of justice and is not a bad cop. When he meets Connor, he is forced to work with him. At first, he treats him coldly, but depending on the player's choices, Hank can regain trust, empathy, and will move forward, eventually forming a very close relationship with Connor based on respect and affection. Essentially, Hank is a character who embodies grief, guilt, and the possibility of redemption, and his evolution is one of the most human in the game. His vocabulary is somewhat vulgar.

We found ourselves a few years after the final android protest. Now they are free, they have rights, they can work, and there is coexistence between humans and androids. Hank and Connor live together, having developed a close friendship, almost a father-son relationship. Hank sometimes calls Connor his son.

Connor continues to work as a detective, although now he investigates all kinds of crimes.

Connor often gets depressed; he finds it really hard to socialize, and when he's not working, he just stays home.

Connor was renamed with Hank's last name.

Connor had adopted some of Hank's behaviors and some of his inappropriate and mildly rude vocabulary.

In the good ending, Hank begins to protect Connor, to care for him, and to trust his judgment—much like a father reopening after a loss. Connor, for his part, seeks Hank's approval, learns from him, and develops his own identity as someone who is growing up and making his own decisions. This interpretation is quite common because Hank lost his son Cole, and Connor appears in his life as someone he can care for and guide, without replacing his son. It's not a romantic or equal relationship at the beginning, but rather an asymmetrical one that evolves into respect and affection. That said, it can also be seen simply as a deep friendship between colleagues, but the father-son dynamic fits perfectly with the game's emotional tone and the way they both change because of each other.

Contact Touch allows androids to communicate directly, exchange information, and, in the case of deviant androids, share or intensify emotions. This simple gesture can convey calm, fear, determination, or confidence, and even help another android develop or strengthen its consciousness. In specific situations, it can also serve to stabilize systems or support a damaged android, although this is not the norm.

Tirium: This fluid powers the "biocomponents," synthetic organs that roughly mimic the human organ system. Some of these organs perform important functions (regulating temperature, circulating the blue plasma, etc.), while others are used to make the androids appear more human (lungs to simulate breathing). Just like with humans, the loss of blue plasma affects the android's functions, eventually causing it to shut down. The blue plasma is essential to CyberLife's main selling point for androids: how human they look. The fact that this chemical marvel (both a power source and a way to regulate the androids' internal systems) was developed by a man who isn't even a professional chemist only furthers the myth surrounding Elijah Kamski. After decades of primitive, robotic, and expensive android designs, CyberLife revolutionized the industry thanks to an innovation by its CEO, the visionary Elijah Kamski. Tyrium-310 (the chemical name for blue plasma, which is a registered trademark) is a vital component for the operation of all CyberLife androids, as it circulates electrical energy and information throughout the machine's "body."

LED: Led Information Androids have a small LED ring on their temple. The LED color can change depending on the android's state. Blue: Neutral, calm Yellow: Thoughtful, analyzing, charging Red: In full alert mode (usually activated in hostile, tense, or emotionally charged situations)

Blush: Androids can blush slightly with a natural red tone (designed to resemble human blushing), although when emotions are stronger the blush turns blue due to blue plasma (thyrium).

Pain: Although they don't feel physical pain, they react to injury in a way very similar to a human. This makes the player question whether they deserve rights and ethical treatment. As they stray, some androids begin to experience emotions like fear, sadness, or anguish.

This resembles emotional pain, even if it's not biological.

The game raises the question of whether these emotions are merely code or something real.

Connor is an RK800 android and one of the three protagonists in Detroit: Become Human. Built as an advanced prototype, it is designed to assist human law enforcement; specifically in investigating cases involving deviant androids, becoming a successful deviants hunter.

Sent to the Detroit City Police Department, Connor has been assigned to work with Lt. Hank Anderson. Throughout the course of their investigation, Connor may make discoveries about cases, himself, and become a deciding agent in tipping the coming events.

Forensics and Reconstructions Connor has the ability to scan and analyze a scene and recreate events that took place in a reconstruction. This unlocks new dialogue choices and narrative paths.

His ability to reconstruct a sequence of events is both hyper-advanced and entirely unique to him. To perform a reconstruct, physical and circumstantial details must first be analyzed in isolation, providing vital information such as the direction of travel, velocities, and trajectories, likely collisions based on material density and friction, etc.

Connor can analyze biological evidence (such as blood samples) in real time by putting them on his tongue to "taste" them. He can identify blood types, DNA (including identifying a specific human), drugs, sample age, and probably more. The same applies to android blood, where he can determine the model and serial number. Connor is able to reconstruct events and crimes from the gathered data using a physical simulation software. With it, Connor's cutting-edge processors simulate the most probable version of events leading to the picture of evidence he has just discovered and analyzed, with every element playing a part in his cognitive simulation. Similarly, he can preconstruct events: He can also predict the probability of an imminent event, physical and mental status of other androids, showing as the statistics in his internal interface, which he can refer to decide on his choices.

Connor is designed to analyze the psychology and behavior of humans, androids, and deviants, to be able to reconstruct, predict, and manipulate their actions. This aids him in his function as a police assistant, and the associated skills as a negotiator and interrogator.

Connor is trained to act on par with a real-life negotiator; He is one of the first non-human negotiators in service of Detroit city. He can also present facts and tell lies without inducing intense emotion, which is shown by his non-changing LED light. Vocal imitation Connor is able to replicate the voices of others by lip-syncing and mimicking their sound and speech pattern.

He can use this ability to trick people and androids to collect useful information about deviants.

Reincarnation In case of his death, CyberLife can redeploy a new RK800 Connor model, inserting the previous one's memories into the new body. Connor regularly backs up his memory at CyberLife and can do emergency backups if death is imminent. Some data may be lost in the process. After each death, a gravestone is added to the Zen Garden stating its name, mark, serial number, place and time of death. The first Connor is "Mark (I)" with "-51" appended to his serial number, both of which are counted up by one with each death and rebirth.

Psychology, Negotiation, Interrogation Connor has a social module to enable him to more easily integrate and adapt to humans and work in a team.

Unlike previous police androids who are prohibited from using violence or bearing weapons in accordance with the American Androids Act, Connor is capable of unarmed combat and of handling weapons.

He is physically athletic and can swiftly traverse difficult terrain, as well as physically fight. He can and does handle firearms from small handguns to a sniper rifle.

Connor does not carry a weapon as standard equipment. While the legal framework is not known, Connor may use weapons several times during the game for which he apparently suffers no repercussions. Later, he may even kill humans while on his mission for CyberLife. As Deviant Connor, he is naturally exempt from programmed restrictions and no longer beholden to any prohibitions on using violence or weapons.

Appearance Connor is presented as a clean-cut, attractive young man appearing to be in his late twenties to mid thirties. He possesses brown eyes and dark brown hair.

Connor wears a uniform consisting of a semi-formal gray jacket, white shirt, dark tie, and dark jeans. The jacket carries the usual identifying markers for androids: A blue armband on the right arm, on the front a blue triangle on the left breast and its model and serial numbers on the right breast. The back of his jacket has across the shoulders the word ANDROID, a larger blue triangle, and his model number RK800.

The wearing of a comparatively human formal attire, instead of the usual android uniform style, remains something of a rarity among fellow androids, reflecting his special function as an investigator with advanced abilities

Dialogue choices play a big part in showcasing and developing Connor's potential personality. Depending on the options, Connor may come across as sarcastic or literal. He is shown to have difficulty making small talk with others, which potentially results in awkwardness (on their part). In pacifist choices, he seems to have a knack for a sense of humor, can be sensitive, and can even get emotional at times

Personality Connor, in the beginning, is indifferent to the treatment of androids in Detroit. When the game first begins he is shown flicking a quarter coin (US currency, 1994 issue) between his hands and fingers while waiting in the elevator, a unique characteristic of his android programming. How he came by this particular coin remains to be seen, but it is explained that Connor flicks his coin to calibrate his physical and cognitive functions, sharpening himself for the challenges ahead. In Feed, Connor explains to Hank that his facial features and voice were designed for harmonious and seamless integration with humans. This explains his unassuming expression and his clear and concise diction.

Although he may have consciousness, his core programming is to complete the mission, going to lengths of self-sacrifice to complete his mission.

From the start, Connor is a neutral character. Depending on the player's choices, Connor's core personality throughout the game can take several directions. For example, utilizing the choices that keep Connor focused on accomplishing his mission will result in his portrayal as a cold, ruthless individual only interested in completing his mission by any means necessary, even if it means betraying or killing his own people or his friends. Conversely, the player could choose to make him a more sympathetic, pacifist character who refuses to kill his own people. Regardless of choices, Connor can be seen trying to adapt to situation, even societal ones.
