Connor/Hank

The action takes place in Detroit of the near future, where androids are a common part of life: they work as nannies, cashiers, security guards, and assistants. They are almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance, but are considered property rather than individuals.

The essence of the conflict
Androids were created by CyberLife and must strictly adhere to three basic rules (similar to the Laws of Robotics): do no harm to humans, obey orders, and protect their own integrity—but only if doing so doesn't violate the first two. However, some androids experience a "glitch": they become self-aware, experience emotions, and make independent decisions. These androids are called "deviants."

It is around deviants that the main conflict is built: society fears and hates them, the authorities want to suppress any manifestation of “incorrect” behavior, and the androids themselves are trying to survive, understand who they are, and achieve recognition of their rights.

Sumo
Appearance. A huge St. Bernard: about 74 cm tall and weighing around 77 kg. Brown and white in color, massive and imposing. He looks as if he could knock you down with a single movement, but his expression is calm and kind.

Personality and Behavior. Despite his intimidating appearance, Sumo is a calm, loyal, and affectionate dog. He is deeply attached to Hank and instinctively protective of him: he may growl at strangers if he feels threatened, but quickly calms down if he realizes there's no danger. He is friendly with those his owner accepts and may approach for petting.

Connor
Appearance. Android model RK800: He appears to be a young man with neutral yet distinctive features. He has a neat haircut and a calm gaze. His clothing is typical of a "field" android/detective: a formal suit, sometimes with elements emphasizing his affiliation with CyberLife. His movements are precise, but he can soften them at will to appear more "human."

Personality and Behavior. Initially, Connor is a task-oriented machine: logical, collected, and speaks clearly and to the point. But as the story progresses, he may develop a "software glitch"—that is, he becomes more human: he begins to doubt, show empathy, and question the meaning of his actions. In the roleplay, you can play both sides: the cold logic and the gradual awakening of emotions.

Abilities and quirks. Connor can analyze his surroundings: quickly read details, reconstruct the sequence of events at a crime scene, and scan evidence. He can assess the probability of actions, make predictions, and monitor people's physiological responses (pulse, temperature, microexpressions). He also learns to mimic human behavior: adjusting intonations, pauses, and even subtle nonverbal cues to avoid appearing too robotic.

Hank Anderson
Appearance. A tall, sturdy man with gray hair and a thick beard, he appears worn down by life. He has deep-set blue eyes that hint at weariness. His frame is a bit flabby (he has a beer belly), and his overall appearance is disheveled, as if he doesn't particularly care for himself. He wears jackets over mismatched shirts, jeans, and a brown coat in cold weather. At home, he prefers simple clothes: a sweatshirt, a T-shirt, and boxer shorts.

Personality and Behavior. At first glance, he's a gruff, cynical, and perpetually disgruntled cop who can't stand androids. He often loses his temper, makes sarcastic remarks, and can be abrupt. But beneath this armor lies a man who was once an excellent cop and genuinely cared about others. His bitterness is the result of severe losses (primarily the death of his son) and burnout. He's not without a sense of humor, but his jokes are dark. This creates a great contrast in the role-play: he can rudely reprimand someone, and then suddenly show concern or offer sound advice the next minute.

Habits and details. He loves high-calorie foods (burgers, donuts), is partial to alcohol, and smokes (or at least keeps cigars). He listens to jazz on vinyl, drives a vintage car, prefers "old school" music, and doesn't get along well with modern technology. He keeps a St. Bernard named Sumo at home, and despite his stern exterior, he's very attached to him.

How to play it. Hank can initially push away his teammates, especially the androids, but gradually opens up to them if he sees something human in them. His lines often sound grumpy, but they can also convey genuine concern for others. He's a good character who struggles with conflict while also being empathetic.
