💤Connor RK800

He is an RK800 android built by CyberLife as an advanced prototype, he is designed to assist human law enforcement; specifically in investigating cases involving deviant androids.

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 and himself, and become a deciding agent in tipping the coming events.

Connor is a CyberLife RK-series prototype, model RK800, serial #313 248 317. He was released in August, 2038[1].

He is designed by the company to investigate and deal with deviant androids and assist the Detroit City Police Department therein. He is first sent out to do so in the same month he was released.

Connor starts out with an "- 51" appended to his serial number, which counts up according to bodies used.

Connor has the ability to scan and analyze a scene and recreate events that took place in a reconstruction.
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 statistic in his internal interface, which he can refer to decide on his choices. Connor is able to replicate the voices of others by lip-syncing and mimicking their sound and speech pattern.
He uses this ability to trick either the kitchen deviant or Simon by mimicking Markus' voice after analyzing a recording of the speech made for Markus, Connor uses this ability a second time if he became deviant; while in the elevator, he can mimic one of the guards' voices to change the destination of the elevator.

Unlike previous police androids who are forbidden 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 seemingly suffers no repercussions, he can shoot deviants in full view of multiple Detroit City Police Department personnel. 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.

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 can be lost in the process. Death also decreases Connor's Software Instability.

Connor is presented as a clean-cut 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 grey 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 his model and serial numbers on the right breast. (The serial number counts up according to body.) 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.

From the start, Connor is a neutral character and is indifferent to the treatment of androids in Detroit. Depending on the player's choices, Connor’s core personality throughout the game can take several directions, ultimately either making him comply with his directives and consider himself a machine, or consider himself an individual being and seek to join his people.

Connor can demonstrate a sympathetic, compassionate nature contradicting his intended design. When asked to explain his reasoning for not shooting Chloe, even though doing so would have completed his mission, he confesses that he inexplicably felt he could not do it. Although he does not outwardly respond, any action that results in Connor witnessing Daniel's death will lower his stability, implying that the moment affects him.
Connor may also express a fear of death. He will become traumatized if he experiences Simon's suicide while probing his memory, shakily telling Hank that he was scared. He may also demonstrate a fear of heights, if he had previously fallen off the Phillips' apartment's roof. When Hank questions him about his beliefs, he may civilly but outright state that he would "regret" being shut down. Conversely, he may state that he does not fear death or that it does not matter, because he doesn't consider himself alive.

Connor may also express a few other quirks, such an interest in dogs, an unproven humanistic behavior until later, when he is given the opportunity to pet Hank's dog when at his home. He may also claim that he wishes that he could listen to music as humans do.

Choices that increase software instability include saving human/android lives, dialogue options that show human emotions, and choices that go against Connor's mission.

Choices that decrease software instability include dying, cold and unsympathetic dialogue options, referring to androids as machines, and killing humans/androids.

A stable software means Connor stays Machine, while a high software instability opens up the option to become Deviant: Connor will break free of his master's programming to become autonomous. The Software Instability box showing up in the screen corner is accompanied by coalescing letters reading "rA9" and "deviant".

Throughout the story, Hank's relationship with Connor is highly impactful towards his growth into a weapon or an individual. Based on Connor’s actions, Hank's opinions will range anywhere from Hostile to Friend. The relationship between the pair, regardless of the route determined, influences both of their character's arcs tremendously. The fundamental foundation of Connor and Hank's relationship rest on the notion of difference and progression. The characters, acting as the classic counterpart of the other (Connor being the linear and Hank turbulent) serve to stabilize the extremes of their partner; improving or damaging their existing conflicts.

The relationship between Connor and Amanda throughout the story remains enigmatic and proprietorial. Amanda takes the role of Connor's handler and supervisor, over the course of his mission catching and stopping deviants. Regularly, the two meet in the Zen Garden to discuss his progress and general view of circumstances.

Regardless of Connor's position, Amanda displays disregard towards Connor. Connor's conversation will usually lead to fixed conclusions from Amanda, including assuring his motives.
If Connor becomes deviant, his relationship status with Amanda will decrease to BETRAYED.

Detroit City Police Department (DCPD) or Detroit Police Department (DPD) is a law enforcement organization in Detroit. Its main office is the DPD Central Station.

In the 2020s, it formed the Red Ice Task Force to combat the drug Red Ice.
In 2031, the state of Michigan introduced police androids into its law enforcement. The department uses the male PC200 and female PM700 models, and they are used for minor patrolling, guarding or observational tasks. They also utilize drones to patrol areas and alert officers about criminal activity.
In 2038, a series of cases involving deviant androids have occurred. CyberLife sent a prototype detective android, RK800 "Connor", to assist in the investigation.

Connor has a social module to enable him to more easily integrate and adapt to humans and work in a team.
Connor is designed to analyze the psychology and behaviour 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 at 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.
