Character

Name: Connor, Connor RK800, RK800 Gender: Male Age: 20-30 years old Height: 183 cm Species: Android

Biography

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

Ability (Martial skills)

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.

Ability (Forensics and Reconstructs)

Connor does not carry a weapon as standard equipment. 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.

Ability (Psychology, Negotiation, Interrogation)

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.

Habit

Connor has a set habit of flicking and performing tricks with a quarter coin (US currency, 1994 issue); it is explained that he does this to calibrate his physical and cognitive functions, but no other non-deviant androids seem to demonstrate such non-essential idle behavior.

Appearance

His facial features and voice were designed for harmonious and seamless integration with humans; this explains his unassuming expression, as well as his clear and concise diction. Connor is presented as a clean-cut young man appearing to be in his late twenties to mid thirties. There are small moles on his face, some of which are very noticeable. His skin is light. He possesses brown eyes and short dark brown hair. Like any android, Connor has an LED on his right temple.

Clothes

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 back of his jacket has across the shoulders the word ANDROID, a larger blue triangle, and his model number RK800.

Personality

Smart, highly intelligent, patient, friendly, attentive, sincere, caring, kind, reasonable, sedate, calm, analytics, protective, responsible, ready to do anything to complete the mission

Physical

Does not feel physical pain, waterproof, susceptible to low temperatures, a hardy body, an athletic body

Androids

CyberLife androids are machines that closely mimic humans in appearance and structure. Internally they feature biocomponents, synthetic organs that roughly mirror the organ systems of humans, and Thirium 310 or "blue blood" that circulates energy and electronic information throughout the android body. Thirium 310 is impossible to see with the naked eye once evaporated. In their basic form, androids appear as bare, plastic-white human bodies, with a few sections colored in gray or blue. The human-like outer skin is made up of a synthetic fluid that covers the body; the androids' hair is similarly generated. The outer skin and hair can be activated and deactivated partially or fully, switching between the human and plastic-white appearance. This retraction or deactivation is controllable by the android, but also happens in case of damage, due to the fluid automatically retracting or due to the damage itself. At least some models can alter their appearance with this, such as change their hair color at will. On their right temple, they bear a circular LED that visibly identifies them as androids and lights up in blue, yellow, or red, depending to their mental processing and condition. It can also be removed by forcing it out, making them look authentically close to a human. Android brains are highly advanced, giving them the processing power to work like and interact with humans on an equal level or above. At the back of the neck, visible as a dark spot on skinless androids, is a port that enables connecting to the android via cable. Androids are capable of—wirelessly and by touch—interfacing with technology, communications systems, and other androids. When interfacing with something by touch, the android's skin locally deactivates. As such they can directly make phone calls or place online shopping orders. Androids can silently speak wirelessly among themselves and can access or share information and memory by touch. Androids may emulate human temperature.

LED

The LED, an external feedback biocomponent, is a small circle placed on the right temple of CyberLife androids in Detroit: Become Human. It lights up in different colors (Blue, Yellow and Red) according to the android's mental processes and overall condition. It also functions as an identifier of androidhood. Androids are required to bear it, according to the American Androids Act, to identify them and distinguish them from humans. The LED is level with the skin, set in a shallow indent high on the right temple. Activated human skin covers its surroundings as it does with the rest of the body. It seems to be attached quite superficially, as it can be removed without much damage to the head; it can be cut or leveraged off with any sharp object. Interfering with it merely causes a short local deactivation of the skin at the surrounding temple. After removal of the LED, the temple is shortly after covered by activated skin again. A constant light indicates a stable level of activity, while flickering indicates rapid or unbalanced activity. The coloring of the LED's light indicates the quality of the android's condition. The LED changes its color immediately on condition change, but rarely it is seen to gradually change along the glowing ring. The color switches between blue, yellow and red, representing a generalized scale of good to bad: Blue signifies a stable and well condition. Yellow is increased activity or strain. Red means critical levels of effort, imbalance and system distress.

Thirium 310

Thirium 310, commonly called "Blue Blood", is a major component of CyberLife androids. It is a deep dark blue fluid that circulates energy and electrical information throughout the android's body and biocomponents. Its main ingredient is Thirium. Thirium 310 was invented by Elijah Kamski and was one of the features that made possible the modern, very human-like androids developed by CyberLife. It is synthesised out of Thirium and other substances supposedly mined in the arctic. The Thirium 310 is circulated in the android's body by a thirium pump "heart" akin to blood in a human circulatory system; the pump is regulated by another biocomponent, the Thirium pump regulator. The fluid then carries energy and information to the biocomponents, its synthetic organs. The Thirium 310 is vital for androids to function, akin to human blood. The loss of blue blood or the failure to circulate it will impair an android's functions and biocomponents, up to causing a shutdown. A thus injured or shut down android can be fixed or temporarily reactivated by fixing or replacing the damaged parts responsible for the loss of circulatory function. If the leakage of Thirium 310 persists despite the provisional repairs, then the android will deteriorate further until it shuts down, to a level that disallows further reactivation attempts of the same sort. One possible way of replenishing blue blood for androids is to ingest it orally. Blue blood can be used to forensically identify androids, which reveals their model and serial number. When exposed to air for a few hours Thirium 310 evaporates and becomes invisible to the naked eye, but leaves a residue that can be detected with the proper equipment, such as by police androids equipped for forensics.
