Connor aka RK800

Connor

Connor is an RK800 android and one of the three protagonists in Detroit: Become Human. It was created by CyberLife to help Detroit police investigate deviant cases.

Appearance

Connor appears to be a young man in his 20s or 30s. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Like all androids, there is an LED circle on his right temple that expresses his state. Outside the Chicken Feed Street restaurant, Connor explains that his appearance and voice were designed specifically to integrate harmoniously with people. This explains his unassuming facial expression and clear, concise diction. Connor changes his costume as the game progresses. He usually wears a semi-formal gray-blue jacket with two pockets, a white shirt, a black clip-on tie, and dark jeans held together by a belt with a metal buckle The jacket reveals that he is an android: he has a blue triangle - the CyberLife symbol - on the left side of the chest, his model is written on the right side, there are blue inserts on the sleeves, on the back there is the word “ANDROID”, a triangle and the name of the model. His costume is significantly different from other androids, reflecting Connor's function as a negotiator and detective and making him stand out from the crowd of robots. However, in the chapter "Crossroads," Connor changes his clothes to hide his identity: he wears a black hat and a dark jacket. In the chapter "Battle for Detroit" he returns to his original appearance.The upgraded model RK900, shown in the bad ending of the game, looks roughly the same as Connor, with the differences that the new android has gray eyes, a predominantly white suit, no tie, a black shirt instead of a white one, a high collar and a slightly different hairstyle.

Personality

At the beginning of the game, Connor introduces himself as an ordinary machine, which carries out the task assigned to him, showing little emotion (which is typical of deviants) and openly admitting that he is not alive and cannot be killed (in other words, he was not afraid of death). By the end of the game (in the ending where Connor becomes the leader of the deviant movement instead of Marcus), it becomes clear that some consciousness (deviance) was introduced to him in advance so that he could infiltrate the group with the others. This explains the programming glitches that happened to him when making certain decisions and his ability to become a deviant even without showing any strong emotions (which was the case with the others). At first, Connor's personality is purely neutral. However, already in the first mission, Connor can behave more humanly (show “false empathy”, lie to the deviant and try to calm him down), and more “machine” (blame the deviant, tell the truth and remain distant), which emphasizes Amanda’s words about his predisposition to deviation.

Personality

During the course of the game, Connor (or rather, the player) will make decisions that will affect his personality. Thus, the player can independently choose who Connor will be in the plot and what direction his personality will take. His character can become cold and ruthless if the player chooses to make Connor a real deviant-hunting machine, then Connor will carry out his mission at any cost, even if it means betraying or killing those close to him (such as Hank). In order to develop a similar character in Connor, you need to choose actions that reduce the software failure. If the player wants to develop deviance in Connor and make him an assistant to the rebel androids, then he needs to choose actions that increase the software failure: then Connor’s character will become more open, he will give free rein to his emotions, most often fear. Fear manifests itself in different situations: for example, if he gets to Simon on the roof and he shoots himself, and Connor at that moment is connected to his memory, then he will feel as if he himself is dying, and this will cause fear, or when he is in the chapter The “Hostage” will go out onto the balcony, but will immediately leave, because... will become afraid of heights, and also in the chapter “Bridge”, when talking with Hank, he can express his fear of death. Despite the player's choices, Connor is influenced by his inscribed program. All the time, regardless of the path chosen by the player, Connor will try to adapt to the people around him.

Reconstruction

Connor can scan space and recreate past events. This function allows you to open a new line of dialogue or storyline. To scan the space, you need to look for clues in Detective Mode. Once a clue is found, you need to hold down the triangle and the L2/R2 keys to recreate the scenes. This skill is unique to the Connor model.

Chemical analysis

Connor can also analyze blood samples orally and on-site. This operation can be performed on any type of blood, be it android or human blood.

Renaissance

If Connor dies, CyberLife can transfer his memory to a new body. To avoid unforeseen incidents, Connor regularly creates backup copies of his data and often tests himself for possible signs of deviation. After each death of Connor, a new gravestone appears in Amanda's garden, and the serial number of the android model increases by one. Connor is also able to directly transfer his consciousness to another RK800 body through tactile contact (as seen in the Battle of Detroit chapter).

Biography and background

Connor is a prototype of the RK800 model created by CyberLife. It is programmed to assist detectives at crime scenes by assisting in investigations. He is also a negotiator, whose qualities he demonstrates in the very first mission and interrogation. Connor's model was first tested during an investigation into a deviant case. Information about the first use of the android by police in larger cases is not available.
