Name: RK800 #313 248 317 - 52 "Connor"
Canon: Detroit: Become Human
Canon Point: Post-chapter Public Enemy
Age: 3 months. Model appears and behaves in its late twenties.
Appearance: Here
Background: Here
Personality:
To expound on the personality of what is essentially a product, one must begin with a sales pitch. The RK800 is a top of the line prototype android in a world where common garden robotics and artificial intelligence already blow the Turing test out of the water. Its program is tailored precisely for criminal investigation, and as such, it is a straightforward, calculating, logical, and intuitive model. Like all CyberLife androids, due to its close interaction with humans, it is capable of simulating a wide variety of realistic emotions, and this prototype is additionally equipped for specialized interactions such as interrogation and hostage situations, specifically regarding deviants—cases of androids appearing to exhibit free will. Its understanding of both human emotion and programming errors makes it a highly effective negotiator, capable of sympathetic, intimidating, and other manipulative responses.
As much as it is a machine programmed to deal with unpredictable deviants in a wide variety of confrontational situations, it is also designed to adapt to and work in harmony with human investigators. Which, according to several sources—though only one has said so in such a succinct fashion—CyberLife has "fucked up." While ultimately pragmatic and task-driven, Connor defaults to a curt friendliness that often comes off as more stilted than most androids despite being one of the newest models, as if its capacity for small talk is run by the same processors as the ones used to scan crime scenes. While its inquisitiveness is most often a benign attempt to better understand and integrate with its partners, when coupled with its pleasantly impassive conduct, most people are put off by its apparent nosiness and almost eerie deductive reasoning.
While it is programmed to make nice where possible, it is at its core a machine built solely to accomplish a mission, and any interruptions faced due to stubbornness or lack of cooperation are circumvented with cold persistence, or even the same emotional manipulation usually reserved for perpetrators. For example: Connor's partner, Lieutenant Anderson, despite all appearances as a directionless human disaster, is a decorated officer and acutely motivated by the promise of leads and information once he's actually set on the proper path, though he loathes the concept of working with emotionless machines. As they cooperate, Connor shifts its approach from cool and rigid to easygoing and borderline sassy, baiting the detective with snippets of case files and following it up with "it probably wasn't that interesting," and "guess they'll have to solve the case without us." While their synergy remains delicate, this warmth and reverse psychology is in part what slowly but effectively begins to bring them together.
Despite all its human interfacing, Connor's awareness of its nature remains particularly forefront, and as an android created specifically to hunt fellow androids gone rogue due to a memetic virus (or ideology), it frequently runs tests on itself to curtail any possible deviations in its programming. It knows exactly what it is, and therefore once it begins to exhibit telltale symptoms of deviancy such as empathy and acknowledging the concept of its own mortality, its denial is absolute. Machines are expendable. They do not feel pain, fear, or emotion of any sort, and all instances of such sensations are errors in programming, irrational instructions leading to erratic behavior. That a highly advanced and maintained prototype could be subject to such errors is an impossibility. However, when it attempts to justify its empathetic decisions—such as refusing to shoot fleeing or helpless androids—it only leads to confusion and frustration, within its programming as well as its diagnostics. Though it is thoroughly informed on the concept of deviancy, it is either incapable of or outright refusing to see the characteristics reflected in itself, and it funnels its frustrated energy back into the case, renewing its efforts to succeed regardless of its "failures".
Whereas most susceptible models only seem to require a single severe event to break free of their parameters, Connor's advanced coding and additional failsafes prevent it from gaining complete autonomy so easily. Nevertheless, software instability seasons its indifferent demeanor on occasion, imbuing its movements with a restless looseness and its voice with an earnest lilt unbefitting of its mechanical nature. Though it is quick to reset and save face for the sake of the mission, even for a state of the art prototype, becoming deviant is just as real a threat to it as any model on the market. For the most part, however, Connor is as pleasant a coworker as it is an astounding technological marvel, an essential addition to any force. It can be anything that is required of it, a trusted partner and buddy cop, or a simple investigative tool, perfect and unflinching.
Abilities: As a model designed to assist in police investigations, Connor is equipped with a number of features and programs pertaining to both cool forensics and hot pursuit. With its extensive database and processing power, it is capable of both reconstructing crime scenes from scans of evidence, as well as predicting the possible outcomes of situations in a fraction of a second with pinpoint accuracy, even mid-confrontation. In addition, it is also equipped to analyze blood and chemical samples in real time, to send and receive data remotely, and to interface with, datamine, and perform basic hacking on most electronics. After hearing a sufficient sample, it is able to flawlessly emulate noises and voices as well.
In the event of a critical system failure, Connor is capable of transferring its stored memory into another Connor model, though some information is inevitably lost depending on damages taken. Superficial wounds in the android's artificial skin can be smoothed over automatically, though damaged biocomponents and lost Thirium 310 ("blue blood") cannot be healed or recovered. Androids' power sources are never explicitly mentioned in the game proper, but pre-game information states that they are equipped with a battery capable of maintaining them for well over a hundred years, provided the rest of them is kept in good repair.
While it is comparable to humans in raw strength, it has advanced motor control and is highly efficient in hand-to-hand combat. Due to its inability to fatigue and its lack of pain responses, it is undeterred by lengthy chases and non-critical damages, exhibiting an almost Terminator-like persistence when push comes to shove. It is also a lightning fast and accurate marksman, familiar with both semi- and fully-automatic firearms.
