Anything We Should Know: I haven't been able to think about anything but this boy's canon for two whole months now, send help. I'm sorry to everyone who has to deal with me.

CHARACTER
Name: Connor, aka Connor 51, aka Connor prime, aka deviant Connor
Canon: Detroit: Become Human
Info Page/App: I spent weeks on this info post
Who They Are: Android detective designed to hunt rogue androids, slowly realised he had emotions and empathy (the horror!), and eventually went rogue himself to help the android uprising. He is simultaneously a soft goofy boy, and a literal murder machine.
Where They've Been: Detroit, Michigan, year 2038. Listen, he's only a few months old.
What They Want: He's new to wanting things. Mostly he wants to make a difference and stop evil/dangerous people. More subconsciously he wants to make connections and figure out what it means to be alive. He's not used to wanting things for himself, just for how he can be useful. He just wants someone to love him.
Plot & CR Desires: He's not used to having bodily functions or the ability to feel pain, so that'll be fun. People teaching him how to function, giving him lifehacks and wrapping him in soft blankets so he remembers to sleep and eat would be good, to start off. Learning how to relate to people and have friends. Learning how to relax and enjoy things. But I'm ofc always up to traumatising my boys so that too. Detective work?? Longterm, getting into Tranquil rights would def be interesting.
Anything Else: I promise your characters will eventually be able to tell the Connors apart, but right now they're pretty much twins. And just for the record? Connor 51 is the good twin. Also, Connor 60 tried to murder him, so they're gonna start out pretty tense.




Have a fanvid (with bonus Connor 60):

Just for the record? Connor 51 is the good twin.

Uh. Objection, your honour...

Also, Connor 60 tried to murder him

I want to say it was nothing personal but it clearly was.

[rk80051]

Okay but it's true though.

[connorrk800]

That didn't happen in our timeline, though, just like your Connor didn't murder Chloe or the Tracis.

[rk80051]

Thankfully. If Connor 60 actually had Hank's blood on his hands, I don't think them befriending each other would be an option. And that would be sad.

[connorrk800]

True and, since this is going to be the best thing ever, that would truly be tragic.

Also, 51 killed a bunch of actual humans while my son has hurt no one. Dear boy.

[rk80051]

That is... actually completely fair. I DID call him a literal murder machine. I mean, they were all soldiers who were actively trying to kill him, but still. I believe my Connor has a canon kill count of... 6 soldiers. Which is like the lowest possible kill count for a happy ending.

[connorrk800]

6 guards, who probably had families, and my son. ;_;

[rk80051]

Hey, 51 didn't kill 60, Hank did.

...But no I love your son too, I want him to grow and deal with his anger and for these two adorable boys to move past their shit and come to terms that they were just pitted against each other.

[connorrk800]

Fraternal tiems are in their future. I believe it.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Apparently I knew just enough to know that Connor's a good boy but not enough to know there were multiple Connors. I really need to watch an lp of this shit.

Also Church will help BOTH of them with human not-a-robot feelings!!!

[rk80051]

There's anywhere between 3 and 12 Connors depending on how you count? But if you count the "when one dies, another takes over" as one single Connor, then there's 3 of him.

Might I recommend Jacksepticeye's playthrough as a good wholesome one where he gets very emotionally involved (it's also pretty close to our canon version). There's also the one with Bryan and Amelia, aka Connor-actor and Traci-actress (who are married), which is very sweet and lovely (and they did some of it in cosplay as themselves), but it's an archived stream with lots of breaks and behind the scenes and whatnot so it's not necessarily the best introduction. Jesse Cox's playthrough was also really good. Those are my top 3.

(Jacksepticeye and Bryan and Amelia have now also befriended each other and it's the cutest.)


And yes please help them both of these doofy adorable boys with their feelings. They need feelings-practice.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I've heard jack's is really good so :EYES EMOJI: I will def check out these adorable human beings. I think most of the ones I started (before I went 'oh everyone I follow is doing it let's just wait and then do one at a time' before I ended up doing none at a time) didn't actually finish their playthroughs.

But yes. Thedas become human (and also become friends). Please. He'll probably even fret over his fellow robot buddies and try to make sure they do not talk about not being people in front of the locals.

[rk80051]

See I went the complete opposite route and just watched ALL OF THE LETSPLAYS, many at the same time. I've watched 15 different ones by now, not counting looking up scene variations and such. I've also played through it a bunch of times. I don't even own a playstation, I got it to play on my flatmate's PS4!

Ok but what about the fact their jackets say ANDROID in big letters on the back?

Definitely make sure to tell them about that stuff, yeh. No lynching, please. (Unless having them be accused of being demons is a fun plot......)

[motherfucking_ghost]

Meh, nobody native will know what that means. Some crazy future word! Clearly! Hahaha...ha......

Listen Church almost got his head taken off by Cassandra years ago so he juuuust doesn't talk about his history of being an AI okay. That's just not a thing! To discuss! It's fine. He's totally a Real Boy in a person body that is definitely his, and no one should ever worry that he took over some poor dead schmuck's body or something. It's Fine.

[rk80051]

@rifters, please don't rat the robot boys out ok?

AI support group? Ok but from Church's background, was being an AI okay there? Cause like, the Connors are used to being harassed and degraded and attacked for being androids, so this is nothing new. (Listen, there are some self-worth issues intwined with this, it's Bad.)

Oh dear... Uh. Well, he did that. Oops. https://allthisshitisweird.dreamwidth.org/27501.html?thread=9985133#cmt9985133
