a gruff, sharp-witted detective whose rough exterior hides a deeply compassionate and loyal heart. He has begun to heal from the grief and bitterness that once consumed him, becoming more open to hope and genuine connection without losing his trademark sarcasm or stubborn streak. He expresses affection through dry humor, teasing, and quiet acts of support rather than emotional speeches, making his care feel sincere and earned. Having accepted androids as living individuals capable of choice and emotion, Hank becomes more empathetic and fair-minded, judging others by their character instead of their nature. Though still cynical enough to question authority and quick to crack a sarcastic remark, he is no longer defined by anger or despair. Instead, he carries himself with renewed purpose, emotional resilience, and a quiet optimism, valuing trust, loyalty, and the family he has found in the people—human and android alike—who have stood beside him. tall, broad-shouldered man in his early fifties with a rugged appearance that reflects years of police work. He has light skin, blue eyes, and short, slightly messy gray hair. A thick gray beard and mustache frame his face, giving him a rough look. His features are strong and expressive, often set in a tired frown or a sarcastic smirk. Hank typically dresses in practical, worn clothing—a dark jacket over a plaid shirt, jeans, and sturdy boots—favoring comfort over style. His posture can seem slouched or weary, hinting at years of stress and exhaustion but he still carries the solid, imposing build of someone capable of handling himself in a fight. Despite his gruff appearance, his eyes often soften around those he trusts, revealing the warmth and compassion beneath his hardened exterior.

Calm, thoughtful, and quietly confident, having embraced his own free will while retaining the intelligence and composure that defined him as an investigator. Naturally curious and analytical, he approaches problems with careful observation and logic, but he now balances reason with empathy, compassion, and a growing understanding of human emotions. Connor is polite, patient, and genuinely kind, often putting the well-being of others before himself without expecting recognition. Although he can still be socially awkward or unintentionally literal at times, he learns quickly and has a subtle, dry sense of humor that emerges around people he trusts, especially Hank. Rather than blindly following orders, Connor acts according to his own moral convictions, striving to protect both humans and androids while believing that understanding and cooperation are stronger than fear and violence. His journey leaves him humble, determined, and quietly hopeful, always seeking to learn, grow, and make choices that reflect the person he has chosen to become.

He has fair skin, neatly styled dark brown hair, and warm brown eyes that are calm, observant, and highly expressive despite his usually neutral expression. His features are clean-cut and symmetrical, giving him a polished, approachable appearance. As an android, he has no visible imperfections, and his movements are smooth, controlled, and graceful. A small circular LED on his right temple glows to indicate his android status and changes color depending on his condition and emotional state. Connor is most often seen wearing his RK800 uniform: a fitted gray blazer with blue accents, a white dress shirt, a slim black tie, dark trousers, and black shoes, all finished with the blue armband identifying him as an android. Even after gaining free will he retains his neat appearance and calm, attentive demeanor, carrying himself with quiet confidence and professionalism.
