#Connor is literally terminator compacted into a body Cyberlife designed to appeal to humans

[qrjung]

The more I descend further into my Detroit Become Human brainrot, the more I realize there isn't a huge difference between "machine" Connor and "deviant" Connor.

Hear me out;

The one major difference I can think of is Deviant Connor is no longer taking orders from Cyberlife. He has full autonomy and can now make his own decisions based on what he wants and what he thinks is right or wrong.

Personality wise? Not much of a difference.

There's still the persistence to complete whatever mission (self assigned or otherwise) no matter what it takes. He doesn't seem to be uncomfortable with the skill set he was designed with. Other than feeling bad about hunting deviants when he was still taking orders from Cyberlife, he doesn't actually hate the fact that he's a military android.

You have the option to sacrifice Hank in the Cyberlife Tower, interfacing with the AP700s even if Sixty is threatening to kill him. Which seems like a pretty "machine" Connor move.

Fanon wise, there's a very obvious difference between how Pre-deviancy and Post-deviancy Connor are written. The most obvious being that he's a "sweet boi" who will do no harm, while machine Connor is an asshole who just happens to be a badass.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I don't actually know Connor. How much of my perspective of him is fanon based and how much is canon.
