PM700 headcanons & fact corrections
It has been a while since this post, so I'm updating you all on my thoughts and things. I want to correct myself on some mistakes. I'll also repeat some points so this is completely up-to-date, so please 100% disregard my previous post.
The hallway PM700 is not the only PM700 in the game with voice lines. There are 2 instances of a PM700:
Due to the vocal fray/change of the hallway PM700, I like to believe that Hallway (Puma) is the deviant of the two. She keeps her eyes on Connor as he walks around the DPD, even when Connor's across the other side of the room, which means she's focused on him.
This is probably because Puma stands in the DPD day-in, day-out, and Connor is the only new thing here. She watches literally his every move. If she's going to steal weapons for Jericho, then she has to determine if this new android is a threat to her operation.
The hallway PM700 is potentially the ARMORY PM700, hence the headcanon that she stole weapons. Check out this post for cut content in the game files. To simply explain the theory, you know how as Connor in Crossroads, you can get alerted not to get spotted?
The PM700 used to be a trigger for that as well, but now, she just has a Q to view and no reaction from Connor.

(Cut event)
The reason "Don't catch anyone's attention" would be linked to Hallway and not Gate is because Gate's gaze pans the lobby, whereas Hallway keeps her gaze on Connor at all times. On top of that, a player is much more likely to interact with Hallway than make the mistake of not talking to the receptionist. You could make the argument that Armory isn't Hallway and she could be any PM700 in the DPD, but narratively speaking, that wouldn't make sense. These are major moments for the PM700 model, so for story, they're the same android!
Some model swaps for you :D
So, for Puma's timeline, it would go something like:
> Deviates.ra9
> Checks out Jericho
> Realises they need weapons and knows where to get them
> Infiltrates the DPD
> What the fuck are YOU???? [connor.jpeg]
> Never mind, just get the guns
> Returns to Jericho before the Crossroads chapter
> Doesn't see Connor because she's too distracted instructing androids how to shoot
> Flees Jericho in the raid
Puma cannot be found in the Demonstration, but she be found in the Revolution. This indicates what her beliefs are, which leans toward North's methodology. I like to think that Puma fled and hid like a lot of other androids because the Demonstration was like a suicide mission and she's not about that life.
Although androids are not licenced to carry a weapon, the PM700 and PC200 models were commissioned in 2029, the same year as the law passed that androids could not bear arms.
This could mean anything. Maybe a PM700 or a PC200 shot in error that year. Maybe the government pre-emptively ruled that androids couldn't carry a weapon. Either way, CyberLife had programmed these models with combat abilities. The police force just doesn't get to utilise them.
In the DPD, the viewable PM700s were commissioned in 2037, which suggests that Puma was as well. She could be of old 2029 design, but made in 2037 like her robotic colleagues, but this has no hard evidence. This also means that the latest commercial model, the AP700, came after the PM700, and that the PM700s held the original face model.
Let's talk about the PM700 face model. Check out Assina Dreams on Instagram here.
Her Detroit: Become Human posts are approx. end of July 2019 if you would like to scroll down to that area. I've made the speculation that QD only gave Assina shareable promo content that includes her face as an AP700 as seen in the trailers. With a bit of adaption, she also became the PM700 as seen in canon.
Puma may look like Assina, but where does her voice come from? I can compare Puma's voice to Chloe's. Check out these two clips which, by chance, have extremely similar vocals.
I have no hard evidence if Chloe's actress is the same as Puma's, but the way she talks and holds herself fits the one actress. Also, I'm not sure if Assina only speaks French or if she also speaks English. Obviously, if she can't speak English, then QD used a different actress/actresses for the PM700.
HEADCANONS THAT CONTINUE TO EXIST (previous post):
PM700s are specifically designed for patrolling, guarding, and observational tasks. Basically, they’re like glorified security guards. As a 2029 model, PM700s would have to get software updates in order to stay up-to-date with current technology. Puma is as recently updated as an RK800 because of the nature of law enforcement/how laws are constantly changed/how androids are getting better and more powerful/etc.
She is polite, straightforward, and professional as per her programming, but as a deviant, she uses this to catch people off-guard.
Due to the human personalities she’s surrounded with at the DPD, her personality has developed into being incredibly sarcastic and sharp-witted.
Smiles, but has the boiling rage of an underpaid customer service worker.
Puma shares similarities with and would get along with North, Connor, and Rose.
She’s jaded and sceptical.
Queen of blackmail since she hears all and sees all
If she ever saw Connor’s insides/they were comparing hardware, she’d be all like “YOU HAVE SEVEN PORTS??? SEVEN?? LOOK AT THAT AUXILIARY TUBE!!! WHAT! CONNOR YOU’RE A BEAST WHAT WHY AREN’T YOU SHARING ALL THAT HORSEPOWER” (because, remember, she’s a 2029 model)
In the DPD, she befriends Connor (lmao), Officer Person, and Officer Chen.
Puma returns to the DPD to make sure discrimination like that in the past doesn’t occur again/she prevents it from occurring and makes sure that the androids who are arrested are treated equally to human criminals. She also returns to the DPD (if Connor returns to the DPD) to keep an eye on him because she knows his past and what he is capable of.
Built like a Barbie doll under her uniform.
With constant software updates and how she is specifically designed to monitor, her HUD operations would be somehow more advanced/focus on more things than Markus/Connor/Kara. She’d be able to notice not only what she can interact with, but the tiniest details that may be out of order. She’d be able to pick up that a mug had moved 2mm overnight. She’d know the entire DPD’s routine. Who goes where and does what at any second of the day. And that’s why she can steal weapons from the station.
UPDATED HEADCANONS:
If Connor is Hank's, and Nines is Gavin's, then Puma walks beside Captain Fowler. She updates him on everything in a march down the hallway from when he enters the DPD until he reaches his office. They are frank with each other and get along.
They listen to R&B in the car on the way to a crime scene.
A PM700 can connect to any camera within a specific range and multiple cameras at once. They can process multiple points of view without any comprehension issues. Their view is almost 360 and therefore can see what's happening behind them.
Puma wears gloves, so when free and deviant, her hands are a big deal for her. She had never seen them, so when she does as a deviant, it's profound. To touch her bare hand would be a huge leap of trust for her.
She's a black, female, old model android. She has to deal with racism, sexism, modelism (discrimination against "out of date and therefore redundant and useless" androids), and android-phobia (discrimination against androids). That's hardcore.
FAR-REACH HEADCANONS (previous post):
She gets a motorbike eventually.
She exclusively wears black leather on the days she’s riding her bike. (She already wears a bit of leather as a part of her uniform.)
She has 3 wigs, one of which is long black box braids with beads in it and it matches her fairycore aesthetic (for casual clothing ofc) and the braids literally reach her ankles. I think that would look sick
But yeah she keeps her designed hair for work because it’s short and practical.
She legitimately enjoys clubbing.
She REALLY likes waterfalls. The sound and the feel of it
She can dodge laser beams like Lara Croft and fold herself backward like a gymnist
She likes to dance!
She loves snakes. It’s funny because I’m like “Connor’s the DPD snake” and it makes double sense if she returns to work as a cop in order to keep an eye on Connor because she’s sus of him even after his whole deviancy arc.
If especially jaded and insane, she probably carries around a bullet or a knife with “Connor” engraved into the side.
She gets Gavin to fuck off away from her by moaning really loud
UPDATED FAR-REACH HEADCANONS:
Puma has a pet snake.
She enjoys country and R&B.
Her social programming isn't as good as the most recent models, so she can be awkward at times.
Although sharp-witted, she can also be shy. Lots of breaking eye-contact when nervous or unsure.
When sure in her beliefs/calculations, she makes lots of eye-contact and her voice is firm.
She keeps her motorbike in the kitchen.
ok that's enough. ENOUGH. SEND POST
