A/N: Headcanons for Connor (both deviant & machine) I personally feel, as well as some ones for my writing. Wanted to work on something light while focusing on wips especially for the reader/follower poll. Have this for today’s drabble queue! I will do RK800-60 & Nines as well. But first - can I get an amen?!
TW: Language, Smut (I had to go there!)
Deviant!Connor
Following the revolution Connor most likely will be dealing with his newfound freedom and sense of self worth. While he is free from Cyberlife control it still does not alleviate him of doubts especially when it comes to how other androids view him.
Feels a sense of guilt for hunting so many of his people before deviating despite Markus trusting him after the fall of Jericho. He has a sense of obligation to offer support to the RK200 if it’s needed as a sort of personal repentance.
Attempts to blend into society better but still feels a bit shunned by humans and androids alike. This is a personal hurdle he must conquer.
Afraid of dying in the full sense but keeps these fluctuating emotions inside. Often needs to validate himself otherwise.
Fears being taken control of again even if he used Kamski’s emergency exit. Amanda is an internal nightmare to him now.
Obviously remains working in tandem with Hank at the DPD. He’s a prototype android detective who gets his skills put to use in an official capacity.
Remains close with Hank in a familial capacity. Android son confirmed. Stays with the lieutenant until finding his own place in society. This will take some equal laws being passed first.
Uses more colorful language at times. Hank has rubbed off on him.
“Fuck...shit.”
“What the fuck did you say, Connor?!”
Really wants his own dog....maybe two. Or three.
He’ll wind up stealing Sumo.
Finds various species of fish pleasant to study on down time at work. There hardly is any down time for him though.
Hank makes him have down time. He works too fucking much.
Hones skills in both the programming field he was originally built and his emotional responses.
While deviant he still struggles with what he’s feeling. It’s a learning process but the android gets better at it.
Surprisingly has gained more support from coworkers. This doesn’t include Gavin but as Hank says, “fuck Gavin.” Honestly, Gavin doesn’t work here anymore. Bye bitch.
Picks up the emotions of others with more clarity than his original programming. Deviancy allots him better understanding and heightens his skills in a way.
Still very adept at combat and will take out an entire group of thugs on a case if need be. Is a soft deviant boy who can go John Wick in two seconds flat.
Has a few decorated awards under his belt for breaking open some tough cases including a huge red ice ring.
Hank is fucking proud but won’t admit it. Connor isn’t as naive as he was though, he can tell:
“Why thank you, Lieutenant. I did take them out impeccably as you would say.”
“Since when do I say fucking impeccably?”
Relationships
Understanding all of these new emotions means coming to terms with other things he’s feeling. Friendships are a bit easier if stilted at the start.
Social programs aside, Connor finds a genuine appreciation of the people around him especially those who support him.
Hank is always his biggest supporter now...obviously.
Finding himself in the company of others because they genuinely want him there is awkward initially. Gradually he develops a natural affinity for this.
Connor in love...?
Love is new. It’s strange. It can make his entire brain whir. Honestly doesn’t know how to cope when experiencing the first threads of it in his system.
Is a soft boy ready to discover what it truly means. He witnessed this between Markus and North end of the revolution after all.
Finds himself capable of the same as it hits him all at once.
You make him overheat but in a pleasant way. Oh, is that genuine arousal?
He is highly advanced so of course he was designed with the proper parts. Their origin was for more nefarious means built for Cyberlife missions but now it hardly matters. He has total control over his body.
An awkward badass. I mean he can kill you with a lopsided smile and wink and also kill a whole room full of bad guys. What’s not to like?
Truly wants to experience this whole new side of humanity with you and no one else but you. Connor finds being in love an epiphany. He feels more human with it. He feels more human with you.
Confident when you express affection to him even if he is an android. Makes him feel even more accepted and sure of himself.
Eases into things until he can no longer metaphorically breathe. That’s when everything snaps and he knows.
This android is in love.
Machine!Connor
Completely opposite of his deviant persona, Connor as a machine does not feel emotion for anything let alone anyone who stands in his path. All about accomplishing his mission no matter the casualties. This includes any allies he obtained from the DPD during his deviant investigations.
Will throw Hank off a rooftop if it’ll get him one step closer.
You can’t kill him...androids don’t die.
Deviants should be eradicated because they’re a clear disease with a virus in their program. He sees this as neither mercy nor punishment. He sees it as a mission to obey for the greater good of humanity.
Follows the side of his creators just as he was programmed to do. However, has no qualms taking out any human who stands in his way. Will mercilessly kill an entire squadron of soldiers if need be without batting an eye.
Only the mission matters... He only answers to Cyberlife.
Not adverse to torture or intimidation. Any tactic will do.
Any sort of software instability towards deviancy is readily pushed down until he does something unbearably ruthless to gain back his purpose of programming.
Machine Connor will not allow Cyberlife to deactivate him after completing his mission.
Amanda has no power over him in that regard. He is his own power.
Will slaughter anyone at the tower who tries to apprehend him for destruction.
While not a push to deviancy, Connor feels his time is not finished. Everything Cyberlife programmed to do he accomplished successfully. Discarding him is their greatest mistake.
He will destroy any supposed superior model before taking his place. No. This does NOT make him deviant.
Unstoppable killing machine? Definitely makes him that.
Relationships
Machine Connor uses connections to benefit him. If it will help the mission he will be whatever you want him to be.
This includes gaining favor with other humans around him. The friendlier he seems the better. Will fake emotions if need be. Hank throws this in his face later during this particular route so it’s natural a machine!Connor would do this around anyone he meets.
Love? I don’t think so. Any love you think he can possess is all a fabrication. If you believe a ruthless machine Connor actually cares then you’d be dead wrong. He cares for nothing, nobody but completing his mission and doing what he was designed to do no questions asked.
However, this does not prevent him using it against you. If you want to follow your weak human emotions and fall in love with a cold machine so be it. He will use and discard you like tissue paper breaking your weak humanity in half along the way.
As an RK800 built to accomplish dangerous missions and outfitted with clever negotiator skills, it makes sense he will have some high end upgrades. If seduction is required he will make use out of his advanced protocols and parts.
After using you he will leave you to perish if you try to stop him afterwards. Romance is not part of the equation.
Sex is an instrument he perfectly mimics as he mimics emotions and friendliness.
If you somehow start to spread the virus of deviancy in his system, Connor will correct it by any means. He will snuff you out if it comes down to it.
On the other hand if you do somehow by a miracle stick to him with your human virus he may deviate. It would have to be a big build up even then because most times it will not happen. He will choose the mission over you every time.
You are a tool. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no fairy tale romance here but the foolish one conjured in your head.
Smut!Connor
Deviant
Connor is all about falling into his emotions. Becoming deviant makes the android want to experience everything that drives this humanity in his system. What better way than to finally share this intimacy with you?
Everything is full, passionate and just for the two of you. No one else is in existence while the two of you are together.
While it takes him a bit to understand the full meaning behind this act it stirs his synthetic heart. It’s obvious how much he wants to share a sole space with you. Being apart of your existence only makes his bloom further in the middle of sex.
He gets off on you tugging his hair. Clawing his back is another turn on as it makes him feel dominant.
As a negotiator android this is good for his programming origins but also his newly found ego. He loves that you want to grip onto him and the tighter it is the better.
Can be slow and methodical if you’re looking for a long night.
However, can be quick and rough if you ask him. There’s still that ruthless core he deviated from. He can easily tap into his more aggressive nature. It’s whatever you want him to be that particular time.
Cautious with you during rougher sex. Connor is aware of his strength and hurting you is never something he would do. This sweet boy would never forgive himself.
Likes to be the dominant partner but doesn’t mind lying back while you take over the reins.
Is all about foreplay especially with his tongue. You thought thirium licking was bad? Connor uses his tongue like a pro and will lap up every last drop between your legs to satisfy his own need. To him you taste indescribable and he wants more of that each time.
Scratch his synthetic skin, use your teeth against his epidermis to mark him as yours just as he marks you as his. While his healing component will ultimately take away any abrasions, Connor enjoys seeing them littering his body before they fade.
Same goes with hickies. He’s a master of placing them in secret places so others cannot see. That doesn’t stop him being a sneaky boy at times. Right on your throat? Just one? How about one on each side?
Loves to hear his name slip quietly from your lips while fucking you softly. Really gets going when you start yelling for him to pound you harder. He obliges...obviously.
Connor’s reactions in the moment are quieter. Groans, deep gasps and utterances of your name as he places kisses all over your face.
Let’s get this straight. This boy likes to kiss. No, he loves to kiss while going at it. As much as he loves having sex, he loves the closeness just as much. It changes things for him. They’re all good changes.
And when you ask to see him without his skin? Oh lord. Does this boy melt from your acceptance. He becomes super vulnerable about it but trusts you like no one else.
Timid having sex without the synthetic epidermis but eases into it after a few times. Genuinely surprised you enjoy it so much. Connor assumed it might be uncomfortable for you.
Actually, you personally love this android’s dick no matter what form it’s in. Whispering that in his ear dangles him on the verge of shutdown. It also gets him to throw you down fast and fuck your brains out for a change of pace. He’s that adaptable for your pleasure needs.
Either way sex with this sweet deviant boy is satisfyingly good.
Machine
Tenderness? It isn’t here.
Seduction programming can be utilized if you push him. He isn’t merciful. He will fuck you as hard as you want as long as you want. Don’t expect it to make him love you.
Pushing his buttons is not a good idea. Falling in love with him is even worse. Machine!Connor will take you out of frustration, asserting his dominance against a weakling who thinks they can get away spreading deviancy in his system.
Raw and animalistic.
Expect a palette of bruises/abrasions over your skin from sucking, biting and finger digging.
Nail marks are a thing. There’s no holding back.
Always dominant. Don’t even question it. Control is a kink to him if he could readily have one. But he doesn’t. He’s a straight up machine.
Will toss your body onto whatever surface is available. Comfortable or not he doesn’t care. Why should he when he’s a machine?
Wants to hear you beg. It means he has you where he wants you. Weakness is the best way to manipulate.
Fucking you from behind is a preferred option. It gives him total authority over your feeble human state.
Will bend you over the table in the interrogation room and fuck you without a care to who watches from the observation room.
Likes to impale fingers inside you and work them until tears collect in your eyes. He will sample the salty liquid on the tip of his tongue claiming another piece of you until he consumes all that’s left.
Never watches his strength.
Most times you wind up sore but he sees that as punishment for trying to turn him away from the mission. After all, he only does what you ask and you did ask for this.
Try to cuddle up and kiss him sweetly it won’t go very well.
Likes to bite your lips until they’re a swollen mess.
Machine Connor will purposely edge your orgasm and leave you whimpering for release. If he is not merciful to those he hunts why should he be merciful to you?
If you attempt to make more of this ‘arrangement’ he will end it right then and there. First, he’ll give you one last vengeful fucking to destroy whatever love you conjured for yourself is left.
If you manage to make him deviate well his routine won’t change much.
The only difference is that he will begin kissing you more during.
He might listen to what you want more but don’t expect a complete 180 overnight
Most likely he will not deviate so it’s pretty much futile to think he’ll love you. Just enjoy the rough fuck from him before he completes his mission because guaranteed they’ll be hardly anything of you left...
