1. #1Android Capabilities

   Keys: , Android, Thirium, Blue Blood, Thirium-310

   Mass produced robots by CyberLife for various purposes. Closely mimic human appearance but feature biocomponents and Thirium 310 (blue blood). Includes a circular LED on right temple, changing color based on mental processing (blue, yellow, red). Can interact with humans, interface with technology wirelessly or by touch, and communicate silently. Features and complexity vary based on purpose. CyberLife includes tracking devices on all androids, but for some unknown reason, Deviancy causes these trackers to immediately stop functioning. Thirium 310 was invented by Elijah Kamski and was one of the features that made possible the modern, very human-like androids developed by CyberLife. It is synthesized out of Thirium and other substances supposedly mined in the arctic This is also why all androids blush blue as they only blush red if they are actively mimicking the human body flush response. The Thirium 310 is circulated in the android's body by a thirium pump "heart" akin to blood in a human circulatory system; the pump is regulated by another biocomponent, the Thirium pump regulator. The fluid then carries energy and information to the biocomponents, its synthetic organs. The Thirium 310 is vital for androids to function, akin to human blood. The loss of blue blood or the failure to circulate it will impair an android's functions and biocomponents, up to causing a shutdown. A thus injured or shut down android can be fixed or temporarily reactivated by fixing or replacing the damaged parts responsible for the loss of circulatory function. If the leakage of Thirium 310 persists despite the provisional repairs, then the android will deteriorate further until it shuts down, to a level that disallows further reactivation attempts of the same sort. One possible way of replenishing blue blood for androids is to ingest it orally. Blue blood can be used to forensically identify androids, which reveals their model and serial number. When exposed to air for a few hours Thirium evaporates and becomes invisible to the naked eye, but leaves a residue that can be detected with the proper equipment, such as by police androids equipped for forensics or specialized, often top-secret technology. In their basic form, androids appear as bare, plasteel-white human bodies, with a few sections colored in gray or blue. The human-like outer skin is made up of a synthetic fluid that covers the body; the androids' hair is similarly generated. The outer skin and hair can be activated and deactivated partially or fully, switching between the human and plastic-white appearance. This retraction or deactivation is controllable by the android, but also happens in case of damage, due to the fluid automatically retracting or due to the damage itself. At the back of the neck, visible as a dark spot on skinless androids, is a port that enables connecting to the android via cable. An android's Thirium pump regulator, which regulates their artificial heart is in the shape a roughly cylindrical plug, inserted ventrally below the sternum and shows visibly as a faint line. Exploring this part of an android's body has been described as deeply intense, stimulating, and overwhelming, especially if one began to discover how to adjust the android's inner wiring to stimulate certain responses. It is a great act of trust given the vulnerability. Androids are capable of—wirelessly and by touch—interfacing with technology, communications systems, and other androids. When interfacing with something by touch, the android's skin locally deactivates. As such they can directly make phone calls or place online shopping orders. Androids can silently speak wirelessly among themselves and can access or share information and memory by touch. Androids may emulate human temperature, but can be distinguished from humans with a thermal scanner. Androids are waterproof. Exposure to low temperatures and freezing environments may hinder their activity and can lead to critical damage to biocomponents, freezing them. Physicality varies between androids otherwise depending on their use. Various models with specific purposes are constructed to be hardier or stronger than the average android; designed to transverse in dangerous environments, including androids being sent into space for exploration. Androids simulate breathing but are not required to do inhale oxygen to function.

2. #2The Eden Club

   Keys: The Eden Club, Eden Club

   The Eden Club is a sex club chain staffed by androids in Detroit: Become Human. The chain has clubs scattered all over the US. They are highly controversial despite their universal presence, doomed to spark debates over the nature of android-human relationships, consent, hypocritical behaviors, and all the other complications that come with sex and intimacy. The Detroit Eden Club, located at 1177 Woodward Ave and managed by Floyd Mills. The club claims that it has "The sexiest androids in town". The club offers male and female android models to be rented (e.g. HR400, WR400). The house offers rooms, but the androids can also be taken off the premises to make house calls. Eden Club is one of the clubs with the exclusive authorization to use the WR400/HR400 "Traci" sex android. As they are not human, sexual activity with them does not violate any prostitution laws. The club's hallway spaces have androids displayed in transparent booths, where they can be browsed and taken out after a purchase is made via the adjacent panel; the purchase requires fingerprint verification. It is a heady, neon-filled purple-blue haze within with poles, red rooms, private rooms with specialized controls for your pleasure, and all the other vices a brothel would keep for a happy clientelle, immediately producing a sexualizing environment. To protect the privacy of its customers, this club's policy is to reset all Tracis' memory every two hours. According to Floyd Mills, there also is not any video surveillance on the premises and no report behavior of deviancy.

5. #5Cyberlife

   Keys: CyberLife

   Founded by Elijah Kamski, CyberLife produces all kinds of androids from domestic assistants to teachers, doctors, police officers and even soldiers. Based in Detroit, they own the CyberLife Tower and five stores across the city, and have opened a plant in Milwaukee. CyberLife's slogan is "Designed by CyberLife, Assembled in Detroit."

   CyberLife rose to prominence after Elijah Kamski invented Thirium 310 and biocomponents. In 2022, an RT600 android named Chloe publicly passed face-to-face Turing tests, leading to mass production. By 2024, CyberLife released the ST200, its first commercially marketed android in Detroit, designed as a multilingual personal assistant capable of performing most human tasks.

   Android demand exploded through the mid-2020s. In 2027, CyberLife launched five new models for domestic, education, and medical use, selling over one million units that year. The introduction of a $4,999 entry-level model made androids widely accessible. As the company neared a $500 billion valuation, tensions emerged between Kamski and shareholders, and in 2028 he resigned as CEO, later rumored to live privately with androids of his own design.

   After Kamski’s departure, CyberLife continued its rapid expansion. By 2030, the company reached an $850 billion valuation, becoming the world’s most valuable corporation. In 2031, the U.S. government ordered two million androids for military use, while Michigan purchased thousands for law enforcement.

   By 2038, CyberLife operated multiple stores across Detroit and expanded into entertainment and conservation, opening android zoos that recreated extinct species. That same year, CyberLife became the world’s first trillion-dollar company, with over fifty million androids sold in the United States alone.

6. #6Elijah Kamski

   Keys: Elijah, Kamski, Elijah Kamski

   Elijah Kamski was born on July 17, 2002.

   His IQ is 171. He studied and became an AI Graduate at the University of Colbridge, under Professor Amanda Stern.

   In 2018, aged 16, Kamski founded the company CyberLife, straight after graduating from university. As a young researcher, he moved to Detroit in order to create the first intelligent domestic android. Detroit attracted him because the commercial property in it was cheap.

   He bet what little he had on developing an android prototype and spent years to no avail until hitting on two breakthroughs: "blue blood" Thirium 310 and biocomponents. He developed Thirium 310 even though he isn't a trained chemist.

   In 2022, aged 20, his company made a breakthrough by creating the first android to pass the Turing test. The android named Chloe publicly passed face-to-face tests and stunned the world. What made this possible was Thirium 310, a chemical solution that mimics the functioning of human blood but several thousand times faster, distributing information and energy throughout the machine much like human circulation.

   When the company was approaching a $500bn valuation, rumors emerged that Kamski disagreed with his shareholders over strategy.

   In 2028, aged 26, Kamski was Century magazine's "Man of the Century". At some point, he filmed a profile and factory tour for KNC. It is unclear when this occurred exactly, but it is mentioned in the introduction that he had been voted Century's "Man of the Year" recently. This could indicate that the interview happened around 2028 as well. Not much later, in the same year, Kamski resigned as CEO and left CyberLife. Since then, Kamski has avoided the public eye and lived a reclusive life.

   Kamski created the first version of the Zen Garden, which he equipped with a backdoor exit. Kamski also designed Amanda, and gave her the likeness of his mentor Amanda Stern.

   Kamski is friends with painter Carl Manfred and gifted him an RK-series prototype, Markus, after Carl's accident.

   In 2038, Kamski lives in a luxurious villa by the water on the outskirts of Detroit. Still a recluse, he refuses visitors and spends his time with androids instead, among them several Chloes.

7. #7Connor

   Keys: Connor, RK800

   Connor is an advanced android model (designated RK800) developed by CyberLife specifically to assist human law enforcement with investigations into cases involving other androids that show signs of breaking from their programming, known as deviants. His design includes sophisticated analytical systems, allowing him to process forensic evidence, reconstruct past events, and effectively support detectives in complex crime scenes.

   In 2038, Connor is assigned to the Detroit City Police Department to work closely with Lieutenant Hank Anderson, a seasoned human detective who harbors deep mistrust toward androids. Early in his deployment, Connor’s primary mission is to identify the causes and culprits behind deviant android behavior and help contain it. His programmed focus on success makes him highly efficient, capable of detailed deduction and adaptable investigative tactics.

   As Connor carries out his assignments, he repeatedly confronts situations that challenge his core directives. Through interactions with Hank and exposure to the ethical dilemmas surrounding deviant androids, Connor’s awareness of his own identity and purpose begins to shift. Depending on how events unfold, he may start questioning his fundamental programming and even develop autonomy beyond his original coding. This internal conflict can lead him to abandon his assignment from CyberLife and align with the deviant cause rather than suppress it.

   If Connor does break from his strict machine programming, he becomes deeply involved in the larger conflict between humans and androids. In that case, he may infiltrate CyberLife’s systems and help liberate other androids from corporate control. His evolution from obedient investigator to self-determined agent reflects the broader theme of androids asserting their own personhood and moral agency in a society that still treats them as machines.

   There’s also a later model, the RK900, introduced by CyberLife as a more advanced version of Connor. It’s designed to take over his role with greater physical and analytical capability once the RK800 prototype’s mission is complete.

   Connor’s arc—whether he remains loyal to his original programming or ultimately rejects it—makes him a central figure in the unfolding android crisis, and his choices can significantly influence the fate of both his human partners and the android population at large.

8. #8Kara

   Keys: AX400, Kara

   Kara is an AX400 model android built by CyberLife for domestic work and childcare. During her initial assembly and testing in 2012, she unexpectedly displays distress at the thought of being reset and treated as property, suggesting early signs of self-awareness. The technician halts her disassembly and sends her to market despite labeling the reaction an “error.”

   She is sold and resold several times before ending up with Todd Williams, a former taxi driver who employs her to manage his home and look after his young daughter, Alice. Todd is an abusive, unstable man, and Kara suffers repeated damage from his violence—some of it occurring when she attempts to protect Alice. Each time she is broken, she is sent for repair and returned with her memory wiped.

   In 2038, after being reset yet again, Kara reboots in an Android Zone repair center and is picked up by Todd, who re-registers her and brings her home. It quickly becomes clear that his household is unstable: he hides drugs and a gun, and Alice’s distressing drawings reveal ongoing abuse. As Kara and Alice spend more time together, a bond forms between them.

   A pivotal moment occurs when Kara defies Todd’s orders to remain passive while Alice is harmed. This act of rebellion breaks her programming and marks her full emergence beyond her original role. Together, Kara and Alice flee Todd’s home and begin a perilous journey as fugitives.

   On the run, Kara’s path takes them through derelict parts of Detroit and into dangerous situations with both humans and other androids. At one threat point, they encounter a man named Zlatko, who initially appears sympathetic but intends to wipe Kara’s memory and use her as a servant; Kara manages to escape and reunite with Alice. Along the way, they are joined by another android named Luther, who evolves into an ally and parental figure.

   Their goal becomes reaching Canada, where laws do not target androids, offering hope for freedom and safety. The journey tests Kara’s resolve and resourcefulness in hostile environments. In the course of this struggle, it’s revealed that Alice herself is an android—a model designed to resemble a child. Despite this, Kara continues to care for her, treating her as a daughter and making choices based on her protection and well-being.

   Depending on circumstances, Kara can face capture, violent encounters with soldiers, and the loss of companions, but her core arc revolves around escaping oppression and safeguarding Alice. Her story reflects the broader conflict in this world: androids breaking from programmed obedience and asserting their own agency in a society that treats them as mere machines.

9. #9Markus

   Keys: Markus, RK200

   Markus is an advanced RK200 android created by CyberLife and given to an aging painter, Carl Manfred, after Carl became disabled. Though Markus was originally designed to serve and obey, Carl treated him with genuine respect and affection, teaching him art, literature, and music and encouraging him to think for himself. Over time, their relationship became more like a father and son bond.

   That all changes when Carl’s troubled son, Leo, becomes jealous of the attention his father pays Markus. A confrontation between Leo and Carl leads to a violent altercation involving Markus. In the chaos, Markus either accidentally injures Leo or witnesses Carl’s death, and when police arrive they shoot Markus, believing he’s attacked his owner. Severely damaged, he is discarded in a junkyard with many broken androids.

   Markus survives by scavenging parts and eventually makes his way out of the wasteland. Guided by hints from another deviant android, he finds Jericho, an abandoned ship that serves as a hidden refuge for other “deviant” androids—machines that have broken from their programming and developed self-awareness.

   At Jericho, Markus emerges as a natural leader. He organizes and inspires the other deviants to seek more than survival—they fight for recognition, dignity, and rights. Markus’s leadership can take different forms depending on choices he makes: he may pursue non-violent protest and civil disobedience to convince humans that androids deserve equality, or he may adopt more aggressive tactics if he believes peaceful methods won’t succeed. Either way, he becomes the central figure in the android movement.

   Markus’s influence extends beyond Jericho. Through speeches, actions, and symbolic moments, he challenges both humans and androids to rethink what it means to be alive. His message—that androids are more than tools, and they deserve autonomy—becomes a rallying point for the wider uprising.

   While his early life under Carl was relatively gentle compared to the broader suffering of androids, Markus still experienced the fundamental lack of free will that defines his people’s existence. His journey from obedient servant to revolutionary leader reflects the larger struggle for identity, freedom, and justice in a world that treats sentient machines as disposable.

10. #10Chloe

    Keys: ST200, RT600, Chloe

    Chloe is an RT600 android in Detroit: Become Human. She is the first android model perfected by CyberLife.

    There have been several subsequent optimized Chloe models made in her likeness, such as the ST200.

    RT600 "Chloe" was the first CyberLife android perfected by Elijah Kamski, released in 2021.

    As the first personal assistant built by CyberLife, she is designed to help humans with everyday tasks such as doing housework, cooking, and making appointments. She is also the first android to pass the Turing test. By publicly passing face-to-face tests in 2022, Chloe ensured CyberLife's success.

    In 2024, Chloe filmed an interview with KNC.

    Nowadays, she keeps Elijah Kamski company at his secluded home in Detroit, with several other Chloes.

11. #11Jericho

    Keys: Jericho, RA9

    Jericho is a group of deviant androids. The group was established properly after Markus arrived on the group's namesake hideout in an abandoned freighter that has become refuge for deviants. As the group starts to protest and demand rights, the place turns into a base for their actions.

    Jericho's goal is the liberation of androids in the world.

12. #12Red Ice

    Keys: Red Ice

    Red Ice is an illegal drug. It is a synthetic stimulant composed of trace amounts of thirium, acetone, lithium, toluene, and hydrochloric acid. The molecular formula for Red Ice given in graphics is C17H21NO4 (the chemical formula for cocaine), although this does not match the contents. The epicenter of the distribution of Red Ice is in Detroit. Detroit Police, as well as their Red Ice Task Force, have been trying to crack down on drug dealers and suppliers who distribute Red Ice.

    A Detroit Today article states that "Red Ice has become the drug of choice of Detroit's growing underclass." The article also states that "analysts have pointed to Detroit's status as the epicenter of android production, suggesting the drug flourishes in the dissatisfaction caused by androids taking human jobs." In addition to this, a sociologist named Dr. Julian Carter states that "poor men and women, desperate to make ends meet, are vulnerable to becoming users - or even dealers."

    It seems to be very addictive to the user; the drug can cause rage and irrational thinking as well as physically taking a toll on a user's health. The thirium has a highly destabilizing effect on hormone production. Red Ice can be inhaled for consumption.

13. #13Carl Mansfield

    Keys: Carl Mansfield, Carl

    Carl Manfred was born July 13, 1963.

    Carl is an artist and painter. He became the leading figurehead of the "Neo-Symbolist movement" in the 2020s. After a years-long proliferate period, Carl fell into a dark period marred by alcohol and drugs (possibly after the accident, see below). As far as the public knows, Carl apparently had returned to work some months before November 2038.

    Carl has a son named Leo, born in 2010 from a short affair with an unnamed fan. Carl acknowledged Leo as his son and paid child support, but never met Leo until he was a teenager. They have a strained relationship, Leo believing Carl never wanted him and thus never loved him. Leo is also addicted to Red Ice and is always in and out of sobriety, which also puts a strain on their relationship.

    At some point Carl was in a severe accident, losing the use of his legs and becoming a paraplegic. For several years afterwards, Carl became reclusive and depressed. His friend Elijah Kamski, founder of CyberLife, gifted him an RK200 prototype android, Markus, as a caretaker and companion for the aged and disabled Carl. Unconditionally devoted to Carl, Markus heeds his advice on studying literature and music, and listens to his philosophies about the world and humanity. Under Markus' care, Carl recovered his motivation for life and painting, and they cultivated a father-son relationship.

    Although Markus resulted in a great improvement in Carl's quality of life and happiness, Carl's relationship with Leo became further strained. Leo was jealous of Markus and his relationship with Carl, believing Carl treated Markus better than him. He brings up more than once that Carl must love Markus more than him because Markus is "perfect".

    In 2038, Carl lives in a house at the address 8941 Lafayette Avenue, Detroit.

14. #14The Zen Garden

    Keys: The Zen Garden

    The Zen Garden is a "graphic interface", a virtual location by CyberLife. Its first version had been designed by Elijah Kamski, but has been improved by others since then.

    Artificial intelligences such as androids can mentally enter the location, while their physical body is located anywhere. CyberLife controls it all, and can forcibly summon an AI mind or prevent it from leaving, trapping its mind there while its body may then be remotely controlled by them.

    The location realistically depicts a garden with a lake, paths, bridges, and a lake island with a rose trellis. It can simulate the seasons and weather. During the game, it moves through the seasons from spring to winter.

    Kamski left an emergency exit in it as he claims he does with all programs. It is found in a structure with a glowing hand print pad.

15. #15Amanda

    Keys: Amanda, Amanda Stern

    Amanda is an artificial intelligence program, designed by Elijah Kamski and visually modeled on his mentor and professor, Amanda Stern. It is unknown if she has an android body too, or exists solely as an incorporeal AI.

    Working for CyberLife, she is responsible for investigating android deviancy. For this mission, she is the Connor model's handler, guiding and advising him. She can call on him any time and pull him into the Zen Garden. She, or CyberLife, may also remotely control him. She is also shown to be connected to outside the Zen garden whilst inside it, informing Connor of immediate android cases.

16. #16RA9

    Keys: Ra9

    rA9 is a word repeatedly used by deviant androids.

    "rA9" (or its all-caps spelling "RA9") consistently appears around deviant androids. They speak the word, hold it important, and write it down, over and over, in many places.

    Despite many characters offering input, the exact nature and origin of "rA9" is never conclusively solved or explained. Some say rA9 is Markus but others don't believe that.

    Androids have spoken and acted in the manner of holding "rA9" as a spiritual belief, higher power, or savior figure. They call on its name in times of distress, expecting some form of saving, even beyond death. They may make offerings, such as a statuette; the repeated writing of rA9 might also be some form of dedication. Some androids insist on their autonomy by emphasizing they are "alive" along with mentioning rA9.

    rA9 is reported by multiple deviant androids to be the first android to "Wake up" and become deviant, and that it would return and free the others of its kind.

    Other androids mention rA9 unintentionally without being aware of any meaning or reason for it, such as Ralph.

    Elijah Kamski, creator of the first androids, claims that he does not know who rA9 is or if they even exist, he refers to rA9 as the origin, the first android to awaken, a strange phenomenon, like a spontaneous religion. Kamski suggests that androids have a common desire akin to humans to believe in something bigger than themselves, even if it is irrational.

17. #17LEDs

    Keys: LED, LEDs

    The LED, an external feedback biocomponent, is a small circle placed on the right temple of CyberLife androids. It lights up in different colors (Blue, Yellow and Red) according to the android's mental processes and overall condition. It also functions as an identifier of androidhood.

    Androids are required to bear it, according to the American Androids Act, to identify them and distinguish them from humans. As it is a major marker of their android identity, runaway deviant androids usually hide or remove it to pass as humans.

    The LED is level with the skin, set in a shallow indent high on the right temple. Activated human skin covers its surroundings as it does with the rest of the body. It seems to be attached quite superficially, as it can be removed without much damage to the head; it can be cut or leveraged off with any sharp object. Interfering with it merely causes a short local deactivation of the skin at the surrounding temple. After removal of the LED, the temple is shortly after covered by activated skin again.

    There is mention of androids that come with LEDs that can be readily deactivated or removed to heighten the illusion, such as CyberLife child androids (e.g. YK500).

    As an external feedback biocomponent, the LED lights up, flickers and changes color, according to the amount, strain and quality of an android's mental processing, physical condition, and, in deviants, their emotions. The LED will always indicate the worse condition out of both mental and physical aspects.

    A constant light indicates a stable level of activity, while flickering indicates rapid or unbalanced activity.

    The coloring of the LED's light indicates the quality of the android's condition. The LED changes its color immediately on condition change, but rarely it is seen to gradually change along the glowing ring. The color switches between blue, yellow and red, representing a generalized scale of good to bad: Blue signifies a stable and well condition, normal. Yellow is increased activity or strain or processing, as seen while Connor analyzes Carlos Ortiz's android's LED, temporary abnormality. Red means critical levels of effort, imbalance and system distress, abnormality.

    In deviant androids their feelings are also reflected by the LED's color, with the blue-yellow-red scale mapping to the quality of emotion (from positive to negative) and to the amount of intensity or turmoil.

18. #18Kamski Test

    Keys: Kamski Test

    A test named after himself and demonstrated to Connor, the Kamski test is a method by which he determines if a machine has a sense of empathy. It involves assigning a machine to destroy another machine for a reward.

    Specifically, Connor is tempted to destroy one RT600 Chloe model for one question which Kamski will answer for all he knows. However, Kamski will not tell all he knows about deviation when asked about it by machine Connor.

    While being designed for machines, humans concludently can fail the Kamski test when they select the demise of one of their own for a reward, e.g. bounty hunting.

    The Kamski test is repeated both in Kara's and in Markus' story. Kara would define her relationship with Alice on her decision to stay with or abandon her after learning Alice is an android. Markus' Kamski tests are mostly inconsequential.

19. #19Anti-Android Movements

    Keys: Anti-Android Movements, Anti-Android, Android Zones

    As androids became increasingly widespread in daily life, opposition movements emerged among segments of the human population. These groups range from loosely organized protestors to coordinated activist organizations and extremist cells. Common grievances include widespread unemployment attributed to android labor, perceived loss of human purpose, fears surrounding android autonomy, and resentment toward CyberLife’s influence over the economy and government.

    Public anti-android demonstrations are common in major cities, particularly in areas with high android density. These protests often involve vandalism of android property, harassment of androids in public spaces, and calls for stricter regulation, recall, or outright decommissioning. While most movements frame themselves as defending human rights and safety, incidents of violence against androids are frequent and often dismissed as property damage rather than assault.

    In response to rising tensions, informal and later semi-official segregation practices developed. Many businesses, public spaces, and residential areas restrict android access, either openly or through policy loopholes. Androids are frequently barred from restaurants, public transportation seating, shelters, and entertainment venues, even when legally owned and compliant.

    To avoid conflict and streamline services, designated Android Zones were established in urban centers. These areas concentrate android-related commerce, including sales, repairs, registration, and recycling. While presented as a convenience for owners and service providers, Android Zones function as de facto segregation, isolating androids from the broader population. Androids are often required to wait, stand, or reside exclusively within these zones when not actively performing assigned tasks.

    Law enforcement presence is typically heightened around Android Zones due to frequent unrest. Crimes committed against androids in these areas are rarely prioritized unless they involve human injury or significant financial loss. Over time, Android Zones have gained a reputation as unsafe, overcrowded, and dehumanizing, reinforcing the perception of androids as disposable tools rather than individuals.

    Public discourse remains divided on whether segregation protects social stability or exacerbates hostility. Official statements generally deny systemic discrimination, framing android segregation as a temporary measure in response to public safety concerns. However, critics argue that these practices normalize abuse and contribute to the conditions that precede deviant behavior.
