Detroit: Become Human - Markus, Connor and Kara, we discover the three protagonists

As has been known for some time now Detroit: Become Human, new PlayStation 4 exclusive, is finally coming. The videogame departs at least in part from the classic graphic adventures, going to evolve the genre and establishing itself in the market as something new. The development behind the title was more complex than it might seem, not for problems related to the production itself, but for the enormous amount of creative energy used by the software house Quantic Dream. Just think for example that only it took about 10 years to write the script, not to mention how long it took to weave in game all the facets of a very complex plot, which deals with current issues such as racism and poverty. All this is revisited with a sci-fi theme, but which remains damn current and in many ways does not differ at all from everyday life. In any case we are not here to talk about politics or anything else, in this article we will analyze the three protagonists di Detroit: Become Human, We are talking about Kara, Markus and Connor. Three different personalities who are inevitably linked to a single destiny. This is their story.

Land defence

Kara is an AX400 model android. Part of the game's storyline will focus on her and how she tries to integrate, with natural difficulties, into civilization. This android specimen was designed to take care of normal household chores such as housekeeping or, if needed, also babysit. For this reason he speaks over 300 languages ​​and is able to cook a large number of dishes. Particular praise should be given to the concern he has towards children, in fact it is equipped with all the qualities a caregiver needs. Unfortunately, Kara belongs to a former taxi driver, an unemployed named Todd Williams, where her main job is to look after her owner's biological daughter, Alice. Man is disturbed by strong psychic problems that make him unpredictable and incredibly violent. Therefore, as scheduled, Kara will have to help little Alice: they will begin with escaping from a father completely out of his mind until they become fugitives to discover a violent and hateful world, where tolerance and kindness have now given way to despair.

Markus

If we talk about Markus we are talking about an android model RK200, or a robot dedicated to the care of the elderly. Its owner is the painter Carl Manfred, who has inevitably needed help in his daily life since he lost the use of his legs. In this case we see how a machine with human features can come to life in the eyes of its owner. Although Carl shows a good deal of coldness towards Markus, little by little he will begin to develop a certain empathy towards the latter, treating him as a real human being. He will teach him literature, painting and much more, nourishing Markus's incorporeal nature, so as to increase in himself a sort of awareness that will make him more "human". The relationship between the two grows day by day, obviously to the detriment of Leo, Carl's true and only son. This will create a kind of jealousy towards Markus, going more and more to deteriorate an already precarious and feeble peace. Carl will no longer be able to provide for Markus, and for this very reason the android will have to find another way to go. Soon he will find himself making the so-called “leap longer than the leg”, going from a simple caregiver for the elderly to a real leader of a revolution. The responsibility is not exactly the same as in his first assignment, so he will face difficult choices that will inevitably mark the fate of an entire race.

Connor

Connor, the android model RK800, is definitely the oldest acquaintance we've made about it Detroit: Become Human. As he himself communicated through the trailers, it is a machine created by CyberLife, a company that deals with providing cutting-edge androids for all kinds of needs. Connor was developed as a member of the police investigation department, so his job is to assist other human members of his own department during the investigation. Its biggest upgrade is related to social interactions, that is, it is able to communicate with the right language to any being. Obviously it is perfectly functional as far as the reconstruction of crime scenes is concerned, going to analyze with extreme precision and attention the evidence he found himself. His primary goal is to complete the mission at any cost, with no scruples in jeopardizing even his own life. Connor tested an android of a certain caliber, convincing the company to place him in the team that is dealing with the rebel androids. For this reason he is assigned to Lieutenant Hank Anderson, a very aggressive soldier with a visceral hatred of machines. Connor's mission will be to find out what is happening behind the rebellion of his fellows, while trying to earn the crucial trust of his current master, namely Anderson. Redeeming a race and saving it from bigoted clichés, restoring a rosy future to a city that is now increasingly in decline, all this in Connor's hands.
