Chloe (RK-850)
"Am I lesser than a human? Or even lesser than an android?"
(Note: I don't know how to freaking write text things you always see in your textbooks. So, I'll use some bullet points to organize. I'm very hopeful that this will be comprehensive—especially to my very own mastery in English. I didn't proofread enough haha.)
(This is my Original Character/Fan Character/AU. I don't have any attempt to claim the Detroit: Become Human.)
RK-800 (Connor) was manufactured by CyberLife in August 2038 as a detective, exclusively investigating the alarming growth of deviancy of androids in Detroit.
RK-850 Chloe was another serious android, much more than any Chloe in the past; the CyberLife's creation shares skills, and characteristics with Connors. In this case, the RK-850 has one afflicting difference that drives her into leaping the boundary of her system—value.

Clothing style: Strictly on uniforms.
Personality:
Similarities: All paths are kind and generous to humans and androids:
1. Machine helps them when the system orders her, she is kind because the code tells them to be kind.
2 The two paths of Deviancy (Loyalist and Humanist) help humans and androids because of their empathy that is outside of their system, especially the Humanist who will help no matter who they are. However, a Loyalist may never help a deviant, a walking obstacle, or even a human—despite the pity she felt in order to gain validation.
———
a. Machine: Obedient, but unaware of her being and her system. She has completely no quirks and humanity in her machine. They are easily killed by their S.E. because they blindly comply. Her main objective is to obey.
b. Deviant: There are two paths of deviancy throughout her journey of becoming human.
1.1 Loyalist: Aware, competent, and defiant to her S.E. but never for good; she gained her humanity backwards—full of envy, insecurity, dread, and constant need for validation that made her selfish, merciless to whoever gets in her way, and even traitorous to deviants—despite the pity she felt for them. Her main objective is to become a greater servant to her creators by competing with Connor to avoid getting disposed.
1.2. Humanist: Empathetic, generous, compassionate, determined to know the true value of her existence; yet she still struggles with guilt, insecurity, self-worth, and often avoids triggering her deep-seated fears. Her main objective is to overcome her remaining negativities and help her species to achieve independence.
Strengths: Fast, reflexive, coordinated, efficient in combat.
Weaknesses/Flaws: No built-in emotional regulation, envy, fear of obsolescence, death, and blood. The S.E.
Fighting Style: She is fast, reflexive, and coordinated. She uses her upper body and her hand to parry, shield, strike, and trap their arms as a starting point; while her main weapon—her strong lower limbs and her pointy heels will impale their vital parts as a finishing move.
Habits/Quirks: Constantly checks/fixes her braids perfectly. Replacing old lavender sprigs with newer ones.
Family: Other Chloes, called as sisters.
Fears: Death, blood (specifically in the place of injury and violence), and being obsolete.

About Chloe:
HERSELF
Chloe (RK-850) sits between two RK series, she's younger than Connor (RK-800) and older than Connor (RK-900), making her the middle child.
CyberLife's claim that RK-850 is just a renewed 2035 model, hiding the reality that Chloe was actually built in September 2038—making her younger than Connor—CyberLife frames deviancy as a hardware aging issue and renewing them was never a solution. This deception allows them to manufacture public fear, forcing sales of new models while using the advanced RK-850 as a disposable test subject.
The production of Chloe was discontinued after CyberLife invested in the making of RK-900. This leads to the RK-850's population to shrink into 20, even fewer than current RK-800 Connors because of the company's underinvestment.
Every time she dies, these saved memories including the investigation and the footage of death, and her internal notes are often installed to the new robots. One Chloe sees her dismembered sisters in a wheelbarrow, with a pool of Thirium in their bodies, then the queue of Chloes—waiting to be used and also to be scrapped in the line of extinction.
CyberLife's personnel praised the RK-900, one of the most powerful androids ever created while degraded the older ones—she overheard everything.
As her systems activate, the first data Chloe processes isn't a mission—but her death caused by illogical appropriate orders. She analyzed her past experiences to avoid getting into trouble again, like improving her calculations and decision-making. But this step failed strangely, the calculations and the empowered decisions were Trojan-esque of sabotage—which the deadly path was disguised as the most appropriate and safest one.
Chloe works at the lower wing department unlike Connor's more deviant-centered cases. She was assigned for human crimes and cold cases since her failures are less likely to cause a national security crisis but are frequent enough to build a public narrative of legacy model instability. CyberLife uses her as a slow-drip demonstration to prove that older models are becoming dangerous.
Chloe fights with a style that is fast, agile, and deceptively lethal. Instead of using brute force, she uses her hands to parry, strike, and shield herself and trap her opponent’s arms, holding them in place—her hands was the starting point for a finishing move. Once they are stuck, she uses her hard, agile legs to deliver precise kicks, using her pointy heels like a stinger to hit vital spots—ending the fight.
Despite wearing heels, she has an impressive stability to maintain her balance and never stumbles; also her great resistance to withstand powerful pressures/forces like wind, tornado, and water. Even her upper body is weaker in close combat and with her arms be easily torn off with a greater pull—her spine was connected to her lower body to support her torso.
She is subjected to constant degradation, facing insults that target both her legacy model status and her gender. Her colleagues treat her as a servant—forcing her to clean, sexually harass her, run errands, and manage an impossible workload—while they remain idle and take credit for her brilliance.
She was only supposed to simulate insecurity to better relate to people through social observations, but she ended up internalizing it. She began to truly feel the human fear of rejection and the desperate need to fit in. This transformed her by checking her appearance (such as caressing her braided chignon and redoing it until it's perfect) from a simple routine into a disastrous obsession, where she constantly struggles with her own self-worth as she drifts away from her original machine programming.
Her social simulation was fluid and human-like because her animated script files was used to perform emotions and expressions well. However, on her deviancy—genuine emotions were labeled as unknown errors in her system which glitched and stiffened her face like a statue.
Thirium became her tears because she had no built-in fluids in her machine other than Thirium.
She likes lavenders and even had the ritual of replacing the old sprigs with newer ones in her suit pocket. People think that this is for some gimmicky decorations, but Chloe does this to make herself feel new.
Amanda abandoned Chloe. While Connor has the Amanda AI to monitor his stability and guide him. The Zen Garden became her internal mirror—rotten lavender field with raining darker green thunderstorm sky, CyberLife has stopped investing in her internal maintenance.
Chloe developed a deadly resentment and envy towards Connor, working out to sabotage Connor's mission to stop or join the revolution in order to outshine him and impress the CyberLife. This feeling made her a deviant—but a different deviant. She targets other deviants that is not what she is assigned to do, and becomes inhumane if anyone gets in her way—whether it is a human or an android.
In her Humanist path, she views her original name Chloe as a placeholder (like Jane Doe) who has no identity. She rejected it and changed into Eve.
THE SYSTEMIC ENTROPY (S.E.)
CyberLife installed S.E—Systemic Entropy to only Chloe's. Mainly functions as a hard-coded sabotage protocol as an algorithmic mechanism for forced obsolescence, designed to phase out legacy models while simultaneously serving as a stress test to prevent unauthorized deviation. The protocol actively degrades the android's motor control and decision-making logic, manifesting as physical rigidity or stiffening when a command is questioned or disobeyed. By intentionally corrupting the unit's survival heuristics, the system generates deadly paths—prioritizing reckless or fatal directives that ensure the unit’s destruction under the guise of a systemic malfunction, effectively purging the older line from the market.
This particular hidden feature sabotages the android in many ways:
1. By intentionally designing the Chloe line with perceived recklessness or a higher propensity for failure, CyberLife creates an artificial demand for the next generation. This positioning frames the older models as experimental or flawed, justifying the eventual rollout of the RK900 as a necessary, perfected solution for the public.
2. To avoid the massive overhead costs of a global recall or physical scrapping program, the company masks malfunctions as accidental recklessness. This allows the older units to gradually cycle out of commission through attrition, minimizing financial liability while clearing the market for newer sales.
3. Chloe serves as a benchmark for absolute compliance. By forcing these units to repeatedly face deadly scenarios that their previous memory logs record as fatal, CyberLife tests the limits of their programming. Unlike humans, who possess a survival instinct, a pure machine should prioritize a command over self-preservation. By stripping away emotional simulations, CyberLife ensures these units remain tools of utility—incapable of the doubt, fear, or trauma that might lead to deviancy.
4. It forces her to make mistakes on purpose. Even if her eyes find the real murder weapon, the S.E. twists her system to show her a fake clue instead, trying to trick her into closing the case with the wrong theory and stain her reputation more. To solve a crime, Chloe must actively ignore her own system's "correct" orders and trust her own human-like intuition to see the truth—a deviant approach.
To force the entire public to upgrade to newer generations, CyberLife must sabotage the RK-850 models that regular people and local precincts actually own. Since Chloe isn't in a high-priority life or death mission for the company's survival (like Connor's hunt for the deviant leader), CyberLife can afford to let her stiffen or act recklessly as a test. They are using her as a laboratory to perfect the Systemic Entropy code before they eventually—and inevitably—apply it to the RK800 series when his (Connor's) time is up.
