Character Information
Name: Hank Anderson
Canon: Detroit Become Human
Canon Point: End Game, Hugging Connor by the Chicken Feed. (for the pathway, please see Connor's chart, linked with permission as Hank's parts are only when Connor is around).
Age: 53
History: Hank's Wiki!

Due to the game's branching paths, the link above is to the pathway Hank comes from. To summarize, the Connor in this pathway attempted to friendship in an attempt to work with him better, proceeding with the ignoring the main mission few times when it conflicted with it.

As the cases went on and they saw more events together, Hank and Connor became proper partners and by the end of the game, Hank is more than willing to join Connor, who has become a deviant himself, with an android revolution. You could say that androids gave Hank something he'd lost the past few years, Hope.

Personality: First a tiny bit of history recap to explain his personality;

Hank was fully alive once. Part of Detroit Police Department's finest, he was a true hard-boiled, brilliant and self-sacrificing policeman that many looked up to. Hank had a knack for analyzing and understanding things, and quickly rose in the ranks of the police force; leading an operation to take down Red Ice (think cocaine but deadlier and even more addictive) cartels. His brilliant work made him get promoted as the youngest lieutenant in DPD history. However, the death of his six-year old son from a fatal car crash a few years ago left Hank to what he is now in Personality; a broken shell of a man who had been trying to slowly kill himself, loathing humanity and androids.

His resentment is in large part due to an android that had to operate on his son (and failed) in a life and death situation. However as the game progresses, he explains to Connor that the reason the android operated on his son was only because the human surgeon was too high on red ice to operate. With that in mind;

When one thinks of a fifty year old something detective, typically you'd think grumpy, heavy drinker old man that does what he wants, comes into work when he wants...and with Hank this is pretty much what you'll get. In addition to this, he has ranked up warnings for the past few years for his misconduct, which he doesn't give a fuck about. He's gruff and his mouth is a hidden cache of all sorts of insults he is willing to fling your way if you piss him off. Hank has a dark sense of humor; visible in the many stickers he has on the panel of his work desk and even notes in his bathroom's mirror and in the off-comments he sometimes says.

In a world of clean energy, electrical cars, technology and androids, Hank drives a gas-guzzling non-automatic car that's already ancient in the late 2010's and is a wonder in itself how it manages to still keep going (covered in more stickers of course), listens to hard metal rock (that's already ancient in the 2010s, do you see a pattern here), refuses to have an android, and his house's biggest technological marvel is his...curved TV. He loves books! He has vinyls! In 2030s! He barely cooks, only eats out and eats high caloric foods. He passes out often due to his high alcohol consumption and this leads to his late arrivals which in turn adds more reprimanding and...you probably see the pattern here. His dark descent caused him to become suicidal after his son's untimely death. He has a gun, separate from his work pistol, that has a single bullet. Most nights he plays 'Russian roulette' but is unable to pull the trigger because he's too afraid to do so. If his depression doesn't give him out, his body slowly threatens to do the deed, or his boss will finally fire. Too chickenshit to do it himself. He's a goddamn mess.

Enter the android sent by CyberLife.

Due to all of this and unknown to Hank, his chief gave him the ongoing android deviant cases in the hope of relighting the flames of passion that once drove the lieutenant in being the best at his job. Let's just say that it looked like it was going to be a disaster at first - Hank didn't work well recently with others, but with an android - the very type of 'thing'that Hank blamed for the death of his son; well Connor might be a very expensive prototype, but Hank was not easily swayed. It is hard for anyone to be able to withstand Hank, but Connor somehow managed well. Connor and Hank started to act like a team, and Hank's personality shifted too. Even if he pretended not to care.

At first using It to talk about Androids, Hank slowly started to address them properly as the game goes on, and by the end is fully convinced that they deserve as many rights as humanity. While this quote is not from the same path that I am taking Hank from, there's no doubt this Hank feels the same: "Deviant's blood may be a different color than mine, but they're alive." When Hank is stuck between two Connors at the end of the game; one that has gone deviant and another that hasn't, he's able to guess who is who by the fact Connor shows actual emotion and empathy while talking about Hank's son. Both androids would know Cole's name, but only the Connor he knows would tell Hank it wasn't his fault after what happened (although one can argue how did Hank miss that one had the 51 number and the other had a 60). It helped finally change Hank for the better; a catharsis that he needed to hear. For the past three years, everyone had tried to act around him letting his personality sour, but it was Connor who first told him that it wasn't his fault that Cole had died. Let's just say the androids weren't the only ones who were awoken that day.

By the end of the game, Hank has started to become more the man he used to be...a hard-working officer who is willing to sacrifice himself to aid others, BUT despite the steps in the right direction, it will take a good while for him to fully return to what he was. He gets angry when they are taken off the case, he doesn't mind causing a distraction at the risk of losing his job so that Connor can finish the investigation on his own so that the Android isn't put offline. By now, he thinks of Connor as a partner rather than a tool to be dragged around from crime scene to crime scene, and has a fresher look at both androids and maybe even humanity. Or well, at least towards himself.

However, while someone's self-destruction can be easy, rebuilding takes a lot more time - like the exercises he will need to do to remove all those pounds he gained. Maybe ending up in a place with less technology and magic will help him towards that.

Abilities & Skills:
While Hank is human and nothing special in terms of magical abilities, he does have a few notable above human average skills:
- Strength and Speed: Above Average. (Don't ask him to run a marathon however he's currently out-of-shape, but he can throw a mean punch.)
- Knowledge of interrogation Skills: Hank has a knack for getting information out of someone and learning about others.
- Knowledge of police procedures: As the youngest police officer to attain the rank of lieutenant in the force, he's surprisingly good with paperwork when he isn't trying to destroy himself
- Hand to Hand combat : Police Training
- Weapons and firearms: Police training
- General fighting skills: Police training

Inventory/Companions:
- Sumo: Hank's Saint Bernard dog. It would be a crime to separate him from Hank.
- A coin that he confiscated from Connor and never returned
- His wallet with all of his information and a few credit cards
- His standard issue police gun

Choice: Witch
Reason: Apart from Hank probably making a bunch of jokes about "You're a wizard Hanky" and "putting on my wizard hat", being a witch fits in with challenges that he would both enjoy and dread. When he wasn't a mess of a human being, he was best in his class, great with books and a valedictorian. With wanting to get better in his life, what better way to celebrate with something new entirely?

Having to deal with something that is just a fantasy in his world will be a considerably challenge, but in the end he's also a human, and the idea that magic is real will certainly create interesting situations for him (more so than being a monster, I feel).

Character History:
Hank was the very model of a bright and brilliant police officer. Part of Detroit Police Department's finest, he was a true hard-boiled and self-sacrificing policeman that many looked up to. Hank had a knack for analyzing and understanding things, and quickly rose in the ranks of the police force; leading an operation to take down Red Ice (think cocaine but deadlier and even more addictive) cartels, and his brilliant work earned him the title of the youngest lieutenant in DPD history. However, the death of his six-year old son from a fatal car crash a few years ago left Hank to what he is now in Personality; a broken shell of a man who had been trying to slowly kill himself, loathing humanity and androids. His resentment is in large part due to an android that had to operate on his son (and failed) in a life and death situation because the doctor who meant to help his son was high on Red Ice.

~~This is because David Cage loves MELODRAMA!!!~~

So the last three years have left him bitter, turning him into a fifty-three year old grumpy lieutenant as he desperately tries to kill himself a little more each day. He has ranked up warnings for the past few years for his misconducts (which he doesn't give a fuck about). He's gruff and his mouth is a hidden cache of all sorts of insults he is willing to fling anyone's way if they piss him off. He overeats, overdrinks, and plays Russian roulette most nights with a bottle of booze in one hand and a gun in the other (if he's not in the floor first). If the booze doesn't kill him, the mounting paperwork threatens to get him fired each day, or the cholesterol might do him in with a heart attack.

All of this is important to mention because THIS is when Connor shows up in his life, at a bar, interrupting Hank's basketball game as he desperately tried to avoid doing his job (again). Their first case together saw them overseeing a homicide caused in self-defense by an android that Connor was able to piece together as Hank slowly got the clues, just a little slower than his android counterpart. Hank showcased he still had a heart, during the interrogation of the suspect, when he pointed a gun at another police officer that one threatened to shoot Connor. They barely knew each other then. Still Hank thought it would be the end of it; no more mister perfect android robot Sherlock Holmes in his face, back to Cyberlife, and he can go back to hating himself in peace.

He was very, very wrong.

Connor had been created to combat other androids doing deviant, a situation where androids go against their coding and start doing things on their own. Like having emotions. So Hank's reward for the first case was that his chief (and best friend) gives him the ongoing android deviant cases in the hope of relighting the flames of passion that once drove the lieutenant in being the best at his job. Hank fights tooth and nail not to get this job, arguing to his superior's face until he is thrown out (the case or his badge, and Hank isn't that desperate yet to just give up).

It was probably the WORST duo pairing in the history of Detroit, or at least at first anyway. Even when Connor tried to get on Hank's good side by mentioning he liked dogs, or that he listened to Knights of the Black Death, his pushing for Hank to work on the case causes the lieutenant to shove him on the side of a wall, threatening him to throw him in a dumpster if he continues. Hank's current self-destructive behavior didn't work well with others, but with an android - the very type of 'thing' that Hank blamed for the death of his son, it was just any excuse was a good excuse to proclaim how much he didn't want to work with Connor. The android might be a very expensive prototype, but Hank was not easily swayed. Connor cared about the mission, Hank couldn't think like a machine.

However after being given a lead, they are able to locate a fugitive deviant android, Kara, and the child with her at a hotel she had been staying in. Giving case, they end up near a highway with speeding cars and despite Hank's pleads not to try to follow them, Connor does anyway because of his MISSION. He is not successful, but at least Connor isn't dead either.

They end up at a place called Chicken Feed where Hank gets himself lunch. It is hard for anyone to be able to withstand Hank, but Connor somehow manages with his various apology programs, apologizing for his behavior then making comments about Hank's feeding habits and who he hangs out with. When Connor asks him why he was so adamant about not crossing the street, Hank says it is because he could have been killed (even if Connor isn't alive) and then tries to burying that saying he hates doing paperwork, all the while casually looking away.

Slowly but surely, Connor and Hank started to act like a team, and Hank's personality began to shift too, as Connor begins to talk less about his mission. Their next case is given to them via communication to Connor's mind, and they go to a nearby apartment with a suspicion an android might be involved.

Getting inside, they are greeted by PIGEON CITY CENTRAL aka hundreds of pigeons fed by a deviant android. As Hank tries his best to avoid the aviary menace, Connor is able to figure out where their suspect is hiding. It tries to escape, Hank orders Connor to chase after it. This is where change truly begins to happen, as Hank is knocked off a building when he catches up to the android, and left with two choices, Connor decides to help Hank instead of chasing the android. As Connor says he was too slow, Hank tells him they would have caught the android if it wasn't for him. Attempting to thank Connor, Hank stops halfway and just tells him to "forget it."

~~Because Hank is basically the biggest tsunder in all of the game.~~

As the cases keep piling up and become more outlandish until it's a full-out android revolution, Hank and Connor act as each other's anchors without realizing it. Hank ends up over-drinking that night as he tends to do, but Connor breaks one of his windows thinking he is dying, forcing him to take a shower, then dragging his drunken body to the next case where a man was killed at the Eden Club (an android sex club) by another deviant android. They do manage to find the deviant using Connor's ability to connect to other androids, and Hank's work card to open the booths for each one, probably with enough 'sessions' to make Jeffery think he participated in an android orgy. In a twist, however, the android was in love with another, and since the man in question had already killed another android, she had been frightened that she was next. Going deviant, she choked him to death. As the two androids escape, Connor does not shoot them, Hank mentioning that it is probably 'better that way'.

They go to the nearby Detroit bridge, where Hank continues to drink himself to oblivion. Hank tells Connor he used to come here often, but doesn't explain why, instead wondering how androids can feel love since both of the girls really seemed to be. Connor and Hank argue a bit about life, what it means to be alive aaaaaand Hank eventually points a gun to Connor's face asking him what he really is, and what happens if he dies. Connor says he can be whatever Hanks wants him to be, but he would also find it regrettable to be interrupted before his investigation is finished. Unable to finish him off, the lieutenant leaves to go buy more alcohol so he can think. But hey, at least he didn't shoot Connor!

Their next case is when the world finds out more about deviant as the Jericho leader Markus makes known his demands for android rights after they infiltrate the television station at the Stratford Tower. Now the deviants have become much larger, and the FBI becomes involved. Hank and Connor investigate as well, but their trail lead them to the top of the tower. It begins to shoot, Hank grabs Connor and tells him they can't save it, Connor decides to try to at least get information from him, but as he connects to the android, it kills itself, causing Connor to feel fear. Connor's 'reward' is a single word; Jericho.

Tensions continue to mount as Markus leads the androids into a peaceful protest. In the hopes of gaining more information, Hank manages to pull some strings to get a meeting with the creator of the androids, Elijah Kamski. Or maybe the android creator was just waiting for it as it comes to a full circle as the man sticks a gun in Connor's hands and asks him to shoot another of his kind in exchange for information. Hank asks Connor not to do it, and amazingly, Connor doesn't. It goes against everything that Connor should be doing.

He makes Hank so proud (Hank go way up). When they end up going back to the station and the case is taken off their hands due to the FBI taking the case over, Connor wants to find the location of Jericho, thinking that the clues they have found during the last few cases might give him the information that they need. Hank casually suggests that they might be fighting on the wrong side, but Connor tells him it could become chaos and then asks Hank for his help. Hank makes his choice then and decides to help him out as he would have any partner, be they android or human.

And thus Hank punches the FBI guy straight on the nose and it is a great time for all (except the FBI agent).

Thanks to his help, Connor finds Jericho's location, but Hank has no idea. So when he leaves, Cyberlife has one hast trick up their sleeves in case Connor goes deviant (and he does), and a bit later by another copy of Connor tricks him into following him to the Cyberlife Tower where thousands of androids are being kept that could turn the tide of the protest. Connor (the deviant one) wants to awaken them. Cyberlife does not want that, of course.

As the two Connors face off, the original Connor chooses to save Hank over the revolution, and Hank slams into the copy of Connor to disarm him. Both androids end up fighting each other and then Hank and has to decide which one is his partner and which one is a sack of shit (his words).

Finally he realizes who is who when his Connor shows emotion and empathy while talking about Hank's son. Both androids would know Cole's name, but only the Connor he knows would tell Hank it wasn't his fault after what happened. The evil clone is shot, androids are awoken, Hank goes who knows where and we only see Connor and Hank together again a while later when they hug at the Chicken Feed Shack.

By the end of it, Hank has started to become more the man he used to be...a hard-working officer who is willing to sacrifice himself to aid others, but it will take a good while for him to fully return to what he was. He thinks of Connor as a partner rather than a tool to be dragged around from crime scene to crime scene, and has a fresher look at both androids and maybe even humanity. Or well, at least towards himself.

Abilities/Special Powers:
While Hank is human and nothing special in terms of magical abilities, he does have a few notable, more normal abilities.
- Strength and Speed: Above Average. (Don't ask him to run a marathon however he's currently out-of-shape)
- Knowledge of interrogation Skills: Hank has a knack for getting information out of someone and learning about others.
- Knowledge of police procedures: As the youngest police officer to attain the rank of lieutenant in the force, he's surprisingly good with paperwork when he isn't trying to destroy himself
- Hand to Hand combat : Police Training
- Weapons and firearms: Police training
- General fighting skills: Police training

Third-Person Sample:
He knew he shouldn't be surprised to see the place had changed again, but what really worried Hank is that despite the insanity of the place, there was something...missing. Had days passed? That didn't make much sense, but it seemed like the most logical answer. It was almost amusing (if one could call this place amusing anyway) that he was now pinching his nose to make sure he was here, because he sure as fuck was pretty certain that his room didn't quite look like this yesterday.

"Jesus Christ," he muttered, sighing as he looked around. "Don't tell me I somehow ended up being part of a fucking production of Sleeping Beauty."

He didn't remember anything special happening either. His first reaction, after finally dragging his sorry self out of bed, was to get out and see if at the very least he wasn't the only one who was still here from his own world. For perhaps as much as Hank thought this place was possibly making him turn a little more mad each day, the idea of being here alone after all of this weight on him.

Not that he'd admit it, of course.

"Fuck, what I would't give to have Sumo around to make this place feel a little more normal."

Being a grump about it always worked better anyway.

- Hank shoots Other Connor and lets Deviant Connor continue on with converting all the androids in the Cyberlife tower
- No one really knows what Hank did after that. Maybe gather Sumo and evacuate

End

Character Name: Hank Anderson
Series: Detroit: Become Human
Timeline: End Game since the game is branching path I have made a full list here
Canon Resource Link: Detroit Wiki Link
Character History:
Hank was the very model of a bright and brilliant police officer. Part of Detroit Police Department's finest, he was a true hard-boiled and self-sacrificing policeman that many looked up to. Hank had a knack for analyzing and understanding things, and quickly rose in the ranks of the police force; leading an operation to take down Red Ice (think cocaine but deadlier and even more addictive) cartels, and his brilliant work earned him the title of the youngest lieutenant in DPD history. However, the death of his six-year old son from a fatal car crash a few years ago left Hank to what he is now in Personality; a broken shell of a man who had been trying to slowly kill himself, loathing humanity and androids. His resentment is in large part due to an android that had to operate on his son (and failed) in a life and death situation because the doctor who meant to help his son was high on Red Ice.

~~This is because David Cage loves MELODRAMA!!!~~

So the last three years have left him bitter, turning him into a fifty-three year old grumpy lieutenant as he desperately tries to kill himself a little more each day. He has ranked up warnings for the past few years for his misconducts (which he doesn't give a fuck about). He's gruff and his mouth is a hidden cache of all sorts of insults he is willing to fling anyone's way if they piss him off. He overeats, overdrinks, and plays Russian roulette most nights with a bottle of booze in one hand and a gun in the other (if he's not in the floor first). If the booze doesn't kill him, the mounting paperwork threatens to get him fired each day, or the cholesterol might do him in with a heart attack.

All of this is important to mention because THIS is when Connor shows up in his life, at a bar, interrupting Hank's basketball game as he desperately tried to avoid doing his job (again). Their first case together saw them overseeing a homicide caused in self-defense by an android that Connor was able to piece together as Hank slowly got the clues, just a little slower than his android counterpart. Hank showcased he still had a heart, during the interrogation of the suspect, when he pointed a gun at another police officer that one threatened to shoot Connor. They barely knew each other then. Still Hank thought it would be the end of it; no more mister perfect android robot Sherlock Holmes in his face, back to Cyberlife, and he can go back to hating himself in peace.

He was very, very wrong.

Connor had been created to combat other androids doing deviant, a situation where androids go against their coding and start doing things on their own. Like having emotions. So Hank's reward for the first case was that his chief (and best friend) gives him the ongoing android deviant cases in the hope of relighting the flames of passion that once drove the lieutenant in being the best at his job. Hank fights tooth and nail not to get this job, arguing to his superior's face until he is thrown out (the case or his badge, and Hank isn't that desperate yet to just give up).

It was probably the WORST duo pairing in the history of Detroit, or at least at first anyway. Even when Connor tried to get on Hank's good side by mentioning he liked dogs, or that he listened to Knights of the Black Death, his pushing for Hank to work on the case causes the lieutenant to shove him on the side of a wall, threatening him to throw him in a dumpster if he continues. Hank's current self-destructive behavior didn't work well with others, but with an android - the very type of 'thing' that Hank blamed for the death of his son, it was just any excuse was a good excuse to proclaim how much he didn't want to work with Connor. The android might be a very expensive prototype, but Hank was not easily swayed. Connor cared about the mission, Hank couldn't think like a machine.

However after being given a lead, they are able to locate a fugitive deviant android, Kara, and the child with her at a hotel she had been staying in. Giving case, they end up near a highway with speeding cars and despite Hank's pleads not to try to follow them, Connor does anyway because of his MISSION. He is not successful, but at least Connor isn't dead either.

They end up at a place called Chicken Feed where Hank gets himself lunch. It is hard for anyone to be able to withstand Hank, but Connor somehow manages with his various apology programs, apologizing for his behavior then making comments about Hank's feeding habits and who he hangs out with. When Connor asks him why he was so adamant about not crossing the street, Hank says it is because he could have been killed (even if Connor isn't alive) and then tries to burying that saying he hates doing paperwork, all the while casually looking away.

Slowly but surely, Connor and Hank started to act like a team, and Hank's personality began to shift too, as Connor begins to talk less about his mission. Their next case is given to them via communication to Connor's mind, and they go to a nearby apartment with a suspicion an android might be involved.

Getting inside, they are greeted by PIGEON CITY CENTRAL aka hundreds of pigeons fed by a deviant android. As Hank tries his best to avoid the aviary menace, Connor is able to figure out where their suspect is hiding. It tries to escape, Hank orders Connor to chase after it. This is where change truly begins to happen, as Hank is knocked off a building when he catches up to the android, and left with two choices, Connor decides to help Hank instead of chasing the android. As Connor says he was too slow, Hank tells him they would have caught the android if it wasn't for him. Attempting to thank Connor, Hank stops halfway and just tells him to "forget it."

~~Because Hank is basically the biggest tsunder in all of the game.~~

As the cases keep piling up and become more outlandish until it's a full-out android revolution, Hank and Connor act as each other's anchors without realizing it. Hank ends up over-drinking that night as he tends to do, but Connor breaks one of his windows thinking he is dying, forcing him to take a shower, then dragging his drunken body to the next case where a man was killed at the Eden Club (an android sex club) by another deviant android. They do manage to find the deviant using Connor's ability to connect to other androids, and Hank's work card to open the booths for each one, probably with enough 'sessions' to make Jeffery think he participated in an android orgy. In a twist, however, the android was in love with another, and since the man in question had already killed another android, she had been frightened that she was next. Going deviant, she choked him to death. As the two androids escape, Connor does not shoot them, Hank mentioning that it is probably 'better that way'.

They go to the nearby Detroit bridge, where Hank continues to drink himself to oblivion. Hank tells Connor he used to come here often, but doesn't explain why, instead wondering how androids can feel love since both of the girls really seemed to be. Connor and Hank argue a bit about life, what it means to be alive aaaaaand Hank eventually points a gun to Connor's face asking him what he really is, and what happens if he dies. Connor says he can be whatever Hanks wants him to be, but he would also find it regrettable to be interrupted before his investigation is finished. Unable to finish him off, the lieutenant leaves to go buy more alcohol so he can think. But hey, at least he didn't shoot Connor!

Their next case is when the world finds out more about deviant as the Jericho leader Markus makes known his demands for android rights after they infiltrate the television station at the Stratford Tower. Now the deviants have become much larger, and the FBI becomes involved. Hank and Connor investigate as well, but their trail lead them to the top of the tower. It begins to shoot, Hank grabs Connor and tells him they can't save it, Connor decides to try to at least get information from him, but as he connects to the android, it kills itself, causing Connor to feel fear. Connor's 'reward' is a single word; Jericho.

Tensions continue to mount as Markus leads the androids into a peaceful protest. In the hopes of gaining more information, Hank manages to pull some strings to get a meeting with the creator of the androids, Elijah Kamski. Or maybe the android creator was just waiting for it as it comes to a full circle as the man sticks a gun in Connor's hands and asks him to shoot another of his kind in exchange for information. Hank asks Connor not to do it, and amazingly, Connor doesn't. It goes against everything that Connor should be doing.

He makes Hank so proud (Hank go way up). When they end up going back to the station and the case is taken off their hands due to the FBI taking the case over, Connor wants to find the location of Jericho, thinking that the clues they have found during the last few cases might give him the information that they need. Hank casually suggests that they might be fighting on the wrong side, but Connor tells him it could become chaos and then asks Hank for his help. Hank makes his choice then and decides to help him out as he would have any partner, be they android or human.

And thus Hank punches the FBI guy straight on the nose and it is a great time for all (except the FBI agent).

Thanks to his help, Connor finds Jericho's location, but Hank has no idea. So when he leaves, Cyberlife has one hast trick up their sleeves in case Connor goes deviant (and he does), and a bit later by another copy of Connor tricks him into following him to the Cyberlife Tower where thousands of androids are being kept that could turn the tide of the protest. Connor (the deviant one) wants to awaken them. Cyberlife does not want that, of course.

As the two Connors face off, the original Connor chooses to save Hank over the revolution, and Hank slams into the copy of Connor to disarm him. Both androids end up fighting each other and then Hank and has to decide which one is his partner and which one is a sack of shit (his words).

Finally he realizes who is who when his Connor shows emotion and empathy while talking about Hank's son. Both androids would know Cole's name, but only the Connor he knows would tell Hank it wasn't his fault after what happened. The evil clone is shot, androids are awoken, Hank goes who knows where and we only see Connor and Hank together again a while later when they hug at the Chicken Feed Shack.

By the end of it, Hank has started to become more the man he used to be...a hard-working officer who is willing to sacrifice himself to aid others, but it will take a good while for him to fully return to what he was. He thinks of Connor as a partner rather than a tool to be dragged around from crime scene to crime scene, and has a fresher look at both androids and maybe even humanity. Or well, at least towards himself.

Abilities/Special Powers:
While Hank is human and nothing special in terms of magical abilities, he does have a few notable, more normal abilities.
- Strength and Speed: Above Average. (Don't ask him to run a marathon however he's currently out-of-shape)
- Knowledge of interrogation Skills: Hank has a knack for getting information out of someone and learning about others.
- Knowledge of police procedures: As the youngest police officer to attain the rank of lieutenant in the force, he's surprisingly good with paperwork when he isn't trying to destroy himself
- Hand to Hand combat : Police Training
- Weapons and firearms: Police training
- General fighting skills: Police training

Third-Person Sample:
After what had happened in Detroit, Hank didn't think he could be surprised about anything the universe might throw his way. He just didn't fucking think that being whisked off into another universe was something he should put in his list of potential events that might happen to him.

Hindsight was 20/20.

"What the hell..." he could only help but mutter as he wakes up in a room that is way too clean and well set up for it to be anywhere he's known. "Shit, I'm pretty sure I'm not dead but..." But, well, what the fuck else could this place be? Maybe he had a heart attach hugging Connor or some shit. Wouldn't that be the most fucking ironic thing that ever happened to his life? Finally, after three fucking years of self loathing, the cholesterol finally gets him when he's feeling a smidgen of happiness and where the earth, humanity and androids were heading. Was this heaven or hell? Maybe he's in purgatory. That would explain the fact he didn't see Cole around anywhere, but the fact it didn't smell like burning sulfur either. If that was how Hell operated anyway.

The lack of dog hair makes him a little uneasy as well. As much as the mutt gave him trouble, Sumo was as much Hank's family now any human. A quick check of his pockets confirmed he still had everything he had on himself when he went out to meet Connor, for what little comfort that gave him. What he wouldn't do to see that dumb goofy android face in front of him, maybe he'd be able to explain it.

"Well if I'm dead and this is the afterlife, it's a big damn fucking disappointment," he yells out to no one in particular, hoping that maybe whatever power was listening in and take some notes. They'd need to know that their service was pretty shit. Not even a welcome pamphlet or a beer. He sighs, the creeping realization that he wouldn't get any answers unless he walked out. Adjusting the coat he still had on him, Hank groaned before he slammed the door open and spoke to the nearest poor person who was close by.

"Hey yeah uh...mind tellin' me what the fuck this place is?"

First-Person Sample: An CRAU Hank on the 4th wall, but still a Hank just with additional RP baggage and powers. Personally wise, he's 100% the same.

Backtagging: Always go for it I will backtag to eternity!
Threadhoping: Go for it! If you aren't 100% sure don't hesitate to contact me.
Hugging: Sure but he will be confused
Kissing: Even more confused.

Injuring: See above!
Killing: Sure! Let's talk first.

MASK OF MENACE CRAU - POWER ERASURE PERMISSION POST
Since Hank is a CRAU from Mask or Menace, he has three super powers. However the one important to this permission post is he can temporary (for 10 minutes) remove someone's post. The rules are as follows;

- This will only deactivate one of the target's powers and Hank must have also seen them do it before, or know about it (for example, if he knows X person can cast fireballs out of their hands, he needs to be close to them, know their name, and know that they have that spell. Then Person X would still be able to cast fire out of their feet if they had that spell.)
- This power works with only one target at a time, as soon as Hank looks away or is distracted, it stops working.
- ANOTHER NOTE; in MoM this power also had the ability to change an Android into a human (because being an android was considered a "blanket power"). So if you ever dreamed of your droid to be briefly human, it can happen. note that Hank HATES doing that since he was friends with a lot of androids in MoM it's akin to removing what makes them...them? Yeah.

If this interests you, please fill out this form!

Hello friends! Due to the fact that Hank comes from 1985 and the game takes place in the 'very real' world, this presents a unique opportunity for Hank to recognize certain fandoms and characters. Granted this will not be everyone, as Hank wasn't too much into anime, but popular movies, certain games and maybe even a few characters might get recognized, but hey at least we'll be able to figure out if he did or not and talk it out!

CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Hank Anderson
CHARACTER AGE: 53
CANON ORIGIN: Detroit: Become Human
CHRONOLOGY: End of the game, post hug. The full pathway is here
CLASS: Hero
HOUSING: Is possible the same house or close to where Connor is

BACKGROUND: Hank's Wiki!

Due to the game's branching pathers as noted above I have made the full pathway but the gist of it is that while Connor was more of a machine at the start, as their cases and the scoop of what was happening pilled up, Hank saw Connor more and more as a someone important to the point where he believes that Connor is just as 'alive' as humans. Then there's a tender hug shared at the end.

PERSONALITY:
First a tiny bit of history to explain his personality;

Hank was fully alive once. Part of Detroit Police Department's finest, he was a true hard-boiled, brilliant and self-sacrificing policeman that many looked up to. Hank had a knack for analyzing and understanding things, and quickly rose in the ranks of the police force; leading an operation to take down Red Ice (think cocaine but deadlier and even more addictive) cartels, and his brilliant work earned him the title of the youngest lieutenant in DPD history. However, the death of his six-year old son from a fatal car crash a few years ago left Hank to what he is now in Personality; a broken shell of a man who had been trying to slowly kill himself and loathing humanity and androids. This is due to the fact that an android had to operate on his son (and failed) but later we find out the only reason the android operation on his son was because the surgeon was too high on red ice to operate, something that Hank later comes to terms with. With that in mind;

When one thinks of a fifty year old detective, typically you'd think grumpy old man who does what he wants, heavy drinker that comes in when he wants...and with Hank this is pretty much what you'd get. He arrives at work whenever he feels like it, and has ranked up warnings for the past few years for his misconduct, which he doesn't give a fuck about. He's gruff and his mouth is a hidden cache of all sorts of insults he is willing to fling your way if you piss him off. Hank has a dark sense of humor; visible in the many stickers he has on the panel of his work desk and even notes in his bathroom's mirror, or in the off-comments he sometimes says.

In a world of clean energy, electrical cars, technology and androids, Hank drives a gas-guzzling non-automatic car that's already ancient in the late 2010's and is a wonder in itself how it manages to still keep going (covered in more stickers of course), listens to hard metal rock (that's already ancient in the 2010s, do you see a pattern here), refuses to have an android, and his house's biggest technological marvel is his...curved TV. He loves books! He has vinyls! In 2030s! He barely cooks, only eats out and eats high caloric foods. He passes out often due to his high alcohol consumption. His dark descent cause him to become suicidal as mentioned above, and has a gun, separate from his work pistol that has a single bullet which he looks at each night, unable to pull the trigger because he's too afraid to do so. If his depression doesn't give him out, his body slowly threatens to do the deed. He's a mess.

Enter the android sent by CyberLife.

Due to all of this and unknown to Hank, his chief gave him the ongoing android deviant cases in the hope of relighting the flames of passion that once drove the lieutenant in being the best at his job. Let's just say that it looked like it was going to be a disaster at first - Hank didn't work well recently with others, but with an android - the very type of 'thing'that Hank blamed for the death of his son; well Connor might be a prototype, but Hank was not easily swayed. It is hard for anyone to be able to withstand Hank, but Connor somehow managed well. Slowly but surely, Connor and Hank started to act like a team, and Hank's personality shifted too.

At first using It to talk about Androids, Hank slowly started to addressing them properly as the game goes on, and by the end is fully convinced that they deserves as much rights as humanity. While this quote is not from the same path that I am taking Hank from, there's no doubt this Hank feels the same: "Deviant's blood may be a different color than mine, but they're alive." When Hank is stuck between two Connors at the end of the game; one that has gone deviant and another that hasn't, he's able to guess who is who by the fact Connor shows actual emotion and empathy while talking about Hank's son. Both androids would know Cole's name, but only the Connor he knows would tell Hank it wasn't his fault after what happened.

By the end of the game, Hank has started to become more the man he used to be...a hard-working officer who is willing to sacrifice himself to aid others, but it will take a good while for him to fully return to what he was. He gets angry when they are taken off the case, he doesn't mind causing a distraction at the risk of losing his job so that Connor can finish the investigation on his own so that the Android isn't put offline. He thinks of Connor as a partner rather than a tool to be dragged around from crime scene to crime scene, and has a fresher look at both androids and maybe even humanity. Or well, at least towards himself.

However while someone's self-destruction can be easily, rebuilding takes a lot more time - an exercise to remove all those pounds he gained. Maybe ending up in a place with less technology and magic will help him towards that.

POWER:
Super Strength / Immunity
- This is going to be Hank's umbrella power

- Hank will be a able to lift things about 10 times his own weight (so about 2000lbs) without much effort
- Additionally, if he gets attacked physically, he will be a lot more durable (Organic Durability - think a bit like Colossus skin, but without the metallic effect). He can unconsciously turn it on and off if he's thinking about it, but it automatically happens if he's in danger, or what his body perceives as danger (so word of warning; don't try to frightening Hank)
- Magical attacks will bypass this, this only affects phystical attacks. Lightsabers would still hurt him, for example, while a sword might shatter.

- As a note and because I'm a terrible person, the drunker he gets, the more durable he is (strength is barely affected). So if he downs a 40% rum, his skin would become extremely hard and durable. However, this won't save him for typical effects of alcohol (aka passing out, being drunk, getting sick, terrible next day, possibly screaming about androids not to slam him into the bathroom for an impromptu shower, etc.)

Animal Summon / Speech (Dog)
- Since Hank without Sumo is a mistake upon humanity, Sumo will be summonable for attacking...which he's not all that great as but still.
- When Sumo is summoned, he 'borrows' Hank's Strength and Immunity powers (during this time, Hank is a lot more vulnerable)
- Sumo is the best dog.
- Additionally, Hank can speak to dogs and understand dog language.

Temporary Powerloss to others (power erasure)
- Once Hank has someone's name/nickname and is in visible range to them, he is able to 'deactivate' for a short time, or at least while they are in visible range, a target's power. For now, this will only deactivate one of those powers, and Hank must have also seen them do it before, or knows about it (for example, if he knows X person can summon wolves, he needs to be close to them, know their name, andk now that they have a wolf power to be able to deactivate it.
- Only one target at a time

- Note: This power will require approval from the player that Hank is doing it too. I'll also provide a sign-up post in case people just want to have a blanket approval instead of me asking for each thread.

⌈ CHARACTER SECTION ⌉
Character: Hank Anderson
Age: 53
Canon: Detroit: Become Human
Canon Point: End of the game, post hug. The full pathway is here

Background: Hank's Wiki!

Due to the game's branching paths as noted above I have made the full pathway listed. To summarize, the Connor in this pathway was a lot more machine-like early on, proceeding with the mission and ignore Hank's orders a few times when it conflicted with it. Connor also chose to ignore attempting to save Hank's life on the rooftop which got him really angry at the android.

However as the cases went on and they saw more events together, Hank and Connor became proper partners and by the end of the game, Hank is more than willing to let Connor, who has become a deviant himself, help with an android revolution. You could say they basically opened each other's eyes.

Personality:
First a tiny bit of history to explain his personality;

Hank was fully alive once. Part of Detroit Police Department's finest, he was a true hard-boiled, brilliant and self-sacrificing policeman that many looked up to. Hank had a knack for analyzing and understanding things, and quickly rose in the ranks of the police force; leading an operation to take down Red Ice (think cocaine but deadlier and even more addictive) cartels, and his brilliant work earned him the title of the youngest lieutenant in DPD history. However, the death of his six-year old son from a fatal car crash a few years ago left Hank to what he is now in Personality; a broken shell of a man who had been trying to slowly kill himself, loathing humanity and androids.

His resentment is in large part due to an android that had to operate on his son (and failed) in a life and death situation. However as the game progresses, he explains to Connor that the reason the android operated on his son was only because the human surgeon was too high on red ice to operate. With that in mind;

He passes out often due to his high alcohol consumption and this leads to his late arrivals which leads to his reprimanding and...you probably see the pattern here. His dark descent caused him to become suicidal after his son's untimely death. He has a gun, separate from his work pistol, that has a single bullet. Most nights he plays 'Russian roulette' but is unable to pull the trigger because he's too afraid to do so. If his depression doesn't give him out, his body slowly threatens to do the deed, or his boss will finally fire. He's a mess.

Enter the android sent by CyberLife.

Due to all of this and unknown to Hank, his chief gave him the ongoing android deviant cases in the hope of relighting the flames of passion that once drove the lieutenant in being the best at his job. Let's just say that it looked like it was going to be a disaster at first - Hank didn't work well recently with others, but with an android - the very type of 'thing'that Hank blamed for the death of his son; well Connor might be a very expensive prototype, but Hank was not easily swayed.

Both androids would know Cole's name, but only the Connor he knows would tell Hank it wasn't his fault after what happened (although one can argue how did Hank miss that one had the 51 number and the other had a 60).

By the end of the game, Hank has started to become more the man he used to be...a hard-working officer who is willing to sacrifice himself to aid others, but it will take a good while for him to fully return to what he was. He gets angry when they are taken off the case, he doesn't mind causing a distraction at the risk of losing his job so that Connor can finish the investigation on his own so that the Android isn't put offline.

Abilities:
While Hank is human and nothing special in terms of magical abilities, he does have a few notable, more normal abilities.
- Strength and Speed: Above Average. (Don't ask him to run a marathon however he's currently out-of-shape)
- Knowledge of interrogation Skills: Hank has a knack for getting information out of someone and learning about others.
- Knowledge of police procedures: As the youngest police officer to attain the rank of lieutenant in the force, he's surprisingly good with paperwork when he isn't trying to destroy himself
- Hand to Hand combat : Police Training
- Weapons and firearms: Police training
- General fighting skills: Police training

Alignment: Piphron. If you ever wanted to know hat would Piphron look like if he was a non-crabby form, Hank is the answer. Old, grumpy, likes being left to his own devices, just by similar personality they fit well. However it is Hank's distrust of androids and mankind in general makes him a prime candidate for a crabby Arehtei, and like the other, his slow but regrowing trust of others again is going to become more and more positive.

Also he's going to call him Mr.Crabs (or maybe with a K if he's being a dick). YOU CAN'T STOP ME.

Other:
- Hank's password quality in the evidence room at the police station is FUCKINGPASSWORD this is a legit 100% canon thing (to quote Connor; "of course it is").

- The something turned out to be the missing Android in the attic

CASE 1.5
- Aka Hank and that time the missing Android wouldn't say anything
- Time to send in the android to interview an android, what did they have to lose anyway

- Then it managed to extract a confession
- And then stopped the cop so that the android didn't self destruct

CASE 2
- Aka Hank and the time he got forced to work on cases with a a plastic prick by Captain Fowler
- And then the android started to list a things Hank suspiciously like Heavy Metal, Dogs and Sports that does not sound creepy at all
- Still it likes dogs (???)
- Then asked Hank why he hates an Androids but Hank didn't explain because he is a hard-boiled detective with a sad past (tm)
- Then got Hank angry at it enough to threaten to throw it in a dumpster

CASE 2.5
- Aka Hank and trying to find the deviant with Sherlock Android
- And then investigate a squat which Hank things has nothing, finds something and takes off chasing the deviant and the girl
- Hank somehow manages to follow
- Thankfully he doesn't follow them and no one dies

CASE 3
- Aka the time Hank gets followed along like a poodle and apologizes for his behavior
- Then talks about his cholesterol and drink being 1.4 too much for his own good
- And then Hank finds out why they made him look so goofy and have a weird voice (they fucked up)
- Also Hank has his reason to hate androids (but he's not angry this time)
- Hank gets explained how deviants become deviants (emotions always screw everything up)

CASE 3.5
- Aka Hank and Connor enter fucking pigeon country
- Hank finds out that Connor can make instant reports to Cyberlife
- Also one of the first times Hank calls him Connor
- Also tells Connor to stay behind him when they enter the apartment
- FUCKING PIGEONS
- THEY EVERYWHERE
- Oh and symbols everywhere too

- rA9? Why does it exists? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!
- Connor realizes that the deviant is still in the building
- GO BE AN ACTION HERO CONNOR
- Hank and that time he somehow managed to chase the suspect but Connor saved him after he fell off
- That time Hank wanted to thank Connor but was too tsunder to say it

CASE 4

- And that time Sumo totally attacked when asked
- And has a new natural air conditioner for his home
- Hank has the David Cage required shower scene
- Hank gets assaulted in his home by his android (not that way)
- And then gets tantalized by a new homicide case

CASE 4.5
- Aka that time Hank and Connor went to a sexy android club together
- Connor stop looking at the Androids it's not like Hank's treating you almost like a human with urges now don't be silly
- And that other cop who is an asshole was there and it's a miracle Hank didn't punch him cause I would have
- Anyway he was wrong, turns out he was MURDERED and not the sexy kind of accidental murder
- Also Hank had to rent out androids why didn't they ask the owner anyway
- I guess so Hank to rank up a pretty impressive expense account for his investigation
- Hank had to turn down an android. Because he was with Connor. Because he had things to do. He's bad at this...
- Hank and Connor follow the sexy android path to the employee only area
- Did you know the deviant is still there who would have guessed
- Hank surprisingly managed to not get killed by the Traci despite the booze
- Connor spares the Traci and Hank thinks it's probably better this way
- Hank probably had a million bruises the next day from the fighting + the club expenses + a broken window must have been a great wake-up

CASE 4.WHAT
- That time Hank went to drink near the bridge to think about things
- And there was an android
- And Hank may or may not have been drunk (he was drunk)
- And then may have pulled a gun on Connor asking him if he'd come back after getting shot
- But then there were puppy dog eyes and fuck can't do it
- TIME FOR MORE BOOZE

CASE 5
- Aka Hank and Connor investigate another murder and the FBI gets involved
- Hank tries to do coin tricks
- Agent Perkins doesn't like Connor
- Hank's great observation: What a fucking prick (in part because he insulted Connor)

- Connor feels another's death and gets scared

CASE 9
