Character Information
Character Name: Hank Anderson
Fandom: Detroit Become Human
Character History:
Wiki
Additional information; I am playing Hank from the “good/happy” ending, which is also on the wiki page— but a brief summary: Connor and Hank become friendly and in the end of the game Hank embraces Connor as a pseudo son rather than just a “partner” which is intensely meaningful considering Hank’s history.
Character Personality:
Hank is a 53 year old man, who is overweight, an alcoholic, cynical, and barely keeping himself together. In his youth, his prime, he was a celebrated police officer who moved up the ranks into his current position, lieutenant. Through the course of his work he was awarded praises, medals, recognition for his push in the drug field (prevalent in the game is a drug called Red Ice). After the death of his son, Cole (6), Hank became significantly detached from life.
Hank is bright, incredibly so, which carries on past his grief. He maintains his career, despite numerous disciplinary actions from his superior. Although the relationship between him and his boss is tumultuous at best with both of them frequently getting into arguments. There are indications and examples where Hank does not respect his superior and still treats him as a peer (when they met as classmates). Hank does not have any healthy relationships nor a support system, he’s generally cold toward others and closed off. He’s combative with some of his coworkers and the others he does demonstrate the ability to work well with, but outside of the task there is very little exchange. The few people he does partake in regular exchanges with are not necessarily the “law abiding citizens,” that would be cohesive with his line of work. These contacts and relationships don’t bother him because he believes their business ultimately doesn’t “hurt anyone,” and so long as it doesn’t bother anyone than it doesn’t bother him (like friendly game of gambling).
Hank spends most of his time at home with his dog, or in bars. After the death of his son, Hank coped with maladaptive coping strategies that were risky, unhealthy, and dangerous. Before having met Connor, Hank was full of resentment and misplaced anger toward androids; believing anything that doesn’t feel, have emotions, or can’t make their own decisions to be pointless and irritating. His experience with Connor’s deviation has given him new insight into androids and he began to view them as individuals rather than machines. Thus, toward the end of the game he develops a familial feeling toward Connor and embraces him into his life.
Connor’s presence has also helped to give Hank something more to live for and a desire to live. He has a better outlook on life and with Connor he also has a friend and support system to keep him safe.
Some of his other personality qualities are derived from the wall he still keeps up so instead of being direct and genuine when he’s uncomfortable he’ll tend to use humor, anger, or crassness to advert attention. He does have hobbies, but will struggle with habits that surround the hobbies; such as watching the game at the bar where he can enjoy copious amounts of alcohol.
Powers and Abilities: He’s human, street smart and intelligent academic wise.

I need some of you to gather around and create a basketball team. I need a side of sports with my beer and I need to start my own gambling ring.
So, all of you athletic people. Make this happen.
Next order of business relates to this bending shit. I’m going to need someone to bend me a Delorean, I’m talking about the DMC-12 - you know exactly what I want.
Finally, I’m going to start my own private investigation services. If nothing other than the fact I can start saying I’m a PI.
That is all.
Third Person:
He wasn’t a philosopher by any means, but the idea of having his whole history be some goddamned dream-trip didn’t settle well with him due to the fact that his past made him who he was. Which is where the philosophy came in; he was molded by his experiences. The idea his past wasn’t real was ludicrous to him. Furthermore, who the fuck let him sleep for 50-plus years? Christ. If he had been sleeping all this time why not wake him up in his prime so he could really get the hang of this place. By now his high cholesterol was two salt-shakes from tipping him over.
Oh, right—
Bending. He hasn’t talked to a lot of people but from what he’s heard he could Bend himself over a new heart. Hank couldn’t help the cynicism that kicked in after that thought. Yeah, right.. I’ll bend right over and .. Needless to say he wasn’t buying it. He wasn’t buying any of it. This Bending business made Hank’s Detroit feel more real than Nautilus. Especially with some of the things he’s seen here and adamantly denied to recognize, acknowledge, or mentally deal with. That list ranged from an animal that would be best described as a monster where he’s from to a boy with long ears that anyone would find out of a fantasy novel. His effective coping strategy surfaced like an old dependable friend and Hank managed with a steady flow of alcohol to calm his nerves and significantly distort his expectations of reality. Afterward, it wasn’t too hard to think about elves, monsters, dragons, and that his 53 years of life was spent in a dream that felt all too real while living it.
Yet, how could he argue with the facts? He was here, now, and they all were there; so many different people who had come from so many different worlds that were explained to them as dreams. It was hard to swallow, so Hank did the only thing that he found easy enough to swallow. He took to the booze and he took to the darkness within the far depths of his mind.

no subject
◎ Hank graduates top of his class, Valedictorian, of his police academy and soon joins the Detroit City Police Department.
◎ 2027-2028 Hank joins the Red Ice Task Force (Red Ice is the name of a popular drug) and is successful in taking down big dealers.

◎ 2035 Hank and Cole were in a car accident.
◎ October 11, 2035 Cole dies from complications of surgery. Cole was operated by an android who took place of a human surgeon who could not perform the operation due to being under the influence of Red Ice. (This is where Hank’s dislike of the androids begins).
◎ Hence forward Hank’s work performance, attitude, and health declines significantly.
◎ November 5, 2038 (Partners) Hank is found by Connor for the first time, an android sent by Cyberlife to help in the investigation.. at the bar and from there they attend a crime scene together to get to work. "Err, Jesus! What the hell are you doing?...Ok, just don't put anymore evidence in your mouth, you got it?" Hank sees Connor putting liquid evidence in his mouth for analysis.
◎ November 6, 2038 (The Interrogation) “We’re waistin’ our time interrogating a machine, we’re gett’n nothing out of it!” Hank’s relationship with Connor improves with the androids interrogation efforts on a deviant android they’ve put into custody from the crime scene in Partners.
◎ November 6, 2038 (Waiting for Hank) “I know jack shit about androids, Jeffrey! I can barely change the settings on my own phone..” Jeffrey is his supervisor, they both attended the police academy together, and it’s revealed Hank has earned a few disciplinary write ups in the last few years. Hank tries to get himself out of investigating android deviants, Jeffery tells him to, “do what I say and shut your goddamn mouth!” Connor and Hank’s relationship improves with conversation about music and Hank’s dog, Sumo.
◎ November 6, 2038 (On The Run) Hank and Connor investigate another report about a deviant android, they then are swept into a chase on foot as the android makes their getaway with a little girl in tow. The two wanted figures cross a busy highway and Hank forbids Connor to pursue after them. “Hey, you will get yourself killed! Do NOT go after ‘em, Connor, that’s an order!” Their relationship improves with Connor giving up the chase and staying safe.
◎ November 6, 2038 (The Nest) “Don’t you ever do as you’re told? Look, you don’t have to follow me around like a poodle!” Connor tries to apologize, “You’ve even got a brown-nosing apology program!” Which delights Hank as well as Connor’s advice about not eating unhealthy food. While Hank is eating his unhealthy meal Connor continues to talk to Hank and responds to Hank with preferable prompts that improve their relationship. Later they discover a deviant’s hideout and pursue the deviant on foot when finding him there. Hank is assaulted by the deviant and is pushed off a rooftop, Connor stops his pursuit of the deviant and saves Hank which, again, improves their relationship.
◎ November 6, 2038 (Russian Roulette) Hank is seen here unconscious on the floor next to a bottle of whiskey and a gun with only one bullet in the chamber. Connor comes and sobers him up with a new homicide to investigate. “Be a good dog, Sumo. I won’t be long.” On his way out with Connor he gives a quick farewell to his dog.
◎ November 6, 2038 (The Eden Club) Investigating the club, the pair run into a pair of deviants who appear to be in love with one another. Conor spares the pair of sex worker androids, rather than shooting them, and they get away. Their relationship improves. “Woah! Hey! Hey! Hey! Argh, Connor, you’re so disgusting… Think I’m going to puke again…” Another instance when Connor analyzes liquid through his mouth.
◎ November 7, 2038 (The Bridge) “Androids believing in God. Fuck, what’s this world coming to.” Hank and Connor are on a bridge, Hank’s drinking himself to “death” and Connor is processing through their cases and both are sharing some words. “Those two girls.. They just wanted to be together.. They really seemed in love..” Hank reflects back on the deviants at The Eden Club and soon threatens Connor with a gun, though he does not shoot, their relationship improves.
◎ November 8, 2038 (Public Enemy) “You’re starting to piss me off with that coin, Connor.” Hank and Connor arrive at a new crime scene where deviants have taken over a broadcasting station, Channel 16. Connor finds a deviant at the crime scene, chases him, and in the pursuit the deviant gets a hold of a gun and opens fire - Connor chooses to protect/shield Hank rather than pursue the deviant. Their relationship improves.
◎ November 9, 2038 (Meet Kamski) Connor and Hank go talk to CyberLife’s founder, Elijah Kamski. They try to pry some information out of him about deviancy, Kamski offers Connor a deal to talk. Kamski asks Connor to shoot Chloe and he’ll tell him about rA9, Jericho’s whereabouts, and how deviancy works— Connor decides not to shoot the android, Chloe, and Hank decides Connor is capable of empathy. Their relationship improves. “Okay, I think we’re done here. Come on, Connor. Let’s go. Sorry to get you outta your pool.” Hank’s response to Kamski’s offer to Connor, literally putting a gun in Connor’s hand.
◎ November 9, 2038 (Last Chance Connor) Connor and Hank are back at the Detroit Police Department where they’re told they are officially off the case and the FBI is going to be taking over their investigations into the deviant android activity due to the civil war development where androids are standing up for their freedom and rights. Connor asks Hank to give him some time in the evidence room to try and gather as much information as he can to find out the “answer” to all these deviant cases and Hank obliges by causing a distraction. “Perkins, you fucking cocksucker!” Hank assaults FBI agent Richard Perkins for that distraction to give Connor the time needed. Their relationship improves.
◎ November 10, 2038 (Night of The Soul) Connor infiltrates a CyberLife manufacturing facility and finds Hank’s been taken hostage by another Connor model who is threatening to kill Hank if Connor doesn’t fall back into line. There’s a tussle and Hank gets the upper hand by retrieving a gun to threaten both androids with. “One of you is my partner.. the other’s a sack of shit.” Hank makes the correct choice in shooting the imposter Connor and their relationship improves.
◎ End Game ; Connor and Hank are both alive, friends, and Hank is waiting for Connor to meet him in front of Chicken Feed, Hank’s favorite unhealthy fast food place, and they embrace.
